TAG: Nail polish obsession



Nail polish Obsession Tag

Questions:

1. What is your favourite brand of nail polish?
I would have to say OPI they have a great colour selection and dont chip easily

2. Glitter or no glitter?
Glitter I love glitter nail polish but its a pain to take off so not all the time.

3. OPI, China Glaze or Essie?
I would have to say OPI same reasons as question 1. China Glaze has nice colours but chips easily
And Essie I have not tried enough to form an opinion on it but they have great clours.

4. When do you change your nail polish?
I change my nail polish once a week usually Sunday afternoon

5. Whats your favourite colour on your nails?
I cant choose just one specific colour but I really like light pinks and dark midnight or cobalt blues.

6. Darks or brights?
It depends on the season and my mood usually darks in the Fall and Winter and Brights in the Spring and summer. I don't like one over the other.

7. What are you wearing on your nails right now?
I am not wearing anything on my fingers at the moment but I am wearing "Blue me away" from the Sally Hansen hard as nails extreme wear collection on my toes.

8. Matte nails in or out?
It depends on the colour I think black matte nails are cool but for the most part not a big fan

9. French manicure?
I like french manicures but I have never had one done on myself

10. Whats your favourite winter colour?
Blazing Blue by Sally Hansen insta-dry line
Lucertainly look marvelous by OPI
Khloe had a little Lam Lam by Nicole by OPI

Home Decor: framed shopping bags


Hey everyone so I saw this cool idea on www.elleandblair.com
About framing shopping bags.
I think it is a lovely idea and I would definitely try it out.
I always keep pretty shopping bags 
but never knew what to do with them until now.
You could also use gift bags as well to make a beautiful wall collage.
Like I have pictured above.
I would love to try this out and I will post a picture as soon as I do.
 hope you enjoyed this.

What do you think of this idea??

Review: L'oreal eye makeup remover


Today I will be reviewing the L'Oreal gentle eye make up remover.
Now I have mixed feelings on this eye makeup remover.
The bottle pictured above is repurchased there for this is my second bottle of it.
Both times they were given to me as a gift.
The first time I didn't mind it and thought it did the job decently.
The second time I have not been liking it at all.
It does an OK job at taking off eyeshadow
but when it comes to eye liner it does not help one bit!!! :(
It does not come off easily and involves a lot of rubbing your eyelids
which is not good for the skin around your eyes.
Overall I was not satisfied by this product and would not recommend it.

Rating: 2 out of 5

Repurchase: no

Price: $8.50 (CAD)

Have any of you tried this makeup remover? 
What did you think of it?

Fashion Trend: High Low hemline.


The high low hemline has been seen as a trend all over the runways and malls.
The high low hemline is shorter in the front and longer in the back.
It has been seen on skirts, dresses and shirts.
I happen to have a top with a high low hemline
that I purchased at Forever 21 and I love it.
High low shirts are a lot more versatile and easy for anyone to wear. 
I find the high low dresses and skirts are harder to pull off.
If you have the right outfit then it can look fabulous.
I also find that it tends to look more flattering on a taller frame.
Because it then accentuates the length of the legs.

So I would give this trend a 3 out of 5 rating.
I would probably not purchase a High low skirt for myself 
because I am a bit short.

NYX eyeshadow review


Today I have a Review on NYX eyeshadow.
This is from the 'triple eye shadows for sexy eyes only line.'
I love these eye shadows so much. 
They are super pigmented and they feel like velvet when you touch them.
They are pressed eye shadows that feel almost creamy.
They stay on all day with a very small amount of creasing.
(note this is without an eye primer)
It comes with an appliquater, but I prefer to apply it with my fingers,
for more control.
They have a wide range of colour trio's and come at an affordable price.

Rating: 4 out of 5
Re Purchase: Definetly would re purchase this item
Price: $10.99 (CAD)

The colours from left to right: Bronze, Rust and Copper

Have you tried any of NYX shadows??
