OPI Haul & Review; Ridge Filler, Nail Envy, Drip Dry, Thanks a Windmillion, Mermaid Tears

My latest online purchase arrived in the mail today !
Perfect excuse to ditch the books and procrastinate. (':

I bought OPI's Ridge Filler, Nail Envy, Drip Dry and two colours; Thanks a Windmillion and Mermaid Tears.
Kinda a stupid choice given they are almost the exact same colour, a darkish minty greeny colour, ahhahah... except that TAW is a bit more grey.

LOVE LOVE LOVE, Ridge Filler, Nail Envy and Drip Dry !!
I was never really a nails person because I would always, always, either have crazy ridges and imperfections on my nails, have peeling, or touch them while they were drying - always.
So once these arrived, I tried it out straightaway. and, I am so pleased with the results !!
Ridge filler made my nails so smooth, no ridges or bumps,
Nail Envy, although I have yet to see the long term effects, is a really good base and top,

And Drip Dry, omg, is my saviour. It helped dry my nails so quick that I didn't have time to forget that I had wet nails and touch something.

Now to the colours, didn't like them as much as I thought I would, which is unfortunate given that they are so similar.

Mermaid's Tears came out last year I think as a part of the POTC Collection, and Thanks a Windmillion this year as a part of the Holland Collection. Both are a minty-ish, green / blue colour, with Thanks a Windmillion being a little more grey.
When I used it, I was a little disappointed since I thought that they would be a little more of a pastel mint. So,... I mixed white in. (On a little palette, not the whole bottle !) (:  I like the colour a whole lot more, but the consistency not so much, its much more thicker, and less smooth and slightly streaky mixed and does not go on as nicely. So, I won't show a picture, cause it would kinda contradict what I said earlier about my nails being super nice, cause after I mixed in white, they aren't as nice... ):

Thanks a Windmillion- Left
Mermaid's Tears- Right

Andddd yea, I guess if you have unhealthy nails like me, grab yourself Nail Envy and Ridge Filler ! Or if you have a tendency to forget that your nails are wet, - Drip Dry is the answer !
And OPI still remains the leaders of awesome nail polishes (and nail polish names.)

beauty&skincare haul !

Well, I'm pretty sure everyone I know knows that I've been on a crazy online shopping phase for the past 3 and a half months, I have bought over seven hundred dollars worth of items.. yea, I think I went just a bit overboard..
Anyway, 
I received my items from Colourmix today and also from BeautyHolic Korea on eBay.

My Packages !!

Both were packaged really nicely, you should see how much bubble wrap I have now. I think it's enough to keep me occupied for the rest of my life.

Now, Colourmix were pretty slow at first.. they were processing my shipment for almost a month and no matter how hard I tried to contact them, I couldn't, I emailed about 4 times, Facebook messaged 3, Called 3 times, until they finally replied to my emails. It's not all bad however, they day after I sent my order in I realised while looking at the invoice that I entered the wrong state... Instead of NSW, it was entered as the ACT (I blame their server that kept making me fill the form out repetedly), I contacted them and they were kind enough to change the state for me (I think it says that they would charge a fee for any changes made,) and they gave me free express shipping SO YAY.

Lyn / Eunjung / Kyprus at BeautyHolic-Kr however, was great all they way through, definitely check out her shop if you're a fan of korean beauty products, I got Lioele two eyeshadows, liquid eyeliner, eyebrow pencil and mascara, plus a foot mask and lots of samples for only $30 ! Will definetely buy from her again (in fact I already did...) She is so kind and very patient and even tried to find me a product I wanted that wasn't listed in her store.   GO THERE ! ♥

I'll probably do a separate review on the products later, BUT YAY, WHITE TREE SNOW, I've really anticipated using this skin care line from The Face Shop !

instax mini 7s. ♥

my baby has arrived.
ordered it almost three weeks ago, and I was counting down the days til it would sit on my doorstep.
so I was so happy when I saw it today. (':
(slaving away at home on a day of a strike trying and failing to write an english essay. ugh.)





The Hello Kitty Limited Edition Hello Kitty Instax Mini 7s !

I bought it for $99 on an eBay store along with a Hello Kitty multi lense (just so it matched) for about $18 and Miffy Beauty Polaroid pens, $10 - for writing and drawing on the pictures.

 The camera with the included strap !

 & the multi lens
I had a nightmare getting these on,
Since the lens body thing come two lenses - a multi one and a close up one, you can switch them, and the instructions were in korean so I was so worried that I would break it, as the picture showed pushing on the lens so that it would pop out.
^does not make sense.




I promise you, I'm not this Asian normally. I swear.
I just didn't feel like getting a plain white one. Besides I can always remove the strap if it gets too 'Hello Kitty', not use the lens and, I don't know, scratch off the markings ? (:
Besides,.. I honestly don't even like Hello Kitty that much.. heheh.

Don't know if you can see, but the
powder forms two cupid shapes.
NEVER WANT TO USE IT.

       

Anyway ! I also recieved presents today. Day gets better and better. (':
My mum's friend randomly dropped by to give me these Japanese cosmetics. SO PRETTY .
I love the Japanese. hehehe.
