a day in the life...
so today I went to central in HK to take a tour around my family friend's new salon that is opening within the next week - I also volunteered to be a guinea pig for hair washing this weekend! after that, I wandered down to IFC (huge shopping mall) before going to watch the new planet of the apes movie con mi familia - it was fantastic by the way! below is my ootd and a few random snaps from my travels :)

galaxy nails.
Sunday, August 28, 2011
i saw a post by llymlrs showing some gorgeous galaxy nails. i didn't have everything i needed at home so i did a simplified version
I started with a base coat of Rimmel's ultra violet. I then used a sponge applicator to apply OPI's Sahara Sapphire to the top 2/3rds of my nails. after that had dried, I applied Zoya's charisma to the top third. then, I topped the whole look off with paul&joe's polish in 008 to add a nice golden shimmer. to finish, I went over the whole nail with Seche Vite top coat - et voila!

Ins and Outs (1)
Monday, August 1, 2011
Hey guys, So I know I've been missing for quite a while but I've been slightly uninspired. However, I feel like I owe it to my readers to make more of an effort to keep my blog up to date. So here we are, and I'd thought I'd start out with something simple :) so I thought I'd start with my current ins and outs :)
INS:
- The big bang theory - I LOVE this show, it is hilarious and I have been watching it non-stop whilst at home during the holidays.
- MAC Cream blush in Lilicent - cream blushes are always great in the summer, especially in HK with this awful heat and intense humidity. It also looks phenomenal on the lips :)
- My new 'I' pendant - I bought this as a present for myself for graduating high school and getting into university. It is from Links and I have wanted one for years, here is a link if you want to check it out :)
- Painting my nails - I have a current obsession of painting my nails at least once a week. I cannot stand my bare nails at the moment and enjoying both pastel and nude shades like OPI's Dulce de Leche and OPI's Steady as She Rose from the Pirates of the Caribbean Collection.
- Soft bronzy summery smokey eyes - Using just a 217 and a colour like MAC's Tempting or Woodwinked - it's perfect for a summer night with a bit of a tan :)
- Having nothing to do :) - For years i've had to slave during my holidays over homework, assigned reading and essays. I'm so glad that I get to just get to spend this holiday doing what ever I want :)
OUTS:
- The heat and humidity of HK - it's been ridiculous, so much so that I actually don't want to go outside. It's gotten up to 35 degrees and well over 90% humidity :(
- MAC's Belightful Beauty Powder - it's all just glitter - what a mess!
- MAC's nail polishes - they have such beautiful colours, but they have such a terrible application that they are not worth it.
- Packing - I really don't like having to pack and unpack over and over again, but I'm going to have to get used to it as I'm moving soon!
Well that's it for now,
Izzy xx
