Great news! Fairy Girl launched a liquid lipsticks! I am so happy for the brand and I love to see them expand more! Fairy Girl is cruelty free, vegan brand that does an awesome lipsticks.

There is 15 shades in total. I got all of them, 12 lipstick came packaged in a box that are matte and 3 singles that have slight shimmer in  :)
They are adorable! The tube is small and it have a rose gold cap with Fairy Girl's logo on it. Each lipstick is amazing! they smells so good! Like vanilla cupcakes! The moussy texture goes on so smoothly! They dry in less then 2 minutes and you don't even feel them! Once on the lips they stay there! No transfer and they don't feel sticky or tacky. The last all day. When i say all day i mean all day. I applied  around 7:30 am and when i come home from work 8:00 pm I still have a lipstick on.

Bio Silk and White Sands ~ New in my Hair Care

*pr sample*




 Hello Loves, 

and welcome to a new post on a hair care :) 
I have super delays in posting. As few of you know I work full time and I do blogging mostly weekend. One of my co workers left for Vacation for 3 weeks and some one had to replace her and do her job. Yes that someone was me. I was basically doing 3 jobs at ones. I was so busy at work that when I got home I didn't want to do anything just dinner, shower and then sleep. Even weekends were busy. In mean time my grandpa passed away all of the sudden. For two weeks I was so depressed. You could even see the lack of IG posts (if you follow my IG).  Now I am hoping everything is getting back to normal and I can post all the unpublished posts. 

Now, hair care and new additions to my hair care family. 
Lets start with White Sands, since this is the right order to start you hair care is with washing and shampooing :)

White Sands Orchid Bliss Revitalizing Shampoo and Conditioner. 



It so funny how good timing some companies have. I was running low on shampoo and conditioner and than I get this two in the mail. Thanks White Sands! 
Stop color fading with this duo :)
Orchid flower is known for its vibrant, fade  resistant color. Based on this concept White Sands Orchid Bliss Shampoo and Conditioner utilize the flowers anti-aging features and mineral richness to support color retention. with an extra gentle sulfate-free formula, the duo will leave hair feeling clean and full of body without stripping strands and fading color. Orchid extract fight free radicals, increases hair immunity and reduces the appearance of strands imperfections like split ends. The orchid complex will instantly fill in these imperfections giving  a high shine and vibrant color. 
Other ingredients like sunflower seed extract, grape seed oil, carrot seed, olive extract and apricot kernel will restore the moisture , shine , elasticity and softens lost from chemical treatments, thermal stress and daily UV exposure. 
Ingredient Highlight:
* sunflower seed extract ~ offers natural hair color and UV protection . 3X more effect than shampoo with only Vitamin E
* Grape Seed Oil ~ rich in antioxidants 
* Ginseng Extract ~ infuses hair with fullness
* Jojoba Oil ~ acts as moisturizer and improves hair elasticity 
* Flax Seed Oil ~ for softness and over all helps hair stay healthy
* Avocado Oil ~ for moisture
* Carrot Seed ~ contains beta-carotene, which is high in natural antioxidant and Vitamin A
* Olive Fruit ~ high in antioxidant and Vitamin E
* Apricot Kernel ~ high in Vitamin E, B17 and Omega 6 and 9 fatty acids it has natural softening and moisturizing properties. 
* Hydrolyzed Soy Protein ~ straightness hair, builds body, adds shine, provides moisture, mitigates damage due to  bleaching and using hot tools. 

You see my hair, I bleach them once a month and I use hot tools on daily basis. So when i read that this duo will help my hair especially with color fading I sign up right away. Most of shampoos I use they are good, they leave my hair soft but they take away the color. I been using White Sands duo for a little over two weeks and so far I love it. I didn't see much change in a hair color. My hair did feel clean and soft :) Shampoo lathers up pretty well for sulfate-free formula. I do like when shampoo lather up. I dunno I feel then that my hair is really getting clean you know? :) Conditioner is creamy and thick. On both you don't need much product tho. The plus is that they come with a pump :) This really makes my life easier :) And now the smell. Oh my lord these smell amazing! when i wash my hair I literally getting transformed to tropical Islands :) Heaven. and the best part my hair smells nice all day :) I really like the duo :) I also notice that less of my hair comes out when i brush which is a good thing!
 both products can be purchased via White Sands.

