Vidal Sassoon Wave Magic and Saturday Night Nails

Yay, it's Friday!

Despite miserable weather I am still pretty excited about Saturday night. We got invited to a house-warming party.
Tonight I've styled my hair using my favorite hair curler - Vidal Sassoon Wave Magic.
It is very easy to use, I get great results every time and it only takes me 15 minutes to do my hair.
I start with dry hair (I use dry shampoo if I don't have time to wash my hair). Then I mist my hair with heat protectant. I section my hair and work my way from neck to top section. I curl away from my face and leave approx 5 cm from the roots when I do top sections. At the end I use hair spray to set it, let it cool (it also sets the curls), then shake my hair and separate it with fingers. Voilà!
I had my hair done last week at Oscar Oscar City salon and I am extremely happy with their work. It was my first visit there and I will definitely come back. They listened to me, corrected my previous hair dresser work and finally gave me what I have been asking for for the last 18 months.

I like new nail polish trend when you paint your ring finger with different nail polish. I have read somewhere that it supposed to bring you good luck! I think it looks very good, it lets you wear very different accent shade or nail art without making your manicure look OTT. I am wearing OPI Elephantastc Pink and Essie Merino Cool with Essence Make it Golden glitter top coat.

Happy Birthday Barbie!

Barbie turned 53 today! She changed a lot in 53 years and I must say she got better with age In 1959 she looked like this: Beautiful, pale and stylish In 1960's Barbie was quite conservative and traditional as a Nurse and French Fashionista In 1970's iconic Malibu Barbie emerged. In my opinion she started the whole "Barbie" trend - tanned skin, blonde hair and long legs. She also came with a BF Ken and camper van Barbie industry was going strong in 80's. She appeared in vast range of outfist and collections From sweet Peaches n Cream To Over-The-Top Rocker Barbie and Holiday Barbies I grew up in 90's. I remember my best friend's sister brought this one home from Italy in 1991 It was in the former Soviet State and Barbies were very rare and highly prized so to me it was the most beautiful thing ever. Totally Hair Barbie and Teresa were very popular This add used to mesmerise me, it was played during Disney series as well as Hollyw

Buyers Beware - Fake OPI nail polish!

Image
Fake anything especially make-up makes me very angry! Yesterday I was browsing Ebay because I wanted to get some OPI nail polishes and came across few clearly fake ones. I got few OPIs from Ebay and never had an issue. Mine came from US sellers who charged US retail prices for their polishes. They sold lots and lots of them and seemed to specialize in nail products. Yesterday I came across few lots of "OPI" nail polishes. I saw fair dew lots from sellers who don't particularly specialize in nail products. They were "factory seconds" and were missing a label. The shades were very random and I never saw those shades in OPI collections. However I know that some counterfeit OPIs will have a lable with colour name on it. I was fortunate enough and never got a fake OPI nail polish . So I will show you what a REAL one looks like. 1. The front of the bottle Note the writing. There are some variations between old and new editions of OPI but the writing at t

I had my Tragus pierced today!

Image
It is something I wanted to do for few week now. I always liked the look of multiple earrings and even pierced a second hole in my ear when I was 11 (which then I took out and it eventually healed). Tragus piercing to me looked very appealing but painful. However after speaking to few people who had it done I realised it doesn't seem to be as bad. Today I summoned my courage and called Cosmetics Plus at Carindale. They told me to come in as Fridays are usually not very busy. I've applied plenty of EMLA numbing cream on the area 30 min before (however I was told it is best to apply it 45 to 60 min prior). The whole process took 10 minutes and set me back $35 including the earring.     The girl who did my piercing was very nice and friendly. She first marked the spot with a marker pen and asked if I was happy with the placement, I've decided that I wanted it a bit lower hence why you can see a bit of ink residue above the piercing. Then she disinfected the area and a
