Mail Goodies!

I got some packages in the mail the other day, and like every other person in the world it made me incredibly happy, so I've decided to make a post and show you all what came in! It's really not terribly exciting, but the fact that it came through the mail makes it exciting to me.

The first of the two packages was this Burberry Body perfume. It was a lot bigger than I thought it would be, especially considering the price I got it for, and it came in a super cute packaging. I'll be doing a review of sorts on this scent soon, so keep your eyes peeled for it!

And the other package contained even more nail polish. Amazon has become my latest addiction, and they have the best deals on OPI and books, so I've gotten a LOT of those in the mail. In particular I wanted a few colors from their autumn San Francisco collection (hometown pride and they're all gorgeous colors!), and then I picked up some colors I had seen in a store and really liked. From left to right they are "First Date At The Golden Gate", "Bastille My Heart", "Incognito In Sausalito", and "Can't Find My Czechbook".

Not a whole lot, but some fun little goodies none the less. Once my other two perfumes come in the mail I might do a perfume collection post. Let me know what you think in the comments!

Amsterdam Haul!

As some of you may know, I went to Amsterdam for a few days last week! It was absolutely beautiful, and I bought a few things while I was there. But while I'm sharing this with you all, I thought I'd include some pictures I took while there.

One of the many gorgeous canals! We went on a night canal cruise and rented a canal bike for an hour, an they were both so fun! If you can only go on one though I would recommend the canal cruise.

The view from our hotel room.

A cheese shop!

We wandered into the flower market the first day we were there and there were drying flowers hanging everywhere! It was so beautiful.

And now, on to the purchases I made.

We popped into a random little beauty store and I picked up a few things. It was so cheap and still nice, so I couldn't resist. I bought this cool mermaid-y gold nail polish, a coral makeup bag, and two lipsticks. 

I finally went to a Monki store! I've ordered a few things online before, but never a t shirt and I've never been to a store! I know it's kind of dorky but I was excited. I am definitely going to be getting some more things from them in the future - most of their things are pretty cheap, and right now their selection is so cute! I grabbed this top because it reminds me of the Topshop Contrast Rib Neck Top from Boutique. (P.S. Please ignore the fact that it is upside down, apparently I am technologically challenged cause I can not for the life of me figure out how to fix it)

And last but not least, I picked up this little souvenir windmill. Because its absolutely adorable and I like picking up little nick nacks like this when I travel places.

Amsterdam was so fun, and I would love to go back and see more of Holland soon! You all should definitely try and get there at some point.

Love,

Caro

OPI Nail Polish Collection

I'm a bit of a nail polish fanatic - I paint my nails all the time (honestly its very strange if my toes don't have some sort of color on then hear round) and I love picking up new unique colors. One of my favorite brands is OPI, because of their multitude of colors and fun names. OPI is constantly producing new colors and limited edition collections, so I can always  find something new from them. 

In total, I have 21 various shades of OPI, and I love pretty much every single one of them (there is one exception, which I will elaborate on later).

The first first five nail polishes in this row are very dark, so they don't pick up well on camera. The far left is called "To the Glitter End!" and is a glittery black polish that is a part of the permanent Sephora by OPI collection. The next is called "Siberian Nights" and its a gorgeous deep purple. After that is "Here Today... Aragon Tomorrow" which is a dark green, and two more from the Sephora collection, "Go My Own Way" and "Absinthe Makes the Heart" which are a shimmery blue and olive green respectively.

Next in line is "What Wizardry is This?", a dark sparkly gold liquid sand polish from the OPI Oz the Great and Powerful collection. It's limited edition and still available, so I recommend buying it because it is gorgeous and will not be here for long. Next is "No Spain No Gain", followed by "Cha-Ching Cherry", "I Have a Herring Problem", "Tiffany Case" (another James Bond liquid sand one) and "Mad as a Hatter", a sold out polish from the Alice in Wonderland collection a few years back (and probably my favorite of the bunch).

Continuing with the names, we have "Do You Lilac It?", "Traffic-Stopper Copper", "Second Honeymoon", "I Theodora You", "Gargantuan Green Grape-Matte", and "Stranger Tides". The only OPI that I regret buying is the "I Theodora You" because it is literally the exact same color as "Second Honeymoon". 

Finally, we have "Stranger Tides" (accidentally put it in two photos, sorry!), "Neutral Beauty", "Only Gold for Me", "Cartwheels on the Catwalk", and last but not least "My Boyfriend Scales Walls".

I recommend any and all of these OPI nail polishes, and even all the ones I don't have. The colors and names are fun, and the quality is good, though to be honest most drugstore nail polishes are almost the same quality, but the OPI polishes have a wider brush that doesn't lose hairs the longer you have it.

Happy nail painting!

Love,

Caro

Makeup Review: Topshop Matte Nails in "Easy Peasy"

A little while ago Topshop came out with a range of matte nail polishes, and I finally picked up a couple shades the other day. I decided to try out "Easy Peasy" first, a nice light shade of gray. It goes on really well, and it has a nice matte finish to it (as one would expect). I've bought other nail polishes from Topshop before, and the quality of this is one is just as nice. I definitely recommend them, whether you want a normal shade or the matte ones (they're one pound more expensive, but that's not too bad).
