How to clean your tarnished jewelry!

So buying cheap jewelry has it's ups and down. Once it starts to tarnish and get all dirty 
looking, usually you'd stop wearing it. BUT WHY WHEN YOU CAN MAKE IT LOOK ALL 
BRAND NEW AGAIN! ;)

Here's what you will need:

- Your dirty ass jewelry (lol)


- Toothpaste [the special ingrediant! ;)]

So let's get crackin! 

1. Apply some toothpaste on your hands or fingers


2. Rub the toothpaste onto your jewelry with your palms and fingers


3. Rinse with water


4. Dry it with a towel


and voila!

*Tip: You can skip the step where you rinse it with water and simply just apply the 
toothpaste onto a towel and rub the jewelry off that way as well if you find water could tarnish
the jewelry even more.


Hope you found this helpful! 

Thanks for reading and don't forget to follow!! <3 xoxo

Green thumb?? or.. fingers in this case!

Do your fingers ever turn green from wearing cheap rings from stores like F21? 

  
Well here's a way to prevent that! 
(lmao I was trying to sound like some sort of ad. fail.)

You will need 2 things

1. your rings of course 


and 2. clear nail polish!

It's really simple.. just apply a coat of the clear nail polish inside the ring 
and NO MORE GREEN FINGERS! :D



*Tip: also apply it around the ring as well to keep the silver from tarnishing. ;)

Hope you found this helpful! xoxo

Feeling Blue...

Blue eyeshadow can either look super tacky or beautiful.. either way it's that one color that 
bought attention to you when you were a little girl watching your mother put on her face... 

So today I thought I'd pull out the blue eyeshadow again! 
But I wanted to try something different, simple but fun.


After just playing around with some of my light blue shadows, I've realized that blue makes
your eyes really stand out and "pop". 


It's a really easy look to do, I used a light sky blue shadow on the lid and a darker sky blue 
shadow on the lashline as my liner and winged it out. Then I applied a light brown color on the
outer half of my lower lashline and a shimmery white shadow in the inner corners. Tightlined,
mascara/falsies and tada!


:) 
hope you try it out or something! XOXO

EOTD - Bronzed Look

I felt like doing a summery everyday look - so of course I gotta bring out the bronze and golds!
I didn't want to make this post because I couldn't take pictures of it until the end of the day so
the look wasn't as pretty as it was when I first finished it. I also couldn't seem to take good
pictures for some reason when I tried to so I got pretty frustrated.. but this is the best I could
do... I seriously need to get a good camera :( And also, I feel like I always have some sort of 
bronze, gold, brown look on lol. I dunno - the colors appeal to me cuz it's an everyday wear.
Whatever!

Anyways, this is what I came up with.
It's a like a bronze-y gold and brown shimmery look for the summer!


I'm so sad - I promise it looked better in person :( siiiiiiigh.

Anywho, this is what I mainly used for the colors! I know the colors look nothing like it in the
picture of the look - ARG. But I had the bottom right corner color on the lids, top right 
color in the crease and the bottom left in the outer "V"


I also added a bit of the top left color in the inner corner/tear duct area and pulled it up to
the other colors on the lid and then I added a matte white on top of that to mute out the 
shimmers and make it a bit brighter.

I lined my upper lashline with a brown cream eyeliner (Quo - Dark Chocolate)


 Late at night - I know I look terrible haha.
On my face, I have Revlon's PhotoReady Foundation in Medium Beige. I'm wearing
Rimmel's bronzer in Sun Queen (I think it's discontinued now but they have other bronzers
that are FAB!) And I also have a matte pink blush on by MAC in Pink Glow.

On my lippies I'm wearing Rimmel's Moisture Renew lipstick in Nude Delight. <3

Nails: China Glaze - Something Sweet <3



I'm sorry for the crap quality - better than nothing though right! =)

Super late OOTD

It's been awhile - I know. I've been sooo lazy! So here's a super delayed outfit of the day post! :)

I went out for dinner and had sushi at Daimasu and so this is what I wore..

I definitely could've dress up this look more, however I was only going out for dinner so it
wasn't no big deal - therefore I paired up the shirt with leggings (American Eagle) and
gladiator styled sandles (Aldo). 



As for the top, it's actually not even my size, I think it's a size or two up but I usually like to
wear super loose shirts. I think they're hella comfortable and super cute! Make it look like it's
form fitting by adding a belt! :)

This top is actually supposed to be worn in different way where it's not off the shoulder. It has
a string that you can pull to make the neckline tighter to be worn just as a regular loose top. I
loosened it up a bit and made it hang off the shoulder cause I think it's prettier :P

nail: China Glaze - Grape Pop

See the string? It's not really in the middle when I took the picture haha - oops. 

The top is from H&M and the belt is actually part of a black dress that I wore in one of
my OOTD. (click to see that post!) from Urban Behaviour.

Accessories - I kept it simple since the shirt was already loud. Wore regular gold hoop
earrings and a bow ring from F21.


And that's it! My OOTD's seem so boring.... I dunno.. sorry. Maybe I'll just keep it for the
special events.. but summer is coming so I think my outfits won't be as boring...? This is why
I've been so lazy to blog hahaha =/

PS. Thanks to all the new followers!! <3 I'm a nobody so when I get a new follower, it
makes me super happy :) It makes me want to blog more if I know there's people reading
hahaha. >.<

Thanks for bloggin! <3 - J.

