At home leg waxing fun =p

How was your weekend?  I went salsa dancing on Fri and wanted to wear a skirt, but before that I needed to get my legs waxed, LOL.  Luckily for me, Christina Chen from http://www.makeupbyQ.com who just recently got her esthetician's license was able to wax me! :D  See how she prep'd the wax session by cutting paper bags into strips?  It actually works very well!  

See how professional she is!  With gloves and everything...

First she prep'd my skin with Satin Smooth Satin Cleanse, followed by Mancine Professional Prep Wax Oil.

There we go!  Applying wax....

Strip!!!

:)  Yay to smooth legs - thanks Christina :)

[Sponsored Review] Caroline Chu Skincare


Back in April I showed you my current skincare products, featuring Caroline Chu Skincare.  I've been using them daily since then and am now able to write you a review!

General speaking, everything I've tried from this line is pretty good, but I especially love Caroline Chu Green Tea Antioxidant SerumCaroline Chu Day & Night Hydrating Cream, and Caroline Chu White Tea & Pomegranate Age Defying Toner.



Caroline Chu Green Tea Antioxidant Serum
Ah, antioxidants... who doesn't need antioxidants??

[Sponsored Review] Bliss Poetic Waxing Strips (Face) & The Youth As We Know It Moisture Lotion SPF 30

Bliss Poetic Waxing Strips
Hypoallergenic and paraben-free, The Bliss Poetic Waxing Strips are perfect for fast, on-the-fly fuzz removal, designed to target your trouble areas for in-between touch-ups or on-the-spot grooming sessions. 

Bliss, Oprah's favorite spa, is famous for its waxing services (among other products and services of course), and the Bliss Poetic Waxing Strips is perfect for those who want to bring a bit of Bliss home; it's especially perfect for someone like me with a little fuzzy situation on the upper lip area =p

Lovely eh? =p  fuzzy!

The strips need to be warmed up in your hands first, and are double sided.  This means that every wax session you need to use both strips, unless you can somehow save one side?  Maybe the strips can be folded in half but I'm not sure how that'd affect the wax...  

Ok here we go, time to wax:

[Invisalign] Tray 11 - half way done!

Invisalign update!  My last post was back in March when I was on [Invisalign] Tray 6.  I am now on Tray 11 and am half way there!  I decided not to do a blog post on every tray because I really didn't see obvious improvements from tray to tray.  But things are looking different now - my teeth have improved a lot!  Let me show you!

See how much straighter my teeth are looking now compared to when I first started? :D  But wait, there's more!

[Spotted] Someday by Justin Bieber, fragrance for women

Hmm... seriously?  Justin Bieber has a fragrance for women......?  Or more for younger girls....?  Can't really wrap my head around this one >.<

About the fragrance:
Justin created SOMEDAY to give fans a personal invitation and intimate access to his heart. It's a fragrance he can't get enough of and can't stay away from, making those who wear it irresistible. So take the experience past the music, beyond the performer, and journey deep into a world of possibilities. Into the world of Justin Bieber.

SOMEDAY is more than just a fragrance: it's energy with a state-of-mind that inspires. It is a personal gift straight from his heart, giving fans a chance to get one step closer to Justin. It's a fragrance he can't get enough of and can't stay away from, making those who wear it irresistible.

1.7 fl oz/50ml Eau de Parfum Spray - $45.00

Um... ya... no comment?  But I might have to give it a sniff next time I see it at the store, quite curious as to see if this will bring me closer to Bieber himself =p

[FOTD] Too Faced "Eye Love" Palette - Romantic Eye

In my last post I shared with you my [Fancies] Too Faced "Eye Love" - Sephora Beauty Insider 500 Point Perk, well as promised, this entry will feature the Romantic Eye in my FOTD.  The Romantic Eye consists of 2 shadows in Honeymoon and Ever After.  See how pigmented these shadows are with a simple swatch?

Now let's get started shall we?

[Fancies] Too Faced "Eye Love" - Sephora Beauty Insider 500 Point Perk

Lookie here!  I redeemed my Sephora Beauty Insider 500 points for the Too Faced "Eye Love" palette.  This palette contains 8 eye shadows - 2 from each of their best-selling kits.  And as a bonus, a travel sized Too Faced Cosmetics, Shadow Insurance is also included :)  I redeemed this about a month ago, so not sure if they still have it...

This palette also comes with simple instruction on how to create 4 different looks: Natural Eye, Smokey Eye, Naked Eye, and Romantic Eye.


Looks good doesn't it?  Will you show my FOTD featuring the Romantic Eye in my next post :)

[Fantasies] Philosophy Purity Made Simple One-Step Cleansing Bar for face and body

Hmm... seems like I am about to go on a collecting streak with Philosophy's Purity Made Simple line up.  Remember I want their [Fantasies] Philosophy Purity Made Simple Mineral Oil-free Facial Cleansing Oil as well?  The Purity Made Simple One-Step Cleansing Bar is for face and body, retails for $20 for 7 oz whereas the One Step Cleanser is $20 for 8 oz.

Purity Made Simple One-Step Cleansing Bar gently, yet effectively, cleanses and leaves skin perfectly clean and comfortable. 
  • formulated with naturally-based cleansers to effectively melt away dirt, oil and makeup
  • creamy, rich lather is mild and gentle on the skin
  • 8 essential oils help condition skin, leaving it feeling perfectly clean, soft and comfortable from head to toe

It's been ages since I last used a bar soap, and I can't remember how long it lasts compared to liquid soap.  I just am not a fan of the messy residue that bar soaps leave on the soap racks, know what I mean?  But I am drawn to the One-Step Cleansing Bar because it'll be so convenient to use 1 product and clean everything!

If you have tried this, I want to hear from you!  I want to know how long it lasts, and how it compares to the One Step Cleanser!

[Fantasies] Philosophy Purity Made Simple Mineral Oil-free Facial Cleansing Oil

Whoa!! Philosophy turned my favorite cleanser Philosophy purity made simple facial cleanser which made my My HOLY GRAIL products of 2010 list into a cleaning oil!!  I LOVE cleansing oils, and can't live without them.  Yes that's right.  I tried to part, but blackheads on my nose would start growing wild.  Cleansing oils are great because they melt makeup away (even stubborn eye makeup) and also deep cleanse the pores :)

experience luxury in a cleanser. purity made simple mineral oil-free facial cleansing oil melts away all traces of dirt, impurities and makeup, as it nurtures skin.
  • melts away all traces of makeup, while maintaining skin's natural moisture levels
  • deep-cleansing blend of natural oils dissolves dirt, oil and impurities
  • rinses completely, leaving skin perfectly clean and soft
Sounds like heaven doesn't it? :)  I have very high hopes for this considering how much I love the Philosophy purity made simple.
