HEY GUYS, I AM SO SORRY!

My computer crashed as I was backing up the files after my exam week.

I just got it back today! 

I WILL ANNOUNCE THE GIVEAWAY WINNER IN A BIT!

Q
Oh and I think Essie polishes can be watery sometimes, but I like that because I think it makes it smoother to apply :D I think it's expensive because it used to be salon only. I honestly think it should be considered "high end" for its price though, it's around OPI's which is considered "high end" sorry for double ask, I should have said it in the same post >___> -starrycandy

That’s no problem!
I agree with your high end argument though. The actual price of Essie and the fact that it sells out more than the lower end nail polishes (where I work) astounds me. I guess that in the end it is the brand that some people look for, but at the same time there are so many other brands that do the exact same, if not better, things than Essie. 

THE GIVEAWAY WINNER HAS BEEN CHOSEN!

I will announce who it is at the end of the week. And will contact you as soon as I can! 

I’m sorry I can’t do it now, but I have a lot of things to accomplish before Friday arrives. So be patient! Please and thank you!

In the meantime, cross you fingers and hope you’re the winner :P 

Q
Hi, can you do a review on the quo eyelashes? The middle one in your haul post (idk the number sorry). I'm sorry I'm on anon, it won't let me ask questions when I'm logged in >___< -starrrycandy

A

Oh, yes for sure! I believe the ones in the middle are the 804s. 

Q
do you get most of the products you "haul" for free?
from:Anonymous
A

Unless stated otherwise, then yes I do get some of the stuff I “haul” for free. 

Q
which color is your favorite out of all the loreal lip balms? 418 is really popular on the internet c: what do you think?
from:Anonymous
A

I really do like 418, but I’d definitely have to go with 518 Tender Mauve. It was the first one I purchased and I’m already on my second balm.

Q
Would you consider making videos instead of posts? Maybe exclusively to Tumblr? Lol... just a thought.
A

I’ll consider it :)

Q
What do you think about Essie quality though? I find it to be watery sometimes. And not even worth the price either.
A

I find that some of the lighter colours are watery or streaky at times. However, their new formulas are better or getting better at least. When I do buy Essie, I tend to go for the darker colours. 

I agree with the pricing though. It’s ridiculous!! I’m glad I have my discount! 

Q
What's on your nails in your recent pictures?!?!?!?!?! LOVE.
A

Essie in Lapiz of Luxury and Essie Luxeffects in Set in Stones.

Thanks :)

Shoppers Booty!

Quo Lashes in 802, 803 & 804 ($6 each)
 I don’t normally wear false eyelashes, but these are my favourites because they look so lovely under/with my glasses. 

L’Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara in 635 Blackest Black ($13.99) - I got this for free!
 I have so many mascaras that I don’t even know if I want this. 

Marc Anthony Beach Waves Texture Spray (~$17)
I can’t wait to use this!! I don’t do my hair at all. The length is literally at the top of my bottom (lol) and I don’t bother styling it anymore. And my hair is naturally wavy, so I think this will give it a lovely boost of volume!

 Quo Mini Razors (~$6)
New product that I’m so excited to use. 

L’Oreal Glam Bronze Sun Radiance Trio in Brunette (~$17) - I got this for free! 
It was handed to me and I said okay. I don’t normally go for the shimmery/shiny bronzers, but I guess I’ll give this one a go. They sold out pretty fast at my location, so I’m going to assume that it’s a good one.

Lancome Spring 2012 Roseraie des Delices Quad (Turquoise) - I got this for free!
 This was a part of the actual Lancome Spring 2012 display. I disinfected it with a healthy dose of alcohol! The perks of being a cosmetic merchandiser? I think so!

Estee Lauder & Clinique Gratis! (Whoops! Forgot to flip the photo! LOL oh well!)
NEW Invisible Fluid Makeup Foundation (retails for $42.50)
Chubby Stick in Super Strawberry (retails for $19) 
I’m just beyond ecstatic that I even got hooked up with the Estee Lauder/Clinique gratis. I’m not even on commission!!
