Girly Thread v. Nail Porn, Makeup Lust and everything else girlie girl

I got my True Blood makeup kit and my korres set as well.
I am VERY happy with Tarte's eye shadow and the eyeliner is a pencil gel which is okay. I like the way it goes on but it's not as easy as the brush with liquid eyeliner.......
Here is the kit- It's super cute :)

Today I blended the colors- fairy, telepath, waitress, werewolf and 'V' .
I used the eyeliner, which again is such a nice glide but not as easy to use as a regular liquid.
Here are two shots- Ignore my hair- I hadn't done it yet :D



Edit: Oh man....I thought the picture I took of the kit had the clear sheet with the names on them.
Oh well.
 
Ocean - I love that look on you!

A girlfriend of mine just returned to the States after spending a semester abroad in London, and as a welcome back thing her mom took a few of us out for manicures and pedicures. I got OPI Manicurist of Seville on my toes and had planned on doing Alpine Snow with Blue Shatter on my fingers, but ended up sticking with just the white. It looked so mod, I loved it.

OPI polish was on sale at the salon for $5.50, so I couldn't resist picking up Teenage Dream.

Later that day, I received OPI Simmer and Shimmer, Bring on the Bling and a China Glaze Holographic Topcoat in the mail.

^I CAN'T WAIT to try this look!!
 
Thanks Queenbee :)

Those nails look awesome!!

I'm going to try out the Wild Rose Mask tonight from Korres.
I've used the Evening Primrose eye serum, the rose serum and the cleaner that came in my kit- I like them.......I'm hoping I will be more impressed after one use though. Especially with the serums. The Wild Rose cream seems almost stickyish or not creamy enough. I wasn't so excited and was hoping for more but we will see if when used after the mask if it is nicer.
 
Yay COTB!

Has anyone used the website Silver Jewelry Club before? A blogger who seems reputable posted about them. You pay $6.99 S&H for each piece... the rest is FREE.

I may give them a go if they have something in my ring size. I have too many pendants already, and some of the rings are so pretty and delicate. I'll likely take the risk at that price.
 
Looking back at my last few posts, I have been on a serious nail polish binge. I.Can't.Stop.

Here's a pretty mediocre phone picture of the nails I had last week. It's a base of Zoya dove, and using scotch tape I did diagonals of Zoya Trixie and Zoya Jules. This was a pretty muted look for me, but I really did enjoy it. The only problem was I think because of the four coats of polish, plus three coats of topcoat, it was so bulky that the tips started to wear almost immediately.

Ulta had a really great deal going this week, I'm not sure when it ends, but if you bought $17 of OPI products, you got a free full size bottle of one of the OPI for Ulta exclusive colors. There is also a $3.50 off $10 purchase, so I couldn't resist this deal.
I picked up the OPI Serena Williams Wimbledon set, containing Grape Set Match and Servin' Up Sparkle.

This is both colors, when layered:

The set was $14.95 so I bought a little mini lotion to get to $17 and then picked this color, How You Blue-in? My total was $14.43 for three bottles of polish and a little bottle of Avo Juice.

Do you ladies have any tips for maintaining your cuticles? My nails are fine considering the damage I did to them with acrylics, but my cuticles are a nightmare.
 
My latest beauty video is up (at last!). I have done a review on the amazing Inecto Pure Coconut range of products - they've really helped my Winter scaley-skin issues and I adore the amazing coconut scents. Almost makes me feel like it's Summer again! :)
 
^ I like it a lot.
Some brands wind up making my lips dry out afterwards- the Korres doesn't.

I got a Philosophy Body wash for free from Sephora w/ my last order- I like it, so now I'm wondering if they're other stuff smells as strong and as good.....
It's hard to decide online b/c who knows how 'Grace' smells or the other scents..... :\
I want to know the full description of the scents :D
I'll have to look up their site.
But I may try out some of their stuff next pay check......
 
^ I wear the Amazing Grace by Philosophy fragrance, and I love it. It is a very clean scent, not really floral, or sweet like vanilla or other foods (not smelling like food is a must for me).

Of all the scents I wear, my boyfriend says Amazing Grace is his favorite.
 
So i've decided to buy a Clarisonic Mia facial cleanser. They're not cheap, but i figure that i pay $120 for microdermabrasion every few months, and this will lessen the need for micro. I've only heard good things about the Mia, and i've found some that are almost half price from a reputable dealer in the USA.

My face has started breaking out badly :( (i say badly, but it's not *that* bad, it's just that i always seem to have a few spots on my face, and some of them are doozies). I used to suffer from cystic acne when i was in my early 20s, but it went away, but now it seems to be coming back in some form. I have a feeling it's due to stress, as i'm not eating badly and am drinking the correct amount of water most days. I'm tempted to see a naturopath, however they are SO expensive and we have an interstate move to save for, among other things. I'm hoping that the Clarisonic will help with it. (i don't expect it to completely rid me of acne, but i've heard that it's really helped with severe cystic acne - i only have a mild case). *sigh*
 
I have Eternal Grace body lotion (another gift) which is very floral. Not my preferred scent but it is light enough not to be overpowering.
 
My skin is the best it has ever been since i have been just keeping my skin care simple and using aloe vera gel and a deep nourishing moisturizer on top. All my eczema issues are completely gone now, as well as i rarely get any pimples now too. I had no idea something so simple was the answer for me. So glad i listened to my gut and didn't spend all that mony on dermatologists even though soooo many people advised me to.

Also i keep getting told i look like about 23 as of late.... i think it's the aloe vera firming up my skin and protecting it so much from the season elements. It feels good to feel good again.

One thing i have found with myself as of late though is i seem to be allergic to perfumes :( Even if i put a little bit on, i get a rash all down my chest. Sucks being so allergic to the pretty nice things. I am now too scared to wear any perfumes when i go out in case ill flare up! I don't itch, just feel hot and rashy. It's crap!
 
Eternal Grace made me break out in a rash the first time I put it on.
It has macadamia oil in it which I am allergic to.

DFRS you have got me on the aloe vera kick. It is was less expensive than my regular night cream. Thank you!
