Tag: Stylish Blogger Award

The lovely Natascha of Beautytas tagged me with the Stylish Blogger Award, thanks sweetie! :)
The rules are as follows:
Thank and link the person who gave it to you, jot down 7 random facts about you, give the award to 15 other lucky bloggers and let them know about it.

The 7 random facts thing is going to be hard, lol, but I'll give it my best try:

1) I can't wait for the new HBO show Game of Thrones to air, and I'm reading all the books atm.
2) I have horribly soft nails, and nail hardeners never work for me. It sucks :(
3) I want a bracelet-tattoo around my wrist.
4) My and my boyfriend's birthdays are exactly one week apart, but he is two years older though.
5) My living room resembles this blog, colour-wise, it's black, white and red.
6) I take about 4000 photos a year.
7) I love wigs, and my boyfriend ordered a bright red one on Ebay yesterday. Can't wait for it to arrive!

Now, as for the tagging of 15 other bloggers, I'm going to cheat a bit :) Lots of people will probably already have received this award, so I'm going to tag everyone who hasn't yet!
Looking forward to reading your random facts :)

NOTD - Stargazer 307

As promised, a more beauty-oriented post today!
I guess most of you probably will have seen this polish on other blogs by now, but hey, I love it, and it is my blog after all, haha ;)

For today's NOTD I chose Stargazer's Ultra Cover 307, which is, according to others, a dupe for Orly's Space Cadet. I don't own the Orly polish myself, but I have seen comparison photo's and they really look the same.

The pink really shows in this shot

And the green shows better in this shot

I've found this polish rather hard to photograph, to be honest, and it has to be seen in real life to really get the appreciation it deserves.

This is three coats, with CG's Fast Forward topcoat on top.

I bought this at BeautyFocus, for €3,99, and I kinda went a bit nuts with buying polishes from the Ultra Cover range, so I have quite a few more to show you in the future xD

Isn't he gorgeous?

Just a tiny little post, with just this pic I'd like to share with you guys, of my beautiful albino boa.
Isn't he gorgeous?

I know I haven't been posting lately, I've been very busy. I promise a more beauty-oriented post later this week though! :)

15 Random Facts Tag!

I received this tag from the lovely CookingChinchillas, and I really like it, so here are the rules:
Mention 15 facts and tag 5 other bloggers. Sounds simple enough, so here goes:

1) While I love snakes, I'm absolutely terrified of spiders.
2) I'm a nerd, and quite proud of it to be honest.
3) I spend my entire day today with watching a show that's as old as I am (both made in 1984 ^^)
4) I have watched all three Lord of the Rings movies about 15 times without cast commentary, and about 5 times with.
5) While red is my favourite colour, I love green nailpolish most.
6) My cats are named after famous Romans; Julius Ceasar and Marcus Brutus.
7) One of my snakes, a Bloodred Corn Snake, is named Mary for obvious reasons (to me, atleast ^^)
8) I think corsets and hoop skirts are sexy clothes.
9) I have created an army of female Bloodelf characters in World of Warcraft.

12) Sometimes I secretly listen to pop music.
13) My camera is my precious.
14) My Christmas tree has black decorations in it.

As the title already says, I want to wish you all a very merry Christmas! Enjoy the company of your loved ones, the food, and the presents ofcourse! :)

Photo post 2

Today I wanted to quickly share this photo I took a few weeks ago, here in Holland, at the Waterleidingsduinen.

I personally really liked the spooky effect the combination of the trees, cloud and the sun gave to this shot, and have named it Eerie Days.
What do you guys think of it?

Lush

Most of you probably will have already read about a thousand articles about Lush, and, well, this is another one I guess ;)
Difference is I haven't written anything about their products before, because these were the first products I've ever bought at Lush. I was in The Hague last month, and because my phone died there (yes, the glass-breaking incident) I decided I needed to visit Lush to get myself a nice smelling present.
I bought these two lovelies:

Whoosh Shower Jelly and Up You Gets Emotibomb.

I absolutely love, love, love the shower jelly. It smells delicious, and to be honest, I think I might buy three more pots of it next time I visit Lush, just to have some spare ones, haha!

I wasn't too excited about the emotibomb though. It smelled great, but was gone too fast for me to really enjoy it. Maybe that's because we have a huge showerdrain, with a matching huge showerhead, so the amount of water that came crashing down on the poor little bomb was rather huge as well. Who knows :)

I did visit the store again yesterday, but forgot to buy the extra Whoosh, so that gives me an excuse to go to The Hague again soon ;) I did buy a solid shampoo bar, and Lemony Flutter yesterday. 

Finally, a small update about the promised brushroll giveaway: it will come, I've already bought some pretty lace and tiny satin roses to put on the brushroll, but haven't had time to create the roll itself. I've been too busy with my starting business, sorry! I will still make it though, so keep checking back :)
