NOTD: OPI ROAD HOUSE BLUES

Hi guys!

How is September treating you?

Current NOTD comes from OPI's latest collection - Touring America!

My fave of the collection!

Applies smoothly & opaque in 2 coats! Looks black on the nails though!! Which is kind of a bummer, but you can expect that I guess.
The name indicates it may be blue, it looks purple in the bottle && on the nail looks black lol!
If you look really closely, there is the TINIEST HINT OF BLUEY-PURPLE!

I still like it though!

It wears pretty well for a dark-coloured nail polish - lasted me for about 3 days before showing minor tip wear, on the fourth day, you could still get away with it! I'm tempted to take it off & reapply! But I have SOOOO many other nail polishes to try in my stash!!

What do you think of OPI RHB?

What the Samsung wave can do!!

Lol!! How awesome is that? If you saw my other post I posted the other day, Samsung has this "edit" feature on photos!!

Very cool indeed!

I know the iPhone has a bunch of apps that rival Photoshop so I guess this is nothing... But still!! I can do a few other things too! Like make it black and white, and add text!!

Ahhh the little things in life! =D

Does your mobile phone do this?

Crabtree & Evelyn Citron honey & coriandar hand therapy - hand cream review

Product:

Crabtree & Evelyn Citron honey & coriandar hand therapy

Where can you get it from?David Jones

What size did I try?25g

Smell?Refreshingly, unisex, citricy, pleasant & with no hints of floral fragrancing!

Do I recommend it?I am not sure how much this runs for, but I do like it overall as a good nourishing handcream. The price would be on the higher side I believe, so I'd recommend it as a splurge or as an occasional use hand cream. For everyday long term use, unless you had the money to spend, there are cheaper alternatives.

Rating:

4/5
- 1 for the anticipated pricing, but it is really a nice, moisturising hand cream with a pleasant unisex scent that is a joy to use. The scent may be a bit TOO heavy for some, and too heavy for regular use, so this is also considered in the rating!

What hand cream are you using at the moment? Do you like it?

My fave deodorant!!

Hi everyone!!

I know I have not been posting as regularly as I used to! I am so sorry! I have been truly busy with uni... && then I had technical difficulties lol!!

I will be blogging much more frequently now that I can do it from my phone!! =) Awesomeness!! =)

Anyways, as the weather is getting warmer here in Australia it means we will sweat! My fave deodorant is....

The Nivea extra whitening 24hr extra care a-p!

I use it all year round! Because yes, people can sweat in winter too!!

Rating:
4.5/5

It losing .5 a mark because it transfers to clothing, esp. Black clothing! Not a good look!!!!

Why do I like it?
I like that the smell is not strong, the application is easy && not wet, one of these lasts forever!! && I am not allergic to it!

Where did I purchase it from?
Sasa.com

Do I recommend to others?
Yes! I am not sure about the whitening effects, but in general it is a good deodorant!

What deodorant is your fave at the moment?

Update...

I have purchased waaaayyy too many things in the past few months! Among them... nail polish -

Have to figure out how to put photos onto the laptop...!!

Got a new phone... it seems to take good pictures :)

Sooo busy with uni...! -_-

What have you guys been up to?


Lara xo

Will be 22 this month!

I have been so so busy with studying!! Uni is a pain but all good... :) Have an assignment due tomorrow that I should be doing ATM!

Anyways, I have a bunch of pics and stuff to upload...

But I need to go on a nail polish buying ban - seriously. I need to.

Totally lemming

Chanel Perodit

Chanel Orange Fizz

& three OPIs from their new Touring America collection... including... MY address is "Hollywood"!!

NEED TO STOP SPENDING MONEY ON NAIL POLISH! LOL!

I need to shop for better clothes - but not going shopping means that I buy nail polish online! -_- because clothes don't always fit - but nail polish is LOVE!

Anyways - I know it will take ages to finish all the nail polish I currently have (even though I have finished nail polish bottles before - love that feeling - it's like I didn't waste my money! :D), so I need to stop spending on nail polish! But THOSE CHANELS!!!! $39AUD.... each.... *le sigh*

22 in a few weeks... will no longer be 21.... but still 21 for now :D

I need get some new clothes lol... I have nothing to wear, seriously.. haha... I wish I was more fashionable... I have hits & misses though... so at least I am getting there :D

Hope everyone is doing well! Need to study... -_-
