Tag! I tag everyone!!!

Hi girls, I found this tag on Youtube and I want to share my answers to all of you

MAKEUP
blush or bronzer?
I prefer blush, my favorite right now is Revlon Powder blush in ‘Soft Spoken Pink, it just a very natural sheer medium pink color. I rarely wear bronzer because everytime I try to use it, my complexion just looks dull and ‘dirty’ maybe I haven’t found the right product or the right technique? I don’t know girls…just let me know if you have a suggestion.
lip gloss or lipstick? both. it just depends on my mood.
eye liner or mascara? mascara, but now, I’m in love with my MAC Fluidline Eyeliner in ‘Blacktrack’ this cream eyeliner seriously stays put.
foundation or concealer? concealer, can’t live without my MAC Studio Finish Concealer SPF 35. Love this product. Foundation is too heavy for me.
neutral or color eye shadow? both, again this is really depends on my mood.
pressed or loose eye shadows? pressed, I don’t like powder because it can be messy! Fall outs and everything.
brushes or sponges? brushes.

NAILS
Long or short? short. I think a very long nails look tacky.
Acrylic or natural? I prefer natural all the way.
Brights or darks? depends on my mood. I do love black, burgundy, and navy but sometimes I use pale pink, lavender, blue, or red.
Flower or no flower? no flower. Crazy nail art just creeps me out.

BODY
perfume or body splash? perfume all the way! I’m a perfume addict! Right now I’m rotating among CK “Euphoria”, Carolina Herrera “CH”, and Gucci “Guilty”. Although I love Victoria’s Secret and Bath & Body Works body sprays J
lotion or body butter? both. Lotion on daily basis and body butter when I want to feel pampered. The Body Shop mango and shea body butters are my all time favorite, now I’m curious about their lemon and wild cherry body butters.
body wash or soap? both. Trying different scents, different shapes, and ingredients are always fun. I really want to try more Lush product, but seriously that stuff is very expensive in my country.

FASHION:
jeans or sweat pants? jeans.
long sleeve of short? short but not sleeve less.
dresses or skirts? dresses. It is easier, you don’t have to think about mix and match.
stripes or plaid? stripes
flip flops or sandals? both but I think sandals are cuter
scarves or hats? scarves
studs or dangly earrings? both
necklaces or bracelets? both
heels or flats? flats. I’m 5’7 tall (170 cm) and in my country I considered to be a tall girl. Wearing heels and everybody are going to stare.
cowboy boots or riding boots? riding boots! So much sexier
jacket or hoodie? jacket although I admit hoodie is much more comfy.

HAIR:
curly or straight? I like them both.
bun or ponytail? both, just depends on my mood
bobby pins or butterfly clips? bobby pins.
hair spray or gel? light to medium hold hair spray! Don’t like the super strong one and I don't like gel either.
long or short? long hair like Victoria’s Secret angels J
light or dark? I like them both as long it still looks natural.
side sweep bangs or full bangs? no bangs! I had tried sweep, I had tried blunt and I don't want to go back (at least, not in the near future)
up or down? both, depends on my mood.

RANDOM
Rain or shine? ummm cloudy?
Summer or winter? summer on the beach J Everyday is summer in my country and seriously… it gets super hot everyday
Fall or spring: fall
Chocolate or vanilla: to eat? chocolate I love dark chocolate. To smell? vanilla.


I tag everyone!!! but especially I really want to hear the answers from some of fellow beauty bloggers here:





check them out! I love their blogs

Review of Victoria’s Secret “Pure Seduction” Body Spray and Hand & Body Cream

Victoria’s Secret “Pure Seduction” Refreshing Body Mist


When I was in Changi Airport Singapore a few days back, I decide to tried this Victoria’s Secret stuff. I adore this scent! I love it so much. Very fresh, sweet, and addicting. It contains cassaba melon, plum, and freesia, but personally I smell juicy strawberry and the melon in it. The smell is really strong and fruity when I first spray it onto my skin, but after a few minutes, it changes to this light and airy fruity floral scent. Subtle, delicate and inoffensive for the people around you. Just don’t spray too much because this body spray has amazing sillage. Pure Seduction is great spring/summer fragrance and by the way…my bf loves it too.

The only complain I have about this is the scent doesn’t last long on my skin. I have to re-apply every two hours or so. But that is fine. Every single body sprays in this world will not last on everybody too. If lasting power is very important for you, I suggest buy fragrance in the form of eau de parfum or parfum because they more concentrated and absolutely last longer.


Victoria’s Secret “Pure Seduction” Ultra-Moisturizing Hand and Body Cream


In the store I tried the Pure Seduction body lotion first and I love it. The lotion is very moisturizing, nice consistency, and smells very good, exactly like the body spray. But I decided to buy the hand and body cream because I thought it will moisturize my skin more than the body lotion. The hand and body cream is very rich and of course ticker than the lotion. It makes my skin feels so smooth and silky.

The only thing is, when I first apply, this hand and body cream smells so strong! Very strong! Like a very fruity car freshener! Like something I would use on the floor or toilet! I need to wait a few minutes so the smell settles and fade a little bit. But this one has a great lasting power ( I still can smell it four hours later ). If times can go back, I would choose the body lotion. Not the cream.
