Slatkin & Co Candles♥

(hot chocolate)

(pumpkin caramel latte, autumn)

(cinnamon sugared donut, spiced madeleine, lavender macaroon)

I think these are new Slatkin & Co fall candle scents(except for autumn.) I am diggin' these! They smell so good~!! I've only burned hot chocolate so far and the scent throw is pretty nice. The scent filled my room and flowed into the hallway a bit when I left my door open. It smells like hot coco powder mix that you can get from the market. I actually like the scent a lot more when it's burning.

Sometimes it's a hit or miss with these candles, so I'll let you know my thoughts on them when I finish burning these. So if you like bakery scents you have to stop by to sniff these. It was the cinnamon donut and pumpkin latte that brought me in at first. 

I'm a little worried for my wallet now~ I didn't think they'd have so many new scents. I'll buy a few more minis I guess. I'll try to stay away from full size ones since i did stock up a bit from last year...booo

I would suggest getting the three minis(4.8oz combined) for $5, instead of the 2(4oz) for $10 tho. you'd get bit more~ but if you love a scent~go for the 14.5oz!

Will you be getting any of these?

What are some of your favourite candle brands?

.....

RMK!

RMK Skin Tuner Fruit - Refreshing citrus fruity toner. I have no Idea why I love this more than other brands of toner, but this is my 5th or 6th bottle. It's very refreshing and makes my skin feels clean, smooth and hydrated. My mom&dad also likes this too~ especially dad who plays golf ;)

RMK's Description:

Containing Vitamin C, and fruit extracts as Raspberry Extract and Peach Seed, this moisturizer suppresses the production of Melanin, and restrains the formation of blemishes and freckles from UV exposure, whilst keeping your skin bright and drenched with moisture. Fruity bitter orange scented to energize your skin and soul.

RMK Extra Brightening -  This, I've also gone through a few. I like it. It's a light serum that smells and feels nice. a pump and a half will cover your face and neck. I like how my skin looks beter when using these two products, than when I'm not using them :)

RMK's Description:

This Brightening essence has a revolutionary blend of 13 ingredients that treats the skin on every level to achieve the fresh luminous complexion. It suppresses the Melanin which led to unwanted pigmentation, retrains various substances and causes that diminish our skin clarity. It also refines, stimulates, firms and moisturizes the skin, creating a visibly clearer, brighter and most important healthier skin. Scented with lemon twists and grapefruit to revitalize your skin. 

RMK Face Protector - My fav sunscreen. I've made a mini post on this already :)

RMK Pressed Powder N - Swirl all together and dust over face. Will update on how I feel about it later :)

A few sample I got~and I absolutely love the Gel Emulsion. It works almost like a light foundation. It's easy to blend with a sponge and just top off with the pressed powder gota go get the full size. 

I love Rmk Products, but they are a bit pricey~

More Paul & Joe~

I just want to introduce you to Kapibara~san! My new friend!! I've been wanting him for a long time, but i havn't been able to find him until now~ I think he needs more friends!!!!!

I told you I will be going back for more paul&joe products! This will be the only purchases I'll be getting from them for awhile, since I'm going back to the States in a few days ~(T^T)~

Refreshing Skin Toner - I've been using this for about three weeks now and I like it, but I think I'll like it better back in SF. This toner feels very hydrating. I thought it would have a more refreshing crisp clean feeling, but it's more of a moisturized feeling. I don't mean moisturized greasy, like the product doesn't sink into the skin, it feels like its actually doing something. It smells like orange blossoms and something else~hmm what is it? But I like this so far and it doesn't break me out. 

During this period I did switch to try out my mom's new SKII for a few days and that one did break me out! :(

Eye Color Primer - I haven't used this, but I wanted to try a primer other than Too Faced or Urban Decay. I've Seen Eki used this in one of her tutorials, so I'm excited to try it. I'll start using this after I finish my mini Benefit Stay Don't Stray and I'll let you know What I think :) 

Eye Treatment Duo - I haven't tried this one either. But I'll keep you updated~ fingers crossed they'll be great!

These are gift with purchase and 2 mini cleansing milk sample(cute!). Got all this from buying the three above *YAY* I haven't tried anything yet. I've had them for almost a month, but I don't want to touch it hahaa~ isn't the bag super cute?? I love it!

June/July Haul~

Here are a few products I bought during the month of June and half of July. Some I've used and some I haven't touched yet. 

