New spring head-to-toes looks

There are 7 head-to-toes looks featured in this Vogue TV Style Radar video. It tells you what'd be the new spring essentials.

I really like the part of accessories, maybe because I like all kinds of earrings, necklaces, bracelets and purses. In my jewelry boxes (actually I have more than one and several drawers of accessories), I keep many earrings of various styles and necklaces that I bought from many places such as Japan, China, Thailand, Italian, Switzerland, Belgium and France, etc. How many earrings, rings, necklaces or accessories I have? Good question! I have never counted but must be hundreds.

Just like a typical woman, I love purses, handbags and shoes too. However, my current is too small to keep a big stock. After I have given birth to 2 children, the efforts and money have been invested on them partially. I think that I own about 40 pairs of shoes, over 20 handbags and purses at one time. Even now, I believe that I still have 2/3 now, maybe more.

Hope you enjoy the video and can find some inspiration about the spring trends.

Tokidoki Sodashop Tin - essential for a good eye-makeup kit

Are you a beauty junkie like me? 

I like to try every beauty and skincare product. When I was a little girl, I was always amazed by the appearance of TV actresses and movie stars. How can they look so glowing and beautiful?

Finally, I learn that it's their eyes that make these women so outstanding among the crowd. Not everybody born with a pair of charming big eyes with long slashes. But, we women can make use of cosmetics to "create" our own attractiveness.

I saw this tokidoki Sodashop Tin in Sephora site. It stocks with 12 eye shadows, a eyeliner, a nail file and tokidoki magnets. The 12 eye shadows include the most commonly used brown tone, the essential blacks for smoky eyes, the feminine purples and the basic highlight silver white. Plus the eyeliner, you basically get more than enough for a nice eye makeup.

The cute design of the tin box gives me an impression of being young and girly. It reminds me my golden old days.

One of my favorite nail polishes OPI

I have been using OPI nail polishes for a few years. Its extensive color choices always makes me so excited when I am in a Sephora store. I just cannot pick only 1 bottle and go. Most of the time, I end up buying several jars of OPI. What I like about OPI is its quality other than its color collections. With my work that requires a lot of typing and housework that requires washing, opening cans, picking stuff on the floor, the nail polish usually can end for almost a week. But most of the time, I change colors and reapply a new one after 3-4 days.

My 3-year-old girl likes me to apply nail polishes. She prefers pink and coral. I know that she will one day share my stock of OPI very soon.

A new cheek stain product

This new Hourglass Aura Sheer Cheek Stain has caught my eyeball and I am interested to see how it works with a sponge tip top. The shade that I received as an Vogue Influencer is Petal which is a light rosy pink color. The first time to apply it on the cheek is not easy and it is totally new, it takes a little bit time for the liquid to be absorbed by the sponge.

Pros:
1) It is subtle and light in color. You won't over-do.
2) The color is just so adorable.
3) Its shiny nature makes it also suitable for a night out.

Cons:
1) Since it is light and subtle, it takes quite a bit of time to get the preferred result.
2) The sponge is a bit rough on skin.

So far, I like this cheek stain and I will definitely recommend to my friends. Of course, I will use it myself.

Some of my beauty favorites

I like to try different products especially beauty merchandise. My current favorites: -

philosophy: 

1) purity facial cleanser - I can use this to wash off my makeup and clean my face at the same time. Do not need to use makeup cleanser first and it's not greasy. After washing my face, I feel so refreshed and pure. That's why it call purity ^-^
2) hope in a jar - smooth, smell good but no cheap sweet fragrance odor. I tried a sample pack first and loved it at the first trial. It's easy to apply, spread and made my skin so silky smooth.

3) apple cinnamon 3-in-1 shampoo, body wash & bubble wash - I can use one bottle to wash my hair and my body. The apple cinnamon is just good enough to give me a refreshing feeling but not too strong for me to feel like popping out from the oven as an apple pie.

Bare Essecentals:

1) Mineral powder - easy to apply and it is thin, I never feel myself wearing makeup. It's just like another layer of skin. I wash my face, put on moisturizer and then use the brush to spread the powder on my face and that's it. It takes 2 minutes and I am ready to go.

Burt's Bees:

1) Lip balm - I like its peppermint smell and it is so refreshing. But, the #1 reason for me to love it is its natural ingredients (most of Burt's Bee products are over 90% natural and the packages are usually eco-friendly). This lip balm is made of beesmax and other natural herbs. BB products usually are more expensive than the other brands but I think that it worth to pay extra for something natural and green.

2) Foot treatment set - it contains a coconut scrub and a lemon taste cream. It's so indulgent to use after a hard day of walking or standing. The portion of the set is large, possibly good for use of a year.
