Beauty Friends Essence Maskpacks, Review, VS Miraculous, "Shape-Ups"

I will be working on jewelry tonight, so be on the look out.

Okay.. so i need to buy a new memory card for my camera.... something happened and now the card is write protected & i have no idea how/why or how to remove it.. :[
I recently got these masks in Red Ginseng, Herb & Aloe.
Description of Red Ginseng:
Includes red ginseng extracts giving out natural fragrance that tighten skin pores while it cleans & moisturizes.
Herb:
Includes herbal extractst aht help to rejuvenate sensitive skin while it cleans & moisturizes

Aloe:
Includes aloe extracts that help to prevent infection while it moisturizes dry skin
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Description of Beauty Friends Herb Mask:
Includes herbal extracts that help to rejuvenate sensitive skin while it cleans & moisturizes.

My comments:
- the smell of this mask is AMAZING (at least to me) it reminds me of potpourri :] i really really like it. the aroma is stronger than MBD masks.
- i have sensitive skin so I thought this mask should be pretty good :]
- there's a bit too much of the moisture/mixture/substance whatever on it, it dripped a few times
- it doesn't have a plastic part to help you put on like MBD masks
- decent fit on the face
- when i took off the mask.. my skin was smoother & whiter.
-  i will DEFINITELY repurchase.

I just got these today, I had to order them online because no Wal-Mart near me sells them.
I wish I could have gotten them in black.

They're so weird to walk in lol, You can like.. rock back & forth in them (as you can tell, the back and front bottoms of the shoe aren't even with the part that touches the ground). 
Look wise... they look like sneakers that would attract more of the older generation..but other than that.. cool lol. They make me a bout 1 1/2-2" taller :P They're kinda like sport platforms! haha. I'll let you know my final results on them after wearing them for awhile. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Supposed to add 2 cup sizes & Pushup :P
I decided I wanted to try it on....and they have you put on this shirt too!
LOL. This bra is crazy. But super silky & comfortable :] 
I suggest at least just trying it on for fun :P
HAHAHA

I wouldn't say it's two bra sizes, it's probably 1-1 1/2.
Pic with my new glasses!

My Beauty Diary Aloe Mask Review

I haven't used masks for awhile so I thought I should probably start up again. The last time I used one was from Clean & Clear in probably Freshman year of High School! 
Since My Beauty Diary masks are pretty popular, I thought I would give it a try.
This is my first time trying a non-cream in a tube type mask so I was like "Whhaaaatt!!" lol.

I decided to use this one because the last time i actually put real aloe on my face when I had bad acne in high school..., i felt weird LOL. (we have an aloe plant).

My Skin:
I have very dry, semi-sensitive skin with acne scars.. so thought maybe this might soothe it a bit.
I used to have uneven skin, as in you lightly rub my hand against my face and it wouldn't be completely smooth....but I've been using Aveeno's daily moisturizers and those have been working wonders :] I've been using them for about 1 1/2-2 years now.

Description:
aloe - Provides skin with adequate moisture content
rose - improves dry & rough skin texture
 amino acid - nourishes and moisturizes skin
hyaluronic acid - highly effective in moisture retention

moisturizes, repairs, revitalizes and nourishes skin

My comments:
-The scent of the aloe mask is very faint, but nice, smells, clean (? lol). It sort of reminded me of cleansing towels that i've gotten.
-there's a lot of the stuff on the mask! o_o
-with the mask on, it didn't irritate my skin, there's no "burning" or "cold" feeling as some masks may feel like.
-my face felt really warm when i took off the mask, haha, still no irritation.

we'll see tomorrow how my skin is! :]
fyi: i've been pimple free for 6 days, yay!

I wish these were less expensive and easier to get by within the U.S.!! And I KNOW I won't be making any trips to anywhere in Asia anytime soon >.<
The least expensive I can get them for is $1.55.. 10 pack for $15.50 ... free shipping.
and another that's $1.42 each.. 30 pack for $43 is that good?i have no idea lol. it just sounds expensive to pay $2 on a single mask! D= or i'm just cheap.. >.< someone let me know if that's a good price lol
But.. i feel an addiction coming soon with these, haha........

Have you heard of the new mask in their line called "Bird's Nest Mask"? lol...

I still have Pearl Powder & Yogurt to review :]
I also bought some other masks by "Beauty Essence" or something... I'm still waiting for those to come in though.

CG makeup, credit/debit card payments & more

Now accepting Credit/Debit cards! Jordon showed me the other day that people can use their debit/credit cards to pay someone with Paypal, without having a Paypal account themself! We "sort of" tested it, but we didn't really actually pay each other anything :P The option comes up when the Paypal account owner sends an invoice to another person. That other person, when clicking the pay button from the e-mail they receive, it will have an option to sign into Paypal, or "don't have a paypal account?" and it lets you just enter in your card info to pay. That's cool :] Hopefully it really does work! =D Soo then...

You don't need a Paypal account to buy jewelry! haha :P

I updated the Info, Shipping, Ordering page ;]

Iyah twitted last night saying she had so much makeup because she had no more room for it. You girls are crazy for having so much makeup! This is all I have! O_O

New eyeshadow color & bronzer :]
Seeee I'm cheap! :P cheap brands! This eyeshadow sort of reminds me of a few that Jess from Oohh..Pretty uses. I LOVEE neutral colors...CG used to make this color back in the day, but discontinued it (it had a diff name too) or something (because I couldn't find it). Now that it's back.. yay!! I love it because it blends with my skin tone very well & gives me some shimmer sparkle =D Bedazzled biscotti. It's not even on the website.
The elf bronzer is in Sun Kissed

Eyeshadow, I naturally have a darker skin tone (half Filipino!) so this color blends in A LOT. But That's how I wanted it
^This is using an HD lamp light only.^

Also, I got the CG's Smoky Shadow Blast in Bronze Fire:


It's okay.. it's not all that great. In my opinion, it's a little too creamy and it may become cakey if you apply too much. The plastic covers cracked/broke on the first few days too. I really like the two colors though :P If you do use it.. I suggested that you definitely put a primer and/or a powdered similar colored eyeshadow on top to hold it in place. But again.. don't put a lot or it will probably become cakey :[

I've been going to the gym all week again! Yay! xD Now.. to keep that up...

I'm about to leave to go to Jordon on his lunch break from work & the gym, but I plan to get more ear cuff designs up soon :]

Pink cluster bracelet & elf lashes review.

I made a new cluster bracelet, yay! It took me about 1 1/2~ 2 hours. I didn't really keep track.

I don't have my HD light with me because I'm at Jordon's so here's really bad pics with flash/without.
 I really like how it turned out =D


I will take more pictures when I get home this weekend.


Top two are with a flash, bottom is without/natural light.
Baby Princess Bracelet
Swarovski crystals, cat's eye hearts, crown charm & heart toggle clasp. Sterling silver pins.

Free Elf products with orders! =D


So, today was my first time trying out false lashes. I failed so much LOL. I used Elf's Natural lashes in black.
Well first of all,....I lost one of the lashes LMAO, don't ask me how, I really don't know. It was during the time when I was trying to open the glue tube because the poker on the cap wasn't sharp/pointy enough to poke through. The glue sucks. So if you plan on using these, make sure you have strips or some other glue to use. Other than that... I suck at false lashes ( I have naturally long ones anyway, I just felt like testing it out lol) & the lashes look pretty decent :] 
haha, my sucky lash review :P
