THE FRUIT COMPOTE

The Good and The Forbidden

The Wedding Nails 2.0

July 26, 2018 Leave a Comment

Well, whaddya know, another wedding-related post. I was going to post this sooner but the old tale was I got caught by so many different excuses :p

Anyway, we were very lucky that we get to hold another wedding reception which was 3 weeks after the D-Day. This time, the guests are our friends! I suppose, call me for being extra. But I did want my nails to look different. Plus, the previous nails were getting long and I wasn’t comfortable with the length.

This was what I decided on.

Parado Nail Foundation – My Nails But Better

April 18, 2018 Leave a Comment

When you go to Japan, there’s no way that you wouldn’t stop by one of its myriad convenience stores. They’re available in every few blocks, how can we not notice? During our recent Japan trip, we entered at least one every day, mostly to get some food for breakfast, snacks, drinks or anything that might catch our eyes.

Some convenience stores also carry few makeup products. You know, my eyes usually went straight for it whenever I see one. *chuckle* There is one particular purchase that made me really happy because it’s like finding a gem (for me who likes nail polishes). And that is ParaDo Nail Foundation.

The Wedding Nails

November 22, 2017 Comments : 3

The last time I wrote anything nail-related was in 2015. Here it is, 2 years later, I’m married to the love of my life *aww* This post will mark the first of the wedding series, where I’ll share few bits of pieces of our pre and wedding details.

Alright, wedding nails. I made it a decision early that I have to use gel polish. I didn’t want to fuss about my nails, looking at them, searching and wondering whether they’d chipped or not. As much as I dislike the removals and how they make my thin nails even thinner afterward, I have to make an exception. Gel polish is practically foolproof and that’s what I need.

So, here are the nails I wear happily on my big day.

Innisfree Haul – Straight from Korea!

April 14, 2015 Leave a Comment

I had mentioned sometime ago that the only Korean brand that I’m interested in (as of now) is Innisfree. The brand is simple, low profile with its natural ingredients and green approach. It has a lot of charm but doesn’t have that fancy-schmancy, full of gimmick-thing going on.

When my cousin told me about her plans visiting Korea and her, being so kind had offered if I wanted something from there, naturally, I said “Innisfree!”

I set up a list and she managed to get them all 😀

Feathery, Studs-y Nails

April 2, 2015 Leave a Comment

It’s been a while since I do these nail art posts. I was on a hiatus, taking a break from painting my nails due to the yellow tinge on them. Because, honestly, no matter what I do, excessive use of nail polish will make my nails turn yellow. They look unattractive, which resulted in me keep covering them. It’s an evil circle.

So, I decided to stop for a bit. Getting used to seeing my good ol’ plain nails. Not even applying OPI Nail Envy although I have to say that after a while, my nails became the way they were, brittle. That means, OPI Nail Envy is doing its work, strengthen my nails. I’m back using it again, but stayed off from the actual color.

Long story short, I was under stress and had a lot on my mind lately and one of the best ways to relieve that is to paint some talons. I bought quite a few a while back and it’s time to put them to good use.

Tutorial: Distressed Nail Art

December 30, 2014 Leave a Comment

It all started when I hauled a few nail polishes. I had a lot of ideas but I finally settled on one that I’ve been itching to do for a while. It’s called Distressed Nail Art and it’s inspired by none other, Chalkboard Nails.

I grabbed a few of my nail polishes and started to experiment a little bit on the nail wheel.

Crisscross Holo Nails

December 11, 2014 Comments : 4

I was just going to wear a plain polish that day. Well, not that plain, it’s a hologram polish. It’s Cirque Vesuvius. However, every time I tried to wear this, there’s always something missing. Not quite right. I just feel the need to add something. The polish is beautiful, no doubt about that. But, I find it sort of blends in with my skin tone a little too well.

I tried to pair it with black polish, but it was okay, nothing too special. Paired it with a light blue (Essie Mint Candy Apple) and it didn’t go the way I had visualized.

Then, it came to me, something incredibly simple and yet effective: striping tape.

BASIC SKINCARE ROUTINE

Cleanse – Hydrate – Moisturize – Protect (SPF)

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

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.

PATYKA Intensive Moisturizing Mask, it has this Pa PATYKA Intensive Moisturizing Mask, it has this Parisian je-ne-sais-quoi quality that is just effortless. This product reminds me of something that I’d love to carry during long-haul flights. After cleansing the skin, just apply the product and either watch a movie or go to sleep to avoid the jet lag. And reapply when needed.

Into the description, it’s formulated to give a hydrolipidic film to the skin, or rather, to protect the skin barrier and strengthens it when needed. It contains an ample amount of emollients and Hexapeptide-11; a chain of peptide with 6 amino acids that are used to increase collagen production, boost elasticity and firmness in the skin. The mask also acts as an SOS product.

The slightly pale bluish-cream gives out a heavier moisture that it looks actually. I thought it was just going to be on the lightweight side, but turned out, I do not need it as much. It can be applied thicker, leave on for a 15-20 minutes, massage it in and take the excess off if needed. It’s great but, no, I do not want to waste this whatsoever 😂 So I always use it as sleeping mask after a serum or a face oil (PATYKA Repair Night Serum is a great complement to this btw!). It’s beautiful that way and quick too.

It softens my skin, making it filled with nourishing moisture to last through the night while snuggling in my blanket. And perhaps, during my travels, in my dreams 😴😴

The unique floral powdery scent is quite an echo to the other PATYKA’s products. This is another interesting find from the brand. Available at @cnfstoreofficial.
