Fall in Love with Autumn

While the sky was blue and sunny, I took a few pictures of the falling leaves and the beautiful array of colours. The funny thing is, I took it in my backyard~! Or close to it anyways... ^_~





The leaves change colours fast. A couple of days later...






Tell me what you think about this type of post :) Yay or nay?

Bunnie Loves: LUSH Dragon's Egg Bath Ballistic

So this is the very first bath ballistic that I've tried from lush ^^ and I've got to say I'm hooked!!! I can't believe I didn't discover the magic of lush earlier! I must have missed out...

be careful because this bath bomb crumbles easily
The dragon's egg bath ballistic is one of the new addition to their permanent line. It smells like sour lemon drops--energetic, tangy--just down right delicious. It's so refreshing that it'll definitely wake up a sleepy head. Aha. I find that the scent is almost identical to the one of lush each peach massage bar :) another yummy and wonderful product. The bath ballistic retails for $4.95CAD for 6.3oz.

"Magical firework extravaganza" -lush

This bath bomb has little coloured disks on it which really fits the 'fairytale' theme that it is supposed to give off. When the polkadots are left in the water, they expand into a jelly like material that I find rather amusing (to play with).

LUSH goes Cute and Spooky with a New Twist

if you haven't heard, lush is coming out with a Day of the Dead Collection instead of their usual Halloween collection ^^ the festivity itself originated from Mexico, where families and friends come together to honour the deceased in the form of celebrations and parties (read more about it here).

here's the sneak peak :) i've got to say, they look very vibrant and colourful. they must be a heck lot of fun to use to! i can't wait to actually see them in person.

Swatched Up a Storm: Nail Polish 2

sorry about the recent absenses! it has been very difficult for me to find time to write a post...especially being a perfectionist -_-;; i like to provide my readers with high quality pictures and accurate information so research is sometimes necessary.

i had a lot of lovely comments on my first nail polish swatch post ^^ with fall coming in, new collections hit stores and you see this random girl walking around with a handful of nail polish testers and a skittles manicure. haha i do it for all you awesome people!

Quo is celebrating their 10th anniversary with an alluring limited edition! this is the very first time where they feature nail polishes as part of their line.

you've probably already heard about the Nicole by OPI Matte Collection around the blogsphere. i was at shoppers the other day spotted the collection! i think the colours are really unique and are worth getting since they have fine shimmers in them, but dries to a matte finish. shimmers+matte= uber interesting ^_~ they dry fast too! almost like lightning haha

i only tried on 2 colours: virtuous violet and positive energy. i used 2 coats [=

i went over to zellers since it was in the mall anyways. i saw this interesting wetnwild color icon insomnia collection and i was spooked by its dark theme. i swatched 33484 blue jitters and 33486 (one coat). apparently they have great formula and a few coats provide a rich opacity with nice glitter. some of them lack shine so they appear dull (just use a top coat to solve this problem).

lastly, i visited my nearest loblaw, and they had almost all the 
joe fresh fall colours in stock! i went there twice. the first time, they had all of them but when i took the picture, they only had these.
