Kardashian Kollection my thoughts and opinions

Today whilst at my local shopping centre I popped into Strandbags and for those of you who aren't in Australia its a bag shop. Anyway I was just having a browse until something extremely bright,sparkly and Pink caught my eye. I picked up this clutch looking bag and to my dismay what do I see KK and in case you don't know what KK stands for its Kardashian Kollection. I was surprised I must tell you. I thought they were only going to be selling the line at David Jones.I didn't really see a whole lot from the collection only a bag,clutch and purse and to be completely honest with you it was just "meh" I mean don't get me wrong the colours and diamontes were super cute but nothing to say WOW over. To be brutally honest I kind of thought they were a little tacky and cheap looking. Kind of like something you would see at the markets for 15bux along with 100 other rip off label bags and purses (oh and trust me I'm all for those rip off bags I love my fake Chanels and Louis Vuittons cause I sure as hell wont be able to afford the real thing anytime soon )but like I said these were tacky. I kind of expected a little more from the Kardashians considering how extravagant and drama queenish (ye drama queenish I just made that up) they are. Kind of a let down. But ill let you be the judge here's the clutch and purse I spotted.

I must admit pricing was quite surprising the clutch was around $70ish and the purse $50 not bad I guess but I wouldn't even bother forking out anything for these two particular pieces. Maybe I'm just fussy actually scrub that I'm not fussy I just like spending money on things that are actually worth it and honestly I just don't see it in these two pieces.Ive only seen a few pieces up close and personal ill have to see some more of the collection I guess.  Anyway Ive done enough blah blahing let me know in the comments below whats your thoughts on the Kardashian Kollection and will you be purchasing anything from it?

P.s What's you opinion on the Kim situation was the wedding one big publicity stunt or did she marry for love?

China Glaze Black Mesh And Orly Shine Mani

Hi ladies

I finally got my hands on a China Glaze Crackle polish I've been wanting to try them out for ages so I finally ordered Black Mesh off Ebay. I thought Orly Shine would work perfect with the crackle and I must say I was impressed. This mani totally reminds me of Olivia from Jerseylicious. I'm loving the crackle affect I know most of you are probably so sick of seeing crackles but I really like the look it adds to certain polish colours. Anyway enough chit chat onto some pics.

Please excuse my non existent polish clean up.

LA Girl Color Addict Intoxicate

Hi Ladies this was my first time trying the LA Girl range,I spotted this one at my local $2 shop and for $3.95AUD I thought why not! I'm glad I got it,Intoxicate is a deep eggplant shade with a bunch of gold shimmer through out. This is a very dark shade but I think it actually looks great on white skin its not as harsh as a black. I love the formula on the LA Girl polishes I think there a new fave. Have you tried LA Girl polishes? Any colour recommendation's? These first few pics are with flash.

Orly Happy Go Lucky Limited Edition Collection

Hi Ladies

Orly has released a new collection in Australia for Spring called "Happy Go Lucky" here's a little info taken from the press release

Shift away from demure winter tones and step towards a more bubbly and carefree palette

WITH ORLY PROFESSIONAL NAIL CARE’S NEW LIMITED EDITION COLLECTION,

HAPPY GO LUCKY

These four new spring-fresh tones make it easy to achieve this season’s new trend – rainbow nails. ORLY Australia Creative Director Fiona Hay, says: “Rainbow nails are a new fun way to bring fashion to your fingers, experimenting with a different vibrant colour on each nail. We are also seeing the rise of ‘rebel nails’, which involves painting eight fingers in one shade and the other two in a contrasting bright tone.”

(L-R: Fresh, a luscious green crème; Flirty, a mischievous pink shimmer; Frisky an
aqua crème and Frolic for the divalicious purple crème lovers.)

I was lucky enough to try out Frolic and all I can say is Wow! A lovely purple creme very bright and super easy to apply. Actually this applied like a dream I love Orly's brush and there formula is always perfect. Frolic is really opaque which is a added bonus you could easily get away with one coat if your in a rush. I would have to say this is one of my fave Orly polishes. I'm a huge fan of purples and creme's so the two together are great! Please excuse my not so great pics I'm having a few camera problems.

This product was sent to me for review

China Glaze Second Hand Silk and Im Back!

Why hello there,long time no blog! Sorry I've been gone for sooooo long ladies I've been dealing with some personal issues lately that would just make anyone too depressed to even hear about but Ive learnt that after every storm there is usually a rainbow and that's how its kind of been regarding my life. I went through something that was life changing but ended up having so many blessings after the storm! All I can say is Alhamdulillah (thanks/praise to God).

Ok now for a less dramatic intro I recently went to the nail supply store, unfortunately there really wasn't anything to exciting regarding new China Glaze colours. Australia is so slow when it comes to receiving China glaze collections, the nail supply store's most recent one was the 'Up and Away' collection yes you heard me most recent lol! The best way for us fellow Aussies is to buy online but unfortunately we end up paying double for each polish with the cost of postage grrr. Oh wow I really rave on don't I lol sorry ladies ok now to the polish China Glaze Second Hand Silk yeah I know its old, so old its from a collection from 2008! Old but gold I say, my pictures really don't do this colour justice at all, its more of a baby barbie pink that's a mouthful isn't it. Very girly,pretty and perfect for fair skin tones. As I said my photos really don't do this justice but I thought Id give you a little look anyway than maybe that way you could check out other swatches online and see just how pretty this colour really is.

And I just had to show off my latest ring I added to my collection I'm loving Turquoise jewellery

Hope your all doing great!

Lux Addiction Phone Cover Review

I have something super blingy for you today,actually major bling.Its one of  Lux Addictions custom made iphone covers.Firstly ill start off with the packaging the cover obviously comes in two parts back and front and they were packed in some protective plastic,than packed in a super cute silk bag all secured in a cardboard box with no way of escaping or getting damaged which I found to be fantastic specially when the cover appears to be so fragile.

Now you will notice I just mentioned fragile,you would think just by looking at the cover you would have to treat it as if it were the Queens crown,but actually even though the cover is totally covered in bling its really durable which comes as a suprise to me because most covers that have as much detail as this one usually fall straight off as soon as you throw it in your handbag, but that's wear Lux Addictions QUALITY really comes into play.

I did just about everything I could think of trying to get at least one crystal to fall off that included chucking it in my handbag while I shopped, shoving it in my tracksuit pant pocket as I cleaned around the house, and finally about an hour of App games.Not one crystal fell off, its now been a few months with the cover and still not one has fallen off maybe that was just my luck but honestly the crystals are extremely difficult to come off. Mind you Lux Addiction does throw in some extra crystals just in case one does fall off. I will admit depending on what style of cover you get it may be a little chunky due to major bling but hey personally I love that,oh and just be aware that your phone will be a serious show stopper every time you pull it out in public and not to mention the most sparkliest thing in the room!

Overall I absolutely love my case and my experience with Lux Addiction, fast shipping, excellent customer service and a reasonable price for something thats customed made.
