Victoria Sweden Egg Pack and LoveNail from HiShop

LoveNail

It's Sunday! I knew everyone well living within such hustle bustle life, we have less time for even proper manicure session that last for 2 hours + 1 more hour for drying if you're taking the basic manicure instead of gel. Here's a quick fix for you if you're running an instant errand- Love Nail, the instant applique.

Not the nail extension, with one stick, with zero drying time and leaving you with perfect shiny nails!
 

In a box, it comes with 20 nail strips, a nail file (to remove the excess strip and shape the edge), a double-headed stick (to smooth the applique) and sealing stickers (to prevent the nail strips from drying and harden).

Ingredients:
Made of 100% nail polish ingredients (including base coat, color coat and top coat) that you can easily remove with the nail polish remover!

Direction to use:
Step 1: Make sure the nail is clean, without any recessive nail polish.
Step 2:  Select the size of french tip that best fit your nail.
Step 3: Peel the selected nail strip off the clear cover and apply it on your nail.
Step 4: File off the excessive nail strip in downward motion.
Step 5: You're done! The nail strips can last for 2 weeks.


My thoughts
It's actually alike with Bloop Nail Strips that I've reviewed before, but one of the property that really make me surprise was the 100% nail polish ingredients that I can simply remove it with nail polish remover without the need of tearing it off that may hurt my nail!


Victoria Sweden Egg Pack
Here's the Victoria Sweden Egg White Facial Care Soap which is originally prepared by Swedish Women as a tradition of daily facial home care.Works like a cleanser and also face mask!

The texture of the soap, is just like the normal soap out there yet it forms more foam and there's a slight rose scent which is gentle and refreshing.

Step 1: Best use in the morning.

Step 3: Rinse off.

Elianto Long Wear Eyeshadow Stick

Finally, a makeup post after so long! 
I am always looking for longwear eyeshadow with the need of traveling to full summer country like Thailand and having some beach side vacation. Traveling, sort of sweat-ful exercise.We will definitely go for waterproof eyeliner or mascara, but somehow I feel like, lack of something without the eyeshadow, the eyes look hollow and kinda dull. Eyeshadow creates perfect eye crease and adding some colors on our eyes, reflecting our mood of the day, even making our look a little more interesing. 
I'm glad that I found Elianto Long Wear Eyeshadow Stick and here I am going to share with you all!
www.immateapot.com

''Elianto, derived from the word 'Sunflower' in Italian, it's a unique combination of striking beauty and utility symbolized by the flower.''
With the aim of bringing the best of nature and finest quality/ingredients in cosmetics, all the Elianto products are enriched with botanical extracts, which are gentle to the skin yet bringing out the best gleam of our eyes, lips and cheeks.
Elianto Long Wear Eyeshadow Stick, is a wax-based eyeshadow stick which originated from German. This range of eyeshadow stick is perfectly created to suit this Spring/Summer seasons in creating runway vibe and dramatic look with timeless smoky eyes, bold strokes or even precise vibrant lines.
Elianto Long Wear Eyeshadow Stick range offers with the effortless step of apply, glide and go.
It's also dermatologically and ophthalmologically (disorders of eyes) approved, with mineral oil-free, paraben-free and preservatives-free.
It is available in 6 intense shades, which are black, navy, brown, white, purple and blue.
The texture of the eyeshadow stick is much creamy, like the gel eyeliner, yet it will slowly turn to feather-light weight powder. As you can seen, the texture is so smooth and the line can be drawn so fluently.
Besides, Elianto Long Wear Eyeshadow Stick is known for its long lasting properties, meanwhile it's smudge-proof (lightly or accidentally brushing the eyes and the eyeshadow won't smudge) and water-proof

FYI, smudge-proof doesn't mean with rubbing you eyes harshly, of course with this action, not only the eye shadow smudge, as well as your skin. (Above picture, showing that I brushed my skin rudely and the eyeshadow only smudge abit)
Water-proof means the eye shadow appears to stay solid without being washed away by the water. Doesn't including brushing your eyes harshly with the water on.
What's even better? It has the in-built sharpener at the end of the stick that makes our life less miserable haha! I don't need to keep an extra sharpener in our make up pouch or bag, space-saving. We don't have to worry if we lost the tiny sharpener, mindspace-saving.


Price and availability
RM31.90 each | 1.4g | 0.05 fl.oz
*available at all Elianto stores.

My thoughts
Like: I love the colors as they really pay off, intense and vibrant. It's super smooth in blending even tho with my ring finger, definitely save up some time using the brush. i would love to use the brown shades for daily smokey effect. The in-built sharpener is brilliant, so convenient that I only need to carry a pencil in my bag, using it as eyeliner or even eye shadow.

Dislike: I dislike the purple shades as I found it way too dull, much like the darker brown tone. I'm still considering with its sebum-proof effect, guess we can still top up with the powder eyeshadow after the eyeshadow stick, for a better vivid colors and long lasting effect. The tip of the eyeshadow stick is too soft that you might easily break one of the edge.

Glory Nail @Atria Shopping Gallery

Have you guys been to Atria Shopping Gallery? I guess it's now the talk of the town, known as the shopping mall with most food stores around. It's also being strongly advertised on the newspaper and has been sharing by all the Facebook-ers, with lotsa pictures of food and all.
Here's my first visit to Atria Shopping Gallery because I was invited to have a pedicure and medicure session at Glory Nail.
Before I walked into the shop, I was so surprised with its interior design, with layered brown bricks, pure white sheer curtain, which giving much of the combination of vintage and dreamy feeling. The dim lighting in the shop added a great sensation and atmosphere, customers can enjoy while having a luxury pampered session.
I thought it will be lesser people in the shop, as the mall was just newly opened, yet it didn't! After I walked in the shop, the crowd was getting larger. WHY? Because of the opening PROMOTION!
With only paying RM99, customers are encountered with a set of manicure and pedicure service, with a complimentary set of gel polish! (T&C apply)

Glory Nail is using GLORY nail polish which originated from Korea. The color features the traditions and current trends, even created the whole new mixture of nail colors along the primary colors. Glory colors not only express its vivid color which best suit the Asian skin colors while using the top quality ingredients, like with the antibacterial properties.
Beside Glory, they are also using MEMORY gelwear which newly launched in Korea in 2011. It features superb and long lasting color (more than 2 weeks with glossiness). It comes with 30 shades with top quality brush without any harmful materials within.
Although the shop wasn't that spacious, yet all the spaces were perfectly-used and I felt quite cozy while having my pampered session there. Maybe because of the massage equipped chair? 

Pedicure



After all the basic treatments, I was recommended to put on the Fuchsia shades as base and topped with glittery coat from GLORY.

Manicure



For manicure, I was recommended to put on with pastel colors from MEMORY. Personally, I love colors, especially in pastel. This manicure was just nice to express all my favorite colors.
