Also, here is a side by side for Lucy, who was asking if Knock Out Liberty was a dupe for MAC Peppermint Patti, despite the frosted bottle of Liberty, the color is true. Peppermint Patti is darker, almost a bit yellower in tone green than Liberty.
Also, happy Mother's Day to the mums reading. ^^
How saweet is that?
Also here's a shot of Man Glaze's The Death Tar.
Have a cold, super enjoyable. :/ Arrgh!
My bottle of March's 13 arrived yesterday from BPAL, now that is fast turnaround. This one is very spicey as opposed to the brown sugar from the last 13 release, was that January? My Chaos Theory: Snake Oil series came as well. OMG it smells of Snake Oil and moss, it is extremely earthy. Really like it and am curious as to how the Dorian based one smells. Must look up the reviews on BPAL.ORG.
Wearing it as a pedi, and it's very cute and springy though. Going to abandon ship on Mesmerize as a mani, torn between trying out Peppermint Patti or Rescue Beauty Lounge's Bikini Bottom. Will say though, I really like the shade of blue it is quite flattering and doesn't have a huge yellow tone at all like some medium blues I've tried in the past.
Crown is fixed, a blessedly short visit. Pirate toof intact.
Going to see A Haunting in Connecticut tomorrow. Might try to evade that, remember watching a terrifying account of this on A Haunting series. Blech!
Need to make a different layout so as to not need such small thumb pics.
Watched Twilight last night, quite enjoyed it. Was surprised didn't think I would do all that much. Rather liked the Bella character as portrayed in the movie via the character in the books.
Feria root dye time tomorrow. Excitement. Hair dye! *boing*
The new Pocket Rocket Lip Glosses by Urban Decay. I'm not sure whether I am grossed out or like wahey over the packaging. Remember having novelty pens not unlike these when I was much younger. 8 different shades and subsequently different menfolk to choose from in a dressed and lesser so state. Good gimmick or bad?
My Peppermint Patti came yesterday. It is so cute, very Maloxxy. Am looking forwards to trying it on! Sorry for the askew picture it is sat on my green lan tower and it isn't flat but I like the way it picked up the green. Bet this will be a perfect pedi shade.
Have tried the Seche Restore on a couple of my relic UD bottles. It seems to only want to do the job on glitter shades. Although Road Stripe is coming up nicely! But it is probably because of the forumla (UD), because I imagine Seche Restore will probably be brilliant with other brands however. Worked really well on a couple Candy Man's and a Hard Candy. Seche Restore rocks bells for glitter shades.
Wearing Berry Blue, by Barielle today and it's foxy. Love the heavy pigmenting! But I just noticed that Essie Mesmerize matches my dress I'm wearing right now perfectly. lol. That's the trouble with such a hot amount of incoming. So hard to choose. Gah. Real camera soon with proper pictures. Honestly.
Speaking of shockingly bad pictures, here are two. Which will be repped poste haste when...words...camera. Oh yes, where was I? Oh comparison of IS's gemmed eyelets next to Anatometal's Bling gem eyelets. These are both 7/16ths. Both are single flared, my ears are wicked bitchy and double flare is just not comfortable. The IS gemmed eyelets are only offered in Single Flare, at least @Steel Navel. Don't know if this is the case elsewhere. Anatometal Blings you can purchase SF or DF and custom wearable Steel or Titanium @BAF.
Alrighty the IS ones have about a 3/8 wearable (you can also choose a wearable of 5/16) I purchased the 3/8. It is a little bit longer as you can see as the pair of Anatometals is shorter in height and has a more pronounced saddle before the wearable.
Here's the head on; the gems set in the IS pair are 2MM in Water Opal, which is more of an almost Aurora Borealis gem without the gold foil-ish tones. The gems in the Anatometals are 2MM and are Faux Opals. The IS seem to be a little wider than Anatometal's 7/16ths/11 MMs sizing and the channel setting is thicker on Anatometal's as well.
Oh and the IS pair are Titanium whereas the Anatometal Bling's are 316LVM ASTM F-138 Implant Grade Steel. I've not tried on the IS pair yet, but upon looking at them I think my loyalty shall remain with my beloved Anatometal Blings collection. Yes I was swayed by the shiny heh. Water Opal how dare you! Shame. Shame! XD heheh. Also pet peeve the O-rings that came with the IS pair were so tight, I think they were for a 00G. lol. But that's easily remedied. I've O-Rings floating around a go-go! Probably people dig a tighter O-Ring size, but I like the slightly looser so I don't constantly rot my manicure. As I did a few minutes ago unlocking my door. Woof!
Had an amazing joint b-day party with Bird. Super yummy vegetarian burritos at Sam Diego's. Mmm! Fun with Peanut. A great time had by all! I was given some amazing books, that I can't wait to pore over! Oh oh oh annnnnnnd!
MAC Hello Kitty hotness! Powder in Tahitian Sand, lippy in Cute-Ster and an eyeshadow palette in Lucky Tom! I love the pink glitter embedded in the cases, it's so cute and the saweet Hello Kitty herself on the lippy with a psychedelic pattern dress. Thank you Birdy! <3
The new MAC Sugarsweet collection is gorgeous. Very springy shades indeed. Polish wise Pepperment Patti has me excited, and is a must have. I do have Seasonal Peach and while the color is gorgeous, the application on it and the way it worked on my skintone...blech. Quite a letdown that one was for me.
Oh my polish haul came, altogether amazingly. A deluge of polish right,left and center!
The Nfu Oh bottles do not disappoint, they truly are the most adorable bottles. With the lace up molded corset, with the bow and bustle on the back and glass, cute flower on the front with filigree designs and the...boobs heh. Truly is a sweet little design. The shades though, I can not wait to try on. Even in the bottles there is so much color play and shift. I'm already in love. Brought were 50,51 and 52. Suspect more shall be in my future.
As for the Shades by Barielle, must say the boxing was a bit excessive giant box for just three polishes inside. The colors though. Made of win! Am wearing Date Night, since it is St. Patrick's and a nod to green isn't remiss in my otherwise all black outfit today. Application was fantastic, really could have gotten away with one coat, no dragging or brush marking. Tried to take a camera pic of the polish on, but it just isn't going to cut it, need to replace my old camera still. I have a lot of greens, Date Night is really stand out however. I also got Berry Blue and thanks to the buy two, get one free I received Decadence which is gorgeous but am dubious to how it will look on my skintone. To me it looks like it might have a good deal of a yellow undertone, but of course can't really tell how that will translate until it is on. Hoping it looks good, because it is striking and bright.
Also a bottle of Creative in Turquoise Tint, which looks like it will be an amazing sheer if done with a light hand, or a nice jelly full coverage. What all is next, hmmm...Four Amour polishes: Rainbow Hologram, Rain Glitter, Brilliant Ocean Blue and Unique Ruby, which I can't wait to try with a base of black polish.
Two Opi shades Yoga-ta Get this Blue and DS Fantasy. Two Orly, Goth and Prisma Gloss Gold which looks absolutely fascinating. Lastly, New York Summer in Class Act and Essie in Mesmerize. If the sun comes out I'll try and get a group shot on the phone. Such a huge influx of polish. Boing! Boing! *call19* (FFXI nerdery!).
Oh and another birthday present...
To quote MC Chris, 'Yo momma is a bitch-I'll see you in the Sarlacc Pit!' Fett's Vette. Wahey. <3 me some Boba Fett.
