Spring Nail Polish Picks!

Hey y'all, Juliana here!

Sorry for being MIA lately, the spring semester just started and I've been spending my time either at class, studying, hanging out with friends or family.
Buuuuuut, since it's the SPRING semester, I've been obsessed with some new nail polish picks so I thought I could share them with you all!

First up is Sweetheart by OPI! This girly pink is such a classic. It goes with any outfit and is super timeless. I'm actually halfway through my second bottle!

This second one is this dark red shade from OPI, called Visions of Love. From the Holiday 2013 collection, this burgundy shade actually adds a little sass into your everyday outfit. However, I find that with this wine red shade it's best to use it when you have longer nails- it just adds to the effect!

Now last but definitely not least is this purple-based grey polish by Essie. The shade is in Chinchilly. I think I've actually mentioned this in a blog post before! But this shade is the middle ground between a pastel and a neutral. Since it's neutral it can go with any outfit but I reckon that this is the perfect bridge between the winter and spring seasons!

All three rings came in a set from Topshop

All these photos are from Instagram! I finally upgraded to an iPhone 5s (gold!) and I've been obsessed with Instagram. My account is littlemissjuliana go follow me and I'll follow back! I'd love to see pics from people around the world. I've been instagramming pretty much every day or if not every other day.

I will do a blog post soon on my new iPhone!

Wishing Sally a safe trip back from Canada <3

Lots of love from Juliana xox

Juliana's Updates

Hey all!
Omg I'm so sorry that we're never posting... I'm battling my way through final exams before the end of my semester. Okay well I'm not gonna lie there's always been some partying there as well but I promise I've been good ;)

I thought I might update you guys! So much has happened, not just school-wise, but also friendship drama and gossip!

My 18th Birthday:

So I turned 18 three weeks ago! I'm so excited, I'm finally legal. And no, it's not like I crazily abused my coming of age and went partying... I'm excited cos I can get a credit card and do some serious online shopping. #firstworldproblems.
Since my birthday is so close to halloween, my friends and I decided to just celebrate it on the night of halloween instead. We were too busy with college work and couldn't afford to go out twice in a week. I didn't exactly dress up; I had class earlier in the day, but I just wore my friend's sombrero (at the back!) cos I'm kinda really small and I would get lost in the crowd. Wow this post is turning out to be kinda sad.

Old Uni, New Uni?

Some of you may know that I quit the first uni that I was accepted into, because I was accepted into another uni for Year 2 to major in Psychology. That meant skipping freshman year of college entirely. But, I've made some amazing friends from the first uni, from my classes and from living in the uni halls, so I go back every now and then.
Here I am at a hall "GPA Dinner"- it's a hall tradition where there's a dinner to wish everyone good luck for their final exams.
P.S those are our matching-hoodies! Our floor (10th floor) is called "Goddesses" so we all got hoodies with our logo/ name on it!

Meeting up with friends:

I finally got to meet up with my high school friend! We've both been really busy, and we could finally sync our schedules to actually meet up! We went for a really nice dinner (Pepper Lunch!) and did some shopping at forever 21. 

How Christmassy are the shop decorations! This is a little skincare shop in Causeway Bay.

Okay so I'm gonna go hit the books, 4 quizzes coming up :(

I hope you all are doing great, and take care of yourselves with the cold weather coming up. Students out there- keep working hard for the end of term/ semester, Christmas holidays are coming up soon!

Too Faced Natural Eye Palette

So um, again, I'm really really sorry for the delayed posts- both Sally and I are knee deep in work and school things, plus personal life issues :/

But on a brighter note, I have a new review for you guys! (Drum roll please....) The Too Faced Natural Eye Palette! At university, everyone here has really natural makeup, if any, and as a makeup crazed person, of course I'd be pulling off all sorts makeup that I can get away with whilst looking as natural as possible.
With some light nudes, taupes, and light pinks with a sheen, you can do a super natural eye makeup, but with the dark browns and shimmery bronze/golds, you can easily amp this up into a night out look.

As you all know, I'm off at college, and this palette has just been my life saver. It's one of the only eyeshadows that I bought with me, and it has everything I can possibly need. It comes with 9 natural shades of eyeshadow, but it includes some shimmery and even a BAM sparkly one. Like what. That's just me in a palette.

Left to Right: Heaven,  Velvet Revolver, Sexpresso, Silk Teddy, Push- Up, Erotica, Nude Beach, Honey Pot, Cocoa Puff

As you can see from the photo above, there are three rows: "Day", "Night" and "Fashion", and this palette has a secret compartment which holds three cards that teaches you the three looks, if you're a beginner and don't know where to start. The cards slips in in the flappy part of the palette, so you can even carry those cheat sheets with you!

I've been absolutely loving this palette, as there are a ton of college events and nights out, so I'd be amping up my eye makeup, but also eyeshadows appropriate for class. 

Leave me a message as to what you think about it, or tweet me at @MissJulianaYu!

Love, from Juju xoxo
