Changes

You know... I've been thinking. It might be time for me to take this blog in a new direction.

I really love makeup and nail polish, and normally I love blogging about it, but I've been feeling so uninspired as of late. Not because I've stopped loving makeup, but because I have a new love...

Pennies. I'm totally into pennies right now. Even though I rarely use them, I have a pretty big collection going. It seems like every time I go to the store to buy something, I end up coming home with a few. So, from now on, I'm going to start reviewing pennies from my collection!



Here's one of the oldest ones in my collection. It's from 1967 and it's still good as new! Pennies last forever. They don't go bad. They might start to get dirty after a while, but you can just clean them off with a little metal polish. Look at that deep copper color. I miss the old formula.




These are some more old ones; from the 1970's collection. It's long discontinued, but you might still be able to find some old dusty ones in stores that have older stock in their registers. This 1972 one has some weird green stuff on it... But it's still worth one cent just like a normal one.



This one it a mystery. I don't know what collection it's from. The label is all messed up and I can't read the year. Might have been from 1986?



Check this out. These are all the same penny from 1993, but they're each different colors! The original was bright, shiny copper, but the others are more brown and not as shiny. Some quality control! I can't believe they expect me to buy that "the formula hasn't changed" story. The colors are obviously different, they should bring back the original! I bet it's going for a lot on eBay, too. Ugh.


This is a newer one... It looks a lot like some of the older ones I have. It's a little shinier, but it's so similar. I seem to have a lot of dupes in my collection. Most of these just aren't unique! Somehow I keep collecting more even though I know I have something similar already.



In 2009, they changed the back label a bit. On the left is the 2009 label and on the right is the regular one. Everything else is the same. I don't know if it's limited edition or not, I haven't seen very many of them. But look how shiny it is! The copper is a few shades lighter than most of the other ones in my collection.

Those old formula pennies stink! I never noticed it until I got a brand new one, but once you compare them you can totally tell the difference. They smell like dirty old metal. The new ones still have that weird coppery metal smell, but not as strong as the old ones.

I'm pretty sure you can only get these in the United States. They have copper coins in other countries, but the designs are different, so they're not quite the same. I know there are places where you can swap your currency for American pennies, so it shouldn't be too hard to swap for some.

Man, I just really love pennies. Pennies are the BEST.

Deborah Lippmann Spring 2011 Swatches and Review

This year's spring shades from Lippmann are soft and subdued.


Naked. This is a soft, milky neutral beige. You could call it nude, fleshy... Naked, really. It's almost my perfect 'Mannequin Hands' shade, but it's just a touch too tan. It can be worn sheer, but I think it looks best opaque like I'm wearing it here (three coats).

And the star in this spring duo....

Glitter In The Air. What can I even say about this color? I'm totally in love. Yes, I am in love with a sheer polish. It's true. I would have never expected this. Let me describe it. It's a milky, cloudy, gentle baby blue jelly. Very sheer. Sprinkled throughout the blue jelly base are shiny bits of large and small pink and blue glitter. It's not a dense glitter and you won't have full coverage with it, but that's the beauty of it. It reminds me of cotton candy and cupcake sprinkles and magic. It's just so romantic and dreamy looking. I'm wearing three coats and it's really sheer. It looks even better at four thin coats but I didn't get a picture of that. If you prefer a more opaque look (or just hate visible nail line), you can easily layer it over pastel blue or a white creme.

The formula on these was decent. They both start out sheer and can be layered for more coverage. With the texture of the formula on these polishes, it's best to wait a minute or so in between coats so that you don't get that goopiness that some sheer polishes can get when applying. Drying time was a little long, but not horrible.

Naked is nice, but Glitter In The Air is magical. It's a fantasy polish. Sheer polishes, especially sheer glitters, aren't something I usually like, but this one is different. It looks squishy and soft, like candy and marshmallows. And... unicorns!!

õnnistatud

Iga päev saadab mulle märke..
Viimastel nädalatel olen usinalt tegelnud oma karmavõla tasumisega ning ise mõelnud, et äkki varsti saab see asi üheepoole.

Ja just. Eile, kõpakõpa, Rüütli tänavalt Suur-Karja poole liikudes, peatas mind mu teel ebakindlalt kõnelev naine. "Neiu kas leidub natuke raha.." Pöörasin oma tüdinud pilgu ja nägin jässakat pisarais naist, koeraga.

Pikemalt mõtlemata otsisin oma mündid välja ja lugesin emalikud sõnad peale, kindluse mõttes vibutasin sõrme ka: "Vaata, et korale ka süüa ostad ja selle raha eest mitte tilkagi alkoholi!"

