SAMPURE MINERALS | Nail Polish - Harmonic Tan Review

I tend to avoid nude and tan lipsticks, nail polishes or just nude/tan anything because they make me look washed out and just do not look good with my skin tone. But I was really intrigued by this nail polish Sampure Minerals sent me because I don't own anything similar to this colour. Their polishes also won the Pure Beauty Awards 2016, so it must be really good right? Let's see how it performs!

► Product

I received the polish in their Nail Polish Set 1, which comes with 3 different shades - Harmonic Tan, Raspberry Cupcake and Juicy Pomegranate. You can also get this individually too~

It comes with 11ml of product. It has a flat brush applicator so you can apply the polish with precision. As alway, Sampure Minerals' products are cruelty free, halal certified and vegetarian certified.

► Swatch

I applied two coats of polish. The polish is pigmented so even though it's a light colour one coat is enough. However I did find the first coat to be a bit streaky, applying a second coat smoothed it out for an even glossy finish. I haven't tried their other shades yet so I can't say if it is the same for the other shades.

The shade is a neural toned tan that's not too cool or pinky. I really like the stone undertone it has!

► Overall

Overall I am digging this shade! This is the perfect tan shade for me! It's a unique shade, I haven't seen anything like it. I love the flat brush, as it make applying the polish so much easier and faster. As I mentioned before, the first coat was slightly streaky so you will need to apply two coats. Which I don't mind since I normally apply two coats anyway. But if you're not a fan of that and you're still interested in the polish, I recommend you to go to a Sampure counter to try it yourself and their other shades. ^^

Rating: 7/10

Date Night Outfit | In The Style: Adela Stripe Playsuit

I was browsing through Charlotte Crosby's clothing line with In The Style, as she has recently launched a active-wear line with them and found this little gem~ (and yes I'm a Geordie Shore fan! Oi oi, Any Geordie fans here?) I absolutely adore this playsuit! Added it to my basket the second I saw it #InstaBuy. Sadly this isn't part of Charlotte's collection, though she does have one that's very similar to this with the bow tie waist detail and multi colour stripes. The only differences is that Charlotte's playsuit is Teal and Tan coloured, where as the In The Style's one is Red Wine and Navy coloured.

This is such a great piece in your wardrobe for dinner dates or girly nights going out. The tie waist makes accentuates the curves nicely. Due to the stripes being vertical, it also makes your body appear more slim/taller. ^.< Pop on some red lippy (I wore Shiseido's Perfect Rouge Lipstick in Sweet Pea - Review here) and your favourite pair of black heels and you're good to go~

Do You Like Messi? #MessiChallenge | Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo

Just a little study break and because I love the Korean Drama Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo (역도요정 김복주) so much, I decided to do the Messi Challenge and see if it works~ The Messi Challenge was all over my Twitter feed and Messi was even trending on Philippines's Twitter. Nice work guys! ^.< Story / Drama Scene behide the Messi Challenge:

If you want a more detailed understanding of the story then I recommend you to read AsiaStarz article - Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo’ fans trend ‘Messi’ on Twitter. Or you should just watch the drama ASAP, if you're not already! Some of you may be like wtf and are asking to the same question as Joon Hyung (Nam Joo Hyuk)...

anddd... I think it would be quite funny if Messi ever found out that people were asking their crushes if they like him~ :')

Have you watched Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo? ^^ and of course the main thing I want to know - have you asked your crush if they like Messi yet? xD

Shiseido | Perfect Rouge Lipstick RD304 Sweet Pea Review

Do I really need another lippy? Y.E.S, Well it was actually gifted to me but a girl can never have enough lipsticks aye. ^.< Also this is my first Shiseido cosmetic item and i've got to say i'm quite impressed~

► Packaging

The lipstick comes in a sturdy metal tube, love it! Great for travelling as the packaging won't get scratch and tacky like plastic ones. It's also very sleek and compact. Only down side is that the case has some groves in it, so it need to be lined up before you can click the cap into place.

► Swatch:

Sweat Pea is a lovely rosy red colour. The lipstick is surprisingly pigmented, it goes on sheer at first but you can build it up to full opacity which I really like. Currently my go to lippie for creating a Korean gradient lips look. It has very fine shimmer in it, which is not noticeable when worn on the lips but it gives off a satin like appearance.

The lipstick glides onto the lips like butter, the formula is amazingly smooth and moisturising. It wears for 3-5 hours before I need to touch it up. There's no taste or any scent. It doesn't feather but it does transfer when eating etc, which is expected.

► Overall:

Overall I really like it~ It's very moisturising and comfortable to wear, which is such a nice change from using matte liquid lipsticks everyday. Love how classy the colour is. Definitely a lovely treat, I recommend this and rate it 8/10.

Have you tried any Shiseido products?

FSJ Shoes | Wishlist

I've been discovering more online shoe stores recently and came across FSJ Shoes. What I really like about is FSJ Shoes is that not only is there a range of styles for you to chose from but they also have have a custom shoe service so you can make a request and get the perfect pair shoes made for you. Anyway after browsing through their site, I fell in love with a few pair of shoes and decided to put them into a wish list post, so here we are admiring shoes~

1) Leila Black Wedge Vintage Lace-up

These are my perfect everyday shoes! I love oxford and brogue shoes as they dress up and pull an outfit together nicely. Especially ones with a platform style since it's more casual, yet while still maintaining that classy edgy vibe. Not to mention it gives me that additional height I lack!

2) Claret Red Lace Chunky High Heel

Love love love these! NEED THEM IN MY LIFE. The lace is everything! They're just so elegant and classy, would be amazing for a dinner date. Haven't seen heels similar to these before, so I really like that they're unique and not basic. ^.<

3) Leila Black Ankle Straps Bow Stiletto Heel

This would not be a fashion blogger's wish list with out a pair of ankle strap heels! I swear every blogger owns a pair ankle strap heels~ I like how these heels are simple and feminine due to the cute bow.

4) Leila Black Chiffon Ankle Buckle Stiletto Boots

This is one for all my edgy girlies! Booties with a combo of a classic ankle strap and T style strap. I think these would look stunning on night out and deffo paired with a little black dress.

Thats it for my shoe wish list! Hope you guys liked it, tell me which pair of shoes is your favourite in the comment section down below~
