Moved!

So after much MUCH MUCH pain in the ass tweaking, I finally got my Wordpress set up. You heard right, I am moving. The main reason is because I despise the way I have to insert pictures on Blogger, and also the fact that I cannot reply to each individual comment, instead I have to make a comment of my own and do bulk reply (which I really hate as a Blogger reader as well...), although there aren't much comments...but I like to believe eventually I'll get more readers (? maybe?) LOL

At first I was getting frustrated with Wordpress, but I think after all the tweaking I've done it should be smooth sailing from here on. I have already exported all the old blog entries from Blogger to Wordpress (which was a super easy process). I am pretty pleased with Wordpress so far (fingers crossed). I am too lazy to manage so many blogs (especially when they are both in the same language) so for new posts you'll have to head to my Wordpress. I have already posted a blog entry on my new MAC Tartan collection eyeshadows if you are interested (be honest!)

you'll also be able to subscribe to my Wordpress by email no need for a new account! :)

Enough babbling, here's the link to my Wordpress

In the spirit of Halloween

Normally I'd be lazy and post this up weeks (or months) after I took pictures of it, but since it goes along with Halloween (today), I was not lazy for once and decided I will post it right now. And surprisingly while I am still wearing this set of nails haha. The Christmas nails got ruined (I scratched off part of the polish on the thumb and dented another finger by accident)...and me being some what of a compulsive neat freak, I decided to take that off and do a new one. I was thinking of using other colours, and decided to go with black and pink, and then thought the colour went with Halloween, so I pulled out a Halloween konad plate and konaded the nails too. I was hoping more of the skull showed up...but I guess there's not enough black space for me to stamp on the whole image.

What was used:
black - Rimmel Wear 10 in Black Satin
pink - Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in I Pink I can
white - Winmax Nail Art in White (got it at Daiso)

for base coat I used 1 layer of Sally Hansen Maximum growth and 1 layer of Sally Hansen Age Correct No Chip Base + Top coat. For top coat I used Revlon Quick Dry Top Coat.

I am not very good at picture taking with my left hand so I only took one photo. This nail took me a LOOONG while to do. What was particularly hard was the pink and white edge lines, I used a nail brush, but it was still really hard to keep it steady, and it sucks even more that I can't do it in one pass (for the pink lines). And this was also a bitch to dry, because it was a total of 5 coats on all the fingers except for the ring finger (that was 7 coats)I hope this one lasts a while, cuz I actually like the this one :) I love the colour combo.

That's it for today, Happy |Halloween everyone :) Until next time live well and shop LOTS!

Christmas nails? (updated pictures)

I promise I'll post up a better picture, but my camera's battery just died, so this is the best I can do for now.
I had gotton bored of my last nail colour and wanted to do a gold and red nail, but didn't want to have the whole nail gold so i did this fake french look. This took me a while cuz I kept touching the wet nails by accident and ruin them, and had to re-do them. A few of the nails has like 9 layers...I hope it doesn't peel off...
This did turn out better than I expected, esp the red flowers on the gold, feels kind of christmasy...I am 2 months early but whatever lol
I will post up what I used along with the more clear picture once I have it....

Until next time, live well and shop LOTS!!

-------------------------UPDATE-------------------------
What I used:
Gold - OPI in Glitzerland
Purple (line) - LA Colours Art Deco in unknown colour
red (stamping) - Rimmel Wear 10 in Hot Gossip
Konad - plate number m11

for base coat I used 1 layer of Sally Hansen Maximum growth and 1 layer of Sally Hansen Age Correct No Chip Base + Top coat. For top coat I used Revlon Quick Dry Top Coat.



I apologize, the picture is still not that clear...but I took off the polish, so I cant take another one lol.

Android FTW!