"Jumal õnnistagu teid, hea naine!"

Kolm eurot ja kakskümmend kaheksa senti on ju õnnistuse eest tühine summa.

Ma siis nüüd ootan ja olen rahul, et kogu oma paberraha, enne seda seika, panka panin.

Kallimat õnnistust ma endale hetkel lihtsalt lubada ei oleks saanud.

China Glaze Island Escape Collection Summer 2011 Swatches and Review

Another 2011 summer collection! I know, I'm not even done with the spring collections... But these were just so pretty and sparkly looking, I had to try them on... China Glaze Island Escape!


108 Degrees. A glorious glass fleck, the way only China Glaze can do them. The base of the color is a warmer magenta jelly while the glass fleck shimmer is a cooler toned pink and violet duochrome with a little hint of gold. Definitely brings back memories of their old glass fleck polishes... Doesn't this seem like a cousin to the classic China Glaze It's 5 o'clock Somewhere?



Blue Iguana. Another gorgeous glass fleck. This one is a medium/borderline light blue jelly base with a turquoise blue glass fleck and a tiny hint of purple duochrome. The duochrome is really more like a purple reflection- the polish looks blue, but when there's a reflection on the shiny surface, it's purple. Again, reminiscent of those great old China Glaze glass flecks like Drinkin' My Blues Away and Martini Pedicure.


Cha Cha Cha. A bright, glowy, yellow toned apple green and gold duochrome shimmer. Wow... Another flashback! Don't you think this is in the spirit of China Glaze Moonpool? Sure, it's brighter and less olivey, but still has such a similar theme. It's less frosty, so that's good.



Electric Pineapple. A yellow-green creme. I think this is my least favorite of the collection. It's not a bad color, but it looks bland next to all the other shades. It's really similar in color to Zoya Mitzi- it's about a shade lighter and not matte finish, but the shades are similar.



Papaya Punch. I might like this one even more than the glass flecks! It's a medium bright orange creme. It's not a neon and it's not too bright, it still has a little bit of softness to it. It reminds me of the fake cheese powder in boxed macaroni and cheese. I've said the same thing about Color Club Explosive... this is less yellow than that and not as bright.


Senorita Bonita. A red-toned purple with awesome pink shimmer. This was really hard to capture... that pink shimmer doesn't want to show up in pictures! But it's so so so pretty. Might need to enlarge the picture to see it. I think it shows up on my ring finger pretty well in this picture. The shimmer isn't glass fleck like the other colors, it's actually tiny little broken flakes of red-pink foil. Not chunky or glittery at all. Smooth. This color has a lot of depth and even a small amount of gold duochrome on the shimmer flakes. You have to see this one in person.


The formula on these was okay. They're a bit thicker than I expected. They didn't apply as evenly as some of the more recent China Glaze shades, but they weren't particularly troublesome. I might thin mine. Opacity was varied, but good. The cremes and Cha Cha Cha were good in two coats, but I thought the others looked best with three. I'm wearing three coats in all these pictures. No topcoat, either- see how shiny they dry without topcoat? Drying time was good as well.

You know what I like about this collection? It has echoes of past shades. And not random ones, either... Good ones. Ones that we all love and covet. It's like China Glaze is giving a nod to their longtime fans by including memories of some of their best discontinued shades in this collection. There are no direct copies or re-releases, but the similarity is obvious. Love them for that.

Overall, small but strong collection. The colors are WAY better in real life than they were in the promo pictures. The only weak point to me is Electric Pineapple because it doesn't have the same oomph as the rest of the shades. It's just kinda... meh. But the rest get two thumbs up from me, especially Papaya Punch. Love the sparkle and depth of the glass flecks, the flaky shimmer in Senorita Bonita and the brightness of the collection as a whole.

sleepwalking

Käisin eile vanalinnas, ühes tätoveerimis salongis.
Olnud seal juba jupike aega tuli sammud tagasi seada.
Tsau pakaa ja kõik tore..
... ja siis mina kõnnin trepist alla, veel teised silmad silme ees ja tundus korraks veel, et alumine uks on lahti.

AGA see oli vale vastus, jooksin hooga otse klaasi.

Nutt ja naer korraga kurgus koristasin oma väärikuse põrandalt ülesse ja varjasin kibedat valu ja veremaitset suus. Ise veel mõtlesin, et head klaasid ikka tänapäeval.

Selleks päevaks olin ülesse äratatud.
