Royal manicure and weekend buys
How has everyone's weekend been? I hope it's been good!
Tomorrow is a public holiday here in Aus so everyone gets the day off to celebrate the Queen's birthday even though it's not her actual birthday haha. I have to work tomorrow though which kinda sucks but the penalty rates should make up for it! So in honour of Her Majesty, I thought I would do a royal manicure NOTD.
I used Catrice Poison Me, Poison You! which I received in my recent swap here with Anita from KONADomania. So many new polishes to try but so little time! Poison Me, Poison You! is a gorgeous eggplant purple with blue and red shimmer. The rounded bottle took a little getting used to using but was easy to apply after I got the hang of it. Above is 2 coats to achieve full coverage and it dried to a high glossy finish. It's so pretty!!
I then stamped crowns using Bundle Monster plate BMO8 and China Glaze Passion topped with Nailene Acrylic Strong topcoat. Not the best placement wise but it was my first time using the Bundle Monster plates and I had some difficulties. For the rounded crown design, one side just wouldn't pick up so I had to try different ways of scraping. So frustrating!
The boy and I went to the city today and I picked up a few things I've wanted for a while.
I finally got a glass nail file so I can stop using my dodgy old one! I got this at Japan City in Galeries Victoria at 30% off (score!) so it cost less than $10 and is by Rikaro. It's apparently handmade in the Czech Republic and there were a few other designs to choose from.
I saw this kimmidoll handbag holder at Kinokuniya a while ago but never picked it up, and then I went back to get it last week and they didn't stock them anymore! I hate it when that happens!! >.< But fear not, one of the stores at Market City stocks a LOAD of kimmi items and I finally got this cute handbag holder.
Lastly I bought Season 6 of NCIS which just so happens to be one of my ALL TIME favourite shows. Tony, Ziva and McGee rock my world!! =p I normally wouldn't post up DVDs I've purchased but this one is kinda special. Exclusive to JB Hifi, when you purchase season 6 of NCIS you get a NCIS cap! Just like the ones they wear on the show!! =) I'm such a dork LOL.
Have a great start to the week ladies! Thanks for looking!

New domain name and post-test hauls!
Hey guys!
Just wanted to let you know that I have a new domain name given to me as an early birthday present from my thoughtful bf =D You can still access me via the usual blogspot url but it's now much easier! www.cosmeticcupcake.com
I decided to do some celebratory retail therapy at lunch today after a brain draining 4 days at uni. My subject was an "intensive" unit which meant the subject was condensed into 4days instead of spread out over 13weeks and it sure meant intensive - I had 11hrs of classes yesterday! I headed over to Broadway at after my test for some rather well deserved lunch and a bit of shopping.
I picked up a pair of adorable japanese kimmi-ish doll tweezers from a little stand that sold all sorts of adorable stuff like cupcake lipbalms, pjs, coin purses etc. These also came in black, green, blue and pink but the yellow was most striking. I have yet to try them out but even if they're crap at least it's cute!
L - front of tweezers. R - back of tweezers. Please excuse my unmanicured hands =(
I have far too many pairs of earrings but I can't resist cute studs and I just HAD to have these that I found at Diva:
Cupcakes!! Lollipops!! Sweets!! "These are a few of my favourite things...". I 1st began wearing cute/interesting studs when I used to work on the wards as it was the only way to jazz up a boring nursing uniform! Now I work in an outpatient unit I don't need to wear a uniform but because it's still a health environment I think cute studs are the way to go=p
I wanted to mention that Sportsgirl (the one at Broadway anyway) is having a big sale on most makeup items. I saw the bronzers, brushes, pencil and liquid eyeliners, eyeshadows and all night fighter all reduced by about 40%. Get in while it lasts!
As I've mentioned before I love all types of sweets and today I picked up Junior caramels and Junior mints, a steal at $2 from Go-Lo!! I prefer Junior mints but chocolate is chocolate *greedy grin*
Oops I left the price tag on!
I picked up some skincare stuff the other day at Chemist Warehouse which I will do a review for some time soon. I'm a Clinique 3-step girl at heart however due to different reasons (mainly financial) I'm phasing out my 3-step routine and trying some drugstore brands. To start off with I'm running out of Clinique Superdefence and also Super city block and I currently don't feel like paying $90Aus for it! I normally buy my skincare products from Hongkong so it is considerably cheaper however I'm sure drugstore brands will do the exact same job.
From L-R: Nivea Visage Young Be beautiful tinted moisturiser, Neutrogena Ultra Sheer sunscreen and Cetaphil Oily skin cleanser
I picked up Nivea Visage Young Be beautiful tinted moisturiser, Neutrogena Ultra Sheer sunscreen and Cetaphil Oily skin cleanser. Reviews shortly!
Annnnnnnnd my bf also gave me a Kimmi junior pen as a early birthday gift which is just too adorable for words! I actually used to have hair exactly like this when I was 4!
I hope everyone has a great weekend planned!
