Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Lotion Sunscreen

(I RECEIVED THIS PRODUCT COMPLIMENTARY FOR TESTING AND REVIEW PURPOSES FROM INFLUENSTER)

~Everyday Sunscreen~

I'm a sunscreen fanatic~!
I use sunscreen everyday before I leave my house. 
I live where everyday is sunshine.
We do get rain but the rain only last 5 minutes. Or it be raining with the sun shining though.
No lie it is full on sunshine with rain.

I love where I live but I don't like to get sunburned or tan though.
So I worship sunscreens. 
But some sunscreen sometimes feel like they tighten my skin or makes it feel dry.

To me this is the holy grail for sunscreens~!
It's a sunscreen but with lotion mixed in~!
And it smells so tropical/beachy~!

To me this is AMAZING~!
This is what I have been waiting for in the sunscreen world.
Now I know summer is about to be over soon and students are going back to school.
But on the other half of the world spring is about to begin~!
Anywhoo~ even in freezing temps if you standing outside more then 15 minutes in direct sunlight you are suppose to wear sunscreen.
~I did my research on this (^.-)~

I truly love this sunscreen it is more of the lotion feeling with how smooth my skin feels.
I did test this out with me bring outside all day long at... Disney World~!
Seriously I spend half my life at Disney X3

I applied this before I left home, at lunch time, and later around 4pm.
And every time I didn't feel like I was applying sunscreen it feels so smooth and smells wonderful~!

When I returned home I was not sunburned! Woohoo~!
(BTW I only get sunburn on my shoulders no where else but there. Strange I know~)
Next day I check to see if I was tanned and nope I was still my prefer skin tone... if that even makes sense.

(I carry so much in my bag >o<)

I carried this around with me everywhere I go now.
It's like my baby of sunscreen that I can't abandon anywhere~!

Pros: Lotion infuse sunscreen makes you feel so smooth and does not even feel like you are wearing sunscreen. Plus the smell makes me feel like the summer beach~!
Cons: The only con I can think off is... ummmm........... nothing really.
Final Answer: I already have three back-up bottles of this and planning to buy more until next spring <3

Quaker Soft Baked Banana Nut Bar

(I RECEIVED THIS PRODUCT COMPLIMENTARY FOR TESTING AND REVIEW PURPOSES FROM INFLUENSTER)


Flavor Not For Me

First off I REALLY dislike Banana Nut Bread!
To me banana should just stay a fruit and nothing else.
But sadly I was sent this to try in this exact flavor. Blugh~!

Not that is over...

I did try it and ate only have of it.
To me it was another oats energy bar nothing to drastic.
It got the health points and easy to travel with points.


I took mine on-the-go to Disney~!
While waiting in line to go on Space Mountain I went nibbling on the Quaker bar.
Even though I didn't like the flavor but waiting over an hour in line you take anything to eat. 
It tame my hunger just by eating half and it gave me the energy that I needed.

Now luckliy there is another flavor...



THIS is something I would eat~!
I LOVE cinnamon~!~
Why did I get the banana (,-o-,)


Pros: Healthy energy bar & easy to grab and go

Cons: I DON'T LIKE BANANA FLAVORS!

Final Answer: Good alternative to other quick foods but they don't have that much flavor options.

Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Color Review

(I RECEIVED THIS PRODUCT COMPLIMENTARY FOR TESTING AND REVIEW PURPOSES FROM INFLUENSTER)

안녕하세요~!


A Troublesome Lover



The latest addiction of the nail polish world is magnetic nail polish.
A couple brands has their own magnetic polish but the one most known about is Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Polish.
I received the one in the color Ionic Indigo, a dark navy color.

This nail polish makes it easy to create a nail design without any of the struggle.
But it can be troublesome to the few who have curve finger nails.... like I do. 

Now it's not a bad product, not at all.
I truly am in love with this product but the magnet can be tricky to use.

It is simple to use with basic 1-2-3-4 steps.

First step: Paint one coat of nail polish and let it dry
This is what it looks like with the first coat dry. 
It is pretty all on it's own without the magnetic design effect.

Second Step: Paint a THICK coat of nail polish
(Tip: If you have curve nails paint 1/2 of your nails at a time since if you paint all at once you won't get your whole nail the design.)

