NOTD/Review: Jelly Sandwich (attempt)

Hello Everyone!

Long time no see (or read). Apologies.

I have been really into the "jelly sandwich" nails and wanted to try it.. except mine wasn't as successful as I had hoped.

I used these 2 polishes:

Left to Right: Mimosas for Mr. & Mrs., The Living Daylights 

I used 2 coats of Mimosas for Mr. & Mrs. and one coat of The Living Daylights. Mimosas for Mr. and Mrs. is a pretty sheer color and I thought it would go well with The Living Daylights. 

This is how it turned out: 

I'm kinda on the fence about this combination. I don't know what it is, maybe its because I was disappointed that it didn't work as well as I wanted it to. 

hmm... What do you guys think? 

First Laneige Product / Diet Plan

Hello~  <(＾▽＾)>

I've decided to start taking care of my skin and my diet. I've been eating wayyy to much junk food these days because of stress. Eating makes me so happy.... T_T 

I went to the Asian beauty store today and bought Laneige Water Sleeping Pack. I know Bubzbeauty used it, and she has sensitive skin. The lady gave me a few samples from the Laneige line as well! Yayyy~

Anyways, I bought this because I have crazy dry skin on areas of my face except for my T-zone, which is oily and acne-prone. The lady at the store told me that this sleeping pack is good for extremely dry skin, and doesn't clog my pores. Phew! I already have hyper-pigmentation and acne scars, so I hope that this won't interfere with my skin from breathing. It's really moisturizing, and has a nice scent - not too strong, not chemical-y, but pleasant smelling hahaha. 

I don't know why, but I've always wanted perfect skin... (^_^;)

Now, on to my diet plan. 

I gained over 20 pounds over that last few years, and never really returned to my previous, comfortable weight. I can't even wear my jeans without suffocating... T^T

I've decided to avoid any sort of junk food, including my favorites: cookies, baked goods, bread, chocolate, candy, potato chips, nutella, AHHH so yummy. If I just avoid processed foods, drink lots of water, and eat mostly protein and vegetables/fruits, I think my skin will get better as well. But I really do love carbohydrates... -_- I'll eat small meals, and not eat any snacks after dinner. 

Hopefully, I can follow this plan, and lose bit by bit every week. Then I can wear shorts in the summer without traumatizing myself! :'D

Saying good-bye to my sources of energy and happiness. D:

Sigh... I really hope that I'll lose those 20 pounds! I seriously traumatized myself when I tried on jean shorts today.. 

'Til next time! 

Pastel Polka Dot Nails!

Hello! (/^▽^)/

I finally had time to do my nails this weekend.. I discovered that I need to brush up on my nail polishing skills lol. Anyways, I loooove pastels. I always wished that I had that perfect, pale, porcelain skin so I could really pull off pastel pinks and yellows. But I guess we gotta make do with what we've been born with. :P

This is my first time polka-dotting too. I never realized how hard it is... T-T Hopefully with practice, I can get better. :D I already wrote down notes on what to do the next time I do this design. 

I tried to use a lot of the colors from my Sinful Colors haul. Next time, I'll use a much lighter, pastel-y pink and purple, even if they're more streaky. All of the formulas were good, except Sugar Rush got really gloopy and thick, and Banana Cream is streaky, but not as bad as some other pastel yellows I've tried. I should have gotten Butter London's Jasper from their Spring collection this year.. T_T

L-R: Sweet Tooth, Sugar Rush, Mint Sorbet, Beautiful Girl, Banana Cream

I think my index finger turned out the best polka-dot wise, don't cha think?

 I can't wait until it's actually spring. :D I have a bunch of things going on at school this week. I hate having to go to school early AND staying afterschool on the same day.. Oh well..

'Til next time!

Mini Ulta Haul

Hello!

More shopping again.. lol T^T I can't believe it's March already though!

I was trying to keep myself from buying any more nail polish.. but it's just too hard to resist.

At least I'm happy with my buys. :D

L-R: Gaga for Green, Miss Fancy Pants, My Vampire is Buff, Goddess

I'm really liking the colors. Gaga for Green was on clearance, Miss Fancy Pants was just one of those colors that I had wanted, My Vampire is Buff is also very pretty, and Goddess was bought on a whim because it was only $2! I feel less bad about buying these because most of them are limited edition. I couldn't decide if I should have bought MVIB by OPI or Jacqueline by Zoya.. Oh well.

Ahh I have to write and memorize my speech by Monday! Wish me luck.. T_T

'Til next time..
