UK beauty goodies...

So, I been back from Glasgow for about a week now...but once you're back at work, vacations seem like lifetime ago.
I didn't make it to Superdrug, (tear) but I did end up in Boots....so this is what I picked up.

First off, I do have a slight nail polish "obsession"....so I was thrilled to see that "Models Own" have their own nail polish collection. I love this line....I picked up the red colour for my good friend Cocamia, and the other two for myself. I have yet to try the black "shatter" effect. (That will be my next manicure). Very excited.

Ok, so I'm a big fan of dry shampoo. Especially "Batiste". I tell my clients (who wash their hair everyday) to purchase this. That being said, I have only seen two scents of Batiste in Canada...original (love) and tropical (not so much). I was beyond thrilled to see other scents such as "boho" and "diva". The larger bottle is dry shampoo with a hint of colour. There wasn't one for redheads, so I picked up the brunette.

I also picked up a lip colour from No7. This is from their collaboration with lipstick guru Poppy King. it goes on pretty sheer which I love...I wish that I had bought more!

Thanks to all the UK beauty bloggers for your suggestions...they came in very handy!

MAC lipglosses

It's been a while since I've posted about any new makeup purchases.  Mainly because December was a write off with all the shifts I was working at the salon.

But it;s a new year, so lets start it off right!

I went to MAC recently with Cocamia , and picked out a few lip glosses that I'm super pumped about.

The first sheer nude on is a "Cremesheen Glass", in "Boy Bait". I love it because in is super glossy, but very sheer...just a hint of that sexy nude colour.

The second on is a "Kissable Lipcolour" in "Exxxhibitionist". (Love the name). It's part of the "peacocky" launch and it definitely has much more pigment than the cremesheen line.

Last is a oldie but goodie. Just a regular "Lipglass", in "Pink Poodle". I've bought this one before...love the pop of colour...so I thought that I would treat myself to this one again!!!

What did you buy on your last MAC run???

XO,

With many of the various looks on the runways this Fall, one thing one consistent.....LIPS. Dark, red and loaded with sex appeal....the return of strong lip is here.

Random inspirations

I'm a little pressed for time this morning, since I have to go to work today. Yes, hair on Christmas Eve....>Will it ever end? lol
I actually feel very lucky to see all of my regular clients around the holidays...but I'm starting to feel wiped!!!
At least tonight I will be able to have lots of X-mas food and drinks! Yeah.
Anyways, here's some pics of images that are really inspiring me right now. A little storyboard, if you will. :)

Celebs with hair extensions. Some good.... some very, very bad. Britney, I will do your hair for free!

Lipgloss. It never gets old for me. Always on the quest for the perfect colour. I want this set!

Another thing that never gets old....is my love for shoes. A women can never have enough pairs. Right Betts?

Artwork for my cover-up tattoo. ( don't remember where I got this image, sorry for not crediting) That's not my leg, but  I love the flowers. I'm really feeling anything "Art Nouveau" style right now.

So, that's what's turning my crank right now, what about you?
