RiRi Loves M.A.C. Holiday

Hello everyone, hope you're all doing okay. First of all I want to apologize for not being active these past weeks. I had a lot of exams for which I had to learn a lot (think entire book within two days or so) as I fell behind. Even though I had a lot of ideas and posts I wanted to share with you, school had to be my priority. So I hope you all forgive me for that. As I'm typing this I also suffer from the flu, but I just couldn't wait to show you guys what I got from the RiRi loves M.A.C. Holiday collection.

I didn't feel all that well when my alarm went off yesterday, but knew that if I didn't went to the store as soon as it opened I wouldn't have any chance to get my hands on these babies. At 10am I wasn't expecting a line, but unfortunately there was one. Everyone seemed to want the lipsticks, which is why the store only allowed you to buy one of each color. I let one of the salesmen swatch the pink lipstick as I was doubting if I should also get that one besides the other two when I heard another salesman say that the infamous Riri Woo was already sold out. 

*insert cry face*

I immediately ran out of that store (remember that I had the flu and was feverish) onto the next one, which luckily had a shorter line. I immediately asked how many they had left of each color or else I would have ran to the last store in Amsterdam that carried them. Luckily for me that wasn't necessary.

*insert happy dance*

I was able to get my hands on all three colors (the last Riri Woo and the second last of Pleasure Bomb). It was kinda sad though when others arrived asking if the store still carried some as it turned out that all stores' lipsticks basically sold out within 7 minutes after opening the store. 

Enough chit chat, let's look at the goodies

Isn't the packaging just gorgeous?

Plain lips 

Bad Girl RiRi

The nude color of the bunch, a very wearable lipstick for all skin tones in my opinion. It's this soft rose cream that just looks flattering and I will probably wear this one everyday. 

Pleasure Bomb

This hot fuchsia lipstick will grab everyone's attention for sure. I like this one although I have never worn a bold lip and I will have to get used to this one. Paired with a calm eye look and due to the matte finish, this can work in daytime as well.

RiRi Woo

A true classic red that suits every skin color. I finally understand why this was sold out super fast every time it came out. For those that missed out I have asked the saleswomen to swatch this besides their regular Ruby Woo and there is barely a difference to them. RiRi Woo is just a bit darker, richer of color but really though I bet no one could tell if you wore one or the other until you compare them side to side.

I really do not regret my purchase even though I had to go outside with my flu and feverish head. I would have never been able to get my hands on them if I didn't unless of course for the ridiculous prices on Ebay. 

Have you purchased anything from the RiRi Loves M.A.C. Holiday collection?

CLAIRE'S GLITTER SAND NAIL POLISH - NUDE

Hello everyone. How have you been? I’ve been so busy trying to arrange things for Mexico. I’ve had some vaccinations already and felt really tired the entire week and combined with some muscle aches is not helping at all. Muscle aches you ask… yep I’ve finally started training again and it’s one of the worst feelings ever, realizing that you’ve basically lost all of your muscle power. But I will regain it again one day and till then I will focus on other things. I’m thinking about just also posting about my day to day rambling as I feel like they just don’t fit into other posts such as in this one lol. Anywho...Let’s have a look at my manicure shall we..

Sooo anyway this is the color I’ve been wearing for the past three days, it’s from the company Claire’s and as the polish bottle shows that it’s one of their glitter sand polishes. I really like these kind of textured polishes and this is no exception. If you can remember I bought this a while ago on sale with some other beauties, one of which was a seafoam-green sand polish from the same brand.

This polish is so beautiful, looks like it actually sparkles in the light probably because of the silver glitter that’s mixed in. The color is a light nudish (don’t even know if this word exists..haha) pink. It’s the most wearable shade of the three Claire’s sand polishes I currently have. I even got this for my friend who actually didn’t like textured polishes, however she loved the effect of the seafoam green one and I therefore picked up this one for her as she’s more into those natural colors. 

For this manicure I’ve used three coats although two would’ve been sufficient. I just didn’t like the way it looked on my index finger as that one really needed an acrylic refill. That nail actually bend in the wrong direction today so I had to refill them asap today.

For some reason Claire’s doesn’t name their polishes which kinda sucks as I like being able to quickly find brands and colors online. Oh well guess we’ll just have to deal with it and use peoples swatches to find the correct colors.

Have you purchased any textured polishes yet? Do you think I should also ramble about day to day life, even picture-less posts? Let me know by leaving a comment below.

Holo Summer Week: FYI

Yay I'll be flying to Marmaris, Turkey in a few hours and as I won't have time to post later on I decided to upload this post now. Continuing on with Holo Summer Week, I'm presenting you with another gorgeous polish from the China Glaze OMG collection, named FYI. I will actually bring this one with me on vacation this time. 

FYI is a nude beige holographic nail polish perfect for people who love the holo effect, but prefer a nude manicure or can't wear bold colors at for example the office. 

FYI was opaque in two coats and was, as all polishes from the OMG collection, quick drying which is even more great since you don't have to wait forever until it dries. I was kinda lazy with thoroughly removing my base coat and it clearly showed so I'm sorry...lesson learned.

At first I didn't really liked this color and almost regretted getting it as I didn't wear it at all, but photographing it for the blog made me realize that it's actually quite nice. I really like it in direct sunlight, but still think it's a bit boring for me in the shade.

What do you think? Is this the perfect nude color with a twist?
