arch and wings.

Groomed my brows into something quite nearing perfection.  Very proud akshually.  I don’t really stray away from my natural brow line, just give it more definition.  And I’ve always disliked using pencil to fill them in, unless I’m going for a look where brows need to be more pronounced (like in the case of the lovely miss Dita below).

Plus I’m still in search of a perfect shade (preferably in the form of eyeshadow).

It could be the scans, but hair on these otherwise beautiful women looks dirty and unkempt, not sleeked back, wet, or stylishly messy.

I keep beating myself over losing bookmark to this jewellery designer’s site.  You’d think I could’ve at least put the name in the image title.

This editorial has been a favourite of mine for a few years now.  Unfortunately, I don’t even remember where it comes from.

A very quick post to share this photoshoot:  Victoria Beckham for Glamour.

Ah, how much do I love Victoria?  She’s amazing.  Here’s the interview.

nails otm - blue & stripes.

My usual complaint about Oriflame polishes is that they do not last.  They go on nicely (this one is many years old, but is as smooth as ever), they’ve got lovely colours (though as it appears most of mine are rather sheer), they’re easy to take off…  this could go hand in hand with the fact that they don’t last, I guess.

This one, however, lasted so long that it bored me to tears.  Tears.  Being sick and not being able to stay upright long enough to remove it and not being able to stand the smell of polish remover didn’t help matters much.  So I decided to spruce things up a little bit.

Yes, well, what can I say, I’m very creative.

It’s one of the “art” polishes with a thin brush.  The colour looks much better & more vivid in the bottle.  When you try to paint something with it on the actual nails, it just comes out glittery.  Which isn’t bad at all, I love me a blue glitter.  Except that the combination of brush and formula make it hard to apply in any kind of reasonably attractive manner.  Unless you’re going for dots, I guess.

Ohwell.  The glittery thing was like, half a buck at the local market.

10 pan - diorshow iconic.

Well, that was fast!  I suppose this one can be counted as a bit of a cheat, because I gave it to my Mother.  (No lectures on hygiene, please.)  She ran out of mascara and had only waterproof left.  She can’t use waterproof daily, her eyes don’t take it too well.  So I gave her what’s left of Diorshow Iconic.

I loved this mascara, I’ll miss it.  It lengthens and volumises, it brushed my lashes really well, and even curled them a little.  And it’s a sad little fact that not even lash curlers can manage to do it.  It’s also very easy to take off, which is a big plus in my book.  So I’d definitely buy this product again.

first post, nails of the moment.

I ranted about this all over my Twitter:  It took me three coats, and even then the white looked a bit blotchy and uneven.

So, lesson of the day is, don’t buy cheap white nail varnish.

What I loved about it:  It freakin’ lasts.  It stayed on my nails for about a week, without any top coat.  I think it would’ve stayed longer, but I got so bored, I actually started chipping it off myself.

Flormar Plus+ Quartz in 06

Flormar is a Turkish cosmetics company that isn’t bad at all, especially for the price you pay for it.  This polish is rather old, and the company has since then partially rebranded (one of the rebranding results I love, btw).  I’ve got a couple more of their products.  I’ll ramble about them as time goes by.
