NOTW(eekend)

:)

EDIT: Why do my photos look so crappy! My nails don't look this bad in person... jesus.

- Red: Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear "Cherry Red"
- Orange: Icing "Peel Me An Orange"
- Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear "VIP Pink"

I sort of like this?
I don't think the pink matches... but I don't have a pink creme.

(To Be) Haul

Oh my god. I just got a phone call from my boyfriend...

He just spent £40 in makeup. At Superdrug. I am so fracking happy but I'm also thinking "I have a problem... yeah...".

><;;;

So what did he get? THAT'S what I'm stoked about.

- Sleek Bohemian Palette
- Sleek Acid Palette (he said it was just hanging out on the shelf)
- Barry M dazzledusts in Mushroom, Petrol Black, Lilac and Pink Gold
- Gosh Darling lipstick
- Gosh nailpolish in Rainbow
- Collection 2000 glitter liner in Shake It Up

I was dancing and squealing when he called. I thought I'd have to buy the Acid palette on eBay. I'm now thinking that I definitely have a problem... because when he said he'd be home in an hour or so, I was like yeah! Get online so I can see my new stuff! ... and you.

6 more days!

Clinique Sheer Moisture Tint

Just a quickie review...

Gave this sample a go this morning. I was given "light" and told that it would match me well.

I normally like Clinique products, but this -- this I was not impressed with. I have pretty dry skin and after applying this, it made my face shiny and oily. It wasn't attractive. It also really did nothing in the way of coverage, even for a tinted moisturizer. I ended up having to apply my Mac Studio Fix powder over top to try and mattify my face.

Also, the color was too dark for me. The powder lightened it up but I feel like it's oxidizing on me (checking it in the mirror every hour or so). For reference, I'm NC20-25 in Mac.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I also felt like it highlighted my undereye circles! Maybe they're just particularly bad this morning but after I applied it, I felt like they were glaring out at me in the mirror.

Last thing I didn't like -- the smell. It smells like band-aids :(

I'm sort of disappointed. I'm glad that this was only a sample, I have enough for 3-4 more days use and I think I'll use it up and move on. Maybe CoverGirl's tinted moisturizer? What do you ladies think?

FOTD: I swear I wasn't copying Marlena

How freaky is this? I get online at work after I photo'd this and see Marlena's latest look. I'm seriously creeped out. I planned this out last night.

Excuse the wonky hair. It was still wet!
