3 CONCEPT EYES (3CE) Ice Cream Kit #Mint Caramel

Hello... today I'm gonna show you Ice Cream Kit from 3CE. I'm so excited with this kit
*So cuteee.....!!!


*This is the packaging (yeah for the bubble wrap)

*Back of the box (all in Korean)

*Inside


One Color Shadow #Star Seed - The reason I bought this kit. shimmer bright orange eyeshadow

One Color Shadow #Neptune. Shimmer green eyeshadow

One Color Shadow #Sparkling.  Shimmer beige shadow, great for base colors or highlighter

Swatches on my hand. 

Swatches on my eye. I use Sparkling as a base then Star Seed on my lid. I didn't use eye primer or eyeshadow base. 

Jumbo lip crayon #Pop Orange. I love this crayon. It's so creamy, pigmented, and moist. 

*My final look using this kit ^.^

What I think about this kit;
- I love the eyeshadow, it's so pigmented, the shimmery it's just right, not too over. Since it's has alot of shimmer in it, you might have to be careful if you work with brush, it might have lots of fall out. It's better to work with fingers. The shadow also stay all day on me, it didn't crease (I don't have oily eyelids)
- The Lip Crayon is amazingggg!!! I love the formula, so creamy and pigmented. It has no scent. It's stay for 3-4 hours before I have to retouch it, but when it's gone, it's not completely gone, it's gonna leave stain on your lips. The only problem is, you have to use sharpener to sharpen the crayon. erghhhh. I would prefer the roll out type, cause I don't like use sharpener. 
- The blush is also great. The color will give you slight of soft pinky colors on your cheeks, that giving you kind of a healthy looks. 
- The highlighter... well, I'm not a fan of highlighter, thanks god this highlighter only give a slight of soft shimmer, not too much shimmery. 


I LOVE this kit and I would recommend this kit. ^.^

Thank you for coming to my blog 
XOXO

3CE Lip Lacquer Review #Super Coral

Hello... today I'm back with 3CE Lip Lacquer in Super Coral
*Look like this when I received it. 

From the 3CE website,  lip lacquer means lipstick- like touch with press powdered- like soft cashmere lips. With a neat finish and non-sticky application. Simple words to say it's a matte cream lipstick. Creamy texture lipstick with matte finish. 

*The box (all description in Korean, except the name of the lip lacquer #super coral at the bottom of the box.

*Inside the box (It has sticker seal at the side of the product since it's in Korean I don't know what it's mean. My guess is don't accept if the seal is broke??? )


*The brush. 
The brush is quite big and 45 degree downward. I'm not really fond with this brush. It's great for bottom lips application, but it's kinda hard to apply for my upper lips and corner of the lips, as a result I have to use my finger to smooth the product on my lips. 

Swatches

*On my hand, the upper photo is no flash, taken indoor, natural light. Bottom; with flash. 

*My bare lips (I just used one layer of Burt Bees Lip Balm)


*One coat of 3CE Lip Lacquer Super Coral on my lips. It's pink orange color. I love the color ^.^
Creamy texture with matte result, but It dried up my lips. As you can see on my bottom lips, you can notice the dryness there..... just like a desert. My chapped lips looks really obvious!.
The staying power is not as good as 3CE Lip pigment. It's gone for 2-3 hours, but leave slight of stain.

Since I have almost same lipstick from other brand, I'll make a short comparison.

After wearing 3CE, I just remove the lipstick with remover then I apply a layer of lip balm then put NYX soft matte lip cream in Antwerp #SMLC05. 

3CE Vs NYX
for 3CE you can clearly see my lips wrinkle line, and it feels heavy on my lips since it's so dry while NYX more moisture so can minimize my under lips line, and feel light as if the lipstick and my lips become 1. 

The brush applicator, NYX has smaller applicator which make me have a good control on applying product on my lips. While 3CE, I think the brush a bit hard to work with.

*Swatches on my hand: It seem like NYX is on dry side, but surprisingly it feels more moisture on the lips compare to 3CE. 

