Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry Touch Sunscreen – First Impression

I picked up a sample of this a little while ago, and I’m finally getting around to using it (Bad Tia!). It goes on very smoothly, and takes little ‘rubbing’ in for it to spread well, and doesn’t go white and streaky. Once on, it doesn’t have a greasy feel, like a lot of sunscreens have.

Just a Bit of Everything

Just a little catch up. I have successfully worn makeup at least 5 days out of 7 for the past month. I like to give my skin a breathe, or if I plan on getting sweaty or dirty, I don’t bother, but will face up once I’ve showered afterwards. I’m enjoying my CoverGirl foundation, [...] . . . → Read More: Just a Bit of Everything

I’m Just Not Feeling the Love Today

I love OPI colours! I really do! Vibrant and something for every mood. But today? I’m just not feeling the love. I wanted something strong, but neutral. So I pulled out the Chocolate Moose. I HATE the sheerness of it. Four coats to get decent coverage!! ACK. While there are some polishes [...] . . . → Read More: I’m Just Not Feeling the Love Today

It’s not Prudent to Change Everything Right NOW.

One thing that I haven’t blogged about so far on my journey is about clothes and the like.  Mainly because I haven’t started re-populating it yet.  Why?  Because it can be an expensive exercise, or at the very least, a time consuming one. I’m not a fashion blogger, I’m certainly in no position to be.  I’m [...] . . . → Read More: It’s not Prudent to Change Everything Right NOW.

Faux-Dita Manicure

Back in the 30’s women wore their nailpolish differently. Called a ‘half-moon manicure’, it was supposed to show your good health to those who took notice of your hands.  But these days it’s just another cool nail look.  Glamazon Burlesque queen  Dita Von Teese is often seen sporting the look.  It really isn’t a “new’ [...] . . . → Read More: Faux-Dita Manicure

Product Review – Cover Girl

Last week I bought myself some new makeup for my ‘every day’ makeup. Priceline was having a 3 for 2 sale, so I picked me up some lovely Covergirl products. First was some base. I didn’t want uber heavy daytime makeup, and thought that the name of the foundation was exactly what I wanted it to [...] . . . → Read More: Product Review – Cover Girl

To See, or Not To See…

Way back on the 10th (my birthday and a bit of a messy afternoon), I lost my glasses in all the hub-ub of the day.  I was in dire need of new ones asap, as not wearing glasses gives me all kinds of nasty headaches.  I knew I had an un-lensed pair at home (somewhere), [...] . . . → Read More: To See, or Not To See…

Some Manicures Are Not Meant To Be..

Wouldn’t you know it, but my lovely Blue Curacao nails did not last long.  It seems that if you grab your washing out of the dryer the moment it ‘bings’ at you, then your nail polish is likely to melt.  EEK! At 4:30ish in the afternoon, I didn’ t have enough time to do any more [...] . . . → Read More: Some Manicures Are Not Meant To Be..

Pas Une Manucure Française

I painted my nails blue this morning.  Chi Chi “Toy Boy” in fact.  It’s very much a Blue Curacao blue.  I was marvelling at the colour and slight sparkle, when it hit me.  As pretty as the polish was, plain nails seemed boring.  Seems that I’ve been looking at too much nail art. I have dance [...] . . . → Read More: Pas Une Manucure Française

Because I Can

In my last post I spoke about how I am starting do DO things with my hair and nails.  The hair has pretty much only had the colour done, and I might get it shaped again before winter sets in, just to make it easier to set.  But my nails have been getting a workout.
