L’Occitane Relaunches Shea Butter Range for Winter

So I received this in my inbox this morning and thought I would pass it along, my mum and I swear by the Shea Butter Hand Cream (my hands are sensitive and always feel dry so finding creams that are rich but non-irritating and non-greasy are always a plus [I usually keep the L'Occitane by my bedside and a small tube of E45 hand lotion in my bag for "on the go" moisturising needs!]). Most of the other products are too rich (as my skin is very combination and cannot handle so much moisture and lush in a product…it goes oil crazy!) but perfect for skin that tends to be more on the dry side.

day six hundred and six, rescue beauty lounge smitten

So! This picture is making me a bit jealous as my nails look gorgeous here but I just had a disagreement with my nails (I wanted them to be nice and long and they wanted to break and I am back to itty bitty nubbins)….but moving on, this colour is so unlike me but I really love it anyway. It’s a beautiful blush pink and makes my skin look really healthy (unlike it’s super unhealthy winter pallor of the moment), it is in my interview shades list that I keep in my head. I feel like such a bad “cool colour” lover for being so into this shade but it’s just so pretty, I think it might be one of those universally flattering colours? I do hope I stop getting job rejections and start getting interviews so I can start wearing some of my interview shades for more than just pretend interviews I give myself in the mirror to keep my skills sharp! :) (Thinking of keeping the blog running 1-2x a week right now until I figure my stuff out, hope that’s alright with everyone!)

Nicki Minaj and OPI


So…we all knew it was coming and here is a great shot from the Illustrated Nail. I am not into shatter but I actually want the aubergine shatter/maroon shatter. It looks amazing and the yellow-y green one also!

OPI Holland Collection Preview Spring 2012

So. Where have I been….I temped for a couple weeks and then back to unemployment. I spent about 3 hours today trying to rescue my blog because I upgraded to the newest version of WordPress and it broke my blog dashboard! I couldn’t log in and it took me 3 hours to figure it out (well no, I knew how to fix it…just not how to fix it in terms of like what to do. I knew I needed to remove this one folder but just how to access it without being a part of my dashboard was the tough part!). I’ve been busy trying to figure out my life and how to get a new job and going to a lot of interviews and not necessarily wearing a lot of nail polish (or rather not changing it daily). I’m still not 100% sure what I want to do with my blog, I am not removing it but I’m not sure I am in a place to go back to daily postings now or anytime soon :) .

BUT….before I lost my job I went to the AMAZING OPI Holland Collection preview for Spring 2012 at the beautiful Claridges Hotel in London. I’d only been past it and never inside and it was so exciting and the collection is everything I ever dreamed of (and more!). Not to mention that I will be featured on some online QVC videos blabbing about why I collect old OPI polishes and why there is such a market for old school collectors (like me…or I try to be one)!

Claridges….on the outside, so pretty! Some day I will eat there…maybe even afford to sleep there!

Sneak attack picture of Helen (of JustNiceThings) who will probably murder me for posting this picture but I think she looks beautiful, I think of her as my eye makeup guru (and long nail idol)

The OPI Holland Collection! So, so many standouts. Both blues on the bottom right are shimmers, one with gold and one with silver. A proper orange crème (which is fantastic because I was just lamenting before this preview that there weren’t enough oranges around) [plus you can't have a Dutch collection without Orange...Orange IS Dutch!!!]. Also the brown impresses me (and I’m not into browns) as it has red and golden shimmer and it has depth and beauty. I definitely need all of this collection….or as much as I can afford!

Blogging Hiatus

So. I lost my job really unexpectedly yesterday morning (very unexpectedly, thank you recession!) and I’m just not in the right place to blog. I need to focus on finding a job and closing out my life at my old job. I hope to be back soon.
