Sally Hansen Barracuda

 This is an awesome bright light blue colour! Adds a nice pop of colour to any outfit and since it just snowed here I thought a happy colour would be appropriate. As you can see, it is a lot lighter in the bottle that it is on the nails. In the bottle it it paler and on the nails it it brighter but I love this colour anyways.

 

 This is Sally Hansen Barracuda from the 'Complete Salon Manicure' line. I used three/four coats of this polish and OPI top coat like normal.

I've been keeping my eye out for this polish for a loooooong time now but I have never seen it before. I saw it the other day and it was $4.99 so I almost didn't but it because I can get OPI for almost the same price. I also thought it was pretty similar to Essie Borrowed and Blue polish in the picture above but it is a bit bluer and brighter. I googled both colours on my bb at the store and decided that they weren't tooooo similar so I got it anyways..I'm glad I bought it though cause it's an awesome colour!!

OPI Fly

 

 Long time no pooost!! We've hauled quite a few things over the past little while so maybe look forward to a few hauls! Hope you all had a happy holiday and a great start to your new year!

This polish is from the new Nicki Minaj collection and it is called Fly. I wanted to get Pink Friday but I decided against it at the store..but I totally need it so hopefully M and I will be making a trip back to the store where I get most of my nail polish from soooon! Fly is an awesome blue/turquoise colour. It is bright but not too bright and it's a nice pop of colour for the winter.

Almost forgot to add..I took these pictures today which is Sunday, and I put this nail polish on LAST Sunday..so as you can see there is no chipping whatsoever, only minimal tip wear which is bound to happen with any nail polish. As always I used OPI top coat and two coats of Fly.

 

Mini Beauty Product Haul

Everything I got.

 I wanted to get new foundation and I always wanted to try out BB creams so I went ahead and got this small tube of it. This was $6. I am undecided on whether I like it or not. I prefer my foundations to have medium/full coverage and this doesn't have that much. I guess its good for those good skin days. It is also makes your face waaaaay lighter but if you love to apply bronzer and blush and setting powder you should be okay. Since it's supposed to make your face look paler you can go overboard with bronzer/blush and still look normal!

 Since I was still on my foundation kick and since I had a $20 off of $50 coupon for Sephora I decided to try out this one. It was either this or Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation which I will probably try in the future. This foundation has a floralish fragrance which you can smell for a little while after you apply it. This has medium but buildable coverage. It really evens out your skin tone. So far, so good. This was $48.

 

I love how the top of the bottle is. The bottle is also pretty heavy. I got the shade 021 Linen.

  

Since I needed to spend $2 more to use my coupon I got another bottle of Philosophy's Purity Made Simple for $13. I am still undecided on this. It isn't great but it also isn't horrible.

 

 Thennn I got the infamous and IMPOSSIBLE to find EOS lip balms! I got this on sale for only $2.99 and I love how it smells. I'm gonna go check out other locations to see if I can find the other flavours in stock. 

I also got a big bottle of Aussie shampoo for around $5 at Walmart but I figured everyone knows what a bottle of shampoo looks like so I didn't take any pictures of it...

Festive Nails!!

Since it's the last week of school before break I thought I'd do a christmasy nail polish! I used one coat of a red nail polish and then one coat of my sparkly red polish. I also used OPI base coat and top coat.

 

I used one coat of Revlons Mon Cherry polish.

Then I used one coat of China Glaze Love Marilyn glitter polish. This was in my recent nail polish haul as well. This polish needs a polish underneath it to make it pop. I think this would also look awesome over a black or white polish since the tiny red glitter flakes don't show up that well over the other red polish. The silver flakes really shine and sparkle when they hit the light!

OPI Meep Meep Meep

This is actually last weeks nail polish. This picture was taken right before I took it off yesterday (saturday). As you can see it lasts all week without any chips!! If anything, my nail polish is just a bit less shiny by the end of the week. This polish is a pink glittery nail polish but it isn't the type of glitter that takes forever to get off. I used just one coat of this polish with OPI topcoat as usual!

This is OPI Meep Meep Meep from the Muppet collection. It was in my recent nail polish haul!

Loreal Mango-Get-em

 This weeks nail polish is called Mango-Get-Em by Loreal. I don't really get why its has mango in the name when it's totally pink and is nothing close to the colour of a mango..

Anyways, I used two coats of this and OPI top coat as always!

 

It's super nice and sunny outside but it's really cold as always.. Too bad it's not hot outside so that I could work on my tan ;) I'm staying inside studying for a million upcoming tests this week :((

Rainy days

A and myself live in a very very rainy city. Its rains about 8 months a year which totally blows -.- Anyways this is when rain boots come in handy ! I decided early this year that hunters just weren't going to cut it because I wanted something that looked more dressy so that I didn't have to always be casual when wearing them. So I opted for these Burberry rain boots, which literally was one of the BEST purchases I have ever made. I love them so much I thought why not share the love :)

Enjoy !  

There not obviously Burberry which is another reason why I like them so much and they're super comfy !

I bought these at Holt Renfrew....they were $320.00 ish after taxes. They're on the pricier side for just rubber BUT they are sooooooooo worth it !
