Colie's corner

This picture was requested by miss J, so here you go:

I think my middle finger turned out best


I used the light pink one (the left one on the picture) on a layer of regular nail polish. I tried to make a simple nice pattern, but it was sooo difficult because the brush is thicker than a regular nailpolish. It's pretty cool how it cracks into a random pattern, but it's difficult to apply because it dries SUPER fast.

*UPDATE

New colour combination:

Mavala Hong Kong and Isadora Grafitti

There were some things I needed to buy to Mei so I asked Miss J to come with me to the Zoomarknad in Bromma. The place was huge with so many fun pet things! We saw some cute animals as well (they were totally chilling out) =^^=



Look at the legs haha!


So fluuuuufffffeeeeeyyy!!

Look I bought a fake BURBERRY collar to Mei! It's difficult to see though, because of her fluffy fur lol. I think it looks pretty on her, but mom has a different opinion on that (oh well it's my cat!).

I bought these colourful balls to her as well, but she TOTALLY ignored it! :'( I didn't understand why at first until I saw her grimase when I shoved it up on her face. She kind of wrinkled her nose with an expression saying "eeewwww it stiiiinks". I smelled it, and yes the balls do have the yucky plastic stench! Sooo disappointed!

I got my package from Nelly todaaaay! :D :D :D I bought Too Faced Enchanted Glamourland Limited Edition. It looks like Urban Decay's Book of Shadows, but with a bigger variety of eyeshadows (I think). Urban Decay's book of Shadows consists of mostly glittery or shimmery eye shadows. And I am not a big fan of eyeshadows with too much of glitter.

It's actually my first purchase of a Too Faced product. I have seen their products at Åhléns in Stockholm. But the testers were always so messy and yucky so I never wanted to try anything from them. But I really wanted to buy their Eyeshadow primer (Shadow Insurance) though, because I had heard SOOO many great things about it. However, as a low-maintenance girl when it comes to make-up... I really did not want to pay 240kr for a small eye primer.

Nevertheless, here are some pictures of the product:

I am not going to review this thoroughly, because you can google up sooo many great reviews about this product with loads of swatches. By the way I only found good comments about The Enchanted Glamourland when I googled on it.

A rather childish packaging but still pretty hahaa :)

The only thing I didn't really go "woho!!" over is the blush with golden shimmer. Some people absolutely love shimmery blushes, and some don't - like me. I have never been a big fan of shimmery blushes or lip products. However it looks allright in day light. But when there's yellow-ish light (like indoor) it makes my cheeks sparkle =___= too dramatic for me. The highlighter/bronzer is really pretty though. A little bit too shimmery to be used as bronzer but gorgeous as a highlighter.


I must agree with the many reviewers that this make-up kit is really really great. The eyeshadows are really pigmented and I love the variation of colours and that the palette has 5 matte eye shadows. You will definitely have fun with the colour combinations.

Another great thing about this product is that you get two full sized products as well, the Glamour Gloss lip plumber and The Too Faced Shadow Insurance. I haven't tried the primer yet (I will soon!) but I have tried the lip gloss and I thought it was going to be just another lip gloss that will lay around (and absorb dust). Surprisingly, I really like the lip gloss! Because it doesn't dry out my lips like many other lip glosses and the nude pink colour is pretty on the lips. It also stayed put for many hours without any reapplication. The colour (Pillow Talk) you see on the tube is what you get, meaning the lip gloss is quite pigmented as well.OBS it didn't plumb my lips though, which doesn't matter to me at all.

EDIT: I have tried the shadow insurance now, it's great!

Ps. I will probably not buy any eyeshadows for a veeery long time now hahaha considering how slow I am with using up make-up products XD

I think Mei is quite a smart cat. First of all she learned her name within a few days. Secondly, she fetches (when she wants to haha) and she knows a few tricks.

But other than that. I am SO thankful that she seems to understand what "sleep" means. She is quite a talkative cat but knows when to be quiet as well, such as when it's sleeping time :)
And her ears are, like many other animals, super sensitive so she KNOWS when I am awake. Every morning when I open my door, I find her sitting on the floor (or lying on her back LOL) looking at me and meows.

There was one day I decided to wake up a little bit earlier and surf around a bit on the internet before going out for breakfast. I was really quiet, had the lowest volume on my speakers, but Mei somehow snatched that sound and came running to my door (I heard her running paws haha) and started to meow gently outside.

Why is that you ALWAYS find things when you are not specifically looking for something? I promise my intention today was just going out to change my pair of faux leather leggings from S to XS at MQ and then head straight back home and drink mom's yummy chicken soup.

Well, what happened?

My confession:

I just "accidentally" went to Gina Tricot and found some awesome cheap stuff. And on my way to MQ I, again, accidentally went to Zara just "have a look" and found a pair of cute denim shorts.

This is not good for my wallet...

.... OH and I totally forgot that I bought a pair of over knee shoes at Vagabond two days ago......!

>____< Rings from Gina Tricot. Silver: 20SEK Gold: 40SEK


Jeans shirt from Gina Tricot. 49 SEK (!!) It originally cost 199SEK

Denim shorts from Zara 178SEK, original price: 399SEK

Faux leather leggings from MQ, they were 50% off and cost 125SEK

Last but not least, my new over-knee boots from Vagabond! They were 50% off and cost 700SEK


Confession ended.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! I hope 2011 will be a great year for everyone. Many things happened in 2010, both bad and good things. I wish more of the good things in this new year!

Pictures from yesterday's New Year's Eve:A random Indian guy approached us when we took these pictures and started to talk to us. Since Miss L and Miss S were pretty much ignoring him, I had to deal with it and do the polite kind talk. =_=

Super cheap hair accessory (19 SEK) that I wore for New Year's Eve