So, my conclusion. 
Will I repurchase this 3CE Lip Lacquer? I will say NO! Sorry...........!!!!! 
The reason;
1. It dried up my lip and staying power is not really good. 
2. I don't like the brush applicator 
3. It's pricy. It cost almost double than NYX. On the plastic of 3CE it stated it's 18,600 Won. I bought it from one of Online Shop in Taiwan for 540 NT, and on their website it's listed $20.81 USD. 

Love reason:
1. It's pigmented 
2. Color range with the colors that so vibrant and trending 
3. I love their website on giving the swatches of the product (complete swatches, lots of photo, beautiful models- well yeah that's the reason I bought this product). 

So.... 3CE or NYX ? My heart goes to NYX.... Sorry.....

What do you think? Have you tried this lip lacquer? Is it also dried up your lips? 
Leave me a comment. I love reading your comment ^.^

Mr & Mrs Nails Art

Today..... I'm gonna introducing Mr & Mrs Nails.
Ladies and Gentlemen....... here we go......




I used: 
1. 2 coats of Peripera BR201 as base colors 
2. For Mrs's clothes (middle finger) 1 coat of  UNT HK010 then add some glitter with Sally Hansen Disco Ball #180. For the hair and white collar I used First Kiss Brush on Nail art paint. ( I just put it on paper and work with my dotting tools) 
3. For Mr's clothes (Ring Finger) 1 coat of UNT HK020 then the rest just as same as no 2. 
4. For the thumb, index and little fingers I apply a coat of OPI Alpine Snow then used my dotting tools and dot line randomly between UNT HK010, HK020, and black stripper then to glam it up I just add some gold and silver glitter. 
5. Final touch..... Seche a vite top coat. 

PS: A few months ago, I saw nail art tips from local newspaper, nails art using cotton bud to substitute stripper brush. So I tried it on my index fingers. The result...... wellll..... I think the tips is.... useless. Cotton bud absorb most of the nail polish so when I want to apply it's nothing left to apply on my nails, plus the cotton has some fall off so as you can see on my index finger I have blue color on top of the gold glitter....... *arghhh

BONUS PHOTO 



My daughter saw my nails and said she also want the same, so I draw on her nails. It was so hard since she keeps on moving. Anyway, I have fun time with my girl ^.^
Happy weekend!

Polka Lace Block Nails

I'm in girly mode, so today I made this nail;




Please check how I did Color Blocking nail with scotch tape ^.^ 
Don't forget to stick the scotch tape on back of your hand first before stick it on your nails. 

I used: 
1. 2 coats of OPI Alpine Snow for thumb, middle and ring finger as base color 
2. 2 coats of OPI Steady as she roses for index and little finger as base color 
3. Then Pink color I used Sally Hansen Xtreme wear #470 Bubblegum Pink 
4. Blue color I used OPI What's with the cattitude (Shrek collection)
5. Yellow color I used OPI Banana Bandana 
6. For the lace it's nail sticker and for the dotting I used my dotting tools 
7. Finally Seche a vite Top coat 

*Tips; for yellow dot, since yellow colors sometimes can be sheer, so it's better dotting white color first as base colors then after it's dry, dot yellow colors on the top of it. This will help yellow colors looks more pop out ^.^

What do you think? Hope you all like it ^.^
Thank you for coming to my blog <3

My Weekend Haul

Again.... another busy week for me, I'm exhausted. The weather getting hotter and hotter here. That's why I was planning to buy sunblock spray, I came to Watsons and here what I found
Well, besides sunblock these babies also came home with me hahahah. Sally Hansen on sale buy 1 get 1 for nail polish and 15% off for nail treatment, woot woot *dancing. I grab 4 colors of polish (Those were the colors left on the shelf so I grab it all). This is my first time bought Sally Hansen nail polish and I'm impress!!! The colors and the formula are so fine (plus I bought it on great deal buy 1 get 1 and I got free Sally Hansen Nail polish Remover) 

What I bought: (From left to right)
1. Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Hardener
2. Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Celeb City #220
3. Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Violet Voltage #445
4. Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Disco Ball #180 
5. Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear Bubblegum Pink #470
6. Bourjois So Laque Glossy Amande defile #04 (this nail polish make me disappointed. The color is so pretty I love this color of green, but the formula is so hard to work with and streaky.)



Excitedly playing with the new colors ^.^
