My new IRON FIST shoes!

I love my Iron Fist flats, especially the "sugar rimmed" turquoise ones. They are super comfy. The flower ones fit a bit tighter even though they are the same size. I love the shoes from this brand, they are fun and colorful. "Made with love for a heartless world" written on each box. I don't remember the last time I felt so excited about shoes. Purchasing them gave me a bigger "high" than mac makeup.



Sugar Frosted Turquoise/black Flats - My fav of all their flats I seen.



I love the zebra pattern on the paper.



On my wishlist are these:

I love the eyeball buckle.





These are cute too, what do you think?

I love marine life powder and thrills!! I felt very beachy today even though I just went to class. I was skeptical of thrills lipstick looking orange or too warm on me as I am cool-toned but it doesn't. I love the golden sheen in it visible in outside light.

I Used:
BE Powder
MUFE lift concealer
UD Mildew all over lid with sweet and punchy above crease and inner lid
Sweet & Punchy shadow on inner lid
Solar white to highlight
Marine Life Powder on cheeks
Thrills lipstick



Don't mind my half-naked boyfriend in the back. haha

MAC To The Beach Collection Review




I went to MAC To The Beach Preview Party with my little sister and it was very fun! I thought it would be overcrowded which would make me want to get my stuff and leave very soon but it wasn't at all. I was in the third group at 8pm. I had lots of fun swatching everything (multiple times) and took my time deciding what I want. (It's a complex process).

The watered down pineapple cocktail and appetizers weren't very good but that's not what I came for anyways. I took one appetizer without listening to what the man had said it was(I never listen) and it turned out to have avocado and Brussels sprouts inside ewwww. I didn't want to be rude and throw it out so I just ate it. I should have thought more about the mans look on his face when I picked it up which clearly read "Are you really accepting my offer?".

There were 2 guys in tight orange beach shorts making necklaces and my sister stole mine so I didn't have a pic to post. They look exactly the same as other peoples necklaces so they were prolly taught guidelines in making them even thought the guy said he made it just for us. haha

I love anything beachy (being a Pisces) and To the Beach is a nice collection but most of it, I felt, was very dupable. The things that stood out to me were the things I bought (duh):

Marine Life Powder: When I first came I panicked that it was sold-out because I didn't see it n the display but no it wasn't. When I saw the tester, all the gold overspray was allready gone and when I brought it home and touched a tiny part on the seahorse(You can see in the pics) it came off so easily. Good thing the color underneath is what I bought it for. I just love how bright it is! The brighter the better as with proper application it make you look very refreshed.



Sweet & Punchy e/s: Love this! I was worried this was to similar to the Too Faced Lucky Charms Duo but it is way more yellow. I don't have rater R or other similar colors I am very happy with it. I also love the Veluxe Pearl finish. This color would even be very pretty with neutral colors like Satin Taupe and not just other greens/teals.

I also loved the packaging much more in person! I think the sea-shell look really cute.





Thrills l/s: I am cool-toned and very fair but this doesn't look orange on me or anything. I don't really know how to describe it, but I think I would put it in the coral category. I wouldn't really say it is pink or rose colored. This looks much prettier outside in the sun where the golden duochrome is more apparent.


Not part of this collection, I also got the Superglass in Fab Frenzy. I had no interest in even looking at them but when I saw it beside the To The Beach tester, I fell in love with all the pretty sparkles. It doesn't look purple on the lips, it's more plum with violet glitter. It reminds me of a sultry mermaid color. haha.

EDIT: After wearing this gloss a few times, I came to a conclusion that I don't like it. It's not as sparkly as it looks in the tube and too goopy/sticky. Heavier than lipglasses. The smell is not very noticable but doesn't have MAC's vanilla scent like in the dazzleglasses/lipglasses etc. The chunky glitter feels gritty and scratchy if you rub your lips together.

Other stuff from the collection I looked at but didn't get:

Funbathing lipstick: I was going to get this but it really disappointed me in person. It looked brown instead of the pretty plum I saw in swatches. I also didn't see any duochrome in it that was supposed to be there. I tried it on to be sure, and nope I didn't like it one bit.

Lazy Day l/s: This was pigmented and creamy but the color is not unique by any means. I feel like MAC always releases this shade.

EDIT: I got this when I exchanged my superglass and I love it. I think this would look best on cool toned people. When I tried it on my lips, I realized I don't have a pink like it. It's a very creamy natural looking pale pink on me.

Fluerry of Fun l/g: This had a peachy/orange base with green glitter. I wasn't wowed by it or thought that I must have this. It's prolly a nice gloss for people who like peach glosses (I don't really), but I didn't find it unique at all with all the dazzleglasses Ive seen. I was turned off by the orange color in it.

