Model Co Free Eyeshadow & Discount Code

Hi Everyone!

I still haven't been able to transfer photos from my phone to my lap top... so no pics but...


(AKA WHAT I PICKED UP TODAY....)


CLEO's Australia Current Edition has..


A FREE MODEL CO EYE SHADOW TRIO worth $39
for all readers who purchase it

There are 3 to collect
(but do you buy more than 1 of the issue to collect the eyeshadow? I mean, it makes sense since the e/shadow is worth $39... but... I have not done this before, have you?)

Palette choices available:
- Smokey Eye
- Bronzed Goddess (I got this one! Soooo predictable... I am ALWAYS drawn to these shades!!)
- Island Fever

IF I could I would collect all of them!! But... umm... the person at the checkout might think I am weird... or have hoardering issues... or... I COULD USE SELF-CHECKOUT! :D

Pictures to come, promise!

I also got a bunch of new stuff to show you guys, need to figure out how to transfer pics... OR find my camera & accessories!!!! (Later sounds more probable!)


***
The eyeshadow pallete is "Made in PRC" (aka China)



ALSO

THERE IS A DISCOUNT CODE OFFERED TO ALL CLEO READERS

HAUL:

SECHE RESTORE

Professional Kit

59mL

Here's what it claims to do...

How to make goopy nail polish 'new' again?

Put a few drops of this in it, shake/roll and leave for a few minutes then apply! The formula should be less gloopy, if it is still a bit then add a few more drops of the Seche Restore!!

Have I tried it?

Yes, and it works! :D (Hence, how I can explain the method above!)

HAUL TO COME:

Victoria Secret Products

What have you been hauling lately?

Still haven't gotten around to getting this book yet. Or seeing the movie! :(

OPI natural nail base coat

Here it is before I used it 2 more times... :)

It got gloopy & i could not take any more out then I threw it out...

about 6 months

Hit or miss?

Essie Good To Go Top Coat Review

pros:

- fast drying

- nice square bottle

- clear bottle

- nice brush

cons:

- does not work with OPI nail polishes for me... or any other nail polish brand... ONLY ESSIE... this may just be me? But it chips in a couple days with other brands :( booo!!!

would I repurchase?

maybe... but I have a backup of this :) (in an upcoming haul!! tune in!!) and will use that happily with Essie nps only

Have you tried this yet? What's your fave top coat?

What's on your nails today?

The cause of my addiction: Butter London Fash Pack – Swatch & Review (NOTD)

Here is my single lonely Butter London nail polish!

As the title suggests… it was the nail polish that started my addiction!! How did it happen?

I grocery shopping & it was attached to one of the magazines, (I already had the mag but bought another copy to give a copy to my mum & kept the nail polish on the new mag! :D)

So... prior to this, my mother had given me 2 nail polishes - A clear Rimmel one (which I have finished! So no longer in my collection!) and a Cutex frosty nail polish (I love!! I have used sooo much of it! So afraid to use it all up but will cuz it's perfect for Summer & Spring pedis!!!!)

So I started with 2 nail polishes.... (I had more but purged ages ago & they were cheap brands!)

&& then... BA DA BAM!!!!

This came along!

2 coats:

&&&& I began to purchase more nps.... -_-

ahhaha

- This may be a dupe for Chanel's Particulere (is that how you spell it....?)

- Nice fall shade... but it's a bit meh for me now... maybe just my mood lol - I will give it another chance later.. I have been into bright colors these days!

What's your nail polish story?