So I have been playing around with my semi new droid phone and found an app that allows me to post blogs on blogger in the comfort of my...well...my couch, since I don't have a data plan. I am waiting for my contract to be up ( next year in March) so I can extort them into giving me free data or at lest data at a cheaper rate, so for now I can only blog when there is free wifi. So this post is really more of a test blog. Maybe this will help me type faster on the phone, because I am quite slow....
What's even better about this application is that I can actually post pictures either by inserting what's already in my phone or by taking a picture right while blogging!! Obviously I am very impressed. Although I am not fond of the fact that I am unable to place the picture where I want it so that I can add some captions...I will have to figure that out.
Anyways, that's it for today! Happy Holloween! Play safe :-)

Mascara Mania Part 2 and other miscellaneous updates

Before I start this post off, I would just like to talk a little about what has been happening to me recently. Not too long ago (a couple of months maybe) I had my eyes checked. For those of you that don't know me, I am pretty much blind. My right eye is -9.00 with -2.75 astigmatism, and my left eye is -6.75 with -2.75 astigmatism. If I didn't have a nose and cant wear glasses and my eyes are not suitable for contacts, I would be deemed legally blind. In any case, I got my eyes checked, and the doctor told me I have severely dry eyes. Apparently, my eye balls are like golf balls with a bunch of dents in them. She wasn't sure what exactly was causing the dry eyes, but told me to start using tear gel, and stop wearing eye make up, because apparently the make up can get into my eyes and scratch my eye balls and cause the dry eyes. I am to check back with her in a month (the next appointment is scheduled for Oct 29) and see if that helped. So I've been pretty good...up until this week. haha, I just recently ordered this eyeshadow pallet from Shiseido Integrate (which I will blog about, hopefully soon), and I couldn't take staring at this pretty pallet and not being able to use it! I guess you could say I was going through withdraw...with the amount of eye make up I have, it's a miracle that I don't use them at lest once a week. To logicalize this bad thing I am doing to my eyes, I've decided I am going to wear eye make up for the rest of the week until the day of check up, and see if that makes a difference. Because, I believe it's because I rub my eyes too hard while I am removing make up that's causing the dry eyes, so I've been relatively careful when removing make up these days...because to be honest, if the eye doctor ended up telling me that I cannot wear anymore eye make up for the rest of my life, I might pull out a knife and stab her then kill myself (woah...a little too emo there..LOL). Anyways...that's my miscellaneous update, onto the task at hand.

_____________________________________________________

SO! Since I started part one off with my lest favorites, I will go next to the ones that I feel "meh" about (meaning no particular like or dislike).These are not in any sorts of order, because I don't have any preference for one over the other, it's just which pictures I see first. And again, these are all waterproof formulas.

1. Cover Girl Volume Exact

brush

The consistency of this mascara was quite dry. The colour is dark enough to show up, but I really see no difference in volume. This was not one of the mascaras that wowed me. It didn't smudge that much and it held up the curls ok. There's really not much I can say about this mascara...like I said before, it's really one of those "meh" moments.
here are some wear pics.




Please don't ask me what eyeshadow I am wearing, because I honestly don't know...haha

2. L'oreal Telescopic Explosion

brush

This is my first stray away from Maybelline and Cover Girl (most of my mascaras are these two brands), and I have decided that it was a badddd decision. This was about 3 or 4 dollars more expensive than Cover Girl or Maybelline (I think this was $13.99, but I got it on sale). It did absolutely nothing for my lashes. Didn't really lengthen (definitely no "explosions" as the name suggests), the curls didn't fall all the way down, but it did sunk a little. The only reason this did not go on my fail mascara list (part one) is because it didn't do a lot of bad things either. No smudging, but than no volume nor length, a pretty useless mascara in my opinion.
here are some wear pics, again, don't ask me about the shadows (although I think this might be MAC's Vex)





I suppose those are the only two meh mascaras for me. Part three will be my old love mascaras. And part 4 will be my current HG mascara, hopefully that won't change between now and when I post up the blog (LOL). Until next time, live well and shop LOTS!
