Gel Nail Inspiration

I really want gel nails (and eyelash lengthenings), I want to pamper myself.

Manly Eyeshadow Review part 3/4

Now we're going through the top three of the lower section - so the two blues and the one green line





I was impressed enough by the two top lines, since the colours are relatively easy to separate from each other and they go on really well. They also keep very well and stick to the skin which would suggest that they don't fade to easily.

The bottom green line however was a disappointment in sorts, the first colours are clearly not visible, which is a shame because they are beautiful yellowy green on the palette and would be great in use - if they'd show properly.

Manly Eyeshadow Review part 2/4

Here is the second part of my review of the Meidu Cosmetics Manly 120 colour eyeshadow and blush palette.





The three lines in the top middle are now in question. The neutrals are actually quite impressive, since all the different shades of brown really are different shades, different colours, unlike the violet line, which seems to consist mostly of the same colour, and some of the colours end up a lot darker on skin than they are on the palette and vice versa, which does not impress me much. I think the colour on the palette should at least consistently be bad in the same manner, instead of differing all the time.
The pink and red colours are impressive though, they are very pigmented and don't really want to come of the skin without cleanser!

Manly Eyeshadow Review part 1/4

I bought this 120 colour palette a few years back, but I've used it very little. I haven't even tried half of the colours, so I decided I'd review it now, so I manage to actually try out all the colours and know what they look like on skin.

In this first part I'm reviewing the three first rows from top. The first row was a bit of a disappointment since only the white and the black where unique, the rest were just very easily fading uncolours if you will, and didn't show very well.
The two other rows on the other hand were really quite impressive, the colours really pop and I don't even have any eyeshadow base in use!



The dark blue ones at the end were slightly disappointing, I mean - they're not dark at all!

Though relatively similar, this row was impressive, very eyecatching colours!

Today's thoughts, some shopping and some hospital stuff

Sorry for being so quiet today, I just didn't have the time to write anything thus far. I spent the entire morning in hospital for an ultrasound of my throat and jawline, because of the pains I've had there, and it turns out that on the side that it hurts my lymph node is over 1 cm big! That's bleeding enormous! And no wonder it hurts.
And I got to talk to the pain doctor and psychiatrist and everything's in order as far as that's concerned, I'm allowed to take more of the painkillers I have (Neurontin) and I get to take my normal double dose of the 10 mg Cipralex anti-depressants. So all fun and games in possible lymphoma land!

Then I went to do some Christmas shopping, bought prezzies for my family (dad and gran) but other than that all it was was a huge amount of "Oh my Goood, could you PLEASE move out of my way" and "Oh please Lord just let the Apocalypse start" while waiting in queues and standing around and I was dead tired after getting back from Helsinki, but we still had to go to two stores and R-Kioski, so I had no chance of going to sleep, plus I drove us home, since dad had difficulty driving, so that was horrible.

Thankfully what awaited me today in the mail was a packet from MakeUpStore and YvesRocher:








Oh and our Bernese puppy (1,5 years) ate my favourite beanie. Here a few pictures of a freezing me with it on:
