Beauty Bite: Smoothie #1

This Valentines Day, why not try something sweet - other than chocolate, of course. How about even healthy? Here's a delicious smoothie recipe that is super yummy!

Current Favorites

I've had the opportunity to try out so many products this month. So here are some of my favorites:

1. Too Faced Chocolate Bar : I got this some time before Christmas and reach for it almost everyday. The colors are so wearable and even when I'm using other eyeshadows, I pull this out because it works so well with different looks and other palettes.

2. Yes to Coconuts Cleansing Wipes: This has a light soothing scent and is effective at removing most of my make up without  irritating my skin. Seems to hydrate my dry skin as well. I keep a pack of these in my desk at work. Very refreshing at the end of the day.

3. Tarte Eyelash Curler: I love how luxe this looks and it works good too! Fits the shape of my eye. I never worry about it pinching and its easy to hold. Just love this. One of the best eyelash curlers I've ever tried.

4. Milani Infinite Liquid Eyeliner: It takes quite some practice to use this product but when you get it down - you will love this eyeliner. It can make it through anything. Its long lasting, waterproof and smudgeproof.

5. Henna Sooq Organic Camelia Oil: I never ventured into lighter oils until recently and I'm so glad I did. I rub a quarter size amount into my ends and it tamed my frizzies without being greasy or weighing it down. Also, the fact that it's organic makes unafraid to apply it on my scalp. I also use this as a facial moisturizer. An effective multitasking product? Automatic favorite :)

6. Bite Beauty Matte Creme Crayon in Glace: This is a medium coverage creamy lip crayon that is so comfortable to wear. Also, so easy to apply since its a twist up and the thin tip really lets you be precise. More of  a satin finish than a matte, though. Loving this so far since it looks natural and is build-able in color.

DIY: Avocado Hair Mask

Anyone remember science or chemistry class from school? It always made me feel like I was in Potions class. Potter fans, anyone? I get that same feeling of excitement when I DIY salves, oil-concoctions, masks, or any other of beauty experiment. Needless to say, an afternoon mixing ingredients is just my cup of tea.

Brand Focus: ColourPop

Colourpop Lippie Stix, Lip Pencils, and Eyeshadows

So the last couple of months, the blogosphere has been crawling with reviews, hauls, and hype from Colourpop. Of course, I willing caved the moment I saw their eyeshadows. People were talking of this new texture and I had to just try for myself. While browsing their website, I thought why not try a "lippie stix" or two. When I got my package in the mail, I could not help but place another order.
