A NEW REVOLUTION!!


I can't believe that I haven't found this early enough! Do you understand me? How is this possible??

U&A nail polish

You would wonder why I am so hyped up about this nail polish since it really isn't much of a renowned brand, yet when it comes to glitter nail polish there are two things that frustrate me a lot.

1. You just can't seem to ever get a perfectly smooth finish surface, like no matter how fine the glitters are, you just seem to still be able to feel the roughness from the pigments.

2. It takes literally FOREVER to take off! Even though I have already used the soak and rub technique, much force is needed to get rid of the very last glitter left on your nail.



and... this polish SURPRISED me!

Not only does this polish give out the most astonishing shine and shimmer that a lot of glitter nail polish couldn't perform, it also satisfy both of my concerns towards glitter polish. I truly recommend this brand though I only know of one place that sells this in Hong Kong. So if I were you, I would pay great attention to this brand if you are a huge ass fan of glitter polishes yet faces the same problems I do.




Until next time,

Shop happily and wisely!!!

deborah lippmann Around The Universe


These are the three new deborah lippmann nail polish I recently bought (mentioned in my other blog) and I have only tried out the Around The Universe.

呢三支係我近期賣落嘅 deborah lippmann 指甲油(另一個 blog 有提及過)。我暫時只試過 Around The Universe。


One thing I love about this nail polish is that it truly does remind me of the universe. The nail polish basically consists of a translucent blue nail lacquer with small fine royal blue glitter and chunky big teal and true green glitters. It creates a brilliant effect because the nail polish is quite sheer, the more layer you put, the more you cover the first layer of glitter with the nail polish creating the effect of having stars from a far reach and glitter from the top would look really like close stars you can see clearly and brightly. I love the depth it creates. The only problem is that it does take a while to dry.

呢隻指甲油係由一隻透低嘅藍色做低,入面有關於細小嘅寶藍色閃粉同大嘅淺藍色、深綠色嘅閃粉組成。正嘅係,呢隻指甲油個名真係反映倒隻指甲油嘅效果。佢因為係透低嘅,所以都要揸幾層;但係又因為係咁,最低嘅閃粉望落去好似遙遠嘅星星,做倒一個宇宙嘅深度出來。唯一嘅唔好處就係佢都要乾幾奈下。

Twice Lollipop


Not long ago I found this really interesting product in 7-11 I do believe and for lollipop lovers, this is a product you would not want to miss. It is the Twice lollipop. Just like any other lollipop, it is hard candy on a stick, but it is not just ONE blob of candy but TWO!


Quite interesting, is it not? Though you don't actually get twice the product, you do get extra compared to the original version of it. Another good thing about it is that you get to choose which one to have more or less of. But then at the same time the taste of it won't mix really well so if you are the type who would like your candy to taste the same after time then you would want to stay away from this.

For people who wish to try something new and exotic, you HAVE to try this!!!

Face wipes



I forgot when I have started to use face wipes to remove makeup, but one thing I know for sure is that it really saves a lot of time.

I personally love to use water proof makeup, and no matter how much other people say that oil based makeup remover is good and they take out all the makeup you have on your face, to me it never seems to be able to take my mascara off. So I would have to use the eye makeup remover then use the oil based makeup remover. With those makeup remover, they would also tell you that you don't have to wash your face again after using it, but to me it seems like there is still always something on my skin that isn't cleaned off properly and I ending up washing my face once more. But by having the makeup remover wipes, I won't have to wash my face twice. I would still recommend you to wash your face after that, the wipes can only take your makeup off, but a full face cleansing is always beneficial to your skin.

I have only started for quite a while honestly so I haven't tried a whole lot of different types of makeup removing wipes. But personally I really like Comodynes Convenient Cosmetics' makeup remover wipes and the biggest reason is because it has a large range of choices for different skin types, which is unlike other brands. I am not sure where you can get it outside Hong Kong, but if you are in America, the e.l.f. face wipes are good too.

I have tried two different wipes for different skin types and it really does have a huge difference. First they smell different, I know this might now be as significant to a lot of you, but I do believe in aroma therapy and I tend to use products that has a pleasing scent. And secondly, I do believe the amount of alcohol in it is different, the one for normal skin has more compared to the combination skin. The formula is made for a particular skin type so it would be beneficial if you get the one that fits your own skin type.

Revlon Top Speed Nail polish

Not a long while ago I came across the Revlon Top Speed Nail Polish that was sold in Watsons. It is more expensive than a regular Revlon nail polish and I didn't really want to pick one up, but then I saw that they had an amazing grey color so I decided to give it a try. Long story short, it was a whole new experience.


I have always been a Revlon nail polish lover because they have nice nail polish with good consistency but they don't really have such a variety of colors to choose from, but then the Top Speed line has a huge variety of colors in it. Also a lot of them are cream based, one thing that I love about these nail polishes is that because they are cream based and very opaque by having it in a quick dry formula, it really helps dry the coats of nail polish that you put on. It really helps decrease the time on both the colour pigmentation as well as the time taken for it to dry. If you are up to pay just a little bit more than drug store nail polish, then I have to say that the Revlon Top Speed Nail Polish is worthy of the price and you would be really satisfied with the outcome of it.

nanoblock

I know that this isn't something I would usually review on but I think I have grown into another addiction and that is building things.
This is actually something I wished to buy for a very long time but never actually had the chance to buy it cos I have always thought that it was way too over priced, but on the trip to Macau I sort of went on a shopping mode and bought it for the sake of buying it. And I have to say the purchase was worth it.
Nanoblock is just miniature sized lego which you can use to build animals mostly I do believe. And you can keep it as a decoration at home. It took me a while to choose and at the end I chose to buy the clown fish.


Well you can see above the package comes with mini lego pieces and instructions, I have to say that at first the instructions would look quite intimidating but then as time goes by you would find it really easy to understand.


Aren't they just so cute??
