essence makeup in Vancity

Essence has finally arrived in CANADA! I finally hunted down a Shoppers in Vancouver that had the essence line in. I think I may have scared the salespeople there with my enthusiasm…picked up tons of great things aside from polishes. How can you resist when everything is 4.99 and under?

Fun Nail Sets

Remember back when I posted about Beauty World's awesome nail cocktail sets here, here, and here? Well, on my recent trip to Hong Kong, I discovered that they have been making more awesome sets that included some nail art tools and better instructions as well. Aren't these a good idea? People are so smart at marketing...and I am such a sucker for marketing.

Sneak Peek: HK Haul Part I

Hi all! I am back from my trip and it was wonderful. I got to see my family and friends and spent some much needed time resting, eating, and shopping! Here is a picture of the first part of my nail polish haul. I tracked down CanMake and bought some really cool polishes. The brown one is a texture coat that deposits sprinkles so you can make doughnut nails! I can't wait to try it out.

Spookettes and more

Here is a quick look at my medium size-ish haul today. I picked up the mini Halloween set of OPI (love the glow in the dark!), 2 polishes I was eyeing from China Glaze Let it Snow collection, and some CND polishes that caught my eye today. I also did some quick swatches!

From L to R: CND Plum Truffle & Effect / OPI Zom-Body to Love / OPI I Only Date Werewolves / OPI Hes My Boo / CG Ring In the Red / OPI Mummy Knows Best with CG Snowglobe (my favourite Christmas polish thus far!) layered on top

New treasures

Here is a post about some nail polish I acquired lately from my friend. She was adamant that she was not going to use them; therefore I was only too happy to give them a new home. She runs a fashion blog named HER WAISE CHOICE and if you have time, check it out! She can re-use clothing articles in so many creative ways that I only wish I could. Perhaps if we both have time, we can coordinate an outfit and nails post!

Also, meet my two new babies! I finally bought two OTTLITE natural daylight lamps for my lightbox. It really does make a difference as you can tell from the haul picture and the ones from my previous post. Although I would love more sun shots, at least I can rely on these when Mr. Sun does not want to cooperate. That is all for now! Thanks for reading. It means a lot!

OPI Pirates of the Caribbean

I got a call this morning informing me that the new OPI Pirates of the Caribbean line was in so I made a trip to my local beauty supplier store and got my hands on a few of the colors and a much coveted SILVER shatter (it was the last one!) I will swatch them soon and use them all somehow in a design. It is the first time I have loved every single color in a collection...maybe I should buy the last 2 colors with the remainder of my birthday money. You decide for me Polish Addicts! Tell me in your comments if I should also pick up Sparrow me the Drama and Skulls & Glossbones.

From left to right: Stranger Tides, Steady as She Rose, Silver Shatter, Planks a Lot, Mermaid's Tears

Helmer love

I finally gave in a bought a helmer! I absolutely love it. I can organize all my nail polishes by color now. I don’t remember why I didn’t buy one earlier. Whee! I spent the rest of the day building it (all by myself J) and organizing my polishes. However, the downside of this is the awareness of some colors that I definitely lack and the amount of space still left inside…which can only lead to more polish shopping. Attached is a picture of a mini haul to get me started on filling some of the empty space…oh my.

Enter the giveaway here!

MAC Haul - Disney Edition
















Here’s a sneak peek of my MAC haul today! The long awaited Disney and MAC collaboration was finally released in stores today and I was so excited I had trouble falling asleep. MAC Venomous Villains line is split into four parts, each corresponding to a specific Disney Villain. The colors were derived from the original Disney sketches and the original sketches are seen on the packaging box. MAC featured Maleficient from Sleeping Beauty, Evil Queen from Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, Cruella de Vil from 101 Dalmatians, and Dr. Facilier from The Princess and the Frog. Along with great makeup colors, lip glosses and powders, they also released 3 new limited edition nail polishes. Stay tune for swatches and review!

Polish Haul
















Just a quick post - I'm so excited! Here is a picture of my mini-haul of polishes I picked up today! It is a preview of all the swatches/designs that are to come later. I didn't take all the China Glaze and Orly polishes out of the box, so you can guess from the picture what colors I chose ;)

Hope you are all having a wonderful day. Thanks for reading!