Beachbound: Very sheer and the color that does show up is mostly frost. It's a glaze so I am not surprised.

Bronzing oil: This didn't feel oily at all or sticky after being rubbed in. However, it didn't leave any color or made the skin look shiny which is what I wanted. It left a big concentration of glitter which was not finely milled by my standards. I have a self tanner by Dior which also contains sparkles and they are way more smaller, yet still quite visible. The bronzing oil didn't have any particular smell. Personally, I would prefer a nice light smell.

Float-on by Kohl Pencil: This was very pretty and creamy, but on the lids it prolly doesn't look much different from other teal liners I have. How many teal liners does one need? I hope I don't get weak-kneed and get this when this collection releases.

EDIT: This is similar color to UD Flipside liner except that Float is more blue and slightly darker. I tested the smudge factor on both liners and Float was definately more easier to smudge.

Bronzers: Didn't pay attention to these because I rarely wear bronzer and one bronzer from the too faced beach palette is all I need. What I hate about cream products though is that hairs always get stuck in it.

Make-up look Coming soon! ;P

I love Tulips Make-up Look

I love Tulips!

I haven't used my "Most Popular" lipstick from the MAC Hello Kitty collection for a long time so I thought Id give it some love. I rarely wear dark lipstick but I do love wearing it. I added some loreal sparkly glam shine gloss in "seductress" on top for an extra shine. It's been sunny lately so it makes me giddy as I am solar-powered. ;P

Pop Beauty Petal Jam Lip Balm Review & Tarina Tarantino Skull Bracelet

I got a Tarina Tarantino skull bracelet and I love it alot! I still think it is overpriced for what it is but it's really cute and I love how the pink eyes glow/sparkle in the evening. It's comfortable and fits my tiny wrist perfectly.





On to the lip balm by Pop Beauty in "Budding Berry". It resembles jam in a jar which appeals to me as I like the idea of jam on my lips haha. It smells jammy/candyish too. I found the smell kinda annoyingly sweet in the store but at home it's very nice. It's clear, shiny, and mousturizing on lips. It looks like I am wearing clear lipgloss. It also tastes sweet and I like how the smell lingers for a while while on your lips. It contains Avocado Oil, Jojoba Oil, and Vitamin E and it says you can also use it on cuticles and elbows, although I intend on using it mostly on my lips.

Budding Berry the only balm out of the three that actually looks/smells like jam in the pot.



The screw on top took alot of force for me to open and right away and you see a chunky/fluffy texture that looks edible. You don't have to scrape the top to get it out as you do with alot of balms. The other lighter pink jam texture was alot more hard so it took more force to get it out.

I love the Beach!

I went to the beach and my sister to the Lost Lagoon here in Vancouver and took a bunch of pics. The ocean looked dreamy. It was fun being in nature, wish I had more time to do it.

I love the beach ♥ ♥ ♥


I wore the new Undercurrent pearlglide liner. I love it! Such a pretty teal with gold sparkles. I wore birds & berries and prim & proper with shell pearl again! haha I can't seem to stop wearing this combo.

Nibbler Photos + Tokidoki Kabuki Review


Usually I love shooting my bird Bluey because she's very comfortable in front of the camera. Nibbler is getting used to the camera still but I managed to get a really good headshot. My other bird Princey is crazy! He was running back and forth on the window sill like he was going to get shot. We names him Nibbler because he kept nibbling on all these papers and my fingers when we brought him home.


Nibbler looking Smug. hehe


Tokidoki Face Brush! I got 2 for myself and my friends b-day.



I wasn't excited about this collection coming out in Sephora or anything. The design and packaging doesn't appeal to me but I did really like this face brush. Somehow, I keep eyeing kabukis lately. Perhaps because I am too lazy to clean my face brushes so I want to buy new ones! haha I know it's ridiculous. The brush is very soft on your face and you got to love the purple tips although I am not sure how the color will hold up after a few washings. It didn't shed at all when I used it. The brush is pretty big and I think it would be best for all over face powders or bronzers as it doesn't deposit too much color right away. It's not tightly packed together like the MAC #182 or the MUFE kabuki so it deposits colour sparingly and kind of takes up your whole face. It wouldn't be good for applying blush but you can blend the blush out. The other stuff from the collection looked kinda cheap and kiddie like. The characters are cute. However, I didn't like the packaging at all for the other stuff especially for the eye-shadows which very very big and the colors weren't anything unique. I swatched some pencils and they didn't glide on very smoothly. I was in a rush to my friends b-day so I didn't have time to test out the other stuff.


Nibbler trying to bite my camera. hehe
