Shia: Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip stain Balm

Another product that I've been loving this summer is the Revlon Lip stain balm, it's been widely popular by the beauty community and there's been good reviews too. This lip stain balm is better than the first lips stain they came out with, although I haven't tried it myself, the reviews I read so far seem accurate enough. This lip stain is an actual balm so it doesn't dried and stay moisturized and long lasting all day long. I got it from Target for $6, in the color Adore-a deep dark red.


The packaging itself is interesting, it's like a big crayon for the lips. I love how it's really easy to apply and there's a minty tingly feeling once I have apply it to my lips, but it goes away after a few seconds.
The color is pretty opaque for a deep color like this one but I still like the overall color when apply to my lips. I have heard that the colors can show up differently on different lips due to how pigmented your natural lip color already is.

Shia: Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara


I cannot live without mascara! Concealer, mascara and lip gloss are my three must have for my everyday make up. But I have discover a new found love, bottom lash mascara! This Clinique bottom lash mascara was only $10 at Sephora, I have to say it's pretty small compare to a regular top lash mascara.
It's as long as my entire palm. But for it's size the quality of it is pretty good! I love the wand, it's so easy to use and I can evenly get to all my tiny bottom lashes for a wide-eyed effect.
Here is how the packaging looks like, it's a pretty and elegant package which I find to be very simple and natural, what Clinique is all about. I chose the color 01-Black.
My bottom lashes are super short and fine so before I discover the bottom lash mascara I never really noticed it until now. The picture does not do the mascara any justice but I can say that it's worked for me, I now have long and full bottom lashes.




Shia: Rose Gold Bow Sandals


I have another shoe post! I'm a huge shoes girl and one of my summer must have is sandals, cute sandals that is. I found these adorable rose gold bow sandals at Kohls, from Lauren Conrad, who has a clothing line also available at Kohls. The best part about these shoes is the price, it was originally $40 but on sale for only $17! It was a sweet deal. Rose gold has been a very popular color this season, it's a pink gold that sure enough goes with anything in your closet. I wore these yesterday to the state fair with jean shorts and a tank top and got a lot of compliments. The only con I would have about these is that it's not for long periods of walking. We all know flat shoes can hurt your feet from the inside out, I spent at least 8 hours at the fair that day and by the time the sun went down my feet were killing me! They are still sore today! But I still love these nevertheless and will continue wearing them for short periods only! I don't know if Kohls still have these in stock since it's been a couple of weeks since I bought them, but still check your store or online if you want them!

Nancy: Coral and Lilac Nails

For the summer I tend to color my nails with lighter colors. I used coral pink from Love and Beauty by Forever 21 and do you lilac me? from OPI nail lacquer. Since these two color are lighter, it matches with the season :)

Shia: Nude Pumps!

I'm back with a pair of new shoes! I can't get enough of nude pumps, I like to have a variety of different style and height. This pair is from Dailylook, an online shop that sales a complete outfit for the entire day and for a affordable price. I really like this site because it gives inspirations on how to style and put together a complete outfit. Originally $40, but I had a $20 credit that was used toward this purchase, so it was half off! 

This pair is a bit higher than my other ones, it has a 1 inch platform at the front and 4 inches heel, so a total of 5 inches added to my original height which I need. 

Nude pumps can be worn with anything and any color, I like wearing dresses with them because nude elongates the legs and makes me feel extra slim and taller! Purple dress from Marshall's for $16.99.

Nancy: I LOVE Crimped Hair :)

This has got to be one of my favorite heating tool! I gotta admit I love to crimp my hair more than curling or straightening it. But since I have so much hair, it takes a loooong time to crimp it. But I love the way my hair looks voluminous and bouncy when I finish crimping it! This is a Revlon heating tool. I've always been a fan of Revlon brand so I highly recommend this one. I love how it works on different hair lengths as well. Check out the photos of my short hair compare to Jeanett's long hair.

This is how the back look.

This is how it looks like when it's open.

My short hair. I like how it looks nice on short hair and long hair.

Shia: Bath and Body Works Haul

Hello all! It's been a long time since I've done a haul, so here is one from Bath and Body Works.

The only reason I went into the store was to get these adorable scented anti-bacterial hand gel because I was out. I love how they have all kind of selections and scents so I got a variety of summer ones. Sweet pea is my favorite of course. I also like how they're the perfect size for on the go so it doesn't take up space at all. They were $1.50 each, but it's even better when you get 5 for $5.

Then, I realized I was out of shower gel and since they were having a awesome sale I decided to get three of my favorite ones. Sweet pea, Paris amour, and Love, love, love, their newest one. They all smell great and leave my skin feeling smooth and silky. Each one was $11, but it was buy 2, get 1 free.

Shia: Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation

Happy July 4th! Well it's not the fourth yet but I wanted to say that because who knows what I'll be doing tomorrow. So, after trying out the Garnier Fructis BB cream and it didn't work out I decided to go with foundation. But I didn't want just any foundation, I want one that will work, cover and leave my skin feeling natural and smooth. I heard great things about the Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer and silk cream foundation so I went to Sephora and got myself a bottle. I like that there was so many different colors to choose from so I know which is color is really right for my skin color. I am in the color Sandy Biege as of right now because I have gotten a little tanned. I found the foundation to be very silky and smooth, it glides on nicely and the coverage is full with just one application. My face becomes flawless and natural which was what I really wanted. I set it with my regular drugstore powder and I'm good for the rest of the day! Purchased for $40-$45 at Sephora.
