Toilet Room Makeover

Budget Friendly Wednesday, November 16, 2016

Today, I feel really productive and I just felt like blogging about it.. I did the lawn yesterday (I know so boooring) because we just bought a lawn mower and I know I should've bought one a long time ago! I'm so stupid! But yeah, nothing fancy.. it's a manual type and it's not that expensive.

And I'm really happy 'coz normally doing just our front lawn would take me 2 days to finish using JUST garden shears! Sometimes, even a week! 'Coz I couldn't move my arms any longer. This made my housework a lot easier and I don't have to deal with body pains any longer! Plus, it's a great workout tool! Lol.

Anyways, I wanted to record it so I could post it on Youtube but I just took pictures 'coz it's nothing special.. I mean, I don't have any tips to share on Youtube. I don't even know what I was doing? Or if I'm doing it properly.. I was just mowing away~

I put some stickers to cover up some rubbish I forgot to put away before taking photos! Hehe..

Lawn's done! So what I am really excited about is our toilet room makeover! But I forgot to take 'before' pictures omg! Even though I have been meaning to start a Youtube channel about organizing and decorating.. I just keep forgeting to record or take pics because I'm so focused on getting things done! But anyway, here are the after photos of our toilet room~ I'll just tell you guys what I did after every picture~

This is our downstairs toilet room and what I did is I bought a toilet lid cover and a mat which were a set and I also bought some tissue paper holder cover. Then I got a shelf and installed it on top of the toilet and I also bought the cute box sitting on top of the shelf which will hold my sanitary pads in the future. Then I just incorporated some of the stuff we already had like the plants and the wood it's sitting on.. and the little easle with japanese quotes on it.

I did the same on our upstairs toilet room except we already had the My Melody theme going on here~ Hung a shelf, put in a cute little box on top for storage + display and bought a slim trash bin/toilet brush holder on the left. The cute rose frame was a present from my husband when we were dating and I thought it looked good on the space but my husband is kinda not liking the idea so I think I might change this up~ This is not the final results anyway, I bought more stuff on the way and I'm really excited for the aroma diffusers I bought which would look perfect throughout our home! Especially in our toilet room!

Another great thing about this makeover is our genkan looked really neat afterwards 'coz all of the stuff I used to decorate our two toilet rooms are all displays here on our genkan and I know that's a lot of stuff! So overwhelming.. but yeah, thank God it's now clear! It looks really nice when you enter our home although I really need to change the picture! Nobody wants to see me and my husband kissing right off the bat when they enter our home! Lol.

Again, no 'before' photos! Urgh.. I'm such a failure!

Shaaanxo Make Up Palette Review

BH Cosmetics Wednesday, November 09, 2016

Today we're going to review this beautiful Shaaanxo palette!

First and foremost this is what we're going to do.. well, I'm going to do.. I'm gonna take a picture of this beautiful palette and will give you time to appreciate its beauty. Then, I'll do a swatch and tell you guys what I think about the this beautiful palette. Btw, I sound so bias 'coz I already watched a lot of reviews before even buying this so I already know I'm gonna like it but we'll see if this beautiful palette approves my standards. Lol.

BEHOLD!

I got it for $12.50 ('coz sale) but it now costs $14.50. Isn't it purrty? Hmmm?

Here are the swatches!

I'm gonna start from the upper left up to the last~

#nofilter

The colors are very pigmented, not powdery at all and it has some sort of creamy consistency. There are only 4 matte shadows in this palette and the rest are shimmery. And my favorite of all you guys! This is why I bought this palette in the first place because of this gorgeous color! I don't know if you'll like it but I LOVE IT! It looks kinda bronzy from the swatch and it looks kinda green in the palette because it's a geochrome you know, it changes color and I think that's pretty cool! And I love it so much omg.. I wanna wear it all the time even when I'm asleep!

I mean look at that? Is it bronze? Is it green? THAT SHINE! SO SHINY!

As for the lip swatches, I took these lip swatches after doing this look

'coz I figured it'll be better to swatch 'em on my lips rather on my arms.

