So Recently I've Acquired Some Things.... +Layla Gun Metal NOTD/Swatch

SO here's the scoop, as some of you may know I'm going to Vegas next month (wo0t!) and I was planning on hauling a massive amount of Inglot stuff, which I'd LOVE to get. But I just can't justify it, a few months back I cleaned out my makeup drawer, it was a disgusting mess before, and I've kept it in order for the most part, last week I did a tidy up of everything in there, because a few things were out of place and while cleaning up I discovered that I had a bit more stuff then I thought I did.


Before:

Now:

I know it doesn't seem like much more, but I have enough stuff to last me long enough then I'd like to know at this point haha. 

So I'm skipping Inglot, Mac and Sephora, for the most part at least, I'm not planning on getting anything specifically, just because I feel like I have so much stuff as it is, and if I did get a bunch of stuff, it wouldn't be utilized, because it would sit in my drawer all unappreciated. 

I know this post so far has been pretty much pointless so I thought I'd throw in a swatch of Layla Gun Metal, which I picked up on the weekend.

This is one coat of Essie's all in one in one base coat, and two coats of Layla Gun Metal, the first one I let dry without using the magnet and the second one I used the magnet. I didn't think I'd like this polish as much as I do, I may pick it up in a couple more shades. 

Las Vegas Prep + Update

Sorry I haven't been posting at all, I'm not feeling up to it lately and I've been slammed with Dentist appointments, tooth extraction pain, braces pain and all the wonderful things that go along with that stuff lol. All in all I'm quite happy though, pain and all. Because I finally got my braces. All it took was a cleaning, a $1500.00 down payment (mostly thanks to my lovely boyfriend) and in total 7 tooth extractions, that's including 3 of my wisdom teeth. So its been a long, expensive, painful but totally worth it beginning to a 20 month long teeth straightening journey.

Aside from that, Christmas was in the mix and so was New Years. I know I'm a tad late, but I hope all your Holidays were fantastic and I hope everyone has a Happy New Year!

With all the craziness going on, I need a freakin' vacation, well not really, but it would be nice to get away for a couple days. My boyfriend and I are going to Las Vegas in March & we're going to be staying at The Hard Rock Hotel. We talked about going one day and pretty much booked the trip the next.

I was planning on hauling a bunch of stuff, so I began preparing my list (much like the Montreal Inglot Prep) I wanted to go to Mac, So I made a fantastic list. A few days after my list was done, I realized that sure, maybe I'll save $20 or $30 on stuff from Vegas, but not much. So Mac is cancelled, I may pop into the store, but I'm not planning on buying anything, its just not worth it when I can drive 10 minutes to my local Mac store and get the same stuff (when I actually need it) for a couple bucks more.

So, make up wise, I'm going to hit a Sephora (because their Canadian mark up is huge.. Don't get me started on that) and of course, Inglot - Since my Montreal trip there, I'm LOVING their shadows. Because I'm skipping Mac, and therefore saving money by not going there with a massive list, I'm going to splurge at Inglot. I probably going to grab a 10 pan freedom system palette, some gel eyeliners (I NEED [the white one] #76) and maybe a couple blushes. I have a few shadows in mind that I have to look at a.k.a. the rainbow shadows [I feel so psycho] that I already emailed the store and confirmed that they have them at the location we're going to haha.

So until then I promise I'm going to try my best to start posting more often, hopefully at least once a week!
