NOTW - The One That Got Away

I usually change my nail color weekly unless I get lazy or want to give them a break.

I also love using new polishes that I just got, just because I want to break open the bottle and un-virginize it... lol

This color came out with the Katy Perry collection, the one where everyone was raving about because of the Black Shatter.

I fairly like this color. It looks really bright on my fair hands. The One That Got Away is a bold deep fuchsia shade with flecks of shimmer in them.

Oh, if you're wondering what's going on with my ring finger nail. Well, I tried using Black Shatter in hopes that it would turn out nice. But, it got messed up and being the lazy person that I am I end up putting a coat of Teenage Dream over it. Actually looks quite pleasing after so many different layers of polish.

Eye Makeup-Less

For the past entire week, I had nothing on my eyes. It was surprising to know that I lasted a week without any eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara. It was weird but it actually felt really relaxing and free. It's nice to know that I don't have to come home and use my eye makeup remover before I wash my face.

Here's what I've been using for the past week -

A lot of face products.
Even though I don't use eye makeup, I still want to hide dark circles and redness around my face. So, the steps I've been taking each morning has been --
1) Right after I cleanse my face in the morning, I apply the Avon Anew Rejunvenate Concentrate
2) Then I go in with the Avon Retroactive Youth Extending Day Cream all over the face
3) After the cream is absorbed, I apply the Shisheido sunscreen all over the face
4) Then, I use the Bobbi Brown concealer to conceal my dark circles and redness on any areas on my face
5) After that, I use the Lancome face powder to set the concealer in
6) For the brows, I use ELF to shape and fill in my brows
7) For some color on the face, I like to use my Jane blush
8) Last but not least, apply a lip balm!

It's so simple but yet I feel like it takes forever for me to apply all these products. I think I'm going to go back to applying eyeliner and mascara tomorrow. But it sure does feel nice to let your eyes take a break after a while. I feel like my lashes even got longer and thicker.

Have you ever try going a week without eye makeup or just makeup?

Splitter for Two

I recently found these earphone splitters on Fred Flare website and thought they were just super cute. I usually shared music with the bf and it's annoying to be able to only listen to it in one ear.

Like, when we go on a trip and we're sitting on the plane or the bus for a really long time I like the feeling of both my ears being filled with music and not just one - might be weird but it's true! Do you feel that way?

And sometimes, lets say that I have the side with the normal earphones while he get the one with the low volume one and he turns on the volume even higher, that means my ears are going to be blown off! So, the best solution - getting the splitter. I've been looking long and hard for this and voila, I landed on such a cute one.

 I find it funny when a small product like this gets mushed into a big box. And I have to go through layers of popcorn foams to be able to get my hands on it.

I think it's so adorable.

And I don't have to worry about losing the body since it's attached to the head with a string. A lot of my friends says it looks like Wall-E, do you think so? I never even saw that movie.

Have a lovely weekend beauties,
