Franken #13 and nail of the day :)

Hi there my lovely readers,

Today's franken is such a beautiful color. It is so me. It is a grayish muted medium purple with subtle shimmers and the base is a happy mixture of cream and jelly. I liked it so much on my nails too. Let me know what you think :)

Annabelle Mono Blushes

A while back, I was hunting down some pretty rosy blushes and I found these by Annabelle. I don't think Annabelle products are found in the US but they are easily found in most drugstores in Canada and the line includes some really nice high quality products.  

The packaging of these blushes is plain but chic. The colors I am showing here are 27 (Don't know the name), 51 (Golden Bronze), 48 (Chestnut). I hate that they don't have names on the packaging itself only in the store. 

27: Matte muted rosy tan color - I can't find this color online, maybe it is discontinued?

51 (Golden Bronze): Bronzy rosy shimmery color

48 (Chestnut): Satin medium rosy color

Although I am pale and these colors look a bit on the dark side, I enjoy them a lot. Here are the swatches:

The next swatch is in the sun.

My Nails Today: OPI Holy Pink Pagoda!

Hi my lovely readers,

I've been feeling a bit down lately. Maybe it is related to the never ending winter or maybe it is due to the fact that I have to finish writing my thesis in a month or so :( I wanted to put on a color that will cheer me up so I chose this OPI color. I think it is discontinued or so. I found it a year ago in the clearance section in London Drugs. It's called "Holy Pink Pagoda!". What name is that?

The color is a beautiful warm shimmery pink which I am not used to but I really like it. It is uplifting and it makes me feel warm even though it is freezing outside. See the snow outside my window...

I have my nails shorter than usual these days and this is not my usual swatch hand which is why the pictures are not that pretty...

What do you think about this color? Do you like to wear summery colors in the winter?

Franken #12: Me and my muted greens

Hi girls,

Today I have a new Franken color for you. It is a very beautiful muted grayish green. I can't get over my love for muted grayish colors :) All my swatches are one coat without top coat. That's why this color is not so shiny but it is very beautiful on the nails :)

What do you think? Do you also like muted colors?

GOSH Velvet Touch Eyeliners

Hi there my beautiful readers :)

This post is about one of my favorite long lasting eyeliners,GOSH Velvet Touch eyeliners. These eyeliners are very soft and creamy, very rich in color and at the same time very long lasting. If you give them a minute to set they don't budge. The colors I have here are Copper Girl, Golden Globe, Metallic Brass and Bananas.

(Top-Bottom): Copper Girl, Metallic Brass, Bananas, and Golden Globe

(Top-Bottom): Metallic Brass, Copper Girl, Golden Globe, Bananas

I was roaming the isles of Shoppers drug mart one day searching for an eyeliner which is dark but not boring. When I saw Metallic Brass I was instantly in love :) It is a beautiful very dark greenish brown color with very fine golden shimmers. It is absolutely amazing. Copper Girl is a metallic brownish coppery color. It is a pretty color but not unique./ Golden Globe is a warm medium golden color. Very pretty but a bit sheer compared to the others. Bananas is a light yellowish golden color. It is very pretty and works great on the water line.

My favorite ones are Metallic Brass and Bananas. Have you tried the GOSH velvet touch eyeliners? If you have, what other colors do you think are interesting?

Franken #11: Orange Nectar

Hi there my lovely readers,

Today I have for you a beautiful reddish orange franken color with lots of golden shimmers and a slight greenish duo-chrome. Finally we have some sun and I could take better pictures. I love this color even though it is not very much in trend right now but it is still very beautiful and sophisticated. Enjoy ;)

How do you like my franken?

Annabelle Smoothie pencils = LOVE :)

These are one of my favorite cream eyeshadows and I love eyeliners and cream eyeshadows if you could not tell by now :) They look like NYX jumbo pencils but they last a lot longer and do not crease as easy as the NYX ones. They are so creamy and very pigmented. 

I have here three neutral colors to show you. I have some other colors which are not neutral but I like the neutral ones better of course. The colors are Melonade, Mokamirage, and Chocoloco. I would give them a 5 stars rating in my book. See the swatches below ;)

New Zoomed Franken pictures

Just a quick note to let you know that I have edited the posts of my previous frankens to have more cropped and zoomed swatch pictures :) I will do this from now on since it makes the color more clear. Hope you enjoy them :)

Cheers,
