Product Love: Tea Time!

Image from coy-dreamer.com

This new love is for sure! As you can see, I've been absent for quite a while now. All I have to say, is I discovered it, the one! And the best part is we both love tea! Well I love tea and it's just made from Tea.

This soft and soothing face cleanser is from Skin Food, a korean brand, finally brought to my town. A small pea-size squeeze is just enough to cleanse you face with. A lift more and you can get your neck too! While washing, it foams and after washing all of it off your face will feel fresh. I guarantee it. I use this about two or three times a day really depends whether I wear make-up/cosmetics that day. My skin has a tendency to get oily throughout the day so this cleanser really helps keep it under control without overdoing it on the wash and scrub.

Overall, heart throb! I just can't get enough baby.

Nail Tutorial

Inspired from Pixar's newest creation, Brave, I just could not resist to paint on those cute little bears onto my nails! Now I can go around town sharing my love and sass for Pixar and cute bears. This is a very easy and fun look to achieve. Its a great way to add a little playfulness and fun to your look!

Missing In Action!

Appune is M.I.A.

Sorry for disappearing for a couple of days!

I've been a little tied up with taking care of my nephew on Friday and Saturday and then surprising him for his birthday on Sunday! Just to let you know, he turned five. ahaha such a good age to be a kid.

Anyways, best thing besides spending a lot of time with my nephew is... I watched Brave! And it is so wonderful! Such a good mother-daughter movie. I wanted to cry my eyes out, but had to keep it together for my nephew and younger cousins. Plus, I couldn't be a blubbering mess while driving back. 

However, I do have to say that the La Luna short before the movie is absolutely stunning. Pixar, you've done it again!

Product Love Story: Goin' Bare

Mask. Unveiled. 

Brushes. Brush out.

Waterproof. So done.

Its time to rock what mother nature gave you and go bare. 

From Bare Escentuals's Bare Mineral line, I introduce to you, my new lover, Vintage Peach mineral blush. 

This blush is very easy to use. By using a blush brush or even your fingers, the power will spread evenly on your cheeks to give you that nice light flowery glow. The type of glow that I love :)

 There are two plus sides, well actually three, to this product.

    1. If you like glitter like I do, the blush has a small amount of glitter/sparkles inside the power to really give you a pop during the day without over doing the look.

    2. Because its a powder form, I also sometimes use this as an eyeshadow. It helps toning down bright colors.

   3. Its a NATURAL glow, so it won't be obvious that you've applied a blush to your cheeks. So people and you yourself will notice you and not the makeup.

However! There is a downside. This blush is a little bit on the pricey side. It is about $17-$19 for this product, depending whether the price went up or not. But I personally do believe that it is worth it! Its really about how it makes you feel when you wear it. After putting on this baby, I just can't help but feel all giddy and happy that not only do I glitter and glow, but it really shows that I am happy!

Finger Actitivites: Getting Fishy

I absolutely love FISH. I just can't help it!
Fish, water, ocean, beach. Doesn't this just scream summer?

I am loving this nails too! So fun to wear, though it is just a little bit more difficult to coordinate with my clothes, Oh well! Worth the trouble!

P.S. a tip, because there was so much going on with my nails, I didn't want to overwhelm my hand with lots of jewelry and color so I went with something a little more organic colored, like brown ;)

Want to know how to create this look?

Finger Activities

How I'm going to rock my 4th of July.

With the patriotic colors, I decided to add a little shabam and pair the nail with the gold-spiked bracelet and a simple designed stretch ring on my middle finger. To check out how to do the nails, here's the tutorial! :)

Nail Tutorial: Getting it out there!

Hi! So I know that this is still a little of the schedule I had planned out but it still counts as a nail tutorial!

So I've been interning for BeautyBender so far and I must say they are absolutely wonderful! Very enthusiastic people who love what they are doing! And I feel very lucky and proud to say that my nail tutorial is featured on their website! Yes, yes!

Here is a screenshot of almost the whole thing, I'll link you guys to the website for you all to see!

Its's called Stars and Stripes Nail Tutorial and this is the very first time I ever made a photo tutorial. Its a lot longer to make than a video tutorial. Usually the hardest part in editing a video is the music choice (my opinion since I have very bad taste in music).  However, I was very FRUSTRATED photographing and then designing the layout! You had no idea. But then it all clicked and worked out wonderfully! I am very pleased with the final product. Very pleased indeed.

Official Line Up

Still testing things out a little on this new layout, but I've come up with the future line up.

Monday will feature a Good Morning Weather section. You all will understand the reason for the title after an article is written.

Tuesday will be a Product Love Story. Moving on...

Wednesday will feature a Diary Section/Art Update

Thursday, on of my favorite days, is the preview to the upcoming nail tutorial.

Friday, another Product Love Story + Mischievous Moments, and the Official Nail Tutorial

Saturday is ... Finger Activities. Don't judge me! You also will understand the reason for the title once an article has been put up!

Last is Sunday! Will be a Taking a Break Section. 

So I hope that you readers are excited for this line up! I definitely am! Hurrah for summer opening new doors!
