Snapshot Sunday
I finally replaced my old and broken iPod Classic a while back with an iPod Touch and I’m happily snapping away with its intergrated camera. Here are a few random shots I did, using Instagram.
Taking care of my plants. I can only keep Crassulaceae and Cactae alive so those are the only plants I have. Unfortunately, the middle one of the Crassulaceae started to look all dried out but the Pokon helped immensely! It’s almost back to normal now :)
Posing my stuff to take pictures for the shop log I posted earlier today.
Soaking up the last bit of sunshine in the back yard.
I won two CD singles by Linkin Park in a contest I accidentally entered, lol. A music store posted a photo on their twitter, asking if anybody was a fan of the displayed artists. I replied I love Linkin Park and next thing I know, I’m being asked to enter my address so they could send the singles. I may have done a little victory dance.
As much as I like Instagram, the filters don’t really improve the way food looks on a picture. I was having toast with pine apple salad (which ended up very yummy) but the photo is a bit blah.
Nail mail I received yesterday. I subscribed to a magazine and would receive a Herôme beauty bag as a welcome gift. It was delivered yesterday and contains the entire Australia collection, Oxy Base Coat, Oxy Top Coat and a one-minute drying spray. I cannot wait to try everything out!
On a random note, I counted my polishes after receiving the Herôme package and I own a grand total of 442 polishes right now. Maybe I should buy less nail polish, but then… Look at all those fall collections! I doubt I’ll be able to resist, lol.
Happy Sunday!
Shop Log #007
I had a day off earlier and decided to do some fall shopping. Here’s the log of my new things.
Clothes: Dark green skinny pants by Mexx, two t-shirts by Mexx.
Scent goodness: Burberry Brit Summer Edition Eau de Toilette and Calvin Klein’s Obsession Night Eau de Parfum.
Nail polishes: Catrice and Essence, see below.
The Burberry Brit Summer Edition was on sale ’cause it’s obviously out of season. I happily bought it for 20% of the usual price and will keep it stored till Spring 2013. I’m a big fan of special sales and generally don’t mind having to wait before I get to use a product because I get to feel proud for waiting, lol.
Four polishes from Catrice’s Cucuba Collection; Sunny Side (review), Reggaeton, Salsa Cubana, Havana Drum. There’s a fifth polish in this collection, a mint blue/green creme called ‘Take It Mint’. It was the color I wanted most from this collection but all stores had already sold out. Very frustrating because I looked for it in 9 stores. Eventually my mom ran across it at a local shop and bought it for me, even though she doesn’t approve of my nail polish obsession, so yaaay! :-) I guess people really do listen to me when I whine about missing a polish from a certain collection, haha.
Two Essence Nail Art Special Effect Toppers from their new Fall collection; Holo Topping, please! and Mrs and Mr Glitter. Fortunately, I got lucky finding these at the 3rd store I hit. I think more and more people are starting to buy the cheaper brands or something, or I’m just unlucky to always run into half empty displays. Or maybe it’s pay-back for all those times I previously completed my collections without any trouble at all? I certainly hope not!
I’ve also pruchased a small photo studio set for micro shots. I’m still experimenting with it, but I hope I’ll be able to start using it for my swatches soon. Until then, you’ll get the swatches my usual style :-)
Are you already stocking up on Fall collections? Drop me a comment!
