OPI recently released new collection dedicated to a new Spider-man movie (yep, another one) I fell in love with two colours and was very happy to find out that they come in mini versions so I ordered Mini collection from US  Into the Night - This perfect midnight blue was made for prowling. I really like thigh bright blue. It has slight purple undertones but it makes it more vivid. The formula is a bit thin so I needed three coats to get decent coverage.   Number One Nemesis - Show your metal in this sparkling nickel. Looks familiar? Yes, it is a dupe of Chanel Graphite. I already have Graphite and will do a post soon comparing them two. This nail polish is simply gorgeous. Indoors it looks like steel grey with olive shimmer but under fluorescent lights or in the sun the shimmer comes alive and you can see different colours in it. Love, love, love it! Just Spotted the Lizard! - Be seen in this reptilian yellow-green. Yes, it is anoth...

I just got an email from them. My picks would be Shea Butter Hand Cream, Sweet Almond Liquid Soap, Verbena Body Wash, Almond Tonic Body Oil, Almond Shower Oil and Aromacholigie Shampoo & Conditioner.

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 really like China Glaze nail polishes. Most of them have very good formulas, come in variety of cool finishes and generally dry quick and last long. Usually I order them online but today I found some at DFO Brisbane store called Cosmetics Fragarance Direct for $7 (glitter and crackle were $10). They didn't have a huge range (maybe 30 shades) but apparently they are going to get more in. I've picked up one called The Ten Man which is a pale silver with fine silver glitter. It is quite sheer but lovely nail polish. I've got two coats on that swatch. On my nail today I am wearing China Glaze For Aurdey which is I must say one of the most popular and loved CG polishes. Plus I've got OPI Black Shatter over the top. This was the first time I've used Shutter and it worked well for me. I applied one coat and used one stroke of the brush. I also had a haircut today (finally). I am trying to grow my hair long and found that my regular Hair Dresser would...

I really wanted a pair of coloured pants or jeans but couldn't find one that was either reasonably priced or of decent quality. Most of lower end jeans were either too thin, too low or too unflattering. Then I found this pair on ASOS and really liked what I saw. I love the colour, length and cut. I just had my finders crossed hoping that fabric won't be too thin or stretchy. I waited till they had sale (15% off) and ordered myself a pair. They came down to $43. I received them today! I am very happy with them! They are true to size, don't cut in anywhere (no muffin top!), fabric is quite decent (not too thin but not too stiff either) and have nice pockets and buttons. The colour is perfect too - bright candy pink. Pinks can be very tricky, certain shades can look cheap and/or tacky. This one is very wearable :) I only had two small issues. The zipped was a bit stiff bit it was easily fixed by rubbing dry soap bar along the metal part. Plus you have to be car...

Yay, I received my Lust Have  It box today! When I opened the parcel I noticed very nice minty scent...it was 1. Lush "Dirty Soap". Like many other Lush products this soap smells so good! Very minty and refreshing, perfect for waking me up. 2. Evo Therapist Shampoo and Conditioner. I got a hair mask sample from this brand before and thought it was quite good. Looking forward to trying these two. 3. Nicole by OPI nail polish. This polish was easy to apply and it dried quickly. I like this fun purple colour. However it doesn't have the same shiny finish like the original OPI nail polishes. 4. ModelCo Lip Gloss in Strip Tease. This lip gloss is quite nice, I like subtle peachy pink shade. It has pleasant subtle scent, feels moisturising on lips and has attached mirror. It is full size too!!! 5. Calvin Klein Sheer Beauty EDT sample. I like that they have included a perfume sample in this lot. The scent itself is a very generic fruity floral. Some people mig...

I know that I already have lots of perfumes but I couldn't resist  Lanvin Eclat d'Arpege Perles. I finished a bottle of the original Eclat d'Arpege last year. I never got sick of it while I had it and once it was gone I missed that familiar scent. It was also a subtle fragrance but on me it would last all day. I also received lots of complements while wearing it. So when I was 2011 Limited Edition version on strawberrynet I got it without hesitation. It was on special and I paid around $30 for 50 ml. It smells very familiar to the original one, maybe with more dominant tea note. Top notes - lemon and lilac Heart notes - peony, peach blossom & green tea leaves Base notes - white cedar, white musk & amber I love pearly shimmery bottle too. Can't wait to wear it tomorrow!

It has been a while since I've done my top 10. I am currently reviewing my routine and returning to some tried and tested products. I have combination skin and can get break outs if I don't use right products. Therefore I am not too keen to experiment a lot with skincare particularly if it contains oil. I am also prone to congested pores and if I use something that clogs them I get small pimples all over my forehead. 1. Clinique Rinse-off Foaming Cleanser . I was given a set of Clinique skincare 10 years ago and out of all other products I likes this one the best. I've tried few other make-up removers/cleansers but keep coming back to this one. I wear make-up every day so it is important that my cleanser removes all my make-up and doesn't irritate my eyes. This one ticks all the boxes. It is gentle on my skin and doesn't burn my eyes, it foams really well and removes make-up better than any other foaming cleanser I've tried. 2. Clinique Anti-Blemish Solu...

I was given this candle by my friend and I am currently burning it... http://www.glasshousefragrances.com     It smells divine. Very fresh and not overpowering yet I can smell it throughout my house. I love the Orange Blossom note, it makes my house smell "clean" :) The candle burns very evenly but a bit faster then my other candles, probably because it is made from food grade paraffin wax as opposed to soy wax. Thats the only issue I have with this product, I wish they started using soy wax like other high-end candle manufacturers.

Over a week ago I was attending a special event and wanted my skin to look flawless. Unfortunately my current YSL foundation didn't have enough coverage. So I went through my samples stash and found new Diorskin Forever Flawless Perfection Fusion Wear foundation. I must say that I was very impressed with this foundation. It had thin consistency, was very pigmented and felt light on my skin. I remember using the original Diorskin Forever foundation. It was good but not great due to being very heavy and looking like a mask. I am very delighted that the formula has been improved! It covered all imperfections well however it had very natural looking finish. I think I've finally found my HG foundation! I am usually NC25 in MAC so 020 Light Beige was a good match for my medium-fair skin. I've ordered one through Strawberrynet (they had 10% off make-up not that long ago) and it came down to $44.50! I just sincerely hope that it won't break me out. I also craved b...
