Kate Spade New York Mikas Pond Stacy

Happy Sunday! How was your week? Some of you might have started school already and I hope you had a great first week :)

So I was looking on Kate Spade New York website and I just clicked on the Mikas Pond Stacy wallet and saw this gorgeous color immediately! I was like OMG I have to get this. I don't know if it is just me, the color on the website always look so different in person and I am kind of worried of buying it online and got the wrong color I wanted. I was going to Chicago the next day anyways so I was just gonna see in person in the store and buy it but too bad the Kate Spade store in Chicago doesn't carry this beautiful color. The first thing I got home that night was order this gorgeous wallet. I got a 15% discount code, I made my boyfriend sign up for Kate Spade newsletter and got the discount code lol. So I got this for only $85. What a deal! 

I seriously think Kate Spade has the best online shopping service. I ordered it on Saturday night and guess what, they started to ship my order the next day, yes on Sunday! And I received the wallet in 2 days which is on Tuesday. It literally took only 2 business days to order, confirm, ship and deliver. The packaging was so nice. My wallet was wrapped nicely in hot pink tissue and guess what, there was another 15% discount card in it! LOVE Kate Spade New York <3

The wrapping

More 15% discount card!!!

This wallet is so much more gorgeous in person. I'm so glad I ordered it. The color is so beautiful. It is the perfect Tiffany blue shade that I wanted. I put it next to the Tiffany and Co. box and both colors match! And the color is exactly the same as on my laptop screen. It is made from cross embossed leather like the one Prada has but way cheaper. I like the leather because it doesn't get scratched easily. The interior is cotton twill with polka dots which makes it so much cuter. I'm so satisfy with my purchase.

It matches the Tiffany blue box color <3

This wallet is actually smaller than I thought but that's not a big deal. I was gonna get a smaller wallet anyways. My old one was too bulky, that's why I picked a fold wallet instead of a zipped around one. It has 12 card slots, 4 bill slots, a clear ID slot and a zipper slot for coins. I read a lot of reviews of this wallet saying the wallet doesn't close when you have all the cards in the slots. It actually doesn't happen on me. My wallet close nicely and it stays pretty like how I first got it!

I am very satisfy with my purchase and love the color so much!

Gorgeous

The interior, isn't it cute?

Manicure: Tiffany and Co. © French Tip

Happy Tuesday everyone! How was your first day of school?

Everyone was busy preparing for school and I feel very weird that I'm no longer in school. I can't believe I'm saying this, I miss going to school. 

Alright, back to nails, I'm really into this Tiffany and Co. © shade lately, let's just call it Tiffany blue. It has been my favorite color for a while but I seriously fall into this color now, like real bad. Everything I got past couple weeks was in Tiffany blue, literally like everything. Seriously I think I can do a post purely on stuffs I got in Tiffany blue. That is actually a great idea isn't it? I just thought it is a very lovely, fresh and youthful color.

I decided to keep it simple this time and french tip was the first that came to my mind. I wanted something different than regular french tip because I have done that couple times. So I was browsing Tiffany and Co. © website and this came across my mind. I was like why not to top another coat of Tiffany blue on a regular french tip nails? And ta-dah, this is how I thought of the Tiffany and Co. © inspired nails. It is simple yet classy. French tip will never go too crazy and it is always good for every event even job interview.

So I painted my nails with 2 coats of Rimmel French Manicure Pro in shade 140 French Rose, such a pretty name, the color is so sweet too. It is a very light nude pinkish color. I then taped my nails with my double eyelid tapes, you can use any tape, just cut it to match the shape of your nails, I was just too lazy to cut out the shape and double eyelid tape has the arch I wanted. I topped it with a coat of Pure Ice in shade Super Star!. I got this white color nail polish at Walmart and it is very affordable. I believe I only paid less than $2 for that. It has decent amount of products too. Of course, not to forget my favorite Tiffany blue color from China Glaze in shade For Audrey. I got it from Amazon for like $5 including shipping which I think it is really cheap. I actually found a better Tiffany blue color from Essie, but I just don't feel like paying $8 for a bottle of nail polish. I personally think China Glaze For Audrey is very close to what I wanted. Last but not least, I applied a coat of Sally Hansen 

Strengthening Top Coat. This top coat seriously does its job. My nail polish lasted so much longer when I use it.

Thank you so much for reading I hope you guys like it. Have a great week ahead!

Review and Swatches: NARS Lipgloss in Orgasm

Hi everyone, happy Wednesday!

So I can't wait to try out this awesome NARS Lipgloss that I have heard so much about it. I am not a big fan of lip products, I am more like a nude lips person. I usually go out with just bare lips or concealed lips and a thin layer of Vaseline petroleum jelly to keep my lips moisturize. But I wanted to top some colors on my bare or nude lips to look more refresh and less sick.

I went on Sephora website and checked out different kinds of lip products which suit me the best. There are tons. I didn't know which should I get so I'm thinking of hmm maybe just a lipgloss because it can be very pigmented if you pick a good one and it also keeps my lips moisturize. I think lipstick will be too dry for me as I always have chap lips. So I picked up this NARS Lipgloss in Orgasm. *blush* 

NARS Lipgloss in Orgasm

Sponge wand applicator

There are 23 shades of lipgloss ranging from transparent to deep red, with or without shimmer. I picked the peachy pink color with gold shimmer in it. I was debating of getting Orgasm or Super Orgasm. Super Orgasm has gold flecks in it which is what I actually wanted. I always think coral and gold is a great combination for lip color. So I swatched both color on my arm and Super Orgasm looks darker and more pinkish than Orgasm. I wish it has more gold flecks in the shade Orgasm. 

