L’Oreal Color Infallible Eye Shadows Swatches

After speaking to a few bloggers, it has come to my attention that the L’Oreal Color Infallible Eye Shadows are only available in Canada & UK right now. Since I have some of the collection, I thought it would be nice to swatch them for you all!

Infallible Eyeshadows contain ultra concentrated colour pigments, for an intense colour finish. Additional binders (oils) coat and magnify the colour pigments revealing beautiful shimmer and maximized colour. The colour adheres to the eyelid as durably and comfortably as a second skin and lasts for up to 24hrs.

Since I have nine shadows from this collection, this will be a picture heavy post.

All Night Blue
Rich Royal Blue

Unlimited Sky
Powder Blue

Hourglass Beige
Rich off white

Time Resist White
Pearl White

Forever Pink
Pearly Pink

Burning Black
Blacken Eggplant

Purple Obssession
Rich Purple

Permanent Kaki
Pearly khaki

Lastly.. Flashback silver
**Sorry I forgot to take a pic of the package**

These pigments are the cross between a powder and cream. Apparently, they last 24 hours without a primer.

I'll be posting a look with these shadows soon :)

Which one is your favorite!

Nail of the Day: OPI Extravaganza

Isn't this glitter fab!! 

OPI Extravaganza is a bold, orange glitter polish with added silver sparkle which was a part of the OPI Burlesque collection back in Winter 2010.

Here is a different pic with flash:

What do you think?

How much do you think this purse was?

Two weeks ago I spotted this baby hanging alone at one of my guilty pleasures store.  

I HAD to have it (like everything else in life) but when I seen the price I gasped.

So ladies guess how much this purse was!

I'll give you an updated post with the price..trust me..

You will be shocked!

Sea Buckthorn Facial Cleanser & Hydrating Serum= Love

When I'm stressed it shows up on my face. For the past six months I was doing quite well on my skin care journey...until my holy grail products finished. Ugh I can't begin to tell you how at 26 years old I wish I didn't have a blemish on my skin. I think all of this is payback for going 22 years blemish free. Yes.. You heard me!

I was one of the lucky ones who swore I'd be blemish free for life...but reality has set in :|

So far, I've been using Sibu Beauty Sea Buckthorn Facial Cleanser & Hydrating Serum religiously for over a month. 

Sea Buckthorn Facial Cleanser
This all-natural balancing facial cleanser gently removes dirt, impurities and make-up while maintaining a healthy balance in your skin without compromising its natural protective nutrients. 

Sea Buckthorn Hydrating Serum
This light, non-oily serum will flood your skin with moisture and help deeply hydrate your face and neck to eliminate that tight, dry feeling caused by dehydration. Natural sea buckthorn oils have proven to improve skin tone and texture, and help brighten complexion and stimulates cell renewal.


In one month, my pores have gotten smaller and my scars have faded slightly. Since pictures are better to show my progress. Here is a before and after shot:

Isn't that amazing! Anyone in need of  some quick skin assistance check out Sibu over at the Shopping Channel.

To Whiten or not to Whiten, that is the question

Hello.. my name is Jennifer and I love tea. 

I can go on about all the health benefits of tea, but i'm here to rant about the after effects.

DISCOLORATION!

I've tried those crest white strips but I'm too lazy to keep on doing them daily!

I'm thinking about getting a full teeth whitening just like Ande (seen below).  

I'm scared as hell for the after effects that I heard some people go through:
* Chemical burns from gel bleaching

* Pain
* Hot/cold sensitivity

My question for you is what type of teeth whitening products do you use/ have you used?
