Designer brand-loving zillas unite! As previously noted, I’ve been stalking this line forever so imagine my elation when my initial order finally came, all intact thankfully!

What a massive collection, Gucci Beauty that is! Choosing which items to purchase online seemed more of an arduous task because I don’t want to break the bank obviously. For eyeshadows alone, there are 10 variations of Magnetic Color Quad, 18 Mono’s, and 7 Duo’s.

For today’s post, I will be focusing on Gucci Eye Magnetic Color Shadow Duo in 040 Autumn Fire ($65, 5g, Neiman Marcus), an eye candy befitting this season!

Luxe-feel, monogram overload.  Black and gold combo epitomizes luxury, at least in my opinion. My wardrobe is predominantly black and I wear gold 365d. Mix both together and I’m in. While the eyeshadow case is made from plastic, you can tell that the quality is never compromised: there is heft to it, it snaps magnetically, and the embossed gold monogram is distinctively luxe. However, I have this trivial observation which you may find borderline nitpicky: I hate matchy-matchy because it comes out tacky. From the monogrammed box, monogrammed velvet pouch, monogrammed case, monogrammed individual shades, can someone explain this obsession? Branding is one thing but to be constantly bombarded is another. It’s akin to a woman wearing monogram from head to toe: shades, purse, jeans, shoes, watch, ugh I can’t!

Flawless application, crease-free perfection. Looking past the GGGGGGG overload, this particular quad wins in terms of color payoff, wearability and texture. Applied wet or dry over an eye primer, these eyeshadows performed well way past nine hours sans fading and creasing. All four shades have moderate (but buildable) pigmentation, something a neutral-loving woman will greatly appreciate. They are finely-milled with negligible fallouts. Autumn Fire reminds me of fall foliage, it’s like a maple leaf changing color before your very eyes: peachy gold (shimmer), rose gold (shimmer), plum (shimmer), brown (matte)….don’t you just love fall?

3 shimmers, 1 matte…. a well-thought out color coordination

Finally, here’s my FOTD for better reference…

Are you excited with the launch of Gucci Beauty (currently available online, Neiman Marcus, Saks)? or better yet, did you pick up anything I need to try? As with me, I’m overall impressed with this quad so I may pick up one more….

  • Today’s stacks: Left arm: citrine + pyrite Right arm: lava, dalmatian jasper, tourmaline, tigers eye, tigers eye + hematite + obsidian ⭐️Chakra stones for positive energy 💫 Back story: When I was still making and selling handmade accessories years ago, I didn’t understand so much about crystals and gemstones back then. I just knew that I love wearing them. The past month, while reorganizing my closet and DIY drawer, I stumbled upon my old jewelry supplies, including old crystals and gemstones I have not touched since closing my online store about 7 years ago. While holding the stones, there was a calming feeling innervated within me, amidst the stress I have been going through lately. Science and religion may not explain it but that’s just how I felt. I’ve been reading a lot lately about crystals and gemstones more so, the story, how they are formed, and the meaning behind every stone. I don’t claim to be an expert on this, just understanding that like all other things, they have a purpose. Will I be making and selling jewelries again? Only time will tell because as it is now, I am extremely busy balancing work, blog and life in general. I mentioned stress. Who doesn’t experience that. Fight or flight response. I fight by keeping my balance, maintaining positivity, meditating (which I’ve been doing nightly), and talking it out to my loved ones. Talking to trusted people help you ventilate the deep seated emotions and worries, not necessarily for advice but just to let it all out. Meditating helps to accept the problem but not be consumed by it because there is a higher God that has master plan for all of us. Lastly, eating and feeding my body healthy food. A daily reminder that I am what I eat and do. Bottomline, we all have ways to work on bettering ourselves, managing stress and tribulations. Whatever works for you works. The ability to conquer whatever life throws at you lies on your ability to trust and believe that it will be alright in the end.... now how to get to the end is your way of coping up. Whatever works for you works. . . . #crystallove #spiritual #healingstones #jewelry #chakras #gemstones #boho #crystalhealing #healingcrystal
  • Need a quick udon “stir-fry” noodles? Try this! Cook udon noodles per package instruction. “Stir-fry” using no oil. Yes, you can. Sauté ingredients (mushrooms, broccoli, cabbage, bell pepper, carrots, minced garlic in vegetable broth (or water). Add vegan oyster sauce. Transfer cooked udon to pan. Mix altogether. Top with sesame seeds and seaweed flakes (optional) 🌱Why no oil? In a vegan whole food plant-based diet, oil is considered processed. When you extract oil from plants, you take away the major nutrients and what you’re left with is pure concentrated oil with very little health benefits. Oil is oil and can potentially contribute to cardiovascular problems. This is particularly a problem for people with existing health issues. 🌱 Isn’t that a strict kind of eating? No and yes. No if you cook mostly at home; when you shop for groceries, just don’t buy oil. Yes, if you eat out a lot. Since you can’t control the amount of oil being used when you eat out, try your best to go oil-free at home. Remember, there’s no such thing as 100% oil-free so the key word here is to AIM for it, especially in situations you have total control with. 🌱 What’s the difference between vegan/veganism and whole food plant-based? Veganism is a lifestyle that goes beyond one’s way of eating. It has no direct impact on health since it’s centered on animal compassion. With that said, you can be vegan and eat processed and junk food. Whole food plant-based in centered on health. Wfpb means eating unprocessed or minimally processed food to get optimum nutrients. Can you be both? In the ideal world, of course yes!!!! I am vegan for the animals and planet, whole food plant based for my health. Remember, these are just labels. One can start out as wfpb then vegan or vice versa. Take note, it’s a journey motivated by 2 different reasons which in turn is cross-beneficial to all 3: Health, animals and the planet. . . . #govegan #veganfood #wholefoodplantbased #veganfoodshare #plantbaseddiet #vegansofig #healthyfood #healthy #whatveganseat #veganism #instafood #veganlife #veganfoodporn #foodie #yummy #food #crueltyfree #healthylifestyle #veganrecipes #eatclean #foodblogger #vegangirl

  • I quit coffee last year and I tell you, the withdrawal was no joke. Since then, I’ve switched to non-caffeinated teas with the exception of matcha (less caffeine but more boost to my energy and beauty... yes it’s an antioxidant). But I miss the coffee taste so my search led me to @teeccino herbal coffee dark roast, made from dandelion. And I kid you not, it does taste like coffee... not strong but definitely similar!
