OMG These are MUST HAVES!!
This time, when I say must have. I mean you actually really need to get them cos COME ON!!! It is Chanel Nail Polish!
They are the new 2011 colour.
Just look at them! It is just 3 colours by the way.
Beige color one: Beige Petale
Pink shimmer one: Morning Rose
Cream yellow one: Mimosa
I have seen swatches of all of them and I have to say that they are my favourite colours of all timeI mean seriously, that is first the best beige you can ever find, a very nude colour yet not too pale and white, the pink is a very pretty rose pink with a small hint of glitter in it which makes it shimmer a bit more in the sun, and last but not least the yellow - OMG this yellow is so opaque to an extent that it is not funny at all! I am totally in love with it because it is everything I personally like, even the brand :D

Nails of the week - PASTEL!
Even though pastel is not so much in trend this year, I always feel like around Easter time, you would need a bit of fun and candy colours in life, therefore I have painted my nails in different pastel colours [Yes I am very indecisive and yes that is why I used all these colours, I would honestly need like 9 fingers to use all the pastel colours that I own].
One most important thing that a good pastel nail polish is to have an opaque formula. These nail polishes are quite opaque and I am very happy with its consistency, information of the nail polishes would be stated below.
From right to left:
1. TONY MOLY ND03 - this is a korean brand and I have only seen it in the Causeway Bay mannings in Heng Lung, they are $30 each. They have a very limited choice of colours but all I managed to get 4 out of the 12 colours?
2. OPI Shrek Forever After NL B90 What's with the Cattitude? - you can get this in a few different mannings in Hong Kong, or a quite a few cosmetics retailer.
3. OPI Shrek Forever After NL B94 Fiercely Fiona - same with the No. 2, I actually got this as a set, so that is why mine are tiny, they are all around 3.5 mL
4. OPI Shrek Forever After NL B91 Rumple's Wiggin' - if you are wondering, you can get the 15mL regular sized ones at mannings for $132 and for retailers in Causeway Bay or Mong Kok would be around $65-$80
5. GOSH 597 Miss Minty - I have talked about this one in a previous post. Link ->> http://bunnie-lover.blogspot.com/2011/04/new-nail-polish.html
Hope you guys like this and Happy Easter!

This is a MUST HAVE!
$1.50 per piece
I don't know how many of you guys have heard of this but by far this is the cheapest and the best way to keep your hair up when you want it up - VELCRO!!!!
Let's just say that this does its job really well, it can keep your fringe up when you wash your face or put your makeup but at the same time it won't give you creases that hair clips would give you. Long story short, if you are in Hong Kong, just go to Sasa and get it! I use it on a daily bases and just for the sake of keeping my hair out of my face. I do believe that Sasa sells a similar product that shapes like a bow, that one is just a few bucks more but a lot cuter, so if you have visitors around or you just simply want to look more adorable when you are at home, that one works just as well as this.
BUT bear in mind that you wouldn't want to wear that out, it is not a hair accessory. I wonder if it is possible for me to bling it up, I'll let you guys know if it works : )

New nail polish : )
Guilty Pleasure.... sigh :)
Around $132
This is the OPI NL Z16 SKI TEAL WE DROP
As usual, nail colours tend to look slightly different in bottle and on nails, this one has more of a Prussian blue to it after applied. Got this just cos they sell it in mannings and the only good colour there that I didn't have. A quick review on OPI nail polish, one thing I love about OPI is that first their consistency is good, they dry up pretty quickly so you won't have to wait forever to let it dry. Love the size of the brush and how it is flat unlike a lot of other drug store brands. The only thing is that it is hard to get the colour I want in Hong Kong and shopping online is quite risky sometimes. Some of mine are drying up and am planning to get their nail polish thinner. If anyone of you own the OPI shatter, the thinner is a must buy if you would like to use most of the product in the bottle.
Around $78
If you guys don't know what brand this is and you are in Hong Kong, it is a cosmetics brand that Watsons carry at a few stores, and I do believe that the largest GOSH counter is in the huge Watsons in Causeway Bay. This colour is the 597 MISS MINTY, a very nice colour if you want something to brighten your Spring and Summer days. One thing I love about GOSH is that their colours are really opaque, for example, it only took me 2 layers to get a perfect nail shown in the photo above. The fall back to this brand is that first they don't really have a large variety of color choice [but I have to say, they carry a lot of colors that other brands don't have], and secondly, the brush is very tiny so it takes a few more strokes before your whole nail is covered. I suppose the only good thing to a small brush is that you can easily fill in small gaps and do nail art with it, but the brush isn't THAT fine.
Just cos some people are wondering, this is my nail polish collection, VERY messy I know.