Peachy Pink with Gold Shimmer

It is a very sweet and girly color. It is one of the most popular shades for NARS Lipgloss. The gold shimmer makes your lips feel metallic instead of glossy and I love that. It is also very pigmented and you just need to apply one thin coat on your lips. The lasting power is good as if you skip all your meals in a day, not too impressive. I need a touch up every time after I eat. The packaging is very simple but classy. It is a glazed glassy little tube with rubberized holder.

The only two things I am not satisfy with this product is it smells weird. It has some sort of paint smell and I have never smelled in any beauty product. For some reason I thought it would have some sweet or candy smell. Other downside is I personally think the lipgloss is very sticky. I would definitely want something less sticky and lighter formula. 

Here are the swatches of the NARS Lipgloss in Orgasm on my lips. The first swatch I did was on my bare lips, only with a thin layer of transparent Vaseline petroleum jelly. Second swatch was on my half concealed lips. I applied BB cream on the outer lips to create a gradient look. Last swatch was on my full concealed lips. I put BB cream all over my lips to create a nude look. I topped the lipgloss to make my lips look less 'sick'.

Haul: Benefit, NARS, Topshop

Hi everyone! Happy Sunday. I hope you guys had a great weekend :)

I picked up some beauty products in Sephora and Topshop last week. I haven't had the chance to try them out yet so I will let you guys know if it is worth the hype soon. I might do some product reviews on these stuffs too probably in couple weeks so don't forget to check it out!

So I went to Topshop to shop for some clothes but ended up purchasing this metallic nail polish trio. It doesn't really show in the picture but the color is burgundy, orange glitter and bronze. I love these color so much and thanks my bf for choosing the color for me. I usually do manicure update every other week so you will definitely see these pretty colors on my nails in my future post.

I also went to Sephora and got these Benefit 'Gettin' Cheeky!' and NARS lipgloss in Orgasm. Benefit Gettin' Cheeky is only exclusive in Sephora. It has Posietint, Sun Beam and Chacha-tint in a little box. The packaging is so cute, trust me, Benefit always has the cutest packaging ever. They come in travel size and it is 0.3oz each. It is so convenient that you can just put it in your purse and get a touch up every couple hours. Posietint and Chacha-tint can be used as cheek tint or lip tint. The color is so bright and lovely. Posietint has a very petal pinkish tone and Chacha-tint has a coral based tone. Sun Beam is a medium golden toned liquid bronzer. 

The last product I picked up is the NARS lipgloss. It has 23 shades and I chose the shade in orgasm. It has a very 'blushing' name huh. I have seen a lot of bloggers or youtubers obsessed with this lipgloss and I wanna give it a try! I will definitely do a review on this lipgloss.

Manicure: Passion Orange and Romantic Pink

Hey guys! It's time for the nails again :)

I haven't gotten any new nail polishes in a while and I kind of run out of summer color. How could that be! I should go on a nail polishes shopping. So while I'm looking for new colors, I'm gonna play with some mix and match to create a new look but using the same colors I have been using the past months.

I wanted a summer-colored nails. I chose orangey red color and I added baby pink for some cuteness. This bright orangey red color nails is very versatile, it matches almost everything in my closet. It looks like candy color!!

OOTD: Studded Chiffon and Tribal ft. Minty Blue

Happy Sunday everyone! How was your weekend? 

I went to Chicago on Friday and this is the outfit of the day! It was kind of chilly in Chicago even though it is in the middle of summer. It was raining for a bit so I decided not to wear shorts. I got this pair of leggings couple days ago in Forever21. It was a great deal. Tribal print is the hit this summer/fall. I got compliments on the first day wearing them. It was super comfy too! It is great for class, running errands, taking flight or hanging out with your girl friends.

Of course, in the summer, you need to show off some skin so I paired it with a sleeveless chiffon studded top. I love love love this top. It is very flattered. The gold skeleton studs are so cute! The white chiffon top is very soft and comfy.

To accessorize the look, I wear a mint statement necklace, bangles and rings. Not to forget my favorite Michael Kors gold watch. It is always been my favorite. I want the mint statement necklace to be the focus of the look so I paired it with a black purse and white studded sandals.

Five Summer Concert Pairings

Hi everyone! How's your summer going? It's Lollapalooza weekend in Chicago!!

There are always tons of music festivals going on in the summer, from orchestra to electronic, all types of music. I am glad that I have the chance to share some summer concert pairings with you guys with different themes.

Yes, the weather in summer concerts is usually nasty. It is hot and humid. If you are going to an outdoor concert, you will definitely want to wear something light and comfortable, tank and shorts are probably the best option. Of course, a pair of comfortable shoes is a must have in summer concerts because you are gonna do a lot of dancing and jumping. So I would choose flats over heels unless I'm going to some concerts that have seating, for instance orchestral concert, then I'll dress up elegantly with sequin dress and a pair of gorgeous heels.

Oh most importantly, don't forget to use waterproof makeups! You are most probably gonna sweat like a piggy and you don't want your makeups to melt and drip over your face. That is a big no-no!

Alright, so here are some music festival pairings I'm gonna share with you: floral, chambray, spikey, tribal and lacey.
