Nails Inc's Gel Effect polishes are quick and fast drying with amazing colour payoff. I'm spending the Summer in Ottawa with my boyfriend and one thing I forgot to bring were nail art tools, so I decided to try and create some looks without them. I created a Pink Collar Look using Mayfair, a light muted pink. This polish required two coats and didn't come out streaky at all, something that I often find with...
This may seem like a weird topic, but at 25 years old, I survived my first sun burn. I know people get sun burns everyday, but it was just one of those things I never thought would happen to me. It's not because I take good measures to prevent it, but I always thought: Pfft, I'm Asian, we don't burn. I've gone back to my homeland and have worked outdoors in the summers (Wonderland, anyone?)...
Up until last year, I didn't know much about Clean fragrances. I would see them in Sephora with their minimalist packaging and unique names like "Skin" and "Air", but didn't really stop to sample their scents. I know, I know, I shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, but I basically have ADD when I walk into Sephora - I CAN'T HELP IT, THERE'S SO MANY SPARKLY AND SHINY THINGS! Now, one of their fragrances...
Wet n Wild's Lash Renegade Mascara ($7.99) was released earlier this year and hands down, it's my new favourite mascara. This mascara is formulated to provide volume, length, definition and curl to your lashes. I have short, straight lashes and seldom curl them, but this mascara definitely adds length and definition to my lashes. What makes this mascara my new favourite is that it claims to be smudge proof, ophthalmologist tested and safe for contact...

As part of their Spring/Summer 2017 Collection, Essence launched a new line of Matt Matt Matt Lipstick. As you've probably guess by the name, it's a line of matte lipsticks and are available in 8 shades. The below swatches are in order according to it's number (ie. 01 Natural Kiss, 08 It's a Statement). These lipsticks are pretty pigmented and don't dry completely matte. The finish is more like a glossy matte, which I prefer because it...
Every season Essence releases some new shades in their gel nail polish line. I got to try some new pinks that have been added. These shades just about scream Spring and Summer and bring a bright yet subtle pop of colour. I'm wearing 75 Perfect Match, a lovely salmon pink that just so happens to match this season's Rock n Doll mascara tube. On my accent nail, I'm wearing 86 My Sparkling Darling, a pink...
