~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I’ve really put both these products to the test!

First… the nail polish, the colour is in Tallulah… it’s a limited edition… deep purple.  I had this polish on for a week, and I helped a friend move out of her apartment (includes helping her pack, moving boxes and all that stuff).  I helped her move out the second day I had the polish on.  By the end of the week… my nails look like this…  IMG_0001

There was minimal chipping!! There’s also a few scratches on the surface, but it was hardly noticable!  Keep in mind that I’m pretty rough with my hands… I still do whatever I need to get done without being too careful about my finished nails… I’m just too lazy, and I like to get things done fast. haha

I complained about the price of it in one of my haul posts… but for it’s staying power… I can’t complain about that anymore! It’s amazing =D  Under normal conditions, i doubt there’ll be any chips =D  I’m impressed!  Hands down the best polish I’ve tried!!!! [I have yet to try OPI though] haha

Alright… onto my never ending search for a eyeliner… in terms of liquid liners… I think I found my ultimate liner… cheap & it LASTS!

I’ve had the liner on since 9am, and took the picture around 9pm… after I went out for a run! the liner really stays put!  I have MAC’s fluidline on the lower lash line, and that’s smudged a bit… but the liquid liner is still in place! Definitely recommend checking this liner out. =D

Updateeee

Tuesday, May 19, 2009

Wow! I feel like I havn’t blogged in FOREVER!  I’ve been job hunting… and ok… I admit… a little lazy.  Oh geez… I’ve got quite a few things to blog about, which I will get around to soon! … a few looks … my new handbag, which literally screamed my name when I saw it… It told me ‘Cathy… BUY ME!’ LOL … I still have some BB Cream reviews, and a review on the NARS nail polish…

I went for a job interview today… and I GOT THE JOB!  =D  Working at the bookstore for my University!  It was the only place that replied me out of the numerous places I’ve applied to.   No one wants me =[ =[

I will be doing more posts… SOOON!

NARS Tallulah Swatch

Monday, May 11, 2009

Continuing with my purple obsession… I decided to go for the dark purple nails… Here’s a swatch for the new limited colour by NARS.  Me love it!

2 coats…

Tallulah & Blue Lagoon are my first NARS nail polishes.  I really like how smooth and pigmented these polishes go on!  The price is a bit hefty.  For 2 polishes with tax was $47 CDN =S  But … the quality of it is amazing =]  Today is the second day of wearing it, and there are no chips, nothing!  Even with nail polish on, I’m not really that careful when I do things, so the polish gets scratched on chipped pretty quickly… at least the Sally Hansen ones I usually wear do… Will update on how long this lasts me! =]

Weekend Haul…

Sunday, May 10, 2009

Just a short post… I visited Sephora this weekend to check out the limited nail polish collection from NARS.  I also went to MAC to get a brush since I still had a bit left on my gift card. =]  My haul…

MAC A Rose Romance Haul + Look!

Thursday, May 7, 2009

My haul is quite microsized haha… Here’s what I bought

IMG_2307[Loving Touch See Thru Lip Colour, Silverthorn e/s, Love & Friendship Nail Laquer]

The collection was really pretty, but I had to limit myself to what I should get=[

I already have Creme-de-Violet… Here’s the look I did …

IMG_2436 

IMG_2345

I took Creme-de-Violet and put it all over the lid, then I took Silverthorn and it put over Creme-de-Violet on the inner half.  I then intensified the outer corner with a bit more Creme-de-Violet and just a hint of Black Tied e/s.

On the lower lash line… Silverthorn on the inner half, and Creme-de-Violet on the outer half.

I put on falsies to finish the look… Something I rarely do because I really SUCK at it haha… I’m getting better at it though! =]  I received these falsies from a swap.  It’s some Korean Brand, I don’t know where the cover went so I couldn’t really tell you much about it.

Lips: Mac – Gingerroot lipliner, Marquise’D l/s, Love Nector l/g

Purples…..

Wednesday, May 6, 2009

Me + purple… so predictable!  Here’s another purple look I did.  This time, it’s a bit less dramatic, more on the chic side, I’d say.

IMG_2299

I only used 2 colours here =] MAC Satin Taupe on lid and Nocturnelle on lower lash line.  Then the rest of the same old routine… liner + mascara haha  That’s basically it!
