Throwback Thursday: Everything Valentine

Hello Thursday all! I hope you're all doing well and taking care of yourselves. Unlike me, somehow I got sick and have been in the most crankiest of moods since yesterday. Although I feel somewhat better now, I shouldn't be pushing it. Boooo for being sick!!
Before I get on with today's throwback post, I want to show y'all a video I came across last night. It had me bawling my eyes out...

Anything that has to do with parents, their hardships and sacrifices will get me so emotional. I bawled like a baby. So give it a watch and let me know if it had the same effect on you as well.
So like I said, today's post will be another throwback, all things, everything Valetnine related. I am hoping that I will feel well enough tomorrow so I can create a Valentine's Day makeup look for y'all. I'm crossing my fingers because I am really looking forward to it.
So here we go!

Manicure Monday: Valentine's Day 2015

Hello Monday everybody! How was your weekend? Too short? Yeah... so was mine. Haha. Definitely cannot wait until the weekend is near again. Wooo!!
Can anyone tell me what this Saturday is? Well, for some, it is Valentine's Day while to others, it is also known as the Single's Awareness Day. Hahaha. Either way, there are plenty of chocolates and/or candies to go around for everyone, and everyone likes their sweets right? Another year that I will not be celebrating V-Day, last year being the first and this year being the second. But it's alright, it doesn't bother me because I am all for the festivities anyways. I will not be celebrating does not mean I cannot get into the holiday spirit. :P
Which is what this post is all about!! My manicure this week is totally V-Day inspired, pinks and reds and loads of hearts. So no mater if your single or taken, let's just beautify our nails for US! Yeah!!

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
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! :)

Manicure Monday: Valentine's Day Nails

Valentine's Day or Singles Awareness Day, haha, is upon us once again. Believe it or not, it crept its way back without us really realizing it. Well, maybe you have noticed it thanks to the stores putting out Valentine things in mid-December. But anywho, whether you'll be out celebrating with a special someone or just at home relaxing having some alone "me time", you can still get your nails done.
