DIY: Lavender Mist with Argan Oil

I’m loving this video where Josie Maran teaches us how to make lavender mist using her 100% organic Argan Oil.
I love argan oil, and Josie Maran’s is fabulous–not only does it hydrate, as you’d expect, but it adds a fabulous light shimmer.
Organic argan oil is super-good for you. It’s rich in vitamin E and essential fatty acids, while you will be reveling in the glowy tint, you are actually also giving your skin a healthy treat
But enough about that – check out the video!

Shades of gold and bronze are hot this summer – you’ll see it in shoes, bags, and all sorts of accessories.
Why wouldn’t it make it into your eye palette?
Estee Lauder’s Sensuous Gold Signature Eye Quad is a limited-edition compact that includes a variety of shades of hammered gold.
They can all be worn alone, but are designed to be blended and worn together, to create a variety of golden looks. Mix and match is the beauty of the eye quad. It’s 4 colors, but many options for looks and variants. You can even wear the darker colors as a shimmery liner.

When it comes to eye makeup, I’ve always preferred shimmer. I reckon I’ve been putting on eye makeup since 2000 — yea, a bit of a late bloomer this Sasha, hehe — and I’ve always loved shimmer. I have to admit that I’m more inclined to a very safe style, usually the more natural it looks, the better. But I still love putting on shimmer. I love shimmer.
Okay, enough about the shimmer. LOL.
Like previously mentioned on my Shimmer Liner Pencil post (there goes the shimmer word again! LMAO), I bought other stuff from The Face Shop, aka TFS, but all …read more

‘Sand Castle’ ORLY Nail Lacquer on my Nails

I’m still working with the nude-ish tone when it comes to nail polishes. I had considered sporting a darker one but finally deciding on this soft brown-sorta-pink-ish hue from ORLY Nail Lacquer called Sand Castle (Shimmer).
The last nail polish I had on didn’t really last that long since I’ve been “roughing it” during the trip. Hey, I carried around 17kgs worth of luggage down a flight of narrow stairs and such. Ha. And I have to admit, I wasn’t particularly mindful of my nails then, didn’t care if they got chipped or snagged. I reckon the *tomboy* in me came …read more
