White Nail Polish- The Mother Of All Evil, Asian Haul & I LOVE GOLD

How is THAT for a wicked title?!

Vogue, you have my number should you wish to employ me as a "Title Writing Extraordinaire"

So I asked Alberto which colour he would like me to paint my nails (please say Black Pearl please say Black Pearl) and he said "White"... White polish and I are enemies from waaaay back. I mean, I can NEVER get the damn stuff to apply properly or neatly! Is it the polish I use? Is it my technique? Regardless, it always turns out streaky and bubbly.

But I painted them white anyway and this is the result...



I know you can't see it very well here due to my shite house camera but they are bubbly and gross :( Please to have help? I'm using a Revlon polish- two coats and Sally Hansen Mega Shine top coat. I just can't get it to work.

I went out to lunch with Yolly in the city to a Korean Restaurant that serves you a raw egg and beef in a sizzling bowl that you cook yourself... it's pretty awesome and delicious. The place is called Madtongsan but I fondly call it "MadKorean"... mostly because I think I'm spelling "Madtongsan" wrong... but let's get back on course...

There's this UBER UBER cute little Asian shop called "Cozy Corner" that is Violet LeBeax in retail shop form... it sells the cutest little shoes, clothes, jewelery, perfume and makeup! Everything is ultra sparkly and cutesy and I basically exploded when I got there.

Here is my haul:

I got three face masks (review to come) and two lipglosses. Please excuse Mr Ulta Polish that wanted some attention- he jumped in without me realizing. NAUGHTY MR ULTA!


Being a Lip Product Fiend, I HAD to get some lipglosses. I got two Castle Dew lipglosses in 33 and 23- that's light pink and dark pink.

"23"- a light baby pink with silver and pink micro shimmer (classy not trashy). The gloss holds nicely on the lips without being too sticky

"33"- a medium based pink also with dark pink and silver micro shimmer. Both glosses have a pleasant sweet smell with no taste. They also have a sweet doe foot applicator aka MY FAVOURITE!

L-R: "33" and "23". As you can see, 23 is significantly sheerer than 33.


And here is a Golden FOTD to show you how I wore them!






Classic black khol eyes with bronzer
Here is a sweeeeet necklace I got from Lovisa for 3 DOLLA! 

 And here it is in flash!

 And here is my new hair colour! It's FINALLY getting blonder! YAY!

And so ends this post.. please give me recs on the white nail polish!!!

Keep it Haute!

This is my first ever stash post and I'm really excited! I love stalking reading other people's stash posts so I thought it was about time to do my own.

And what better way to start than with Chanel!

My stash isn't anything like The Makeup Mole's but it's slowly growing... hope you all enjoy!

Monte Carlo, Liberte, Royallieu, Aventure, Canotier, Boy

The Glosses

Rouge Allure Lacque, Glossimer in No 131. Both have doe foot applicators


Rouge Allure Lacque swatched in natural light with horrible tan lines >.<

Both of these get alomost daily wears- they are a staple in my kit.
