raining silver glitter and neon pink


Okay... I can't believe I actually got off my butt and did this for you guys lol
I think Nic Nic from Bang Bang She Shoots asked me to do a tutorial back in last year?
If not, this will be for whoever asked me for one :)

This isn't really a legit tutorial because it's impossible for me to show you how to
actually stamp on the design -.- I only had one other hand to take these photos with =\
So I will try to explain everything as much as possible! I'm planning on getting the
Canon G12 which will allow me to record videos, so I am super excited and am still
trying to save up some money for the camera >>

Base: Sally Hansen Green Tea & Olive base coat
Yellow Pastel polish: China Glaze 'Lemon Fizz'
(China Glaze polishes still contain a form of Formaldehyde; Formaldehyde Resin, so I would suggest
using another brand of polish that is less toxic. This is the only yellow polish I have and is also one of
my favourites... let's just hope it doesn't kill me now :p I'm not going to throw it away...)
Pink Special polish: Konad 'Psyche Pink'
Top Coat: Konad top coat
Silver Glitter: CM 'Silver Glitter'
Nail polish remover (Quo non-acetone remover)

Here is a video I made for Wow Wow Nails, so you can see how the stamping works

Okay, now I'm not sure how I'm even going to do this... the pictures are kind of
self explanatory no!? ok sorry I guess this is all I have to say XD just ask me any
questions you may have in the comments -.-

Quo Blue Lagoon Mineral Eye Duo


Shoppers Drug Mart was having a 20x the points sale this past Saturday!
Well, of course being me... I have been waiting for this sale to get some
necessities, as well as some things I have been wanting to try :)

I have been looking for a natural blue/aqua pressed eyeshadow for the
longest time! It's really quite hard and I stumbled across the Quo Minerals
line at Shoppers the week before. I was shocked because I didn't even
know that they had a mineral makeup line! I was glancing at the eyeshadows
and I saw this beautiful shade of blue and gold, glittery dark olive green.
Then I read, 'Mineral Eyeshadow' and fell in love! =p

The case is quite sturdy and there is no way this will pop open in your
purse or anywhere, for that matter. You can open 1 or 2 of the eyeshadows
at the same time, because they both have their own compartments, along
with a handy little mirror (it's actually quite good and not blurry).

It comes with a double ended sponge applicator, which has a rounded side
and a slightly pointed tip side for lining the eyes :) I'm a fan of sponge
applicators and I use them all the time, so nothing negative to say about them :)

The eyeshadows themselves are quite pigmented and I'm really loving this
shade of blue! very pretty. I took a few photos because it can look slightly
different according to the light :)

This retails for $20, but there was a 15% off sale on Quo eye products.
I paid $17 and Quo will always be having sales, so look out for them!

Ingredients: Ethylhexl Palmitate, Zinc Stearate, Kaolin, Sodium Dehydroacetate,
Tocopherol, Phenoxyethanol, Ascorbyl Palmitate

*Notice the 'PRODUCT OF USA', on the back of the packaging.
I thought Quo was a Canadian brand! I'm confused -.-

I'm very subtle with makeup, so I will mainly be using these to line
my eyes... I can't say much about the staying power, just because I
rarely ever wear eyeshadow all over my lid. I like to buy eyeshadows
because I have the option of using them anyway I want :)

and I have been looking for a toilet odour eliminator for when I use
public washrooms >> haha very random but I found the Just a Drop
at Shoppers and decided to try it out :) no one likes to use a stinky restroom >>

Quo double sharpener

I just bought an eye pencil sharpener because well, you can't really use a normal sharpener (from what I've sadly learned lol >>) and I've been wondering what the difference was. Apparently there are two holes/parts for sharpening the tip and the part that holds the actual eye colour.

I got the Quo double sharpener and was around $3.50 but I was lucky and realized it was on sale for only $1.99 when I got home to look at my receipt... should have looked at it earlier but meh =p

The sharpener is extremely handy. It comes with a tiny pick inserted inside of the sharpener which you can use to pick out the mess left from the colour and the sharpener opens from the top and bottom. I really love it and glad I got it =]
