Review Lime Crime Velvetine: Wicked

I recently purchased the Lime Crime Velvetine from urban outfitters. It's really getting hyped around the YouTube community and I decided hey I want to get it. 

On to my review! The packaging it so adorable with little roses on it. When I first opened the product, the consistency is a light liquid, but it dries up to a matte finish. 

Here's the picture as it first applied from the applicator. 

And here's a picture once it dries matte

When I first applied it on my lips, I applied a little bit to much and it kind of smears when you apply too much of the product. So I highly recommend applying a little bit at a time. As it dries to a matte consistency, it does feel slightly sticky , but once it dries after awhile, it doesn't feel like it's even there. When I was drinking my hot tea it doesn't seems like to fade away too much. It stayed perfectly nice and matte on my lips for awhile. 

I have to say that I really love this product and it reminds me of the NYX soft matte lip creme, but a high end version. 

I would recommend this lip product who like having matte lips all day! 

5/5! 

My smash book!

I had my smash book awhile, but I really haven't been using or decorating it too often. Days where I am able to have time to myself, I try to find dedication to decorate it.

Well here's my smash book!

this is the front of my lovely smashbook~

One of the completed pages. This page is dedicated to me and my boyfriend and what we had done together. 

And here's one of the pages that is a working progress. The first page is for my trip to the MT. Baker in Washington state, then the other page is for some of the Japanese photo booth(or Purikura) pictures from Rowland Heights, CA. 

The Smash Book is a good where of keep good memories in a book. It kind of feels like scrapbooking in a way... well similar, okay maybe very similar, but a smash book is way better because it includes pages that already have a design for the pages(so it's not plain white and boring). If you would like to know where I got my smash book. Click here!

I believe I got mine in a big pack at Joann's on sale for $10.99? I don't remember, but I recommend just getting the book itself because you won't have all these extras that you don't know what to do with. 

Here's a little tip for your smash book!

• try to plan out the page and how you would like it to look. 
• don't stick things on until its how you like it to look!
• save little things that reminds you of your trip or memory of a special day. 
• buy items where you know you will use up all of the items for your smash book.
• buy letter stickers! (there some cute ones at target for $1!)
• look on Pinterest if you're not inspired!
• Sticky notes for description of a picture. 
• Gluestick, scissors, and pens are your best friends while smashbooking!
• Be creative!

Still clueless what to do? Here's a little inspiration!

Review on the The 3w Clinic Fresh Royal Jelly Mask Sheet

In the picture, it's the one in front if it's isn't obvious. Haha. But anyways, I got this sheet mask in a big pack at this beauty store in garden grove and it happens to be on sale for about $10? I believe. 

So before I even used it, I wanted read some reviews on this product, but it seems like people like to use the other ones and not this specific kind. 

Well instead I'll put the description of what this mask is suppose to be capable of. 

The Clinic Fresh Royal Jelly Mask Sheet contains Royal Jelly Extract and is supposed to improve dry and tired skin, leaving it smooth and vibrant. Royal jelly is a rich source of proteins and essential amino acids, fatty acids and sugars." (Source:http://www.gohalainn.net)

I only used this product about twice and I  did see that it did hydrated my skin after using it at night. I also saw that my acne scar faded a little bit as well. Not only that , but I did realize my skin became brighter after using it twice. It absorbs in the skin fairly quick. And what I realize with this mask is that it doesn't contain too much essences or liquid, it's the right amount to put on your face! 

I would rate this product 5/5~~~

DIY jewelry organizer

Helllllooooo everyone, I have created this simple jewelry organizer. 

What you need is: 

small cord board

push-pins

few cup hooks

power drill

and mounting tape.

So to start off I just bought a cork board at Dasio or you can go to micheals for a cork board. With the power drill make sure the bit of the drill is a little bit smaller than the cup hook. Then you twist in the hook and adjust it the way you like it to be.

BUT if you dont have a power drill, you can do it the manual labor way and twist in the cup hook into the board. OR, use a screw and a screw driver and screw the screw in first, then take it out and insert the cup hook

Once you have all the hooks how you like it to be. Cut out the mounting tape and stick it behide the board and mount it to the wall. It doesn't create any hideous holes or anything!

And now for the push pin, you can just place it anywhere to your like and there you go cute little jewelry organizer.

The final product! 

A day in Seattle, WA.

So today was a relaxing day with my cousin. We decided to explore around Seattle just for shits and giggles. 

And silly me for wearing fall fashion in still in summer fashion.

#OOTD

Top: Zara

Bottom: Forever21

Boots: Urban Outfitters

Jacket: Cotton On (No we don't have cotton on here in seattle)

To start off our day, we went to "Samurai Noodles" around the chinatown area. Best place to get ramen in Seattle!

then we were off to the main downtown of seattle and I grabbed a juice from Evolution. It taste so good, but it had cayanne pepper, which gave it a little kick to the drink. 

And to end the day, we went to urban outfitters to look for clothes, but came across these japanese onies. They were super warm and I wanted one for myself, but they were on the pricy side. I found this funny mug that said "coffee makes me twerk", it almost made me want to buy. 

To end my blog post. I just want to talk about how exicted I am to transition into fall fashion. 

I'm ready for all the beanies, scarves, layering, boots, oversized sweater, and everything! 

Fall just start already!

Review : Revlon Gel Envy in Queen of Hearts&HighStakes

In both pictures the "queen of hearts" is on the left, while "high stakes" is on the right.

So I had first tested out Revlon's Gel Envy in High Stakes because I really wanted to try out a gel nail polish. At first I wanted to try the Sally Hansen Gel polish, but I didn't feel like spending about $10 at my local fred meyer. Instead I remembered someone had mentioned the new Revlon Gel Envy somewhere around youtube.

To be honest, I didn't have so much high hopes for this nail polish, but as I have the nail polish on. It had stayed on for about a week and two days 

When I started applying the polish to my nails, right away, it was really opaque for only one coat. 

I just need two coats, and it also dries super quick. 

After being really satisfied with "high stakes", I decided to buy "queen of hearts". For this color, you probably need two-three coats to get it to the true color, but other than that I am also extremely satisfied with this color as well. 

I recommend trying this Gel Polish, it's probably the cheapest gel nail polish out there!

It has a good selection of colors to choose from, and it's a very long wearing polish!
