Update...What I've been up to lately

Sorry I've been MIA, I've seemed to have extended the long weekend...

Here's what I've been up to...

Late night reading and stuffing my face with this recently discovered goodness...

Debating on Christian Louboutin's new nail polish...( I wish there was a nail salon offering mani's/pedi's here using it. Try before you buy :P)

Photo Credit (thanks BX!) swatches

We're moving again so time to purge the closet and downsize...new helpful tips here...

And did you see the new collab with Roland Mouret for Banana Republic? Sadly most of the pieces I liked have now sold out...

Buy here...

Celebrating an Anni this weekend, will update next week!

Nail Polish Collection...

After decluttering here's what I ended up keeping...

What I consider to by my Holy Grails...will continue to repurchase (except the Chanel May)

Opi Big Apple Red (I use this for hands and feet)

Essie Limited Addiction (I use this for hands and feet)

Essie Mademoiselle (I use this for hands only)

Essie Cute as a Button (I use this for feet only)

I'm drawn to pinks for the cheerfulness and prefer reds when I want to feel sexy and sassy. My go to colors are Essie Cute as a button and Essie Limited Addiction.
I love a baby pink for everyday, but have yet to find the Holy Grail. Opaque but still light enough to not look milky.

Spa Ritual Cuticle Quench

Spa Ritual Nutri-Thick Calcium Nail Builder (old label)

Spa Ritual Fluent Lacquer Remover (old label)

Spa Ritual Lacquer Lock Basecoat (found this recently at Winners)

Product Highlight: Spa Ritual
Had the opportunity to use this line during school and love the philosophy behind the line. Color range is huge and each has a meaning.

From their site;
"Our nail lacquers and nail care essentials are vegan and formulated without DBP, toluene, formaldehyde and formaldehyde resin."

Readers, have you tried Spa Ritual products? Any favourites? Also if you have any favourite Holy Grail pink/nude polish you can't live without please share!

Update...Makeup Decluttering

From my last post, I managed to go through all my makeup and weed out keeps vs throw away or gift...

Here's a reminder of the chaos...

Gifts, back to mac and garbage is already tossed...

Keeping for polish: What I consider to by my Holy Grails...will continue to repurchase (except the Chanel May)

Opi Big Apple Red (I use this for hands and feet)

Essie Limited Addiction (I use this for hands and feet)

Essie Mademoiselle (I use this for hands only)

Essie Cute as a Button (I use this for feet only)

As you know from my last post I mentioned I wanted to tackle the feat of decluttering my makeup, and I think I did an excellent job considering I'm a hoarder :D

First step was getting rid, and next will be organizing what I kept. I'm hoping to get that done the following week and will post an updated pic...

Thanks for tuning in and have a great weekend! Also if you're inspired and plan to declutter, please share pics!
