Etude House Peel Off Base Coat

Glitter polishes are beautiful, especially as an accent nail color, but removal is a pain.
This cool bottle of peel of polish is handy, when you want to remove polish quickly!

The color is a milky white that dried clear! After one generous coat, it really does work!

I've seen some people make a similar type of base coat with Elmers glue, so give it a try!

Sala Hair Mist


Hair mists are particularly popular in Asia, not so much in the states. I was constantly seeing this in Japanese drugstore, so I decided to try it out for myself.
Sala, a brand under Kanebo, sells a wide range of beautifully scented hair mists. This pink one is sweet with a hint of floral. Not too overwhelming, but just enough to make your hair smell intoxicating.
Lasting power is about 4 hours. Which isn't too bad, in my opinion.

Nars Lip Pencil


I've extremely picky when it comes to lip products. I hate the glossy look, product scent is important, I hate touching up and products that are long lasting is a major plus.
Nars lip pencils hit all those! They come in a variety of colors, so there's bound to be one that will suit your taste.
The downside is the pencil part. You need to buy a large pencil sharpener and I find it difficult to sharpen without wasting a bit or product. Overall, the pros outweigh the cons. Do give it a swatch if you're ever at Sephora or Nordstrom.

Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Cruella



The Korean gradient lip trend is one of the top trends currently. When I use lip tints, the color can someone look blotchy after eating and drinking. So a new trend is to use red lipstick to create a long lasting tinted effect!
Nars Cruella is the perfect one to use since it's 1. matte 2. long lasting 3. non drying
Just dab some on the inner part of your lips and blend with your finger. It looks natural and it's suitable for all occasions!

Etude House Ice Cream Nail Polish




How cute is this polish from Etude House? I probably should've taken the picture the other way, so you could see the cone shape hehe. Most Korean polishes are affordable and opaque, this one being no exception. I cannot recall the name of this color, but it's a rich chocolate brown that looks great on my skin tone. It's also a color which I, surprisingly, do not own!

There are a couple other colors in this ice cream collection. I'm not sure if it is limited edition or not, but I've seen them on sale on many Korean beauty web shops, so if interested pick them up quickly before it's too late!
