you'll fall for anything."

Now....

Here are the thoughts and frame of mind I am in atm since I will be moving soon and need to get rid of things!!

DECLUTTER!!!

I have a bunch of stuff written in a notebook so I am going to type a few of them up here...

- Clutter = visual noise

- It's better to have less of what we love than to have lots of what we like!

- All makeup and beauty products should be used within 3 years of production.

- Makeup should all fit into one cosmetic bag if it doesn't you have too much!

- If you haven't worn it in a year, you're unlikely to start now - goes for clothing and makeup!

Need help decluttering?

Here is a webpage I've bookmarked to come back and read sometime: here!
Looks super useful!

Cute puppy and dog pictures:

Love the luxurious packaging!!

Reptile kind of print!

Has a mirror to, as you can see in the photo below.

Swatches

Swatched - once or twice each

The Pure color eyeshadows are a lot more creamy and pigmented & apply a lot better than the duo.

I much prefer them to the duo. The duo was a bit hard & was less pigmented than the pure color eyeshadows.

This nail polish swatch comes to your courtesy of my mother's nail polish collection/stash!

My mother purchased this from a local chemist some time last year for only AU$2!

I actually don't own any Sinful Colors np! But how inexpensive is it?! :D

 I did give Sinful Color's 831 Hottie to a friend though (as a gift, she let me swatch it!)

and it looks pretty dupable to OPI katy Perry Last Friday Night!!

Have you tried Sinful Colors nail polishes yet?

NOTD: OPI Red My Fortune Cookie + Review

From the HONG KONG collection!

1 coat:

2 coats:

My nail polish painting skills are super great now! Hahaha! Go me! :D

LOVE this shade on me! I did 2 manis in a row with this color!

It's still on my nails (just mani no. 2!!)

How long did it last on my nails?
I used 1 coat of Essie First Base Base Coat, 2 coats of OPI colour & 1 top coat of Seche Vite
& it lasted only 3 days until I felt like I needed to repaint them.
I could see tip wear by the 2nd day and that annoyed me a bit. But it still looked great!
By the third day it had started to chip and peel so I had to remove it.

How opaque is the OPI nail lacquer?
It looks pretty good with one coat but richer with 2 coats :)

Verdict?
I. AM. SO IN LOVE!! <3!!

Out of 10?


Colour/Color: 
10/10

Long-wearing ability:
6.9/10
(above average, 3 days is pretty standard)

How fast drying? 
6/10
(not THAT quick, but quicker than some others I have tried)

What's on your nails atm?