I can say that the Skin Food Grapefruit Nail Polish Remover is awesome. It smells really nice and still does it's job. My dad doesn't complain when we use this in his presence~

Mac Studio Fix and Skin Food Choco Eyebrow Powder Cake are repurchases. The eyebrow powder smells like choco :) 

Essential Ultra Honey and Shea Buter Hair Mask is great~although it's sometimes hard to wash off. It's very thick, but it has helped my hair. I've finished that and purchased Tsubaki Hair Mask which is twice the price of Essential, but I actually like this one more~ The texture is not as thick, but it's still moisturizes my hair and it feels even better when I rinse it out. I use these more as a daily mini mask/conditioner. I currently don't own a conditioner~

I love the Liese Designing Jelly. It's the pink bottle next to Essential. It's a liquidy gel like consistency. I just like to scrunch it into my hair to give it more volume and texture.

Just let me know if you want me to do a review on anything :)

( Mac Honey-Love, Mac Impassioned, Paul&Joe Eye Gloss Duo 002)

I used up one side~

MiniMini Haul~

I went to pick up OPI's Pirate collection from Ulta today (post and swatches here) and came home with some things I don't really need from the mall :)

I picked up UD's The Quinceañera Bag ($26) I love the glittery purple~but is it worth $26?  I'm not sure hahaaa~ isn't it pretty tho?

Then I walked over to BBW and picked up a few more hand sanitizers (not that I already don't have enough!!) But I think I'll gives these out when I visit back home in asia. I bought a ton of Reindeer Pocket bacs back in January too~~These are nice fruity scents! I'm not crazy about the blueberry one tho--but I love the eucalyptus and lavender ones below :)

This one I got for free with the coupon (spend $10 get a sig product(up to $12) free)

Last week I finally picked up Tarte's Amazonian Clay Blush in Exposed. Loving the texture and color, but does it last 12 hrs??? I don't think so...

The pictures looks better color edited...past post images are really dull~sorry! I will edit from now on!

Collective Haul

Just wanted to share some things I bought over the past few weeks :)

I like to drop by Lush when I can~ On my first trip I picked up Mask of Magniminty. I like the cooling effect this gives. It feels cooler than the fresh face masks that I pull out of my fridge. It can also double as an exfoliator. The smell is good too~ herbal+mint. This one expires in 5 months~

Second trip I picked up Big shampoo after I tried a sample of it. I like the scent and how soft it makes my hair feel (although it does get a bit tangly when I'm rinsing it out) I don't seem to get the shine it claims to give tho. 

Being the face mask freak that I am~I also picked up Cupcake fresh face mask :)

(Not like the Movies, Playa de Platinum, San Tan-tonio)

I picked up these 3 nail polishes from my favourite Beauty Discount Supply store in the city. $5 opi and $3.50 Essie? Gota love it. They seem to get new collections fairly quick too :)

i looooooooove this lip balm! I need to get more~

(carbon, sketch, scrumptious olive)

(cranberry, shale, all that glitters)

Has anyone picked up a few new things too? 

Anyone has any suggestions to which 2 mac shadows I should get to fill up my palette? 

.....

Haul~

I recieved my order from sephora a couple days ago~ I'm still excited and just wanted to share :)

I picked up a few mini's from Sephora. I usually don't like to order online, but I decided that I really wanted the mini Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment Duo($22.50) and the Sephora stores around my house were all sold out. So $50 for free shipping...my excuse to buy more produts hahaa :)


I was about to run out of my RMK face cream, so I decided to try out Ole Henriksen Truth Revealed Starter Kit ($20). I really like trying out these mini versions, because I wouldn't have to commit to using them if I didn't like them. and I think these minis would last at least a month or two. So far, I'm liking this . m/b a full review soon.


I also picked up the Benefit Stay Put Set($10) I've been really into my Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow in Birthday Suit and I was thinking of trying out R.S.V.P. which has a more pinkish lighter tone to it, but I thought it would be too similar to Birthday Suit on. This set included a mini version of R.S.V.P. (0.11 oz.). The full product size is 0.16 oz. for $19. So just getting the cream shadow alone was already a good deal...so i got it! But i have to say..I'm loving Birthday suit alot more~


A plus side to ordering online is that you get free samples, although they ran out of Marc Jacob's Lola I'm still happy. There are also coupon codes that you can look for on the site. Look at Weekly Specials. I got a sample of cliniques 3 step system on top on my 3 samples. so yay! more things to try out.


anyone else picked up these products? what are your thoughts on them?
