Candy YumYum Lip swatches
MAC Candy YumYum is a matte lipstick which is a very vivid shade of bluish pink. It's actually very bright and I think it screams spring. It leaves a stain on your lips that could last 8 hours depending on your "lip activity" .

Revlon in Ultra Light Ashblonde before and after pics
My local rite aide was having a sale on their revlon hair dyes and it was 2/$6. So I decided to buy some to lighten my hair for the warmer weather. Pre-procedure, my hair was dark brown, as seen in the photo below. I used 2boxes for my long hair which seemed enough. Rinsed my hair after an hour and a half maybe, since the first stroke. My the left photos my before hair and it was dark brown. The right picture is the after.

Orly Nail Polish in Country Club Khaki Review and Swatches
I've been looking for a taupe nail polish that doesn't make my fingers look dead. I went to my local Ulta to just look around for some deals and boy, was it my lucky day! They were having a BOGOfree on their Orly polishes! (this actually happened couple of weeks ago, I don't know if they still have the promo on) I picked up a minty shade and this taupe one which I'm going to review in this post. The shade is called Country Club Khaki.
this was my Ulta haul. ^_^ the polish at the back is the taupe-y one
At first swatch, I was kinda hesitant about this polish because it looked kinda muddy on my nails. It was nighttime when I did that and I only used a night lamp. I gave it a second chance few weeks after that and now I'm obsessed with it. 0_0

Please excuse my manicure because I don't really do nails, I just paint them. I'm just doing my best to keep them from bleeding since I do a lot of dishes and some hand-washing, hence the kitchen background ;)
I used two coats of this since it streaked a little bit the first time I applied it but I think it's opaque enough for a single coat of polish. This is just the polish alone, no top coat applied. I was surprised with the drying time because it only took like 5-10mins for it to dry completely considering the thickness of the formula.
These photos were taken using iPhone 4s' back camera.
Hello. For my first blog, I clearly don't know what to type but the reason why I created this blog is that I want to be able to help people by sharing my experience on beauty stuff through reviews. I myself, depend on reviews before buying something and it helps a lot. For this blog, please expect some swatches on some makeup products, reviews on hair dye and there may also be a little of fashion involved. I hope you had a good time reading through this.
