Fixing Broken Eyeshadow

During the summer my sister bought me the Stila It Girl Palette and I was overjoyed! But then after I used it the first time I accidentally dropped it and all the eyeshadows were fine except for Kitten! So I fixed it not along ago. For those who don't know, you can fix broken powder products with rubbing alchol. Since this was my first time it was super messy! I did end up getting the loose shadow everwhere but I had a sample jar from Sephora and I kept the loose shadow in there.

This is how it looked like. You can see the loose shadow everywhere and how crushed up the shadow looks. I too off the loose shadow and put it in

the Sephora container like I said before and left it for a bit so that most of the alcohol would evaporate. Then I put a tissue with a jar on it so that it will be flatter when it is completely dry.

Now this is how it looks with the loose shadow in the container.

Yay! Now it's fixed! It doesn't look perfect but better than nothing! The shadows in this palette are buttery smooth but they are packed kinda loosely so I guess I have to be more careful in the future with them. It looks slightly darker as a loose shadow in the container but nonetheless when used it's the same =)

I seem to have the worst luck because the next day low and behold. I dropped my Benefit Cream Eyeshadow in RSVP! I was so upset because that's my favourite eyeshadow base. I was scared I didn't have a container for it and that it would dry up. I don't mind going out to get the full sized version because it's on 22 bucks and I love it so much. This was from the Benefit To Go set I think, but I think I'm going to grab the full sized when I have time. Or maybe get one in a different colour. This is how the jar looked like when it smashed. Sorry for the lighting, don't know what happened. I had already taken out the cream eyeshadow by this time.

I had a jar from my Korres lip butter so I put it all in their. Hopefully it won't dry up too quickly. It looks like this now.

It was a bit messy but nonetheless I still have my cream shadow! Hopefully I'll have time to go pick up a full size since school is seriously killing me now!

Ok this was a pretty long post. I hope I don't break anything anymore. Oh well, toodles.

First haul in a while

Well not really? I've been on a no buy, I've decided to save my money until I get another job, just because I don't have that much x.x I spend way to much on make up. Anyway I stopped by Shoppers Drug Mart and I wanted to pick up a dry shampoo since my was almost done and I can't live without that stuff anymore! But they didn't have any! I looked all over the place so in the end I found the Tresemme Foam Shampoo and that requires no water! I was seriously intrigued! It's was on sale for 5 bucks too so I thought why not. I haven't tried it yet, but when I do I hope it's good because it's a pretty big bottle and I don't want all of it to go to waste.

I also happened to find the Stila Travel Palettes when I went to check out! They're $13 CDN or $10US but nonetheless still a great deal. They come with 4 eyeshadows and a Stila Convertible Colour, which I love. I only have one in Orchid but I'm hoping to expand my collection because they are awesome! I will provide swatches later with another Stila palette I have since it's night and they don't show up so well on camera right now. Really need to find my Nikon Coolpix but I can't find it anywhere.

Good night~

Sally Hansen Ultra Smoothing Growth Treatment

Sorry, long time no post, got a bit lazy since I was working and school started. I recently bought this nail treatment from Sally Hansen. I bite my nails a lot and they're always very short. Lately I've stopped biting them and I've been trying to grow them back so I bought this nail growth treatment to try to grow them longer. I've just started using this yesterday, so maybe in another week I'll show the before and after pictures. The packaging says I can expect results in 5 days so I'm going to wait a week to see what happens.

Tiny itty bitty haul

I think you can tell that I don't like saving my money from these hauls and I love buying stuff on impulse.

If you were to see my hair, it's really damaged and fizzy. I saw the Tsubaki hair treatment in the store the Amore/Art City in Market Village, Markham today and I just decided to buy it. I haven't tried that many just because I get lazy. I'm going to try this out and then write a review about my results. Which means I should take a picture of my hair now to show before and after results. It was $9 which isn't as bad as I thought it would be, so far it smells pretty good but I haven't tried it yet.

The Gatsby is the purple one (duh!) which is pretty popular for guys and girls to style their hair. I already have the green one an it didn't do too much for me so I decided I would try the purple one. I got the smaller version so in case I didn't like it, the pot wouldn't be sitting there rotting. It cost about $5 at the same store which is kind of expensive but other stores have it for more so I guess it wasn't so bad.

Okay, that's it for this post. I'll definitely try to get a review up, I already have the pictures but I'm a bit lazy to write the review.
