NOTD: Konad !

Finally I'm trying on Konad.

First time I heard about Konad I was cracking up because of the name.............KONAD. lol.

Doesn't it make you think dirty? ...........no? maybe it's just me then >.<

*cough* Anyway, I made an order from WowSoCool, using "nailphile" code to get 30% off. The processing time is fast, got shipping notification practically the next day & they arrived within 3 days.

The shipping is free Worldwide for $20 minimum purchase so I ordered the stamp & scraper kit, 3 plates and 1 White special polish. I know you don't need to get special polish to make it work but I wanted to make comparison so I went ahead and get one anyway.

I am trying out the musical notes from Plate m73, I have to say my first trial FAILED MISERABLY lol. For some reason I was having a hard time getting the polish quick enough to transfer to the stamper. I practiced couple of times and the results you see is probably the most decent one. I know.....sad, right? xD well, I didn't expect it to turn out amazing on first try anyway, so I'll keep practicing hahaha

*my sister asked me what Ulzzang means so I took this picture to show her. Of course I don't do the crazy eyeliner thing because I think my eyes are already scarily big. Remind you, I don't normally don't do cutesy stuff so this is considered a gold dust =P*

So here's me, a Konad virgin supporting Ulzzang look.

Some asked me to do EOTD using my new Meow e/s, so I decided to pair them with another gorgeous light purple matte e/s from TMM.

Used:

Lips
SN Swept Away

Olive Orchid

This time I used my The She Space e/s from Custom Bar, I have to say I adore the olive green color : )

Used

Lips
SN Swept Away

Don't mind the ungroomed eyebrows and I didn't really mean to do FOTDs coz I'm still purging, I had to use a lot of lights to blind you guys from my bumps LOL

I personally like the 2nd one a little bit better, it's more wearable & the olive green is just gorgeous : ) What do you think?

Oh and this is a lip swatch of SN Swept Away, as I mentioned before it looks pink-nude on me (although it's more pink on the pic) but it would show up much more pink and pigmented for fairer ladies.

Hope you all like them ^_^

Silk Naturals New Blushes

I didn't expect the SN to arrive this soon but hey, what a pleasant surprise I got this morning when I found the package from NYC :)

These are my pretty color new blushes:

Lovelace: Medium Apricot Shimmer (NARS Deepthroat dupe)
Tart: Bright Pink Matte (Bobbi Brown Pink Raspberry dupe)
Carnal: Deep Plum Shimmer (NARS Sin dupe)
Babydoll: Hot Pink Shimmer (MAC Dollymix dupe)

These are sheer blush, and with the fact that I am pretty tan the color doesn't really pop in the picture (I guess that's good...I don't want a clown cheek hehe)

I am sooooooooo loving these colors, I mean I love Climax & Jamie too but these new blushes really stands out because the color payoff is just exquisite. Can't wait to try them :)

Note: I just wanted to add that Markey, the owner is Garden of Wisdom is an angel, she's so nice and remarkably helpful, I had some troubles with my payment for my last order and she really made time to guide me step by steps although I know she's uber BUSY doing everyone's order at the moment, she never let her single customer alone and always make them feel special.

So I just wanted to thank her and say that she's awesome. Her products is a top notch too, I think everyone should try :)

Gotta love GoW !!!!!!!

I'm such a Blush Whore =P
