FOTD and NOTD: China Glaze He's Going in Circles

Friday, August 20, 2010

First, a super sparkly set of holo nails.

China Glaze's He's Going in Circles was one of my first holo polishes. It has those chunkier holo bits, and is kind of sheer- I had to build up 4 coats to get this opaque, even color. Awesome, no?

Edit: I think this color is looking silvery on a lot of people's monitors. Yes, it is kinda- but it also has a green-blue tinge to it.

Cat (StrawberryMochi) was nice enough to send me some Japanese magazines, which made me absolutely over the moon happy. I have no idea what the text says, but the pictures are great! So today's FOTD was kind inspired by some of the pages in ViVi's August edition. Not much eyeshadow, but a lot of lash definition by means of upper and lower false lashes and extra liner. Also less noticeable blush, more emphasis on super good looking skin and soft pretty lips.

Is it just me or does everyone on this magazine have
lightened hair?

Ok, I may have gone overboard with the eyeliner, but hey- I was preparing for a night out! ^.^

So, since I mentioned magazines- what are your favorite ones for beauty? I no long really read any because I feel like most of the cosmetics are just placed there by PR. I'd much rather read blogs or reviews on MakeupAlley- much more truthful and filled with swatches!