OOTD & HAUL!!

SOOOOO I was only supposed to go to the mall with my friend when she had to exchange something and 
turns out.. we did more than that.. we shopped... I don't allow myself to buy anything since I'm broke :( :( 
LOL but I unleashed... hahaha!

Let's quickly start with my outfit of the day! My outfits are usually super simple because  I'm lazy hahaha and I
like to feel comfortable.. I hate going out somewhere and feeling uncomfortable - makes me feel like people
are watching for some reason. 

It was a bit chilly outside that day so I wore leggings and a cardigan on top of a long loose
coral top. 
I don't remember where I got the shirt.. but the cardigan is from Aritzia! And the flats are
from Aldo.

I didn't wear a necklace for some reason... so I only had my ring for my accessories (F21)

 

First stop: 

Sephora
(note: I am jobless at the moment so I'm hella broke therefore I was still being a good girl and
didn't spend too much :))


The first thing I got was this gel eyeliner by BUXOM by Bare Escentuals. It's an eyeliner that is formulated to help your lashes grow thicker, fuller and longer. It has vitamins A, C, and E; Honeysuckle; Jojoba Oil; Soy Protein; Tourmaline; and Biotin (vitamin B)! I apply my MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack almost pretty much everyday so I decided that I might as well try a new gel eyeliner that could possibly make condition my eyelashes as well as making them grow more dramatic! It is a bit pricey ($19) for only 2g of product but if it works out, I'm sure it'll be worth it. [Will def update on it when I finish my fluidline!]
 


When you open up the box, inside it has that flap that comes out - so cute lol!


Next thing I got was a sample size of the Benefit - Bad Gal Lash Mascara.

I'm still going through a lot of mascaras so I didn't think I would need a full sized one. Plus it's
just sooo much cuter when it's small hahaha!

The final last thing I got from Sephora is my favourite! I got a Nars Blush! I love their
blushes, and I've been eyeing this one since foreverrrr!



IRL, the color looks like a baby pink but then it can come off like a peachy color with
shimmers. It's so gorgeous!


Next stop:

Forever 21


I got a couple of accessories! And I love them all!

For some reason, I have some sort of obsession with animal things when it comes to
accessories - especially owls! I just always happen to find some sort of accessory with an owl!


I found this and it's the cutest fricking thing ever!!!!! I love it! Especially since my other owl necklace broke :(
 But the leaves dangles and it's just soo adorable! It hangs pretty low though, just above my belly button tehehe.

Next item also hangs quite low and at the same spot - also animal related.


How adorable!! Haha! It's so different, I have never seen fishies for accessories!! The diamond as the eye 
dangles as well lol! It's pretty big but I love it :) BIG MAKES A STATEMENT!!!!!
I also got this because I am in love with the Iphone/Itouch app - TapFish <3

AND just one more animal related accessory... This one is one of my faves though!


This one hangs right where my collarbone is and it's suuuuper pretty! Despite how I hate birds - actually owls
scares me too and I also think some fishies are ugly but when it's an accessory, it's just uuuber cute! LOL. 
Anyways, yeah this necklace is super pretty. :)

Last but not least.. MY FAVOURITE!


I got these hella adorable bow earrings!! I am obsessed with bows. I will buy anything and
everything that has a bow!!


Cute?!?! I think so tehehe ^___^

Last Stop: 
(however this was the day after.. but whatever)

London Drugs

I wasn't feeling happy so I decided to go for a walk.. I wish I took a picture of my OOTD but I didn't..
it was less boring.. eh my bad! :P
Anywho, so on my walk I ended up going to London Drugs since I really needed to get eyelash glue and no 
other drugstore had the one that I wanted.. and I didn't want to spend too much money on more drugstore
products so I didn't pick up too much.

First thing I picked up was my all time favourite eyelash glue <3


The DUO dark tone eyelash adhesive! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this!!! I swear it dries faster than
the transparent one and I love that it dries black so it looks like eyeliner!!

I also gotta pick up one of my favourite eyelashes as well right?


Definitely one, if not most favourite eyelashes ever. :)

I picked up some manicure sticks aka "orange sticks"... I have no clue why they're called "orange sticks" =/


But I like to use these for applying a bit of eyelash glue on them so I can quickly touch up the ends of my eyelashes if they start to lift!

Last but not least, (I like to save the best for last if you haven't noticed. :P) I got a lipstick!


I purchased the Revlon Matte Lipstick in Pink Pout.
Okay, first off I would like to say that I also own the Nude Attitude in this collection and I
absolutely HATEit. It makes my lips look hella cakey and dry and gross.. no matter WHAT I do. 

However, I am loving this lipstick! 
The color is super pretty - it's like a pink with a purple undertone to it. This one doesn't make
my lip look as cakey and dry! I kinda like it matte too :)



The only downfall is that it makes my teeth look a lot more yellow :( :( :( :(

That's it! NO MORE SHOPPING FOR ME! Until I get a job once again.. LOL. >.<
 This was fun tehehe, hope ya'll found it fun too :)


SAVE MONEY! :P
