Black Valentine Nails ( See Through Nails art)

Valentine is near... and if you are PINK haters, hope this would give you an idea <3







My first time trying the see through Nails art. The cuticle line a bit crappy, but anyway, I'm happy with the result. 
For the see through effect I used acrylic paint and put more water than usual. 

What do you think?

XOXO

SKINFOOD Pomegranate Lipstick #PK03 Review and Swatch

I've been wanting to try lipstick with SPF in it and a while ago (yes, bought this lipstick around 4 months ago) spotted that SKINFOOD has this line Pomegranate lipstick with SPF 10 in it. 

The new one has plastic seal all over it 


Inside the tube there's letter "pomegranate lipstick" stamp on the lipstick bullet.
I chose PK03 
(I don't know what's the name since I don't understand Korean)
but when you googling the name of PK03 is 
'Chic Sparky Pink'
but don't know, not sure about it. 
In Skinfood's Taiwan website PK03 name is 嬰兒粉 (Baby Pink)


Swatch on my hand 


Swatch on lips

*I did apply lip balm on bare lips 

I love this kind of pink lips 
The strawberry milky kind of pink <3 
not too pale and too bright, very ideal for daily use 


My first impression of using it, it dried up my lips, because I forgot to apply lip balm before, so my bad. The second time I used it, my lips was fine since I put my lip balm before. 


What I love about this lipstick;
- It has SPF 10 (the ultimate reason I bought this lipstick)
- It has range of colors (11 variances) 
- It has slightly pomegranate scent in it (not too strong), found it very relaxing. 

What I don't like 
- The price is a bit higher than other's range of collection (in Taiwan they sold @590 NT)
- It's not moisture enough for me, I have to make sure to put lip balm before using this. 
- It's not as long lasting as my innisfree or 3CE lipstick

Have you tried this lipstick?

XOXO 
Thank you for reading <3

SKINFOOD NAIL VITA ALPHA NAIL POLISHES SWATCHES (ASG SERIES)

Finally..... My first post in 2014.
Lately, Skinfood (korean brand cosmetics) has their new line of nail polishes, it's TEXTURE nail polishes. There are 6 colors in the line, and what I love about this collection is the soft, pastel, candy colors concept.



Swatches;

ASG01- Milk Candy
A soft grayish white. 
This color so pretty, it remind me of white christmas hahaha


ASG02- Milk Tea Candy
A nude brown color 

It look like beach sand  


ASG03- Honey Candy
Mustard yellow color 


ASG04- Strawberry Candy
Milky pink color 
It look darker in real life, but 
I have problem with this bottle, the formula is so runny, hard to work with 
not sure all of the ASG04's formula all the same or just mine.


ASG05- Mint Candy
So agree with the name of the polish 
it's milky mint color (so beautiful)


ASG06-Coffee Candy 
err why name it coffee? I would prefer Choco candy
or milky choco 
'cause for me the color look like choco milk :P


All of swatches I used 2 coats no top coat and taken indoor 
It sold in Taiwan for 170 NT each (but I got 20% disc at that moment) 

I don't have issues with the formula except for ASG04 (Strawberry candy) which is too runny and took more time to dry, while others are just perfect.
I also love the color selection in this collection, it looks like it scream out SPRING!!! here I come 


What do you think of this collection?
Happy Weekend
and 
Thank you for reading 

XOXO
