Today's Make Up: "Eye on Neutral" for the "Beauty Queen"

Hello, hello Saturday my lovely readers! Hope you are all having a fantastic weekend by far. It is always the same with me, always be busy, busy with something. This week, we have an extravagant birth party for my baby cousin, she turns two! I'm not sure if I should look forward to it or not, cause ya know, the terrible twos stage. *shiver*
Her mom, my aunt even flew back from Nebraska for the event. So yeah, it will be huge. As is with all Asian events, we do things ourselves. LOL. All the women gather and lend a helping hand. I was sucked into it, obviously. So yes, this is my life story for today.
On the bright side though, there are abundant amount of food just waiting to be devoured later. It is seriously so hard to diet being apart of this family.. Controlling oneself is already a challenge around here. Haha.
But yeah, full face of makeup for today. Something comfortable and low maintenance, something like a BB Cream, nude eyes and rosy, neutral lips.

HUGE City Color Haul

City Color Haul
Saturday Greetings! How was your Friday night? Hope you had an enjoyable night. Now it is Saturday, the start  of the weekend. While you're enjoying your weekend, here's a haul post from City Color. My order came in at the beginning of the week but I didn't have time to sort them and what not until yesterday.
You'll probably notice that most of the items are blush and lip products. Unfortunately, their eye products and other face products didn't appeal to me and I didn't want to force myself to purchase things I did not have a 100% satisfaction for. Maybe if it's from a store where I physically bought it, that way I can physically return it if I do not like it. I hate sending things back and forth through mail, you just don't know what can happen.

February iPsy Bag: The Look of Love

My gosh, has it really been a month already? It just seemed like yesterday and some days ago that I was writing about the January Bag. But anyway, my February bag actually came last week, but there was a mishap with the Zoya nail polish, sigh, such a shame. But no use to cry over spill nail polish because they sent me a replacement bag and that came yesterday!
To no surprise, this month's theme is Valentine's Day, iPsy called it, The Look of Love.
February iPsy Bag: Look of Love
This month's V-Day themed bag include:
Pop Beauty Plump Pout Mini in shade Peony Petal (Full Size)
Zoya Nail Polish in Dot (Full Size)
City Color Be Matte Blush in Fresh Melon (Full Size)
Tini Beauty Eyetini Cordial Cream Shadow + Base in One in Ambrosia (Full Size)
IPKN NY Moist and Firm BB in Light (Sample)
I am super excited I finally get to try IPKN's new BB cream! IPKN stands for Independent Professional Knowledgeable New Yorker; I do believe it is a Korean brand just pursuing the New York Style.  I've only seen this brand on sites selling Korean make up, so this is the first time I see it elsewhere. I am always on the hunt for a good BB cream, and this claims to moisturize, heals damaged skin cells and scars, leaves a non-sticky matte feeling with no powder necessary. Hmm...interesting. Upon reading further into this product, I am getting mixed reviews, some says it is too yellow, orange and dark for their skin tone even though it was a Light, another had an allergic reaction to it, making her skin "itch like crazy". Nothing better than to test it out myself.
Heard nothing but good feedbacks with City Color. I am crossing my fingers and hoping that the blush will show up on my skin as it does in the pan. The color is just so beautiful!
I first heard of Tini Beauty through iPsy. What I got is basically a "revolutionary formula" of a cream shadow with a primer in one.  This claim really intrigues me and makes me really antsy to try it out. "sets to a transfer-resistant finish that doubles as a wear-extending base under powder shadow". We. Shall. See.
I'm a huge fan of Pop Beauty, but not so much of
lip plumpers. I'm not too crazy to try this out even though this "pout perfector" claims to combine "high-shine of a lacquered gloss with the long wear of a stain and is packed full of lip-plumping peptides". This just isn't my thing, but I will still try it out to see if it lives up to its claim. I got shade Peony Petal, the darker shad of the two that iPsy subscriber could have received.
Swatches from Left to Right: Eyetini Cream Shadow + Base in Ambrosia, Pop Beauty Plump Pout Mini in Peony Petal, City Color Be Matte Blush in Fresh Melon

I own a few Zoya nail polishes, love all the shades, love how it applies. I really like the color that I got. Maybe I will wear this this week. Check up my upcoming Manicure Monday post to see if I do.
Reason why my February iPsy was delayed...sigh...such a waste!

I keep forgetting to update you guys on the products, like last month's bag. Ugh, sorry guys. I'll be on it this month. Pinkie promise.
Thanks for reading guys! :)
