Victoria's Secret Sexy Little Things Noir Tease Body Mist- $25

Hi everyone! It's been a while since I updated. But in that long time, I discovered a new scent for myself, which I absolutely love! Victoria's Secret Sexy Little Things Noir Tease. I am crazy about musk, and was surprised that it didnt contain that, but what it's got  are black vanilla, frozen pear and blooming gardenia. I love how it doesnt smell too fruity or floral. I love how everything blends! I, personally, use this, and this is by far my favorite scent. It smells really flirty, sexy and mysterious. For added staying power, layer with the line's body wash and lotion.

Psst! It comes in cute packaging, too ;)

Let me know what you think

Trick #01

You CAN achieve big, fat lashes with ANY mascara you have. Yes, that’s right, ANY of them. The trick is in the application. Instead of simply running the mascara wand from root to tip, apply the mascara in a zigzag manner. This way, the formula settles on the lashes, making you achieve that volumized look.

Cheap tip # 01

You can use baby oil to substitute for eye make up remover. Personally, I use this to remove my mascara and eye shadow. And when I dont have any on hand, I use petroleum jelly instead :)

New YOU's Resolution

I thought I was done coming up with new year's resolutions a long time ago, but i decided that this 2012 is going to be different...I wanna make myself better! :)

I have read a lot of articles on skincare. A lot say that there is no connection of what you eat or drink to how your skin looks. Just like that chocolates or nuts cause pimples. What's interesting is just a couple of days ago I stumbled upon this article saying that your skin is the reflection of what's going on inside the body, which totally makes sense! I've been breaking out so bad these past few days and realized that I've drinking a lot of sodas and have forgotten that there is something called water. That said, I SHALL DRINK MORE GLASSES OF WATER A DAY. 

And about the breaking out part, you see, I have an extractor in my bathroom. It is really tempting to resist the urge to pop a zit or remove blackheads, actually. So...I SHALL ONLY USE MY EXTRACTOR TO A MINIMUM.

So there you have it. 2 of my New You's Resolutions. It is easier said than done, but it is going to be worth the try. What is YOUR New You's Resolution?

St. Ives Mineral Clay Firming Mask I was really curious about this product because it's got kaolin clay in it. I've heard a lot of wonders kaolin clay does to skin so I decided to give this product a try. So you may be wondering what kaolin clay does. Kaolin clay absorbs excess oil and sucks out toxins from the skin. It also dries up zits and reduces inflammation. Perfect for my skin type! The directions at the back say you should keep it on until it dries for about 10-15 minutes, but I like to have it on for a longer time. Once washed off, I notice that my skin looks refreshed and smooth. It dries up my pimples too, which I am really happy about. As for the firming part, i noticed that my pores became smaller, but not significantly. It is non-comedogenic so you should definitely give it a try. Let me know how it works for you! :)

On BB Cream

I know that BB creams have been around here in Asia for quite sometime now, but I still haven't gotten the courage to try them! I have very sensitive skin and I'm prone to breakouts. Any suggestion on which BB cream you want reviewed? :)
