e.l.f Mascara duo






I am going to review and share the cheapo mascara that i use daily and i like it. I bought this at Walgreens clearance rack for .99 cent. I wore the regular one in the picture. The brushes suck, they are just crappy brushes. But if you apply it gently it will work.
E.l.f. essentials mascara duo is very economical for the lengthening ability it gives. It feels light, but you can still see that you are wearing mascara. It does not flake on me.
It may not work for you who have short and stubborn eye lash.
I read a lot of pros and cons about it. So,this is kinda love it or hate it mascara.

Tiny Haul :Wet N Wild



After reading a lot of good review on  internet about these 2 items i decided to give them a try. 
I picked Bronzer Coloricon ticket to Brazil and a tricolor eyeshadow.
I bought these at Walgreens,they have that Buy one get one half off with the reward card.
I ended up paying $5 something after tax. Which was not bad. I love shopping BoGo.

Organix Shampoo and Conditioner


In spite of some bad reviews,i still love this product. I was hesitating at first,but they smelled so good and the bottles looked so cute. I picked up these 2 at Wal Mart clearance aisle. They were $2 each,i believe. I like them, feels good after,smells even better.
I think each person has different experience,and it depends on the type of hair. These two works well on my hair. Even though they have different scents ,the don't make a new weird scent when you combine them together.
I definitely will buy and try more product from Organix.

Wheat Thins: Spicy Buffalo Flavour





This is 'New In' in my pantry. I have not tried Wheat Thins before, i like the goofy commercial though. I bought this at Wal Mart for $2.50. I love buffalo wing sauce, i thought this snack would be interesting. So i grabbed it.
It not spicy as i though but you still can taste the hint of buffalo sauce. This is supposed to be healthy snack since it says it is 100% whole grain.
I got a free box of Triscuit before,compared to that,Wheat Thins is the winner. I am sure i will get more of Wheat Thins next time i go to grocery store.
If you like that buffalo sauce flavor or healthy snack. You might want to try this.

"As Gold As it Gets" by Essie




When i saw this nail polish, i thought it would be cool for Holiday season. But...this Essie Lux Effects is not as gold as it gets on your nails when you wear it alone . I tried so hard to capture the gold flakes with camera. At first i did not like it,then i googled for some idea,a lot of nice pictures showed up. Most of them layer As Gold As It Gets over solid color. I so have to try this for Christmas.



The Body Shop




I love The Body Shop products. I love the fact that they support Fair Trade, against animal testing and care about environment. It is activism in every product.I know they are expensive in general, but if you are a smart shopper or bargain shopper,you still can find affordable TBS product. I found these at Tj Maxx clearance rack. The yummy Coconut Body Scrub was $5.99 (compare to the original price on their official website). And the Pomegranate Hydrating Body Spray costed me $1.99 ( i checked online they are selling for around 7.99 to 10.00). I love them both. I don't know if i have a good deal on these two.

Ginger Tea




Ginger has known for centuries as a natural remedy. Now, scientists are finding that ginger works wonders in the treatment of everything from upset stomach to cancer.
I want to share with you my natural remedy for stomach flu, nausea and heartburn relief. I get nauseous a lot in cold weather, i don't know why. As you can see i almost hit the bottom of the glass jar. I love it so much,sometimes i drink it because i like the taste. And the most important is,this stuff works!
I found the recipe online long ago, unfortunately i forgot to bookmark it but i wrote it down. I'm sure you can find this online. But here is the ingredients that i use.
Ginger Syrup:
Ingredients:
-1 1/2 cups peeled and thinly sliced ginger root
-1 1/2 cups White sugar
-1/4 cup brown sugar or make your own (you can make it all --white sugar if you prefer)
-2 cups water
-1 lime
Direction:
Peel and dice ginger root. In a saucepan over med.-high heat stir sugars and water together. Quarter the lime and toss into the pan. Heat to boiling stirring occasionally. Once boiling, turn down to medium -low heat and stir in the ginger root pieces. Let simmer 30 minutes. Let cool. Then pour through a tight mesh strainer or cheesecloth into container.
To make ginger tea:
Pour 1-2 Tablespoons ginger syrup into a cup, stir in 8 oz. of hot water. Sip it slowly.