I didn't get to number the pics 'coz I was so lazy but the swatches start from the

bottom left up to the bottom right

I really like the lip pallette~ they're very creamy and easy to apply although my application isn't the best. I do find that the 6th color stains the lips but it's okay 'coz I do love lip stains and I really like the stain it leaves. Lip swatching on the lips is hard! Lol. I can't believe it took me an hour and a half to swatch these but yeah.. I do really like 'em! I can't believe they're only TWELVE DOLLUZ!

I LOVE THIS PALETTE SO MUCH YOU GUYS! That I used it for this look! I used everything from the Shaaanxo palette~ but what bugs me is that you can't see how pretty the eyeshadow is from the pictures! I guess you have to see me in person so you'd know that I'm not lying! The geochrome one really is the bomb!

I guess you could see it a little bit?

But you can't see it here!

These are the colors I used for this look btw~

if you want an everyday, glamorous, housewife make-up why this look is for you!

Overall, I LOVE THIS PALETTE AND I'M SO HAPPY I BOUGHT IT! I can't say nothing bad about it 'coz the packaging is great! You get a lot for $12.50 but they're now at $14.50 but BHCosmetics does a lot of sales and last I saw this it was 11 dollarz you guys, just wait for the prices to drop! Lol. So yeah, this is good stuff! The cheap good stuff y'know?! 😂 Kbye!

BH Cosmetics Liquid Lipstick Review

BH Cosmetics Wednesday, November 02, 2016

It's been 21 days since I last blogged.. according to Wordpress! And that's because nobody reads my posts anymore so it's kind of depressing to post content when nobody reads it but me! Lol. Anyways, I wanted to keep blogging even once or twice a month before I keep playing too much steam games that I forget about blogging again..

So yeah, today I'm going to review BH Cosmetics' Liquid Lipsticks!

Top to bottom: Clara, Muse (My fave!), Serena (The color everyone loves!) aaand Sandy

Here's what the applicator looks like and this is in the shade Sandy~

Here's what they look like on my lips!

#nofilter

So you could see how it really looks like!

The price of these are $11 each but I got 'em for $8.50 and BH Cosmetics often do sales and I watched a review on Youtube where she got it for only $6.50 but I didn't wait 'coz I'm impatient and guess what? Colourpop decided to do free international shipping for $50 worth of purchase! Urghh.. but anyway, I didn't regret getting these because I got a lot of compliments using these lippies especially the shade 'Serena'. Everybody loved that shade! Even my husband loves it on me and he doesn't like me wearing lipstick! Lol. My bestfriend loves all the shades I own that she also bought 4 for herself!

Pros:

♥ They're cheap! You could even get it for free shipping using the right Coupon code!

I used 'VALPAK'

♥ Easy to apply, one coat is enough!

The lighter shades I own which is Sandy and Serena aren't even blotchy.

♥ It's extremely matte! No transfers at all!

♥ It's not that difficult to remove

♥ Dries fast!

Cons:

✗ It's kind of drying.. so it's best to put on some lipbalm first.

✗ For a liplicker like me it doesn't last long..

but if you're not a liplicker maybe this'll last you all day 'coz it did say long lasting? Hehe..

Overall, I love the lipsticks! I really recommend them and to be honest I bought ~~fake~~ matte lipsticks before and omg these lippies changed my life! Never again will I buy ~~fake~~ products! I love all the shades go check out their site and no I'm not sponsored! (I wish! Lol.) Sign up to Ebates to get Cashback while you shop! I haven't tried Colourpop's Ultra Matte Lipsticks yet but it's coming! And I'll be happy to do a review in the future and compare these two because I watched several videos on Youtube saying that BH Cosmetics Liquid Lipsticks are more drying than Colourpop's while some prefer BH Cosmetics' Liquid Lipsticks rather than Colourpop's so I'm really excited to get my hands on the Colourpop Ultra Matte Lips so I can compare the two! Until then~ Bye~
