On Nail Swatches and Lucky Tom

This is long overdue. I joined a nail polish spree together with other sisses from GirlTalk. Thanks Mhean for hosting this spree!

Forgive the darkness of the shots. They were bright on-cam but for some reason, they turned out dark when I uploaded them (could be the brightness of the monitor).

Here are swatches of the polishes I got (all taken in artificial light):

left to right: Orly Robo Romance, China Glaze Gogo Pink, China Glaze 2NITE, China Glaze Sexagon and China Glaze Visit Me in Prism.

The next ones aren't mine. They're my sister's, but they're so pretty that I had to show you guys.

Here are four shades from the China Glaze Romantique Collection:

from left to right: Passion, Cherish, Awaken and Adore

from left to right: OPI Brand New Skates, China Glaze Emerald Sparkle, China Glaze Liquid Leather.

Aren't they pretty? It's a good thing I can use her shades too!

Moving on, I went to the Hello Kitty Launch in MAC Shangri-La yesterday. The mall opened at 10 am, but I was able to get there at 3 pm already. To my surprise, a lot of stuff were already out of stock (on it's opening day!) especially the lip glosses. It's too bad, I liked the lip gloss in Sweet Strawberry and the TLC in Popster. Boo hoo!

At least I was able to get my hands on a Lucky Tom palette, which I've been lemming for quite some time now.

Here's a pic of the palette:

Here are swatches:


I really wanted to have this, partly because of the Hello Kitty packaging and I wanted to be able to bring these colors around. These colors are dupable, though, but I still want them. However, Paradiso (the orange shade) might be a little hard to find. Nevertheless, still puuurrrty! Since I wasn't able to buy any lippies from the HK collection, I got myself a pot of Fluidline in Blacktrack instead (no photo). I can't wait to use them.

Much Awaited Arrivals for Early 2009!

Everyday Minerals Stippling Brush

This brush is due to come out late January. There is so much anticipation for this brush already because there are only a few stippling brushes here in the Philippines and stippling brushes are quite pricey compared to other brushes so everyone is always on the lookout for a good stippling brush. EDM previously came out with a stippling brush but the reviews weren't so good. But with the new lineup of EDM brushes today, I'm hoping that this brush will deliver. And it's sure to be affordable, since all EDM brushes are. My one concern, though, is that this is going to be made of 100% synthetic hair. Huh? Let's see how this will work out.


Hello Kitty for MAC

As you can see, I'm not into MAC that much because I prefer mineral makeup, but now MAC has teamed up with Hello Kitty! And being a pink lover, I love Hello Kitty! This is really making me want to buy some of these. I don't know if this will be available in the Philippines, but then, there's always online shopping! *wink wink*

How about you? What are you awaiting?
