So I never paint my nails, mainly because it just chips off. I was feeling girly. I think this is a great look for someone who can't wait for the polish to dry and smudges it or chips it easily.

Ooh Fawkes, how exciting! I would *love* to take the plunge and get laser down there, and for my pits.

I'm super interested to hear how you go, I've heard it's painful and takes a few sessions but the results are meant to be very very long-lasting.

I've seen session plans on sale via the one-day sale sites recently, so it might be worth my sniffing around for an awesome deal. :)
 
It took 14 sessions (one per month) for one of my friend's brazilian laser and she waxed every month for years prior to that. They told her it would take 6 initially. This is something the interests me. Over the long term laser is less expensive. My friend said if I can handle a tattoo, I could handle laser. Let us know how it goes Fawkes.
 
Went to Sally Beauty Supply yesterday.

I got a gel eyeliner but I'm having a little trouble, but perhaps not as much trouble as I have with the liquid. I don't know. I need some instruction perhaps.

I got a "Punki Pink" nail polish

and I thought I would share pictures with you!

Props to the bf and his awesome paint job. (His hands are more steady than mine so he does them for me from time to time! I think it would be weird to let anyone else hold my hand to do my nails!)

The camera is on my obsolete phone but you get the idea

^an angled eyeliner brush was a godsend for me for gel liner. it made application much much easier

^Whoa. I've never seen that before!!
I am so used to the normal straight, that I would probably mess my eyes up if I tried that! :D
I use Almay's liquid eyeliner and love it- I don't think I could change- I'm afraid I would choose something that I don't like as much........I've thought recently about trying out a more expensive brand but I'm worried it would be a waste of money :\

Any suggestions for good BLACK liquid eyeliner?
I may just stick with Almay b/c I <3 it.
 
So I am addicted to Sephora and I purchased a set that has an eye liner in it-
I'll let you know how it is DFRS......
It's an eyeshadow, liner set from Tarte for True Blood :D

I've been looking for eyeshadow in some of those colors, so I was super excited to find that- AND I can feed my ridiculous True Blood cheese ball addiction in one swoop :)

I also ordered more Korres products b/c I'm IN LOVE with them all.

That last shipment with the Japanese Rose showergel and lotion and lip butter is AMAZING. The makeup remover/cleanser wipes are AMAZING. and the Jasmine body Butter is also.....guess!!? Yeah, it's amazing ;) hahaha
I ordered :

i got the lotion for christmas. it is one of my favorite scents :)
 
Last week's mani: Zoya's Keiko topped with Nubar 2010. I really love this Nubar effect, it turns any polish into a reflective, light catching surface.

Currently: Not Like The Movies by OPI. I read on a blog last week that there are two versions of this color, the original duochrome formula which flashes from violet, to silver to green, and just a plain dark silver version. Luckily, I picked this up the day it came out and I got the duochrome!

And...my latest little mini-haul. Won Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous and A Grape Fit by OPI on eBay, and picked up Lacey Lavender by Sally Hansen on sale at the grocery store.

I always always ALWAYS use Christian Dior liquid liner. It's so easy to use and it has a beautiful smooth, long tip almost like a calligraphy brush. It's a bit expensive but every other brand I've used runs or fades over the course of the day.
