Shopping finds.

A couple days ago I went shopping! I will share with you my finds!
I've already told you how I have a new fascination for nail polish right? Well... when I start liking something I want more of it so I stocked up on some colors I've been wanting.

I love the matte look. It's true that it doesn't last nearly as long as the other polishes, but the nail polish dries almost instantly as it gets layed on. It's truly amazing.

Urban Decay Eye Shadow Primer Potion
So yes I gave in to the hype of the Urban Decays Primer Potion and got one to try out for myself. I don't gunk on makeup but I do like to wear eyeshadow every once in a while when it's a special occasion or when my spirits need some uplifting. And I hate it how it just sweats off, or the colors turn murky, etc. Well I hear that this is the cure to all of that and more. It's supposed to keep your eye shadow lasting all day long with no creasing, and the color stays more vibrant. Sounds pretty amazing, no?

Cute Japanese loofah
I couldn't pass up this japanese loofah. It's just too cute. I thought it was a pig until I brought it home. Is it a pink rabbit? dog? I don't know, but isn't it cute? It's so cute I don't want to use it.
Remember that you need to throw out your loofahs once every couple months, because it's a great place for bacteria build up. Also you should air it and let it dry, opposed to leaving them inside the shower. And wash them out pretty often. Or opt for a dry rub instead, before stepping into the shower/bath.

Also, I have been stitching on this little piece.
blackwork cross stitch
I really love the way it looks. This photo really does it no justice. I believe it's my first time attempting blackwork and I am loving the results. This lovely pattern can be found in Mary Hickmott's New Stitches Monthly Issue Ten.
