Great for Summer… light weight, tinted lip balms with sun protection! These babies are a definite must-have for summer. If you’ve haven’t heard about Maybelline Baby lips tinted lip balms, then you’ve been literally living under a rock with very bad lips! It’s a moisturizing lip balm with a spf 20 sunscreen, which is suprisingly kind of rare…the spf. They claim that they are clinically proven to improve lip dryness, lip texture and improve how supple your lips look after four weeks of use. It comes in 6 shades total, 4 tinted (peach kiss, pink punch, grape vine, & cherry me) and 2 w/o tint (quenched and peppermint). They are also all nicely scented! So yummy! Shown below: Cherry Me, Grape Vine, Pink Punch & Peach Kiss Maybelline Baby Lips Swatches On Arm Cherry Me, Grape Vine, Pink Punch & Peach Kiss Maybelline Baby Lips On Lips (Pictures below are….top without flash & bottom with flash) *** *** *** Maybelline Lip Balms not featured above…Peppermint and Quenched. These are not tinted. Maybelline products can be found in most drug stores……but finding Maybelline Babylips can be harder than first thought. So, if you see them and want to try them…grab them right away. They’re about $3 dollars each. The lady at the drugstore said, they just can’t keep up with the demand for this product. They’re light and just enough, not waxy and they give me just enough color for those days that I...

New Kawaii Characters to LOVE from SAN-X Hello Kitty move over just a little. I still love Hello Kitty but my new crush or crushes are Rilakkuma, Korilakkuma and little Kiiroitori! They are from San-X, very similar to Sanrio. There are more characters from San-X but these are my faves right now. I might be the last person on earth to be aware of them, but if I am not……I am happy to introduce them to you. BTW, these are folders just to organize papers. They are so adorable!

Audrey Hepburn is my all time favorite fashion and style ICON! I just love all her movies…. My favorites are Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Paris When it Sizzles, Funny Face and Sabrina!!!! (Breakfast At Tiffany’s) Her style and her charisma is just so endearing. Everyone who watches her movies will and does adore her. She is long gone but her films keep her alive. If you never saw any of her films, I encourage you to watch one of her classics, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, you will not be disappointed. The clothes, her style and the character she plays just makes for a mar……ve…lous film, Dar……ling! Audrey Hepburn Style in Video

Konad Stamping Nail Art

Girl Accessories by Iwa — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 22:45:05 +0000

I cannot express how impressed I am with the Konad Stamping Nail Art Set. It is pretty AMAZING! The possible nail art designs are endless. It is just a simple product that is so affordable, easy to use with just AMAZING results! I know amazing, amazing, amazing…it is truly amazing! This is what you need to start… Stamping kit Stamp plate Stamping Polish Konad Stamping Sets (Konad Double Side Stamp Set) To get started making designs on your nails, you’ll need a stamper set(stamper and scraper), stamping plates and nail polishes(that you can use for stamping). All these products are sold separately and in sets as well. I recommend buying it separately, you get exactly what you want and it seems just cheaper to buy that way to me. The Konad stamper sets ranges from $3-5 dollars, which is just crazy cheap. I got mine at Amazon.com but you can get it in most drugstores…as it’s becoming more and more popular. Although, I haven’t seen it in Wal-mart just yet. (Konad Stamping Nail Art Set) This is another Konad Stamper Set. The only difference this one has with the Konad Double Side Stamp Set is that it has just one side to stamp with and a shorter handle. On the double sided one, the green side is much smaller which is a nice option to have for smaller nails like children’s nails. Konad Stamping Plates You do need stamping plates to make your designs! They come in these little round mirror plates with very small...

Tiger Nail Art! Tiger print nail art is a great look to bring out a little of the wild side in you. Using an artist brush and a few easy brush strokes, you can get a one of a kind, custom “wild” nail design. Wild animal prints such as the tiger, leopard, zebra, cheetah & more are all the rage. It’s a simple design, easy to do that can really update your look. Products used Jessica Nail Polish in Sable NYC Long Wearing Nail Polish in Black Lace Creme Artist brush Tiger Nail Art Video

L’oreal Lineur Intense Liquid Eyeliner

Girl Accessories by Iwa — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 20:51:48 +0000

L’oreal Lineur Intense Liquid Eyeliner L’oreal Lineur Intense Felt Tip Liquid Eyeliner in carbon black is a great eyeliner. It is a drugstore eyeliner which runs about $8-9. It is one of my top picks for a liquid eyeliner overall in both department stores and drugstore. I find it comparable to Lancome’s Artliners, which runs about $29. If you are looking for a more affordable option, this eyeliner really delivers. I’ve been looking for a dupe and this is it. L’oreal Lineur Intense Liquid Eyeliner Best Features There are many good features about this product but what I find is it’s best feature is its ease of use. The applicator is just like a pen, so you can hold it well and get a good line, like your drawing. The felt tip on the applicator makes the liquid glide on smoothly, creating nice and smooth lines. (image above……light, medium and a heavy line) Using the L’oreal Lineur Intense Liquid Eyeliner you can get a versatility of line thickness which is great. You can get a thin line for an everyday look or a thicker line for a more dramatic look. You can play and get real creative like creating the cat eye look, which I love to do. Lining the eye to create a finer line, you need to use just the tip of the applicator using a soft even stroke right up against the lash line. You may even need to wipe your applicator off a little before you start...

Long and Strong Nails

Girl Accessories by Iwa — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 03:18:24 +0000

Long and Strong Nails To get long and strong nails, you need the help of nail treatments, both a nail strengthener/hardener and a nail moisturizer/conditioner. The nail needs strength to keep it from breaking and it needs moisture to give it flexibility when it is bending. The idea is to achieve a healthy balance of the two. If the nail is too hard, it can crack because it lacks the moisture . And if the nail is too soft, it can rip or tear easily because it lacks the strength. Both a nail strengthener/hardener and a nail moisturizer/conditioner are essential in nail care if you want strong, healthy, and long nails. Nail Treatments that Promote Long and Strong Nails Top 5 Nail Moisturizers/Conditioners(cuticle oil or creams) (used also on the nail not only on the cuticles) Burt Bee’s Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream Creative Nail Design Solar Oil Sally Hansen’s Cuticle Massage Cream Lush lemony flutter cuticle cream Sally Hansen – Maximum Growth Cuticle & Nail Moisture Treatment Pen(a plus for the convenience and ease of use) Top 5 Nail Strengtheners/Hardeners Quimica Alemana Nail Hardener Mavala Nail Hardener Nail Magic Nailtiques – Formula 2 OPI Nail envy *A Warning about Nail hardeners Nail Hardeners do work, thats why we keep using them, BUT majority of nail hardeners are and can be very harsh on the cuticle and the skin around the nail. To prevent this, avoid getting it on the cuticle area and the skin around the nails. You can also just apply these nail...
