The Good and The Forbidden

Marc Jacobs Daisy-Inspired Nails

September 18, 2014

While I don’t own the actual Marc Jacobs Daisy perfume, for sure I can try to emulate the look! The nail art based on the eau de parfum is inspired by the ever-so-lovely Elle & ish. I love her tutorials! And this one turned to be pretty easy to do. Not to mention, the overall result is so pretty!

What I used:
– Essie Topless & Barefoot (base)
– Essie Blanc (for the flower petals)
– Cirque Helios (for the center of the flower and accent finger)
– Medium-sized dotting tool

It’s quite straight forward. Just paint the base color, two coats. Then take Essie Blanc, drop a few drops of it on a piece of plastic or foil, take the dotting tool and start making flowers. I took the liberty of making several tryouts before putting them onto my nails. They’re still not perfect. But once I added the gold glitter in the middle, there you go, flowers!

Add a topcoat (Seche Vite) and I was done. I added another coat on the ring finger so that the gold glitter polish would really shine.

A side note, I LOVE Cirque Helios! The glitters are really dense and I can reach opacity in just two coats. How about that. It’s a topcoat eater though, so at least two to three coats are needed to get that full glittery, sparkly finish.

Because of the nude base and light colors, they are actually quite low-key yet, when you look closer, you’d be like “Aw, so cute!”.

I will certainly recreate these again someday, using different colorways (possibly with navy). They are beyond adorable!

BASIC SKINCARE ROUTINE

Cleanse – Hydrate – Moisturize – Protect (SPF)

Sunscreen at daytime, always.
Double Cleanse at night, a must!

Exfoliate regularly, as necessary, and don’t overdo it.
Don’t forget to use a Hydrating Toner after Exfoliating Acid Toner to prevent dryness and irritation.

Opt for calming and soothing products more than anything else. Pick gentle cleansers. Aim for hydration and moisture. Maintain the skin barrier.

Proper hydration and balanced moisturization are key to achieving a healthy skin, even if your skin is oily.

Always be gentle on your skin.

This could be the year for @lancomeofficial as the This could be the year for @lancomeofficial as the brand has been releasing great products with stellar formulations lately! After the Rénergie Triple Serum success on me, the Rénergie HPN Cream really becomes the cherry on top 🍒

I’ve been using it for the past couple of months, day and night. It doesn’t take long for me to fall in love with it. The first thing that I noticed is the increase plumpness and firmness on the cheeks down - which is always a good sign in my book. As I go into my 30s, I do notice a decrease in hydration and slight loss of volume. So a product like this will always be appreciated. When I combine the Rénergie Triple Serum and HPN Cream together, I really get a dynamic duo. The brightening, even skin tone is more highlighted.

The texture may look quite thick from the outside, but after blending it into the skin, it has a nice balance of hydration and moisture while still manages to be quite lightweight. I apply a bit more during nighttime or finish off with a sleeping mask for enhanced moisture.

I also think it goes well with other products too, don’t really have to think about ingredients clashing, because it’s a friendly 👌🏼 If you’re like me nowadays and prefer for a quick routine yet still deliver experience and results, put this cream on your wishlist! Stat!

663/1000 - what a humbling honor to be a part of t 663/1000 - what a humbling honor to be a part of the grand launch of The Ultimate S Cream with the special display box.

I am obsessed with the design details. An homage to the historical Korean moon jar, representing the richness and wholesomeness of the moon itself. Clean cuts. Soft, smooth matte to the touch. 

Sulwhasoo’s recent rebranding possesses a look that marriage heritage and modernity. Cleaner facade yet still with shapes & lines of the bottles and jars that remind you of the old times. A representation of the brand’s philosophy in combining heritage, art and innovation.

I don’t like to play favorites, because I think I don’t like to play favorites, because I think every product that I like has its own merits and place in my routine. But, there are certain brands and products that I just keep getting back to. 

@sulwhasoo.indonesia is one of the few. The First Care Activating Serum is indeed the first product that I tell everyone to try if you want to dive into this brand. The 6th Gen indeed boasts newer technology, Sulwhasoo Master Complex™️. And for the first time, there’s Ginseng active in it! It cares for the skin’s inherent ability to renew and take care of itself. It really is a great booster serum!

Gentle Cleansing Foam - if you haven’t tried this, you should. I only need very little for each use, it lasts quite a really long time. If you need a first cleanser, pair it with Gentle Cleansing Oil too. Just like the name, they’re gentle and don’t strip my skin afterwards. The scent? Heavenly.

White Ginseng Radiance Mask - can be used as a facial scrub and mask at one go. The combination of herbals and soft particles soften the skin surface. It’s a type of mask that I will use while I’m showering, so I can wash it off altogether.

If you’re like me and you just want to swim yourself in a luxurious cream, Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Cream should be on the wishlist. I do think this help with “filling” the pockets of my skin, making it denser and firmer. Just apply and enjoy the experience, really! ☺️
