Strawberry Parfait

I have been addicted to watching one of chef youtubers lately. She is Laura Vitale, you can check her youtube channel here and her website here. She is my most favourite chef guru recently. I found her recipes and cooking show are very easy to understand and somehow i feel like everytime i watch her show, it's like she transferring all her cooking spirit into me lol. Really im telling you now, if you are cooking lover, u should check her videos and recipes!

Well, yesterday was my first time tried out one of her very easy and simple recipe. It's Strawberry Parfait. It's actually "Berry Parfait".  But i only have strawberry in my firdge. It's soo yummy, beautiful and healthy! Loveee it :)

And to make this, these are all you need : 

- Strawberries - cut them into small nice chunks, sprinkle sugar on top of it and toss it.

- Yogurt - i use strawberry one. 

- Granola - i made my own granola. and yes i used her recipe. click here for more details. On the recipe, it suppose to use dried fruits and i dont because i dont have it but it turn out as good :)

After you have all your ingredients, then make it. Start with couple tablespoons of yogurt, then put strawberry on it then granola. Repeat the process and top it off with granola. Just like this :

Now this is my favourite snacks/breakfast. The great thing that this is healthy and taste so good. I barely eat fruits by itself, i found it's so boring. Well to get complete recipe, click here for Berry Parfait! I hope you guys enjoy this post. :)

Swatch : Urban Decay Naked 2 + other little tiny Sephora haul

I am sooo excited!!!!
Finally, after did alot of consideration either original Naked palette or the Naked 2, i decided to grab this one :D:D

I bought this from Sephora for $50

I know im kind of late to have this palette by now, and you know guys i stared at this palette so much since it arrived yesterday afternoon lol. 

I heard some people saying on Youtube that Naked 2 more matte eyeshadows. Hmm... i dont think so. I noticed the only matte ones are Foxy, Tease and Blackout. The rest are beautiful shimmery eyeshadows. I lovee this palette! Lets see for more close up!

Swatches :

swatches without primer

If somebody would ask me which shade is my most favourite , that would really giving me a hard time. Because i dont know!!! really. i love all of them. they are soo gorgeous and very good to go palette for all of the time!

Well, i made some comparison of eyeshadows that real close of one another from this palette and Urban Decay Book of Shadow IV. I wish i had more of urban decay palettes to get better comparison, anyway here they are :

 i know they arent that close enough one another but i think they similar. 

arent they look exactly same?? what do you think? 

Oh yeah FYI, Suspect and Verve are also available in Rollergirl Palette!

Enough for eyeshadows, here are other items contained from the Naked 2 :

a travel size Lip Junkie Lipgloss

the swatch :

Also a double ended Good Karma Shadow/Crease Brush :

And now, these are altogether "Little Tiny" of my Sephora haul : 

I made twice purchases, that is why i got 6 samples instead of 3 in case you are wondering :) I will talk about other items next time. Thanks so much for viewing , i hope you enjoy this post! Bye :)
