Beautiful

So I was going to have a big rant about beauty coming from within and not from your foundation, mascara and lipstick.



Then I changed my mind and I will just say a few things:

  1. First of all, you are all beautiful.
  2. Second, if someone said you looked awful without makeup, that's their ugliness coming from within, not yours.
  3. Third, don't get nasty little comments from nasty little people get to you, their minds are a tiny bit shallow.
  4. Fourth, go back to number 1 and read it over and over until it sinks in!


And finally, have a go at answering this:



So, what did you come up with? Are you beautiful? I think you are!! And what are your thoughts on girls judging other girls on beauty, wearing/not wearing makeup and other little things? I, for one, cannot stand it!


Over and out! Love you all, my beautiful readers!

NOTDs - mirenesse Bullet Proof Nail Laquer

Remember how I told you that I've been super busy lately and that life has been absolutely crazy and chaotic and so I couldn't blog all that much?

Well, yes, I've been working a lot, then catching up with friends after work and on weekends and that left me with no "me" time and I thought I was going to go insane! And you know how much I love my "me" time - remember this post?

Needless to say, my sanity suffered and I had no time to do my nails either! Chipped nails is one of those thins that drives me mental on other people, let alone if I were to rock the look! Oh, no! Not gonna happen!

For over a week, I wore mirenesse's Bullet Proof Nail Polish in Flapper Pash - the colour is hot pink and this is as close as I was able to get it with my camera:

After I took of that polish, I wore Charleston me, with a coat of black underneath - looked amazing, btw, but I forgot to take a photo, so here's one without black underneath, just shimmery, silvery purple on its own:



I've never tried mirenesse nailpolishes before, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but I have to admit that I quite liked both polishes!

They are very easy to apply, but different in texture. 

Flapper Pash is creamy and gives that gel look and lasts and lasts on nails. I was worried it was going to chip and be painful, given that this sort of texture and shade usually doesn't last all that long without chipping. 

Charleston Me has that micro-glitter sort of texture and with that one I knew straight away that it wouldn't chip, because it's a bit thinner and liquidy, so it holds onto the nail stronger! I love the colour and I absolutely loved it with black underneath! Must try it with a shade of blue as a base!

Speaking of base, these polishes don't need a base or top coat, which I love, as I'm too lazy to do the whole process, especially because most of the time, I change my nail polish so often that I really don't need it to be long lasting!

Overall, I loved the nail polishes, they didn't chip, colours were fantastic, creamy and pigmented and the polish glided on oh-so-smoothly!

The only thing that I don't like about these nail polishes is that they are a bit expensive - $29.95 a bottle, so they don't come cheap unfortunately and I would have to think really hard before forking out this much for one bottle of nail polish! 

Have you tried mirenesse nail polishes? If no, would you try them? If yes, what did you think?

Happy Mother's Day!!!

Mum. She listens and she doesn't judge. When I can't, she fights for me. Hell, she fights for me even when I can do it on my own. She believes in me when I lose hope and think I can't do it.

She's my best friend, my biggest critic and my biggest fan. All at the same time.

She understands me when I don't even understand myself and what I want and am trying to do.

She's always there for me.

She loves me and I love her back. Unconditionally.


Happy Mother's Day to my beautiful mum and all awesome mums out there too!!!

And thank you - you are all amazing!!!
