GOSH - Prima Donna

Hey lovelies,

Finally, some time for blogging. :-) I'm gonna post the hell out of you. *g* Let's start with a tiny GOSH haul. A new limited edition nail polish and it's one pretty fella:

As you can see from the title, it's called "Prima Donna".

It has a really lovely golden shimmer, which isn't quite visible in this photo sorry about that.

I have a soft spot for orange polishes, really like it. :-)

Love,

Guinevere

My Eyeshadow Collection

I wasn't sure whether or not I should post this.. I hope you know this is not about bragging and well, in the end I thought, I would want to see it. I'm collecting make up since 2005. I didn't start yesterday, keep that in mind.

The back-story: Don't laugh but the bigger my make up collection gets, the more I worry when I leave. My collection is huge, there's no way around it and by now worth quite a lot.. I started to think about getting my make up insured. Just the way my boyfriend thinks about insuring his whiskeys.

A couple of days ago I asked my adviser and she told me that, usually, everything that's in your flat is included in the household insurance.

The tricky part is:

How much did you own?

How much was it worth?

I'm sure in case of a fire it's difficult to convince an assessor how much those products did cost. I own a lot of limited edition products. She recommended to take pictures from every item I own and write down its name. Quite a project..

I started with my eyeshadows (MAC, Sleek, NYX, Urban Decay, pressed MAC pigments, Paris Berlin,..). Those are all of them except my Essence shadows.

I haven't got all my palettes yet, I ordered some empty Mehron palettes, but am still waiting for them to arrive.

Here we go:

Nude:



Yellow:

Orange:

Red:

Rose - Pink:

Purple (I reogranised some purples to pinks (Sleek), see above):

Blue:

I forgot two *gg*

Green:

Brown, Bronze:

Silver, Gold, Black:

Ben Nye palette:

Miscellaneous:

So if you want to be prepared for the worst case, document your make up. :-)

Hope you enjoyed that post.

Love,

Guinevere

MAC Eyeshadow Swatching Project

A lovely reader asked me if I could show my MAC eyeshadows, swatches of them to be exact, and I thought why not. :-) The thing is that this is quite a project *gg* cause I have a ton of MAC eyeshadows. I have a few other shadows, which I depotted in those palettes, so don't wonder, but I'll label them, so there will be no confusion.

I'll start with my Highlighter Palette:

From left to right:

Gesso, Vellum, Vanilla, Blanc Type, Next To Nothing, a MNY colour

Awash, Bold As Gold, Shroom, Hey, Yogurt, All Races, UD Midnight Cowboy

 

Hope you liked it, of course it's difficult to capture neutrals, but I think I got them right. The pics are clickable and I'm gonna continue these posts until I've shown you all my MAC colours. :-)

Next will be, surprise surprise, yellow! *gg*

Love,
Guinevere
