Vanessa Hudgens Got Pretty Cute Nails for Coachella Festival

Vanessa Hudgens probably thinks that people will be scrutinizing her nails at the Coachella festival hence, the actress splurged $190 in beautifying her nails at the Laque Nail Bar in Los Angeles. If you ask me, this amount seems worth it based on the photo that she posted on her Instagram account.

The nail job, which took three hours by the way, involves all of Vanessa’s nails painted in brown and decorated with Swarovski crystals of different shapes and sizes. The nail on the ring finger of her right hand is embellished with a gold marijuana leaf. According to the salon owner Marina Torosian the Swarovski crystals cost $15 per batch and the hand-drawn marijuana leaf also has a different price, which is why the nail job cost a total of $190.

I have to say, Vanessa’s pretty cute fingernails will definitely catch attention at Coachella this weekend!

Would you splurge $190 on nails like these?

Dita Von Teese Shares Beauty Secrets

Celebrities look great all the time. Sometimes I can't help but wonder, "How do they do it?" It's like they're always blooming 24/7! It's an instances like these that I'd really do whatever in order to know their beauty secrets. I bet you do too right?

But a lot of celebrities' secret lie in the makeup they use and how they apply it. Some makeup are so subtle they look pretty natural. Some celebrities share their beauty and makeup secrets freely but others keep them to themselves. But you know what? It's our lucky day because one celebrity generously shared her makeup secret and that celebrity is none other than renowned burlesque star Dita Von Teese!

Dita recently launched her own makeup line so, rest assured she knows what she's talking about! Are you ready for her makeup tips? Here we go!

1. Alabaster skin is the perfect base for a vintage look. I'd never dream of getting a tan - I always wear sunscreen and put on a hat when I'm out in the sun. 

2. Classic red lipstick is the most chic beauty statement a woman can make. Matte lips are like luscious rose petals. Add just a touch of gloss to the center. 

3. In the Thirtees and Forties, leaving the half-moon at the bottom of your nail was the epitome of elegance. It has now become modern and chic again.

4. For a dramatic look, I start with a neutral lid, define a line of black shadow in the crease. Finish with a sparkling white on your brow bone and eyelid. 

5. I always powder my nose using pressed powder in an exquisite, jewelled compact.

Must-Have NYX Round Lipstick!

NYX is a cosmetics brand that is gaining popularity these days, especially here in the Philippines. Personally, I haven't had the chance to try any of its products but I sure would love to! I've been browsing some online shops that offer NYX products at affordable prices and I think I just found the perfect site that suits my budget.

The first NYX product I'd like to try is its Round Lipstick! This lip product has lots of positive reviews which makes me even more confident that I'm making the right choice in trying it out.

Anyway, I can't really go wrong with the Round Lipstick because it can be used all-year round! It is capable of providing a fantastic velvet texture and saturated color thanks to its mineral-based emollient formula. This makeup also prevents it from smudging.

NYX Round Lipstick is perfect! But the problem is, there are 144 shades to choose from!! And all of them seem like great colors so I hope I can choose one or several that suit me. Narcissus, Flower, Milan, Margarita, Sky Pink, and Watermelon seem like great shades!

Wanna Have Sauna Detox

Have you ever been to a sauna? Honestly, I haven’t. I just don’t the time for it at the moment. But from what my other friends tell me, going to a sauna is can do wonders to one’s health, and also to beauty. Hmm, I really that last part about beauty, who wouldn’t? Work has been very stressful lately and I can feel even my pores oozing with stress. Okay, that’s an exaggeration. But, really, one of these days I just have to try out what it’s like and if its benefits are real. But first things first are there different kinds of saunas? Yes there are. The one that most people go to is the traditional sauna. However, there is a more modern one called the infrared sauna.

Now, infrared saunas are becoming the most recommended kind by a lot of doctors. This is because the heat can penetrate the body much deeper. People who have ailments and problems like inflammation, weight loss, cholesterol, and high blood pressure will greatly benefit the infrared sauna. All toxins buried deep inside the skin are pulled out by the heat. Actually, you’ll be killing two birds with one stone because not only are toxins removed your skin is also exfoliated in the process.

I’m really liking this a lot. Maybe I’ll find a infrared sauna tomorrow. Join me?

I'm still on the look-out. But for sure I'll buy something like this Electric 360 Palette from Sephora. If I can't find it, I'll buy something similar.