Third Step: Once painted immediately hold the magnet over the wet polish.
 Now it has this curve stand where you place it where your cuticles are at.
(Tip: Be careful since there are magnetic particulars that will rise to the magnet and stain the magnet . Keep a watch out for that.)


Fourth Step: Paint a coat of clear nail polish and wah-la~!
You have magnetic design nails~!
It really looks good with a bight neon accent nail too~!

Now this is not something that you can do quickly it does take time to do this. You can do the first step all at once but second step you have to do it one at a time.
It takes time so best time to do this is when you are watching some good Korean dramas..... *cough*Gentleman's Dignity*cough* ^.-

Pros: Awesome nail design without the trouble and last a REALLY long time without any chipping.
Cons: Have to take your time and can't do it right before you leave. Also the price is expensive for a drugstore brand nail polish.
Final Answer: Buy it if you have the patience~! It is a good buy to add to you nail polish collection. I love it and I planned on buying the maroon color next~!

Review: Rimmel London Scandal Eyes Mascara


안녕하세요~!
This orange tube of wonder is my new mascara lover!

I brought this mascara in the color 003 Extreme Black not in waterproof also.
This mascara reminds me a lot of the LashBlast by CoverGirl. 
Especially since the wand is huge~!


As all huge wands it's hard to get those little lashes on the bottom.
Another con is that the formula is wet and it takes a little while for your lashes to dry. It has all happen a couple times already that mascara marks went on my eyelids but nothing a cotton swap can't fix~!

Just as the LashBlast the claim to this mascara is that it gives big long eyelashes that can give you that falsie look.
Though sadly no mascara can really do that (;o;)
But one day I know it will become real~!

But the Scandal Eyes does an amazing job of giving your lashes extra 'umph'~!


Now these are my natural lashes nothing on them at all.

This is my eyelashes with just one coat~!
They are already twice as long~!


This is them with a second coat.
They have gotten a little thicker but also a little more longer~!


Pros of this Mascara: Makes lases longer and slightly thicker.

Cons of this Mascara: Hard to reach tinier lases and formula takes a little while to dry.

Final Answer: It's a keeper in my make-up routine.
It has taken my heart and my lashes to a whole new world~!

TheBalm Is Giving Away Free Make-Up


Free Make-up is like a girls dream come true~!
And right now TheBalm is doing just that~!!!!
Everyday from Monday to Friday they are choosing one person from Twitter and one from Facebook to send them any one of their products!
To buy their products it would cost between $8 to $39.50 at your local Sephora or on their main online shop (https://www.thebalm.com).
But the best part is YOU CHOOSE YOUR OWN PRIZE~!
You just either send them a tweet or post on their wall on which product of theirs do you wish to win.
Now remember it is a giveaway but there is no limit of how many tweets or post you can do but don't spam them either ok.

Now you all are wondering why I'm writing about this right?
Because I actually won!
I did both the tweet and post but I did this an hour before they announce the winner that day. 
I thought I was not going to winner but then when I check my twitter on my phone.... I won~~~!!!!!!!
I was jumping like a kid full of sugar on Christmas day. ((^o^)
Now the prize I won was this bad boy..... yes I just said that ;P

The Shady Lady Vol. 1 Palette. Retail price $39.50 but received for free!

Now I won earlier in the month and I wanted to make sure if this is all true before I tell you about all this. 
Because I really hate when people give others false hope. -.-
Now I did have some mishaps but the customer service (Thanks Eryn~!) are so kind and polite. 
They felt sorry enough to even ship my product by first class and was at my door step in 3 days!
Now it might not be a big deal to some but usually with regular shipping it will take at least a week coming from California to Florida but this package it came here fast!
Now the product's packaging was a simple yellow envelope but it was really safely wrapped in bubble wrapping.
The product it self had no damages what so ever and was in perfect conditions.
Now here is my new palette...


(Sorry for my computer table being a mess and using my make-up idea of GD card to cover the mirror since it's so huge!)

This palette is really amazing!
All the eye-shadows are full of pigments~!

(Closer look of the pretty~pretty shadows)

The palette keeps close by magnetics.
It even comes with a cover of the same design of the palette itself.
Which I like since I know it won't pop open while traveling.

This company is really awesome for doing an everyday giveaways~!
NOW GO AND WIN YOURSELF SOME FREE MAKE-UP~!
And if you do win tell them thank you~ Remember they are doing this outta kindness for all of us make-up lovers. <3
