Memorable days - Asian Beauty, Fashion and Lifestyle Blog

Sometimes I wish I lived in Singapore because they always have so many blogger meetings where you have the chance to test awesome products and even food at restaurants. From the beginning of the year I saw a lot of blogposts about the green tea whitening marvel gel of the brand Ginvera. Have you heard about it before? It has been on the market for a while now. It made me curious and I wanted to try it out, so I ordered a sample at The Sample Store at the end of March. This blogpost was saved in draft on Blogger for a long time but I just forgot to post it >.<" I know... stupid me... This is how the sample looks like:

Ebay.com is THE website where I buy my necklaces. Necklaces in The Netherlands are way overpriced! Of course it depends where you buy it, but it's quite expensive compared to the necklaces which are sold on Ebay. It's fun to browse on this website because they sell a lot of cute stuff. In this blogpost I will share a few necklaces that I found on Ebay. I will add the link of the Ebay seller, so that you know where to buy it. I didn't purchase all of them, I only purchased a few of these necklaces that I listed below, but I do think that they are all cute ♥. Which one is your favorite ^o^?!

1. A cute crown necklace - $0.99 with free shipping - Seller: 021Jewelry
2. Rhinestone panda necklace - $2.39 with free shipping - Seller: Gogo21shop

I'm totally in love with the Hada Labo products! I'm sure that most of you have heard about this brand right? I've tried the Hada Labo Gokujyun Super Hyaluronic Acid (SHA) hydrating face lotion before and it's still one of my favorite products that I'm using. I purchased a bottle of that lotion the other day together with the Hada Labo Gokujyun Moisturizing Cream that I'm reviewing in this blogpost. I have a combination dry skin and I was searching for a good moisturizing cream for a long time. Have you used any Hada Labo products before?

I know for sure that many of you know the website Sasa.com. Sasa is a famous drugstore which sells many Japanese, Chinese, Korean and European products. You can buy their products online or at their stores in Asia. I recently visited their website and saw that they offer free shipping for 3 days. It's from the 23th of August till the 25th of August . Normally you will get free shipping if you buy more than $75 there, but for these 3 days you only have to spend $29 to get free shipping. That's an awesome deal right ^o^!? I normally need a whole day to check their whole assortment out, since they really sell many products of different kinds of brands. There are even brands which I'd never heard of xD. It's definitely my favorite website ^___^.

Anyways, I just wanted to share this with you girls, because I know that a lot of you want to order from there but always hesitates to do so because of the high shipping. Therefore, this is a good opportunity for you to buy things there =D. Go to their website http://sasa.com to check out their huge assortment. The shipping time usually takes around a month to arrive.

The weather was so nice today so my sis, my mom and I decided to go to the park with my baby nephew. I took my camera with me and took a few photos ^__^. The photos came out pretty good thanks to the awesome lighting there ='D.

I'm going to show you two Catrice nail polish swatches today. The colors are gold and silver looking. Both colors are great as a base for crackling nails ;).

It's tea time! My sis organized a high tea at her home ^__^. Everyone took along a plate which made for a great selection. I made the marble cupcakes which you see there hihi ^o^. We also made some lovely salmon sandwiches and mozzarella sandwiches with pesto (my favorite!) and brownies. I was extremely full after this, but I enjoyed it all ^___^. Have you ever been to a high tea before?

Today I would like you to show you the Japanese Cherry Blossom Nail art Tutorial. It's great for the summer ^__^. Continue reading if you want to know how to do this nail art.

Hi My lovely followers ♥,

Anyways, I'm not going to blog often this week.., hope you girls can understand. I have been watching tons of series lately (yeah I'm a huge drama addict) haha.. Have you seen the following Korean dramas/TV shows: Heartstrings, Running man and We got married? I totally became addicted to these. Besides, I'm also watching some Taiwanese dramas like Love you with Rainie Yang and Love Keeps Going with Cyndi wang and Mike he. Whoaaa.. I love watching dramas lol ♥.. Who is a drama addict here as well? RAISE YOUR HAND! ='D Which dramas are YOU watching?

Do you remember my previous Bel Mondo bio cellulose mask review? Click here if you've missed it. They also mentioned Memorable Days on their website, Belmondobeauty.com, so check it out if you haven't seen it yet. In my previous blogpost I mentioned that Bel Mondo had contacted me to review their masks. The mask that I'm reviewing in this blogpost is one of them and it's called the bio cellulose mask: anti-aging. These are NOT the same as paper masks! I've been using this anti-aging mask for 5 weeks and I'm going to review it below, so keep on reading if you're interested ;).

I bought a set of nail art brushes a month ago. I think that many people already have this set since it's not something new anymore. There are 15 brushes in one set, some brushes are orange, some are white and some are brown.
Price
I bought this set on Ebay for $1,69 with free shipping. Not expensive at all for 15 brushes, so it's definitely worth to buy. Unfortunately the seller from whom I bought it from doesn't sell it anymore. However, I'm sure that there are other sellers on Ebay who sells it for the same price.

Packaging
It comes in a nice & simple packaging which is made of plastic. The packaging keeps the brushes together.

