This week I decided to go with neon orange nails using Holika Holika's Neon Beam Nails in 03 Orange Mood (received in Memebox) and Rainbow Honey's Hoof Wrassle (received in Wantable). Holika Holika's formula goes on smoothly - the first layer dries a bit matte, but with a second layer added, it becomes shiny. Rainbow Honey's formula is just amazing - there's orange micro glitter that gives the polish colour, and the large glitter that...
HAIR - Vidal Sassoon's London Lilac

Color Club's In Theory ($8) is a bright and beautiful coral that's perfect for Summer. I find the formula to be a bit streaky, so it needs 2-3 coats for an even and smooth application - I applied 2 coats, 1 thin and 1 thick. Thick coats of polish take forever to dry, but it dried pretty fast - no dent marks, yay! I couldn't decide what to do with my accent nail, so I...

The Bellabe is a long thing spring with handles. It works by trapping hairs between the coils and plucks the...
SKINCARE - Skyn Iceland Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels
July 07, 2015 / BY Maria - Pink Petals
Skyn Iceland’s Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels with Hexapeptide Technology ($33 for 8 pairs) claim to firm, tone bright reduce the appearance of puffiness and wrinkles on the under-eye skin within ten minutes. I just want to start off by saying that I don’t have prominent wrinkles or dark circles under my eyes. My under-eye skin is a bit darker in the inner third, but that’s about it. So that eliminates the claims of brightening...

It’s designed to recreate the repairing benefits of deep sleep for ideal skin quality from the very first morning. Both products are paraben-free and hypoallergenic and suitable for all skin types. The Skin Sleep is a bit thicker than cream and has a light floral scent. My skin...
