A Quick Look At... Urban Decay 24/7 Liners - Velvet Rope Set

i know i know, ive been absent for ages and i have an awful lot products to take photos of. ive been super busy with uni and ive recently started up a full time job so there's been no time for cosmetic porn



anywho, here's a quick look at my latest purchase. i will be trialing these tomorrow on my upper and lower lashline which do not tolerate liners at all - i'm all racoony within 5 minutes, i kid you not

A Quick Look At... MAC Intriguing Scarlet: 6 Warm Eyes



ughhh the palette picture is pretty dodgy so i'll take a better photo later.

am totally in love with this baby already - the textures are smooth and pigmented, the palette is neutral but also has a gorgeous burgundy and forest green shade
full review to come!

A Jewellery Post

i know, i know, this is not an accessories blog, but I really couldnt resist showing off what I got in the mail today
i have been swooning over Blair's Garland Necklace on Gossip Girl for weeks, but am not exactly willing to fork out over $1200 for it. So instead, i've made use of the Alchemy feature on Etsy. I was really hoping for some good offers, but i never expected that i'd end up with a necklace as pretty as this.

i wanted something similar, but not identical to Blair's, which has WALDORF engraved into it. Instead, i wanted my initials MC on the oval plate, with a nice pretty decoration as a border

here's the original:


my request was answered and this is what I got in the mail today (for $30 mind you)





pretty cool eh? this has an extender chain on it, which im using in the photos, but i think i'll wear it everyday at collarbone height instead :)
interested? you can buy one from the link below. i notice that the price has gone up by $10, but $40 for a custom made necklace is pretty darn good if you ask me

A Look At... Opi Holiday In Toyland Part 2


You're A Doll! is a very unique muted baby pink with red flecks through it. It's almost like the base colour has been washed out with a hint of grey. The red flecks arent hugely noticeable on the nail unless you really look for them, but it makes the shade different to anything else I own. Love it.

Glamour Game is swatching alot more silver here than it does on my nails, although it's a difficult colour to describe anyway. The best I can think of is that Glamour Game is a fusion of champagne gold with pewter, and has gold flecks (same as the ones in Brand New Skates) scattered through. Very very pretty.


A Ruby For Rudolph is one of the glittery red shades from the Toyland collection, and boy it's a stunner. It's definitely glitter, not shimmer, although it's more finely milled than the likes of ChG Ruby Slippers. It's a christmasy red with red glitter.


Don't Toy With Me! is another of the glittery reds, although i'd consider it to me leaning towards a pinky berry. Instead of red glitter, Don't toy With Me! also has silver and pink glitter strewn through it
