The 7 Deadly Sins of Beauty Tag - Blog Edition

Hi Dolls!

Here I am, back again with another post for all of you. I'm going to be doing The Seven Deadly Sins of Beauty tag today. But instead of do a video out of this, I'm going to be a blog version of it instead. ^^

I'm am expecting this post to be quite a long one so let's get into it!

1. GREED - What is your most inexpensive beauty item? What is your most expensive?

My most inexpensive beauty item will forever be my Berry M "Super Shiny Lip Gloss" trio.

The Reason why I say this trio will forever be my most inexpensive beauty item? I got it free from a magazine that I bought quite a while ago lol! As you can see from the picture above, the hot pink gloss has been wiped  clean of its wordings - goes to show how often I use that colour on a day to day basis. The pigmentation of these lip glosses are actually quite good, and true to what's in the bottle. I'm not too sure if they are still available so I shan't talk too much about them. (:

As for my most expensive beauty product, it is my Revlon PhotoReady compact.

I don't know about how much this sells in other countries, but from where I'm from - this foundation costs up to $30++ in the drug store. I managed to snag it when it was on offer and I LOVE THIS FOUNDATION. It lives up to its "PhotoReady" name and really makes me look almost flawless on camera. The only regret that I have with this foundation is that its too light for my skin tone now. I've kinda tanned in the summers months so I went a shade darker, do hope to be able to use it again if I ever lighten up.

2. WRATH - What beauty products do you have a love/hate relationship with? 

Pretty simple answer really, its just one word -

B.B. CREAMS.

This is my ultimate go-to lazy days product - its a sunblock, concealer, foundation, moisturizer, brightener and all other possible things into one. However, my only gripe with this particular group of products is that again, the creams are too light for my skin. This is especially true for the Etude House one on the right, it just makes me look like the white rabbit in Alice in Wonderland. The colour of the B.B. cream is slightly darker for the Maybelline one on the left so I do wear it from time to time. 

3. GLUTTONY - What are your most delicious beauty products?

This is also pretty simple, its my Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula with Vitamin E Concentrated Cream.

Gosh that's one long name for a cream. 0.0

But then again, this cream just smells of chocolate! If you are a chocolate lover like me, then this is the ultimate chocolate-related product for you. And since this is a concentrated cream, a little sort of goes a long way as well. Another bonus point for being able to be used in various dry areas like hands, knees, etc. But I prefer using it on my legs as they tend to get really dry as well.

4. SLOTH - What beauty product do you neglect, due to laziness?

Okay, I named this product before on my Top 5 Summer Must Haves Video - its the sunblock.

Now I did use it religiously at first, but then I just got lazier as the summer progressed. I do know that sunblock is important for since it protects me from the UVA and UVB rays, so I'm trying to get back into the routine again. ^^ 

5. PRIDE - What beauty product gives you the most self confidence?

It's my Maybelline Mineral concealer!

This concealer is really awesome cause its coverage is good enough for me to hide my dark eye circles which seems to be forever on my face. If I want to hide my spots however, I need a just a little more on the doe-foot applicator to fully cover it up. Totally help that this concealer is mineral-based, it's pretty good for the skin then huh? ^^

6. LUST - What attributes do you find most attractive in the opposite sex?

Well, to be frank - I am not too sure what I find most attractive in the opposite sex since, I admit, I have really high expectations on what I look for in a guy in the first place (I would like to blame my love of Kpop for this). But some attributes that I would look for include being kind, understanding, caring, funny as well as not being clingy. Yea, the last one seems a little weird but for the guy I'm dating in the future - he needs to understand first and foremost that I am an independent woman. I don't do call and texts often, am often busy with school, enjoy being alone sometimes, etc. so if he expects me to reply/go out with him often - I'm gonna feel really restricted which is something that I absolutely HATE.

Okay, let's stop the ranting there and move on to the next question shall we? (:

7. ENVY - What items would you most like to receive as a gift?
There is one thing that I would love to receive as a gift, the YSL Rouge Volupte in Shade No. 1 Nude Beige and No. 2 Sensual Silk. Both shades are actually somewhat similar to each other in terms of being nudes but I just can't decide which one to have since both are equally beautiful! It also has spf 15 in its formula so I know that my lips are always protected from the sun whenever I reapply it outside. (:

So that's it from my super long post on the 7 Deadly Sins of Beauty Tag! Hope all of you enjoyed it and I tag all of you to do it too!

With lotsa love,

Ever so relatable...

Updates Again!

Hi Dolls!

So many things have been happening in school that I barely have enough time to blog anymore. From doing up a portfolio to acting in a video to attending rehearsals for the school musical, the amount of work that I have to do keeps piling up by the minute. Doesn't really help that I have barely started on any of the assignments that I have to hand up in a week's time too...

But this isn't a place for me to talk about these things, it's a fashion and beauty blog! So talking about something in relevance to this blog, I finally got my gelish nails removed today!

And I must say, I am really impressed with them!

They lasted for almost three weeks without chipping and were still as glossy as ever. The removal process was quite simple too - my manicurist filed my nails to roughen then up before placing a cotton pad soaked in gelish polish remover on the nail and wrapped it up in a small square of aluminium foil. After a few minutes she then scraped off the "wet" polish, leaving behind a completely clean nail. And if there was something else that I noticed as well, it was that my nails looked strangely whiter after scrapping - this I assumed was a result of the manicurist crapping off the stained nail layers along with the polish in the removal process (I had slightly stained nails when I did gelish due to me frequently applying polish). She then took a buffer to buff my nails before finishing off with cuticle oil. The total time taken for them to remove the gelish took no more then 20 minutes I believe, around 10 to 15 minutes in fact.

Paying $28 for a nail polish that lasts up to a month max with little to no chipping and constant glossy shine was the best decision that I have ever made. I'm so going to do gelish again, once I have let my nails have a breather of air that is. XD

Something else that I have discovered today was the makeup brand essence, AND THE PRICES WERE DARN CHEEP!! 


Sorry for the caps but that was the best way I could express myself when I saw the prices at a local drug store I was at today. $7.20 for a volumising mascara, roughly $2.30 for a nail polish? I'm all up for paying such prices for makeup products! They are far cheaper then makeup sold by a local makeup brand whose stand was right next to it! As for how good the products are, I'm not too sure but even if I were to not really like them after trying it out - at least my heart would not ache so since the prices were really affordable! I am totally going back to that drugstore to purchase essence the next time I visit it, really regretted walking away empty handed today!

 Well, looking back on the post - I guess I have babbled quite a bit so I shall stop here for now. hopefully the next time I talk to all of you will be soon!

With lotsa love,
