Like a kid in a candy store!!

My friends decided to band together and buy me something for my birthday that I've been eyeing off for ages!! An Inglot Freedom System eyeshadow palette!!! Squee!! My hand ended up looking a mess but eventually I narrowed down the chosen 10. Unfortunately the store had run out of the 10 eyeshadow square cases so the lovely sales assistant wrote all the selected shadow numbers down so that when the cases came in (hopefully Tuesday) my besties can pick it up!! So tune in to see what I ended up with :)

NOTD, Purple Poisson!!!

Finally got my self some flakies!! Sooo stoked! I love the effect that these polishes have over other colors, somewhat scaly (hence the "poisson") shiny and  sparkly etc etc... I currently have Orly Nail Rescue on, so please pardon the lumpiness..

Hair stuff... (50% off TIGI)

having done a massive cleanup of the bathroom I discovered that loads of my hair products had died a painful and somewhat sticky death.. So due this I am forced to go shopping for hair products once more; this time I am looking for products that smell nice.. (the main reason that I placed the old products in the back of the cupboard is that they smelled a little weird)
So into my life came  TIGI again, I have already had Smoothing Stuff from the Dumb Blonde range, which I love.. It's a wonderful shimmery finishing creme which is light (as long as it's used sparingly) and doesn't weigh my fine hair down; and smells fantastic!! (strawberries)  So walking passed my local Stefans hairdresser I was gobsmacked to see that they have 50% off TIGI products!! I was very restrained and bought only 2 products.. Superstar blowdry lotion and Hard To Get texturizing paste.. So far when I've used them I haven't got the stiff hair syndrome that my previous similar products gave me but still enough body and control to survive the day at work. The smell does fade but I don't mind that seeing as it won't clash with whatever perfume I'm wearing that day.. and the funky looking packaging is awesome!!

Superstar Blowdry Lotion

Are there any other TIGI products you'd recommend?

If you cant get to a salon they do have an online shop..

New stuff!!

Just come back from the opening of Beautiful You's Day Spa. The treatments look fab and the spa bath looks redunkulously cool.. It looks like a punk studded bath it has that many jets in it..*drool* There was a small baggie handed out on entry and there were a few samples of Thalgo, and a mini Essie emery board.  I could not resist the Essie Spring Collection mini set.. I haven't tried any essie products yet and collections of minis are always a good way to go when sampling a brand for the first time..

Red Nouveau, Tart Deco, Lilacism, Pop Art Pink.

Just a quickie mani..

I did this in no time at all, hence all the messiness.. It's a quick drying polish (not holo quick but still speedy) gorgeous blue jelly base with a fine greenish glitter, not at all chunky like Nubar Night Sparkle.  I only had time to do 2 coats of polish hence it being slightly sheer..

OPI Catch Me in Your Net

Also on my recent jaunt over to New Zealand stopped in a Nike store and picked up these beauties, brown glitter and metallic red... <3

Venomous Villains Collection..

I can't wait till this collection from Mac hits the online shop! The Malefiecent collection is where all the polishy goodness is.. I don't think I will be able to wait until I see swatches (as I normally do) I'll just be compelled to buy them as soon as they're released.. Formidable! is looking a little like Orly's Space Cadet only a bit more purple.. Yummo!

Mean & Green; Formidable!;Bad Fairy.

I was looking for a widget to countdown till the release but couldn't find an appropriate one, does anyone know where to find intructions on how to make your own countdown widget?

...... here are the 1st pics

Revlon Scented Polishes are back; this time not in a cute pack of three but individually sold.. I've had Peach Smoothie on my nails since I bought it. Its a peach creme base with small flecks of pink and gold, it's pretty enough but the scent doesn't seem to last as long as the ones from last summer.. I still have to try the rest so i haven't finalized my judgement yet.

Beach; Grape Icy; Gum Drop; Cotton Candy; Peach Smoothie.

China Glaze has equal claim to being my favourite polish brand as OPI.. I love the extravagant range of colors and the huge amount of glitter that has been coming out recently..

Straight Up; 3 Martini Lunch; Tanished & Varnished; Shaken Not Stirred; Martini Pedicure; Sass in a Glass.

Grape Pop;Four Leaf Clover; Sugar High; Re-Fresh Mint; Light as Air.

Sahara Sapphire; Midnight Blue Glitter; Sapphire in the Snow; Merry Midnight; My Private Jet.

Face of Australia is a brand i haven't tried before but with my online shopping ban I haven't got any of the CG poolside collection.. (yet) I was pleasantly surprised by the application, a couple of coats was all I needed, it was matte like all good neons are but all the more reason to apply top coat.. and these babies lasted.. 3 days straight without tipwear!!

These babies did have names but unfortunately all the labels came off :(
