NOTD #4 - RED'y for St James!

I decided to share with you what I am wearing on my nails today. I haven’t painted my nails for months because they are not in great condition, so PLEASE forgive the terrible state of them in the photos. Also my camera was playing up, so the photos don’t show the red true to colour. When my nails are in better condition, I will re-take the photos for a new NOTD.

I used Nails Inc St James, which is described as a pillar box red shade. It only took one coat on each nail and I applied Barry M Basecoat Topcoat & Nail Hardener All-in-One Paint over the top and I should have really applied it before the red shade too, but I couldn’t be bothered as I actually painted them late last night before I went to bed!

My nails actually don’t look too bad in person, but my camera has a knack for picking up small details and exaggerating them! I may also do another NOTD for Christmas because I have a Barry M Nail Paint I have be saving for such an occasion.

Too Faced Pumpkin Spice Palette

I first saw a preview of this palette in early August on the Trendmood Instagram page. I just knew I had to have it. I also own and love the Gingerbread Spice and Gingerbread Extra Spicy Palettes by Too Faced. These are the only types of holiday palettes that actually interest me from Too Faced. All of their other holiday palettes tend to be gimmicky (but pretty looking) and not good quality. THE PACKAGING The packaging is a rounded rectangular shaped tin in a beautiful pumpkin orange colour. The design on the front kind of looks like spread on a cracker. The name of the palette is printed in two different raised fonts. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift up to reveal the inside of the palette. The little rectangular eyeshadow pans are arranged across a metallic gold base, with the shade names printed in a small black font above each pan. There is also a mirror on the underside of the lid of the palette. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get eighteen 0.70g eyeshadows in Matte (M),...

Serial Sampler #17

I chose this sample as my free gift with purchase and I hadn’t heard of the brand before. It happens to be part of a series of four fragrances and they are all unisex/genderless. The designs of the full sized bottles are very interesting and artsy. Looking at the four, had I been able to pick which one to receive, I most likely would have chosen the one called 10am Flirt as it seems the fruitiest based of the four. The sample I have is Santal Sky by KIERIN NYC and it is a 1.5ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum. “Intertwined like vines, we stroll through Central Park. Leaves release their woody fragrance. Under a canopy of trees, in the center of it all, we are a million miles from city life. Music from impromptu drum circles, the rhythm of runners’ footsteps, diverse languages fill my ears like poetry. This retreat into nature refreshes my soul. The sun smiling down upon us, I pull my loved one close. In synchronicity we breathe.” It contains a mixture notes, such ...
