eBay fever!

Bonjour mes amis!

So, I was running out of receiving items in the mail from eBay. lol  So I had to make another few eBay orders.  I didn't go too over board THIS time.  But, I just can't seem to stop... :s  I have offically diagniosed myself with "ebay fever!"LOL  How can you NOT get eBay fever, when there are SO MANY cool and awesome deals you can find.  I have sadly taken one of my friends to the other side, and caused her to get addicted to eBay as well...lol  I must admit, I was one of those people, that was skeptical about online shopping especially with eBay.  But now, I am a true believer in online shopping. Hahaha  But I did shop with caution, cause you can never be to careful...;)

So my most recent purchases on ebay were:

10 piece cuticle oil pens by O.P.I

88 warm colour eyeshadow palette

Even though, I only purchased a couple items for this time.  There are many more things, I have my eye on, just waiting in my eBay watch list. Haha  So stay tuned for those purchases later down the road. ;)

"Minx" it up.

Greetings loves!

Have you ever noticed the nails on celebrities lately?  That gorgeous chrome like effect or overly patterned nail print?  Well, Minx is the answer!  It's a newer nail technology being used on nails all around the world starting with the celebrities!  But now, it has become more known to everyone, and is available to the general public. Other nail companies are coming out with their own version of "Minx" nail wraps.  Like Sally Hansen for instants; they have come out with their own nail wraps.  Which can be purchased at your local retail stores like, Wal-Mart and Shoppers Drug Mart.  But Minx was the original company to introduce this new look.

I find, I would only use this technique for a SPECIAL occasion.  The wraps do last for a long while.  Longer then regular nail polish.  No fuse with waiting for it to dry, and no more colour chipping.  But for the price, I couldn't bring myself to using these EVERY TIME I wanted to decorate my nails.  I do LOVE the chrome shine effect.  But there are nail polishes out there that can create that similar chrome look too.

Plus, my Konad stamping kit does a great job too, on its own.  So I can always get the chrome effect nail polishes to use along with my Konad stamping kit. ;) It may take more patients and time, but I like to play with my nail colours and stamps.  SO it doesn't really bother me. :)

But, I still would like to try these nail wraps out anyway.  And, like I always say:  When in doubt, go to eBay. Ha ha  I did in fact find MANY nail wraps selling on eBay.  So, I of course purchased some!  I didn't choose to purchase the original Minx nail wraps though.  I went with the imitation ones. Once I receive my imitation nail wraps, I will do a review on those asap!  So stay "wrapped" in. ;)

My lips are sealed

Good evening gorgeous beings!

I just wanted to ask you all one question.  When you here the name "Violent Lips". . . does that name ring a bell with anyone?  If not, you're not the only one. lol  Apparently it is a new "hot" look/trend.  I am noticing this look surfacing more and more these days.  So I thought I would mention it, for those who are unaware.

Do you remember when you were younger, and you would get those rub on tattoos as a prize in a cereal box, or in that circus coloured popcorn treat box?  I can't remember what that coloured popcorn was called.  I never really ate it, I just wanted it for the prize inside. Hahaha

So anyway, there are lip tattoos that you can purchase now!  They come in various designs and they are called "Violent Lips".  They showed up in early 2011.  And I know it is now 2012.  But I still wanted to share my thoughts.  This product was created by a father and his two daughters. They were playing one day with their mom's temporary tattoos.  The one daughter chose to place the tattoo on their lips, instead of their arm or whatever other body part kids choose to stick tattoos on.  And that's how the idea was born!  I love the story behind this product,  And best of all, they do not test on animals, just supermodels! ;)  If you are a fan of America's Next Top Model.  This season cycle 18 "British Invasion" the girls actually showcased these lovelies.  They sported their national flags, on their lips. :D

These lip tats are said to last between 4-8 hours.  But seeing some peoples reviews on this product, it depends on your day.  In time it does tend to flake off, and make your lips feel dry throughout the day.  And so some suggest you have lip balm at hand.  To help sooth the feeling of dry lips.  I think I would probably buy these to go with a halloween costume or something.  But I don't think I would wear it out, as a normal everyday look. lol  I must say, I REALLY like the glitter effect ones! ;)  I think those ones will have to be the first ones I try out!