Decorating:with Flowers from Your own Garden




I love gardening. I enjoy watching my plants grow each day. I naturally am a nurturing person though. So i treat them like pets sometimes.
One of my favorite flowers is Mum,because they are perennial,easy to take care. I bought this at Deal$ store two years ago for $1. Yes,they carry plants sometimes.
It was in a small flower pot as you can see in the picture (that's my dog,he was sunbathing). It has grown 4 times bigger than it used to be.
While most of my plants outside are dying,my Mums are blooming beautifully. I picked some yesterday,then i put in a clear glass vase filled with water. They are on the end table in my living room.

bareMinerals 100% Natural Lipgloss: Sugar Plum






 I want to share one of my favorite lipgloss from Bare Minerals. The one that i was wearing is Sugar Plum. It has such a beautiful sparkling color. Smells good too! They say it is all natural, preservatives free and a lip gloss that's good enough to eat haha. Are you fan of Bare Minerals products? I give 5 stars for this awesome lip gloss.

Laura Geller Balance N Brighten Baked Color Correcting Foundation






One of my favorite things in my make up bag. I like Laura Geller product in general. This unique foundation is infused with color-corrective pigment ranging from light tan to sheer. I absolutely love this product, because i hate liquid foundation. I give 4 star out of 5. Why? Because that half moon mirror is useless. I mean,why half??

Freebies: Smashbox Full Exposure




This awesome mascara came in the mail yesterday. Smashbox gave away Full Exposure mascara not long ago. They went out fast! I got lucky. Smashbox gives away goodies once in a while. If you want to try their products without spending money,go to their Facebook page and like the page. Good luck!

Review:Tarte Lip Surgence,Hope




I love Tarte Lip Surgence series,but not really like the price.
This Tarte Lip Surgence, Hope has lovely color. s It is soft color, delicate and girly. Too bad, it looks too sheer on me,since the natural color of my lips are darker. I'm thinking to give this away to my younger sister.
I'm not fan of matte lipstick, it's just not my style,but the good thing is, this lipstain does not give your lips cakey feeling. I think this lip stain will look good on you if you are lighter skin toned person. I think you still can buy this product online, such as Ulta or Qvc.
Pros: Beautiful color, feels light on your lips
Cons: Expensive
Overall, this would be good for you who have lighter color skin tone.
I give 2 stars out of 5,just because it does not look good on me.


Review: Tarte Lip Surgence Pouty



Today i'm going to review one of my favorite lip color by Tarte. It's Lip Surgence Pouty.
I love this dark pink color,it has a little bit shimmer,but not too much. 
When you apply on your lips,it glides smoothly. You don't really have to put Chapstick before you put this on,because the texture is almost like lip balm,very moisturizing. 
Where to buy :Ulta
Pros: Beautiful color,good to create full pouty lips,not over glittery
Cons: Expensive, not available at Walmart (LOL,coz you know if it is,it would be much cheaper)
Overall: Love this so much!!

My American Bulldog,Dozer

   
This is my dog,Dozer. We picked him up at a local breeder not far from our town. He was so cute. Greened eyes,skinny and had floppy ears. My husband called him alien.
I have always wanted English Bulldog,but my husband said that English Bulldogs are high maintenance. They have so many problem,skin allergy,ear infection,yeast infection...you name it.
So,we agreed to get American Bulldog, before we got him, i collected informations about this breed. They say that Am. Bulldogs have good temperament,even though they are powerful they are naturally gentle. And most of all that i wanted to know that they don't have as many problem as the English Bulldog. So,American Bulldog it was...We brought Dozer home,he fell asleep in my arm while we drove home. He was gonna miss his mommy,sisters and aunties.


Look at Dozer as a puppy,he didn't look that he's got that bulldog features. Puppy Dozer was a very good pup, very smart and learnt fast. We only had 2 times "accident" inside the house. He always sat by the door everytime he wanted to go potty.
I am so proud of my baby!



Dozer,8 months,got bigger and looked different. He has become a handsome boy!

Dozer today,3 y/o,80 pounds. We call him Meathead, egghead and many more names,he does not know his real name.
I love Dozer,even though we found out that Dozer has many problem,he's got food allergy,sensitive skin and ear infection that come and go. Never once Dozer cries,he lays down on his side when he sees me with ear flush in my hand. He understand that i take care of him.