BioSilk 1st Professional Styling Tools 



Yes you see that right BioSilk launched a styling tools line. And I am a proud owner of two :)
The line includes Blow Dryer, Flat Iron and 4 Spring Curling Irons in different sizes. 

The lightweight tools bear maximum heat to enhance styling efficiency, producing salon quality results. each styling tool is equipment with titanium, a premium heat conductor that possesses immense strength, enabling light weight tools withstand increasingly high levels of heat.  Due to its resistance corrosion and immeasurable strength-to-density ratio, titanium plates and barrels heats instantaneously, allowing for faster styling. Additionally, titanium seals cuticle, locking out humidity and producing shine. 

BioSilk Titanium  Professional  Hair Dryer  



The dryer dries hair faster and create smooth and sleek blow out in less time. 
Is designed with powerful 1875 watt ceramic motor with an ion generator, to produce shine and sealing hair cuticles and locking out the humidity. 




The dryer is simply amazing. It have 2 speed settings and 2 temperature settings. It is really  lightweight. The air comes out straight to you hair. It is strong and drys hair really fast. My hair and my daughter hair gets dry within minutes. Dryer comes with to attachments as well. 
I like the fact that is silver and its all pretty looking :) It the best hair dryer I ever had. 



Price $119.99 (click here to shop)

BioSilk Titanium 1" Flat Iron



The iron combines the power of ceramic and titanium elements for the smoothest and silkiest straightening results.
Iron's plates heat quickly and evenly while retaining even heat distribution. Titanium is high in strength and low in density allowing for lightweight, scratch-resistant tool. Titanium products incredible shine , seals hair cuticle and locking out humidity. 
It have a LED digital temperature display and it heats up to 410F. 



Again I was surprised how lightweight it was. You would think that lightweight tools won't work as good as the heavy ones. They do actually work better. I am used to using ceramic flat irons, so switching for titanium was kinda weird. At first while straightening I thought I would pull out all my hair or burned them down. Silly Right? I do love the way my hair looked after I straight them. Silky smooth and just beautiful. They didn't look dry or burned. It straight my hair within minutes. I actually going back and forth with this one CHI one and I really like them both :) And yeah its silver and so pretty! perfect pair it makes with a blow dryer :)




Price $159.99 (click here to shop)



My final thoughts on the BioSilk Titanum tools is that both are amazing. Before i start using BioSilk blow dryer I was using CHI one and I tell you I like this one better :) I still continue to use CHI as well. I keep BioSilk next to my vanity and CHI is in a bathroom :) 
Both the dryer and the flat iron are really lightweight. They both work great on my hair and they are fast. By that I mean the dryer dry hair withing minutes and the iron straightens my hair withing minutes. I say I need less than 30min to get ready and note that i have a long hair. Both come with 2 fl oz Hot Thermal Protectant  Mist. 
 Not only it smells amazing but it actually keep my hair safe from the heat. 

Another great product is Silk Therapy Thermal Shield , oh my this smells soooooo freaking good! I just want to spry it on my hair all the time. It does protect my hair from all the hot tools and it makes them look all shiny and healthy. I use this right before I start with flat iron. I spray a good amount of it onto my hair and start styling my hair. It can be used on a wet hair but I personally dislike it. I feel like my hair is harder to comb through. Once my hair is dry I spry comb and then go over with flat iron. This is the way I like it the best. 

Beauty Favorites 2017 ~ January




Ok I know its like the middle of February already, but here are my January Favorites :) Last year I kinda skipped these type of posts. I might posted once or twice .. shame on me right. I personally like reading monthly favorites. This year one of my blogging goals is to post them every month. 

So with that said let me show you my January Favorites. 



