Long time no post!

Wow. I haven't posted in a dog's age. Am here to rectify that. Was sick, had also been away. Oh goodness. Have really missed posting I must say. I was going to start completely afresh but, I like it here. Sorry I have been remiss. A lot has gone on with me, but I will get to polish, makeup and nerdery because that is why we are here I reckon. Hope everyone has been well.

I see we also need policies about products, I need to insert that, probably change the look of the blog as well to add that somewhere permanently to be seen, but all products shown in this post I have bought myself, save in the case of one shadow that was given to me as a gift by my sister, wahey!

Alrighty, let me see was walking with my lovely nephew to RiteAid yesterday as we were in need of Blowpops and something to drink, I of course take the opportunity to troll for new displays, Halloween displays are up. There are four new L'Oreal displays up promoting four different looks for Project Runway, two polishes unique to each display. I want them all. Max helps me settle on one this trip as it looks like space. Bless.

Tragically on the 15 min walk home it falls out of the bag, and I have to go back and walk back looking for it, thank goodness I found it, nearly back at the RiteAid, but in the grass landed bottle up.

This morning, I ran in and grabbed two more before getting coffee and getting down to work. Weak willed. I want them all.

From left to right, The Muse's Attitude, The Queen's Might & The Temptress' Power.

Today I have a swatch to show you of The Queen's Might.

Which is the exact color, and I am wicked excited to discover this, as it is one of my favorite glosses of Lime Crime's Carousel Gloss in Cherry on Top.

Petite Haul,Mad About Mango Polish, Smith's Lippy

Humming, coming atcha. Or something.

Righty, here's Mad About Mango, another of Revlon's scented line. I was surprised how well I liked it on, it pools a bit, but more fault lays with the fact of my application, must try and master applying above instead or right down in there. The scent, well it smells like any and all kinds of Hubba Bubba gum, ever, stronger than Not so Blue-Berry that's for sure. ^^

Here's my petite Nyx haul, three polishes that came in a box that could have shipped twenty, lol. These are gorgeous.

From left to right is Titanic,Purple Avenue and Asphalt. I'd had to have Asphalt after seeing swatches, anything black and with any hint of rainbow I must get my greedy mitts on.

Decided to try on Purple Avenue first, it has this amazing large chunky holographic glitter, reminds me of some Nfu Oh's. I'm wearing three coats and it gives this light flush of purple to the nails, I like how subtle it is. Bet this would be forgiving if you chipped it. Also this would make a dead lovely top coat. But I do recommend a clear coat over it, not from lack of shine but that not all the glitter lays flat, it is more of a bumpy texture.

Lastly, have to go on about Smith's Minted Rose Lip Balm.

I didn't take a picture inside, because the pot has seen a lot of use and you don't need to see that lol. Horrors! But I must say how lovely it feels, there is a hint of peppermint that isn't over bearing and rose oils. The shade is a reddish pink that goes on quite sheer for just a tint of pink, it moisturizes and is glossy. Lips feel very kissy in it. (Is that a word? XD) Highly recommend it!

CG Black Diamond

Hmm, here's a snap of China Glaze's Black Diamond after two coats. It is really pretty, and not what I'd expected. It more heavily leans towards a dark gun metal grey then black, there are slight hints of blue. Really quite like it.

Am on a makeup jones today, really trying to resist the call of the tinted Sin Urban Decay Primer Potion sold at Sephora as I love the original formula so much, the tinted is being all siren songin' it.

Also, really and making goo goo eyes at Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics lip balm in Tarred. Am a fan of black sheer glosses and lippy for the way they darken. I have Lipstick Queen's lippy in Black Tie Optional, but don't want to plunk $22 for the gloss as well so I generally slap Cover Girl's Wetslicks Amazemint (mmm minty!) in Happy Hour over it. (The CG gloss is very sheer with a blue tint). Hell I slap that over Nars' Orgasm gloss as well, brings up the shine nicely and again that minty feel!

The OCC balm is just $10 comparatively. I have to say I adore Lipstick Queen's packaging on the lippy, will need to snap up a picture.

Am so looking forwards to my KO Karen to arrive. /dance!
