A Fantasy Fire

So on Tuesday, popped to my local Big W and saw this gorgeous purple duo toned nail polish by Maxfactor in Fantasy Fire. 


It's so pretty and unique and I love duo toned nail polishes. I picked this up for a dollar apparently. It scanned up as a dollar instead of the usual $5.95 which was a win! Anywho, been loving this colour so far and I currently have it on my nails. 


This is the best image I could get of the nail polish looking true in real life. So perddddy. I'm loving it. 


I decided to layer some colours as the nail polish is pretty opaque by itself. 

I used a metallic blue base by Magnetix (has no name) and then layered around 2-3 coats of Fantasy Fire and topped it off with Nubar 2010 flakies. 

Sealed it with a layer of topcoat and adding two layers of the gel-look top coat to really make it look shiny and glossy. 



I previously own a few other colours from Maxfactor Max Effect Mini Nail Polishes and their staying power is pretty decent. Roughly 4-5 days until chipping or peeling. 

I'll be back soon with a review on some mascaras! 

Love, J 

Uni Life, Anniversary, Mail & Nail Therapy.

So I have my Stats Exam on this week and thank heavens it is an open book exam. I haven't been going to my past 5 lectures and tutorials and it's because I'm utterly lazy due to the fact that it's not complusory, most of my friends don't go and most of the time I am napping. So I'm sort of doomed...ish.

Also, after my mid-semester break from Uni I've been spending a lot. I've recently purchased my first Sigma Brush Kits along with a pair of Sigmax HD Brushes, so I can't wait for those to arrive and all. As well as the occasional outings I've been having with the close friends and as well, today - celebrating my eight month anniversary with my boyfriend! I don't know why out of all the other anniversaries but today was probably so exciting - maybe it's the fact that 'eight' is my favourite number or alternatively when flipped sideways it signifies an infinite sign...... What the hell did I just say (that was utterly corny and shiz - I will hold my peace now).

This morning before leaving the house to Cabramatta with the boyfriend and friends to have brunch and prepare of Phong's Getty/BBQ for ANZAC Day - I got mail! Just 3 things from eBay!

So I'm going to cut to the chase and get onto some needed (unnecessary) retail therapy 'session' I had today.

I headed to my local Big W to grab these polishes knowingly that they are on special. Maxfactor ($5 off) Napoleon (3 for 2), Face of Australia ($3 off) & of course Australis ($3 off?) was on sale. The sale is til 2 May as I asked the shop assistant there - so you got a week or so left! Cosmetics are running out quick because nearly every Big W I went to, it was sort of demolished... Anywho, these are the things I got!




Presents from the boyfriend. 

My Long awaited Dusk Candle in Lychee & Black Tea. SMELLS AMAZING. 
Story behind this is that, when we went to Dusk I was madly in love with this scent. I was broke since it cost $27 for that candle so I was like... I'll wait when I have more money and get it. 
Yesterday the boyfriend went out and got it for me! As well as a cute card (in which I'm not going to show because it's image is super corny and embarrassing LOL) but the card is super adorable!
As well as the lip butters he got me before but today I managed to swap my Cotton Candy Lip Butter for Tutti Frutti! (Will do a post one that soon!) 

In the mail today I finally got my Shu Uemura Mini Eyelash Curler and also my supposedly 'Shiseido' Eyebrow Razors LOL. 

I'm still adjusting on how to use it without pulling out my little lashes, but basically the mini eyelash curler works better than a normal eyelash curler (supposingly) as it grabs each lash for a better curl?! 



 My Mini & Original Size Shu Uemura Eyelash Curlers


So what's the hype behind these lash curlers?! I shall do a blog post about these lash curlers soon! They're not just ordinary lash curlers, they cater... (that's shall be all I will say!) I want to make a separate post for these. 


So...
The things I actually bought! 3 of the nail polishes I bought a few days ago but I thought I'll add them in! 


These retail for $4.95 each
and ended up $1.95 each after the ($3 off)




I shall be giving this one away... 



and going to give these babies away! 
And perhaps this whole set below, there's 2 Ivory, 2 Sunny Pink's


These were $5 off and usually they're $5.48 so... I got them for 48 cents each! But they have limited colours and by the time I got there, they were ALL gone. So I got the last ones. 

If you can see, I kinda got lazy and didn't put my watermark on these images. It's time consuming but I'm just going to rush through and get my study on asap. 

My giveaway will be in 2 days! So if you're eager to score yourself some nail polishes, ENTER!

Love, J.
