Silk Naturals ☆ Blush Swatches

left-right: Pretty Plum, Wish You Were Here, Petal (swiped 2/3 times)

Yikes, loose powder blushes!
Honestly, I'm not sure why I decided to buy these... probably because I was
extremely attracted to the swatches on their website. Seriously... do these not
look beautiful to you? I have 5 more of their sample blushes and I don't think
I'm going to review/post about them unless you want to see swatches.

I really love these... if only they sold them in a pressed powder form ><
I know I can probably press it myself, but knowing how I am, I won't be
arsed to do it, because I'm just that lazy :p

Pretty Plum is really pretty!!! It's the perfect mauve-y blush shade I have
been searching for. It's softer in person and not too dark.

Wish You Were Here is a nice coral shade which is very pretty :)

Petal is a very light petal/blossom pink shade and shows up quite light
on my cheeks, but it gives me a light/fresh look.

Positive Notes
☆ very pigmented
☆ smooth texture
☆ lasts almost all day
☆ beautiful colour selection (some are dupes for MAC blushes)

Other Notes
☆ the darker colours are very pigmented so you have to use a light hand
☆ loose powder form = messy
☆ not very travel friendly

Price
☆ $1.25 (sample)
☆ $6.50 (10gram jar)

Purchase them here if you're interested!

Here are some flash photos for you :)

I made my first order from Silk Naturals yesterday,
so I'm very excited to show you guys what I picked out! :D
I bought a bunch of blush samples and 2 amplified lip glazes! :p

AND I have a question for those of you who order from iherb.com!
How long does shipping usually take for you?

Just wanted to share some bits and pieces from the past week or so :p
and a lovely watch Ric gave me for my birthday <3 am="am" i="i" it="it" p="p" picky="picky" super="super" when="when">comes to watches, they have to have a thin band, so kudos to him for 'accidentally'
finding one :p I really like it :D my old one was coming apart :(
(do you guys see the messed up coding above? ^ I can't fix it)

I bought these cute earrings from eBay (seller rubyruby76)
The 'kiss' piece goes under the earlobe so it looks like it's sitting under the earlobe by itself :p

and yay for the new H&M magazine :)

one year older

So, it was my birthday yesterday :D
I went shopping with one of my close friends and found some good deals :p
Tops (left to right):
- Old Navy
- H&M
- Suzy Shier
 They were all in the sale section :)

I also picked up a few pairs of earrings from Forever21... I just couldn't put
them down because they're too pretty >< especially the 2nd pair below <3>



I also picked up 2 mini candles from Bath & Body Works.
I bought the new Autumn and Autumn Day candle.
I like the Autumn Day candle more... I should have gotten a pumpkin
scented candle instead of the Autumn one. I still like it though, but I
guess I should have went with something a bit different in terms of scents :p

This weeks lovely design is inspired by the scarf on the right taken from Zipia.net :p
I originally wanted to use a pastel green for the leaves, but because I couldn't find the
right shade of grey, the pastel green didn't show up as well as I had thought ><

I still really love this design :D hope you guys do too :)

Long time no see :)

Well, hello there...
I haven't been posting for quite a while because I'm just simply too lazy... have been letting
my poor finger rest (as you can see the huge white bandage on my left hand). No, I did not
hurt myself >> I had this harmless tumour in my ring finger for about 2 years now and it started
to slowly grow bigger (stayed the same for 1.5 years). It's still pretty small, but I was referred to
a hand surgeon. He decided to take it out and send it to a lab to find out what it is exactly. I'm
supposed to go take out the stitches on Wednesday so wish me luck! :)

No one seems to know the cause of it, but it was outside of the bone and behind the skin :\

I'll be attending the America's Next Top Model Live event tomorrow!
Not sure what it's all about because I think this is the first time they've had it?
I could be wrong... but never really heard of it in the past years =\ hmm

It's extremely hot this week >< 25-30 degrees!? wth -.-
The weather is seriously messed up in Toronto! :(

Because of the sudden hot weather here and there, so many people are sick
with seasonal allergies >< I went to an Asian doctor yesterday morning, and
he gave me some herbs/teas to drink. It has helped quite a bit :) yay

Super random but I am craving for a grilled salmon and avocado burger -.-

Not much to post at the moment >< I will share more later :p I have been working and being
infested with allergies :( I've had my cough for about a month now and I'm really hoping that
it will go away by next week ><

pistachio green!

or avocado green! what shade of green is this to you? :)
I love eating pistachio's or avocado's so I'm fine with both really :p
actually, this colour reminds me of green tea/matcha powder too >>

I am loving this colour at the moment and have been searching for
this shade of green for the past 2 weeks :p find out the colour below

I was recently nominated for the 'Versatile Blogger Award' from the
lovely Donna at My Sweet Milk Tea :) I have been nominated for other
awards too >< I should really do them. I'm just too lazy -.-
I'm sorry guys, I'll do them over the summer! lol

Frosted Flakes...

No, I'm not talking about the cereal :p This design made me come up with that name :)
It has been snowing quite a bit where I live, which was nice until it got all slushy and grey.

and this is what I have been doing the past week :p
I decided to try the Mixed Berry oatmeal... tastes alright :p
I still prefer the maple & brown sugar, as well as the apple cinnamon more :)

I've also been eating quite a bit of popcorn since Ric decided to visit for 2 weeks.
We try to only eat it when watching Once Upon a Time or a movie :)
We saw 'In Time' starring Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried,
earlier today and was pretty good :) not a very long movie either.


and Happy Family day!
I went out earlier today with my family and Ric for High Tea :)
My dad wasn't happy with the service though ><

Iris Dust

I'm always up for unique nail colours, so when I stumbled upon Nubar's 'Iris Dust', I had to try it :)
Sorry for the uneven coats on the thumb and ring finger >< had a little 'accident' >>

Base: Sally Hansen Green Tea & Olive base coat
Colour: Nubar 'Iris Dust' (3 coats, as it's quite sheer)

Golden Spectacle

I recently bought a few items with a friend from Zipia.net :)
I'm wearing the skirt and starfish earrings :D
I also bought a yellow cardigan, but that will make its appearance some other day :)

I paired it with a faux snake skin belt because the skirt was a bit too big for me ><
I think it goes well with the belt :) and I am loving the texture!
I'm selling the earrings on the right... just thought I would post a photo of them because
they look beautiful on their own :) They're a bit big in size, about 2.5cm wide.

I decided to do a simple design this week, I wasn't really inspired by anything.
I have a nice idea for next week's design though :D

I just came home from a family dinner. It was to celebrate my aunt's birthday
and Chinese New Year's at the same time. One of my cousin's gave me this
adorable 'red pocket', with the little ears peeking up from the envelope XD

I've been addicted to this song recently :)

Sensual Lace

Base: Sally Hansen Green Tea & Olive Base coat

I have to say... Nubar has been my favourite nail polish brand, in
terms of consistency and choice of colours for the past year!
