Misa - Grey Matters

Hey people! How are you doing? I'm tired but good. :) I just discovered Blogger changed the commenting system so I can reply directly to your comment. That's SO awesome, I wanted to change the system solely because of that and now they did it. Yay!

But let's look at the awesome, awesome polish Misa gave us in their latest collection. I remember someone looking forward to my pictures of it in Phazers on Stunning post and I still haven't posted it until today. *sigh* The beauty that is Grey Matters:

I freakishly love this. Grey with black specks. AWESOME! I think Scrangie's description is spot on - it looks like bird eggs and it's really cute because of that. It's a part of Misa Surreal Escape Collection for Winter 2011. I had no troubles with application, two easy coats. It lasted for a very long time with minor tip wear too! Awesomely gorgeous colour. I love Misa. 

Did you get any colours from this collection?

Orly pretty pair Fowl Play and Nite Owl

Heya people! Whoa. You have no idea how many pictures I have prepared for you and are just piling on the computer, because I don't have the time to post them. Sucks! I had an exam today, I hope it went well. Came home, changed my mani and now I'm half way through the door already to my dance practise. No rest for the wicked.

I remembered I haven't shown you the two Orlys I got a while ago yesterday, as I was admiring my Nite Owl mani. Nite Owl is one of the varnishes I actually wear ... you know, more than once. There is something so nice and clean and subtle on it. Fowl Play on the other hand is the big bird showing off of this collection. Look at me, all beautiful and gorgeous and FLAKIED. Yeah. So imagine my surprise when I put it on and wasn't over the moon about it. Don't get me wrong, it's a stunning colour, but it didn't rock my world as much as I thought it will. Nite Owl is the quiet winner of this collection in my humble opinion. 

The most gorgeous part of Fowl Play is the blue glitter. I love that SO much on this polish! It's not nearly as visible on the pictures as it is on the nail. What I don't like is the tricky application, my nails look thick, I really dislike that effect. Still ... eh, you know, it's a totally gorgeous colour, one can't help but think that. I just didn't see fireworks wearing it. Three coats.

My little beauty. Nite Owl. BTW, how can a nail polish not be awesome, if it's named after owls?! I love it. I totally didn't think I will love it so much, but I do. It looks so much better on nails than in the bottle, and there is nothing wrong with how it looks in the bottle either! Three coats, after the second I still had bold spots. Perfect formula though!

BTW ... wouldn't this pic be PERFECT for Orly's display on this collection? I'd probably buy the entire collection if I saw this as the official promo picture. :D

xD It's probably an old joke with this collection, I'm just months behind, like usually, so if i'm the only one chuckling, it's understandable. ;) 

These two are a part of Orly Birds of a Feather Collection for Fall 2011. A rather strong collection, IMO, with two more neat colours, but as I have similar blue foil and jade green creme, I passed on the other two. Fowl Play and Nite Owl are totally worth buying though!

Paket Petek

I could hardly wait for this Paket Petek, I wanted to show you this package right away when I got it! After I got back home from our NY party and went online, to check out the blogsphere, I was happy to see Maestra, my make up guru, did another post on brushes, that are rapidly becoming my obsession. Little have I known that the big surprise in the end of the post included giving away the amazing set, and that the little ol' me is getting it. I just sat on the chair, staring at the monitor for a moment without even blinking. I wanted a good set of brushes for so long - even had it on my WL I posted a while ago. And now all of the sudden I have it. 

Another thing I wish to point out - these were sent to me directly from the online store that sells them in Slovenia, licila.si. This was a gift, they were sending it for free, I didn't pay for it. And still I got them the very next day that Maestra gave them my address. I already have great experience with licila.si from before, but I was really impressed by their speed and care in this case, since sometimes I read about some brands and stores that really take their time with sending free items. Great job and thank you, licila.si!

I want to thank Parokeets for this amazing, amazing package. There are no words for how happy I am about receiving the set. Thank you, so so much! I put my make up on yesterday with them, as I was getting out for a lunch and they are SO amazing to work with! I could already see the difference in my eye make up, being much more precise. I'm talking from a rather big brush-rookie aspect, so I can only tell you how it felt applying make up with them, nothing about the shape, the right firmness of them etc. And they felt awesome. 

Pictures!

And the little ones again, that I'm most excited about. :)

For the awesome review and better pictures visit Maestra's post on them, in there you can also see my latest favourite eye look by her she did with them. <3 

Thank you again, darlings, you're the best! *hug*

And you, my dear reader, brush & eyeshadow fan or not so much? :) What lovely packages did you receive this week or for NYs?

Road trip moments: a little bit of Czech Rep., tea and Call to Arms

Heya people! It's still all about travelling! I was planning to write one more post on my road trip in November and here it finally is.

First an awesome coffee, I forgot to show you in Žilina post! Yum, coffee, it was so good!

The candy was good too. But coffee was better.

So in my last entry we left Žilina, Strečno Castle and Slovakia and went to visit their neighbours, Czech Republic. Ah, Češka ... I love that country. This time we stayed only a little bit and planned only to spoil ourselves in the wonderful spa of Savannah hotel. O-M-G! Savannah is an amazing hotel. They spoil you SO much, the rooms are amazing, the staff is amazing, the food is amazing, everything is so good! It's the hotel I'd gladly pay full price for, even if we didn't have the certificate. I totally recommend it, you won't be sorry. It's basically on the border with Austria, you get the feeling it's made just for Austrians, to go spoil themselves abroad. Next to it is a giant complex of stores of basically everything, from food to jewellery. We went only to one, there were just too many of them and we didn't want to lose time there. But Savannah is amazing for relaxation, really. We spend the day like kings, by luck we had the pool for ourselves, and very few people were at sauna, and the day ended with the most amazing dinner. After few days of hectic travelling that felt really good. 

The washbowl in the bathroom. Doesn't it look awesome? Marble mani in these colours would be neat. ;)

We visited Znojmo the next day, for a short while, we didn't have much time anymore. We went to Albert, one of the bigger stores there, for Czech beer and Krivoklatska mead, because they simply rock. And something else. Tea!! Loads of tea! For some odd reason we don't have the choice of tea they have in Slovakia or Czech republic. It sucks, because I LOVE tea and so I piled it throughout entire travelling. This is what I brought home. 

Tea!! They're really good too!

And so we went to Austria, Vienna, where *the* concert of this travel occurred, Saxon on a tour with Anvil, I couldn't wait to see them! Although at first I wanted to go for Anvil, after a few weeks I couldn't wait for Saxon too, their music is fantastic, not to mention their energy on stage is simply ... beyond awesome. Really, to this day only Primordial could mesmerise me so much as Saxon did. Awesome, awesome concert! And don't get me wrong, Anvil were really great too, I just regreted their very short set list, they skipped some great songs.

BTW, if you're in Vienna, I recommend hotel roomz. Cheap for Vienna and very nice! We had like 10 min walk to the concert place, great location, it's rather close to the city centre too.

So yeah ... the concert was so amazing, we came to hotel, almost missed the check-out in the morning (we're the definition of  a not-morning person, especially after a concert the night before) and headed for Slovenia. 

It was beyond awesome, seriously. I'm in a better mood if i just think about that trip. I have the best boyfriend in the world, have I ever mentioned that? Thanks for everything, dearest. :*

Any thoughts on this entry or on road trip in general, any favourites, any places/hotels you saw differently if/when you visited them?
