PANDORA BRACELET & CHARMS




...Just wanted to show off my Pandora Bracelet :P



These are the charms I have so far...

Heart Beats [Spacer]

Feeling Groovy

Inner Strength

Happy

Journey

Lotsa Love

I wasn't into Pandora bracelets until about 3 months ago. Now I'm kinda obsessed. I don't really like the Murona Glass charms...most of them look childish with all those swirls and flowers and polka dots. But the sterling silver charms are wonderful. I love how they all have different meanings and such. The prices range from $20 to $60 for the sterling silver ones. They do have sterling silver/gold and gold charms, but those cost alot more. I purchased all my charms from http://www.pancharmbracelets.com/. I've learned that there are lot of fake Pandora charms around. So be careful! I'm not sure I'll add more charms to my bracelet...probably not in a while. I love what I have so far.

Vintage Sister's Holiday Flavors

After watching Pinkiecharm's Review on youtube about Vintage Sister's Lip Lickers and Lip Indulgence, I was extremely curious to try them out. What's unique about them is the packaging, very vintage looking and cute. I believe Vintage Sister's is around for about 7 or so years, so they're not new. I purchased four of their Holiday Flavors recently and I'm totally obsessed with them. They are super moisturizing. They don't feel heavy or waxy...last a long time. But the thing I like the most is how good they smell and taste. And they are only 3.95 each! They don't taste on animals, that's a plus.
There are 2 brands in the lip balm category, Lip Lickers and Lip Indulgence. The difference between the two is that Lip Lickers are geared towards children and are classic flavors where as the Lip Indulgence, geared towards adults and more unique flavors.

These are the ones I have...




All four of them smell exactly like they described. My personal favs are the Christmas Cookie and Hazelnut Latte. They smell just like the real thing. Especially around the Holiday Season or any time of the year...these are great. They don't have any shimmers in them except Christmas Cookie, which has tiny bits of shimmers but on the lips, not very noticeable. Great lip balms, highly recommend!

Today Was A Fairytale

Deborah Lippmann Today Was A Fairytale Nail Polish

This is from the Deborah Lippmann's Holiday collection. It was featured in my Wish List. I purchased it from beauty.com for $20. It has blueish base that's very sheer and silver hexagon shaped glitters as well as tiny silver glitters. I did two coats on my nails. From the pics you can tell they look almost opaque. I also used OPI base coat and Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat /the best top coat ever!/. It's so eye-catching! Super sparkly...these pics don't do the justice. On the clear plastic packaging, it says it contains Virgin Diamond Powders, not sure what that is but sounds pretty cool to me. It's a great nail polish for the Holiday Season. I'm just really amazed...can't get over how sparkly and gorgeous it looks.

CHANEL Cote d'Azur Collection Riva Nail Polish



First of all I did not expect the beautiful chanel box. I almost thought they had sent me a wrong item at first. I've ordered beauty products from the Chanel website before but they never came with boxes.
The name of the nail polish is Riva and it's from their Cote d'Azer Collection. It retails for $27 which is $4 more compared to their other nail polishes. It's a pale sky blue with super fine, iridescent blue shimmer which once it's on your nails you won't be able to see. I did my research on it quite a bit before I purchased it and I knew it's very sheer and that I'll have to do at least 3 coats to achieve nice opaque finish. That's a bummer, I wish it wasn't so damn sheer. But other than that I really like the color and the finish.