Lash Glue
Around $70
Personally I think that most of the lash glues are more or less the same, at the end of the day it still does what it should and keeps the lashes on your lids. Therefore, the most important thing that differentiate the best and the worst is the packaging of the product.
One thing I love about this packaging is that it comes with a really small lash brush so it wouldn't give you too much glue when you apply it onto your lashes and it would take TOO long to get tacky. Also it is very convenient to just apply it straight to the corners of your lashes when they sort of fall out from time to time, very good for emergency use, the bottle itself is small and very handy to carry around as well.

cleansing express Eye Make up Remover
Around $50
I love using water proof cosmetics and I have to admit that it can be a pain in the ass to take it off, so I personally prefer an oil base eye makeup remover to get off all the mascara and lash glue before cleansing my face. This is why I was such a loyal user of the Lancome Bi-Facil Eye Makeup Remover, it removes water proof mascara without a struggle.
Unfortunately, I ran out of my last bottle and I was desperately for one, and I wasn't able to find one at Sasa or Bonjour (cos it is cheaper) so instead I have decided to just get another one, first to actually have something to take my makeup of for that night and secondly to give another brand a try. I came across this one in Sasa and it was a Japanese brand, since I am very keen on Japanese products and it is way more affordable than the Lancome one, I decided to buy it.
I have to say that though this one is not as good as the Lancome one, it is a very affordable alternative because it is very effective in removing lash glue, for those who know, lash glue is a pain in the ass. So I would definitely recommend it to people who just need a spare eye makeup remover around to use when theirs is out.

Shoes
I can't believe I bought 4 pairs of shoes today, technically it is a secret but since they are so nice, I'll just let everyone know ^^
I got them for quite a decent deal, they were originally priced at $800 but I got them for $300. They are fluffy but they actually look really nice ^^ Though boots are still in for the Spring/ Summer season, I reckon I shall wear it as soon as possible and leave it till next Winter.
How can you not love these? I love how they are so simple. And if you know me, you would know that I am IN LOVE with leather right now; since it is Summer soon, why not invest on a pair of leather sandals?
What else can I say about these? They are cute and comfortable, they are perfect!
These are really cute pumps, I like how the chains just flows at the back and sways when you walk : ) This was apparently specially designed by this company, let me know if you are interested.

Aquair Deep Moist Hair Treatment Cream
Around $40-60
OMG I am not exaggerating when I say that this is the best product ever!
Due to a lot of dying, perming, bleaching and curling; my hair is dry and coarse, people who know me would know that. The worst thing with dry hair is that it gets tangled easily and it can be really hard to comb through it without getting the comb trap in your hair.
Well the thing is, I was in Mannings the other day and I saw this brand, I had no idea what it was so I have decided to give it a try. So the next day, I tried it out around 3 in the afternoon, though I did find my hair looking a bit more hydrated than usual, there wasn't much difference. It wasn't till at night when I finally found out how amazing this product is.
After I used the product, I went out to shop for a bit and the day was windy, my hair was flying everywhere. And then I went out to dinner and I had it in a bun to get it away from my face. If it were my usual hair, it would have been very tangled by now no matter how smooth it was before I went out the house, but when I tried to comb it when I got home, it only took me 2 strokes to untangle all my hair. IT WAS LIKE A MIRACLE!
This really is a good product cos you can actually see the result after using it once, so I strongly recommend this to people who have damaged hair. : )

MAC Lip Conditioner Hydratant
Around $160
For people who didn't like the previous lip moisturizer, this is another one that I have tried recently and loved.
Unlike the Origins, the formula of this product is way thicker and heavier so it is not too ideal for users in Hong Kong to wear it out daily for it will trap all the dust and dirt that is flying around. So I recommend using this at home or indoors.
I haven't used this product for a very long time, but it definitely does its job. I had it overnight last night and I woke up with no dry lips, especially when my lips are easily dehydrated, this product definitely worth talking about.
I definitely recommend people to use the Origins Lip Remedy in the day and this one at night before you sleep, so you will start the day with smooth hydrated lips and keep it hydrated during the day.

Origins Lip Remedy
Around $100-$150
As I have mentioned before, I have been using this for a very long time. I do believe that I have went through quite a few generations of this, from the one where it looks like a lip gloss with an applicator, and then a tube like one same size as the mini Juicy Tubes by Lancome and then now this version of it.
I personally love this because it really is very hydrating, in the description it calls itself the 'soothing lip saver'. My lips are always dry and dehydrated all the time, even in the summers and it is really hard to actually find one that is hydrating enough and at the same time with a decently low consistency, others that I have tried are way too sticky or heavy to wear during Summer and it is really irritating.
The product itself is very creamy, the consistency is between lotions and hand creams. After applying it, you would feel a hint of cool mint on your lips, but it is not as strong as the Mentholatum ones, it feels like when a soft breeze blows upon your face when you have lip gloss on, it is not long lasting though.
I'd say that there are two flaws to this product, first is that as mentioned the formula has a creamy texture to it, therefore when you use it, it would leave your lips looking whiter than it should be; but then all you have to do is gently pat your lips with your finger and your lips will absorb the product faster and the whiteness will go along with it. Secondly, though it is really hydrating, it doesn't last very long during the day, so you would really need to apply it constantly during the day, maybe 4 -5 times, so for people who would want to just put something on once a day (technically speaking, lip products are generally expected to be applied on more than once a day), you might want to use something that is thicker.
I recommend to use this during the day before any lip products, this product might not be hydrating enough for night time use before you sleep.