Quality
The quality of the brushes are so-so. The softness is ok and the hair won't come off easily while using or cleaning it. However, the brushes aren't easy to use at the beginning, you do need to practice. Even a straight line can be difficult at start, but it's easy once you get the hang of it. Besides, these brushes are quite hard to clean, the color of the nail polish will still remain a little bit on the hair. I will make a tutorial about how you can clean nail art brushes on a good way later.. so stay tuned ;).

People with long hair can do a lot with their hair. They can have a lot of different hairstyles, but they just don't know how to do it. In this blogpost I will share some Youtube videos with a few hairstyle tutorials for the summer. These 3 hairstyle guru's have a lot of videos with different kind of hairstyles which are suitable for long & short hair.

1. Lilithedarkmoon
Hairstyle guru Lilith models for different hair salons in Paris. She participates in shows, workshops and trainings where the latest trends in hair styling are presented. Lilith has 100 videos on her channel which are all related to hair and it's mostly for people with medium to long hair. This is probably the only channel I know with the most hairstyle tutorials and they are easy to follow as well. In this video below you will see the waterfall braid hair tutorial: 

Haven't shown my OOTD for a while ^^" gomenasai~! The lighting in my room ain't always good, so it's hard to take pictures sometimes. Anyways, I'm going to show you my outfit of the day in this blogpost and I'm calling it "Into the blue" because of my blue shirt='D. There are two ways to wear the shirt, you can tuck the shirt in your pants and put on a thin belt or just leave it.

We all have seen the round rhinestones for nail art before right? I often read magazines like Nail up to get some nail art inspiration. I have seen lots of nail art designs with square rhinestones lately and it looked pretty so I bought it as well :D. I actually like these rhinestones more than the round ones.
There are 1800 square rhinestones in this wheel and 12 different kinds of colors as you can see below.
Price
I bought these on Ebay for $2,49 with free shipping at seller Art-La-Lic. I was very satisfied with the service of this seller. The shipping was quite fast, it took around 10 days to arrive at my place.

Size
The size of the rhinestones is 2mm.

Style
There are different ways to put it on your nails which is the fun part of square rhinestones. I'm going to show you a few below. Which style is your favorite out of these 8 ^o^~?

Some of you know that I went to Primark a few days ago since I tweeted about it on Twitter. (Follow me via twitter if you haven't done so ^o^~). There are two Primark stores in The Netherlands, one in Hoofddorp and the other one is in Rotterdam Alexander. I went to Hoofddorp the other day and ended up with a €87.- bill for 10 items hahah, crazy isn't it? Check out my haul in this blogpost:

I finally had the time to go to TALLY WEiJL last week. I haven't been there for two months or so, so I was very excited to visit that store again. I posted about their Fall collection 2011 a few weeks ago, click here if you've missed it. As some of you might know, this lovely company became one of my sponsors hihi ^___^ ♥. They sponsored me a pair of shoes this time and I was able to choose it myself at their store. I chose a pair of oxford heels. I totally fell in love with it while I was at the TALLY WEiJL store ♥_♥! On their website it's called the Lace up high ankle boots. They are €29,95, not expensive at all! What do you think? Looks cute right ^o^?! I will show you some close ups of the heels in this blogpost :).

How to make nail polish dry faster? It usually depends on how many layers you apply or how thick you apply the nail polish. The thinner the coats the faster it will dry! We can use different ways to make the nail polish dry faster. Here are some examples: You can use quick-dry polish as your main coat and a fast-drying top coat. You can dry your nail polish with a blow dryer. Set your hair dryer to the coolest setting and blow dry it for 2 minutes. It's also possible to dip your nails in cold water for about 40 seconds to make the nail polish dry faster. The cold temperature helps harden the nail polish. I recently bought a nail dryer which works as well.

MOOOOOO~!!! Today I'm showing you my latest nail art creation which is the cow print nail art. It was extremely easy to do this (I say this all the time lol >.<") . I only used a dotting pencil to create the black stains. AAAAH! It looks so cute right haha ^-^~!
Step 1: Apply a base coat and let it dry.
Step 2: Apply a white nail polish and let it dry. 
Step 3: Draw some black stains with a dotting pencil on the 4 nails. I used the white dotting pencil here.
Wait till the 4 nails are dry, before you start with your thumb nail.
Step 4: Apply 2 large black stains on your thumb nail.
Step 5: Use a light pink nail polish to create the nose. No dotting pen is needed to create the nose, just use your nail polish brush. Leave some space between the nose and the 2 large black stains.
Step 6: Create 2 small stains between the pink nose and the large black stains.
Step 7: When it's dry, apply some eyes and nose holes with your dotting pen.
Step 8: Apply a top coat when all nails are dry.
What did I use for this tutorial..?
- Base & Top coat from HEMA, Dutch store
- Dear'Lee black nail polish
- Dear'Lee white nail polish
- Catrice #210 Just married
- White dotting pencil
I hope you liked this nail art creation/tutorial. Please show me yours if you're going to create this as well ^___^~! You can tweet a picture or post it on my facebook, I would love to see it ♥!