Wet N wild Photofocus foundation ~ new addition to wet n wild family. I was not really looking for this foundation I kinda stumbled on it while looking for Kandee Polishes LOL. There was not many colors left. I picked two. Shell Ivory is better match then Beige one.  I came to really like it. It have a cool applicator. I like to blend with damp sponge. I tried with brushes but it leaves my skin looking dry and cakey. I know people complain about the smell but personally it don't bother me. It gives a nice coverage. And its really cheap too! Next I want to grab concealers and faced powders :) 

Milani Cosmetics Make It Last Makeup Spray ~ this makeup spray is amazing! It have a great spray nozzle that spays fine mist directly on the face and not anywhere else. It did eliminated the powder look on my face! big plus for that! Although it didn't last 16h as it claims it did last around 9h for me , which is not bad :) Right now this is my go to setting and priming spray :) 

Now let me tell you about my two favorites that I can not live without. 
Art Deco Eye Shadow Base  and Clarins Supra-Volume Mascara. Holy Crap! both products are just simply amazing. ArtDeco eye-shadow base keep my eye-shadow on my lid the whole day. I mean it no creasing, no fading. The way I applied them in morning stays put through out the day. It comes in small (5ml) jar and it smells like  a men cologne. Why does it smell like a cologne? I don;t know but I love it! I love the smell! This is great primer if you have an oily lids :) Definitely try it out :) It is not only my favorite, my fellow polish blogger Monika (Candymona) loves it just as much. She told me she is on her 3rd jar! :) 
Now Clarins Supra-Volume Mascara I cant get enough of it. It makes my lashes so beautiful, think and black. It makes them long and makes them look like a fake lashes! I don't wear fake lashes and now I don't need to coz I have Clarins Mascara :) I usually put on 2 to 3 coats :) Its intensely black. The wand is amazing it catches all the lashes and just adds life to them :) The formula is more on a wetter side. Over all this mascara will be purchased as soonest its gone. I think I found my holy grail you guys ! you want super sexy lashes ? Use Supra-Volume you wont regret. 



Now let me show you some eye shadows that i been loving past month :)
ArtDeco  Most Wanted palette NUDE ~  to be honest I thought I will not like this palette. And boy I was wrong. I do like it and I like it a lot. It prefect mix of mattes and shimmers in brown, grey and rose hues. The color complements each other and blends really nice. The shimmer rose shade is my favorite! 
The other shadows I been loving are by MBA Cosmetics. I love their eye shadows.  They are pigmented, soft and they blend like a dream. Silk FX Shadows are my favorite. The ones I been loving last month are :
* Peach Frost ~ shimmery frosty peach
* True Love ~ matte, light nude pink 
* Blue Carrauco ~ shimmery vivid tropical blue 
* Sangria ~ rich and sultry burgundy 
* Turquoise ~ shimmery blue green 
* Honey ~ shimmery golden tan 
The way I like to use them was: blend True love in my crease. Peach frost all over my lid. Smoked out with a bit of Sangria. Honey in my inner corner and either Blue Carrauco or Turquoise on my lower lash line :) 



now for lips I really liked :
* Fairy Girl Rose Goddess Liquid Lipstick ~ when Fairy Girl told me the brands is coming out with liquid lipsticks I was so happy! Their lipsticks are amazing but the liquid ones way better! Out of all my most used one is Rose Goddess, which is a gorgeous mauve rose shade. The formula is amazing, the time wear about 8h. 
* Colourpop Calypso Satin Liquid Lipstick ~ that's it I love satin liquid lipsticks by Colourpop. Pretty  rosy nude shade.. I really like the formula on this one as well.  Mousse type consistency  that  applies opaque in one swipe. It dries to satin finish on the lips and lasted about 8h on me. 
* Jordana Sweet Creme Matte Liquid Lipstick Tiramisu ~ I was not expect them to be so good. Dang Jordana! Tiramisu is one of two Jordana's Sweet Creme Matte lip[sticks I picked up early this year. Unfortunately my display had all reds left and I am nude type of girl :) any who I love this formula and this shade! Tiramisu is beautiful rosy brown with a 90's vibe to it. I love how it look on me. Surprisingly wore so good! It have a mousse texture and opaque in one swipe :) Defiantly need more! even the reds! 
(top Jordana, middle colourpop, bottom Fairy Girl)




And last let me show you my favorite duo that I was wearing on my nails since Christmas. 
London Town nail color in Brill-and and China Glaze in Define Good..
Both look stunning on  the nails and both wear nicely over base and top coat by London Town. 
London Town Brill-ant bold metallic rose shade! OMG this is one of my all time favorite colors! Its simply stunning and well it look amazing paired with China Glaze Define Good which is rich cranberry shimmer shade :) 




So that would be it . My January Favorites :) Do you know any of the products? What did you love in January ?
