Swatch: Essie Chinchilly

My first nail polish that is out of my comfort zone color (purples..pinks..)!

It’s described on the Essie site as “a sleek granite gray”.

To me it looks a bit like gray, brown, and a little bit of purple mixed together.

Love Package from Lil Lady's Life

I’ve been very lucky on blogspot! (I wish I was this lucky in life lol)
I’m very thankful for all the bloggers :] Always so nice ^__^

& I’m very sorry that I can’t also give back to everyone with giveaways (hope you understand!)
Anyways…lol

A little while ago I won Lil Lady’s Life’s giveaway…I’m always excited about receiving prizes but this time I was jumping out of my seat with joy! :D


Why..? Because the prizes included the MAC Stereo Rose MSF (ahh!!) & Majolica Majorca Lash Expander Frame Plus = Double the happiness :]

And she was so sweet and included a lot of samples (great for me since I’m still trying to find things that work best for me)^__^

Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!!

*Message to Lil Lady’s Life: Thank YOU for the giveaway and blogging :] And the MSF came in one piece!*


Nothing special about the package…BUT wait for the contents that were inside :]



So many samples! My collection of samples just keeps growing :P


Majolica Majorca Lash Expander Frame Plus.
I can’t wait to try this out. But I’m going to have to look around for how others take it off since I heard it is very very hard to remove it >__<


Guess what’s inside…!


Tada!! (lol excuse my expressions if you think it’s too corny :X)



H20+ Face Oasis Hydrating Treatment (Oil-Free), Bad Gal Plum, B&BW Midnight Pomegranate Anti-Bacterial Deep Cleansing Hand Gel, & MAC Stereo Rose MSF

Thank you a bunches (again lol)!!! ^__^


I’ve only tried the H20+ Face Oasis Hydrating Treatment and I think it’s been really helping with my dry patches. Must go and find the H20+ store in NYC!

Is it fake?

Help! Help! Help!

Yesterday I had the time to make a trip to Chinatown to walk around the beauty shops.
I remembered seeing some of the Hada Labo range at one of the shops I usually browse around and decided to get it.

I usually don’t doubt the authenticity of products (even though it is always better to be on the safe side), I went ahead and googled pictures to compare the labels on the ones other bloggers posted and the one I had.

And…they’re different!! Ahh >__< There is Japanese the label, but there is also quite a lot of Chinese. It didn’t click to me when the SA at the store was reading it off to me in Chinese :X

I hope it is because it’s from Hong Kong (at least I think it is…), whereas most bloggers who blogged about the product were from Singapore/Malaysia.

If anyone has seen packaging like the one that I have, please let me know so I can calm myself and use this product happily :[

Maybe I'm just over thinking this?...What do you guys think?


This is the one that I got.



The only one that is closest to mine that I’ve seen.



The one that is most similar to the ones other bloggers have.


Here are the differences.
