Kat Von D Palette

Hey guys !

I recently bought this palette on a trip to NYC and i never really did anything with it because i sorta forgot i owned it lol until now that is :)

This eyeshadow palette is the 'True Romance Eyeshadow Palette' in 'Ludwig'. Kat Von D says that, "A smokey eye adds an instant air of mystery" and how very true is this ! A smokey eye is so sexy, sleek and mysterious all at the same time and i know that this is one reason i love them.

I love the packaging- too cute !

This palette contains 8 shadows in the prettiest shades of bronze and greens i have ever seen ! Such a versatile palette that can be used during the day or night.

These were swatched in natural daylight, all colours are super pigmented, as these are all swtached with just one swipe. However, im not too happy about the black shadow in the palette, i had to keep swiping my finger over the swatch to try and darken it, but it wouldnt get to a darker black that i was after. But 7 out of 8 shadows being completely awesome means im not complaining.

These are just some closer photos on the swatches, again in natural sunlight.

I believe this was $35 from Sephora in Times Square NYC. They are such a good price, i wish i wouldve bought the palettes in all the other colours because i remember there being one in purples and blues- i have no idea why i opted for the greeny/ bronze palette, normally i would go for purple !

Has anyone else tried these or do you guys own the other palettes in blue and purple ?

I need to get my hands on them, not sure how much they would cost to locate these and pay the Australian rate (we get ripped off down here so bad !!!)

WInter Nailpolish Shopping List !!

Hey everyone,

I just realised that i never did the second part of my nailpolish post yesterday because i never quite made it to the library at uni to study last night, which is good and bad at the same time !

I just rummaged through my nailpolishes looking for a wintery colour because i wanted to wear boots tonight but i have nothing thats intact, everything is dried out or just not cute anymore which has led me to make a winter nailpolish shopping guide for me and for you guys..

1- OPI Lincoln Park After Dark: A deep purple which almost looks black but the purples comes through in the sunlight (my fave winter polish)
2- OPI Romeo and Joliet: A maroon colour thats not too dark, very autumn going into winter i think
3- OPI You Dont Know Jacques: a colour somewhere in between taupe but grey and its matte (<3 matte)
4- OPI Yoga-ta Get This Blue: the most perfect navy blue you have seen in your life !
5- OPI Barefoot in Barcelona: A midtone nude that reminds me of weak hot chocolate which i secretly wanna eat or drink seeing as your drink drinks not eat them !
6- OPI Mrs O'Learys BBQ: A dark chocolatey red brown
7- OPI Dont Mess with OPI: An emerald green because i love green lately

As you will see in the pictures that ill post below, winter polishes are all about dark colours because it just works on some sort of level. Its a bit like when you see more brunettes in winter and then they all go blonde for summer ? Maybe its just in Australia where this happens but its true so take this into account next time haha Back on topic, im going out to but these 7 polishes first thing monday morning and yay i am so excited about this !

Feel free to add to my list..

Hugs and kisses xxx

Happy Shopping :) xxxx

Fave nailpolish atm !

Hey guys,

What a week I have had ! I had no internet access for about two days cause my computer went completely dunzo and I never realised how important internet is in the 21st century ! For the first time in forever, i had to actually use a street directory instead of whereis.com, i had no idea what was going on in the news because i had no ninemsn updates and i couldnt even track my internet shopping parcels because im not sure if you can do that if its not online and importantly i couldnt blog.. I had the most fabulous idea about a post for you guys about mint green nail polish which is my current fave colour for nails but then i had this internet problem and i forgot what i wanted to blab on about. But back to my point, i found one which im obsessed with and its by BYS and its called Minte Green but its a matte polish and im in loveeee ! Now that i look at my nails its not necessarily mint, its more like a bright mint medium happy green haha, ill post a pic below and then maybe you will understand my not so logical explanation.. It cost $3.75 which is a bargain and the application is so good and easy cause the brush was really nice, so ill definately get some more by BYS, its such a cheap alternative to OPI with a huge range of colours too which is good. Ive had my nails done for three days now and i still have no chips or anything which is great seeing as its such a cheap polish and i must mention again that there is like a billion colours available !!
Ive also had my eye on B by Bloom that they sell in Target but none of the colours a really appealing to me.. Has anyone tried these ? If you have please shoot me an email or comment below and tell me what you thought of them.What other brands have awesome green polishes ?

PS. for those of you that will ask, i got my BYS nailpolish from a store called Gloss here in Sydney and im sure they have heaps of locations.

Until next time,

Love Suzie xxx
