So I finally got around to photographing the contents of last December's Amazon Beauty Advent Calendar (there's been a lot happening) which means I can now actually use the products. Woo hoo! This was a really fun advent calendar comprising 24 windows to open. I'm quite happy with the varied beauty products although I can't speak to value as it was a Christmas gift, so I don't know what it cost. Let's have a look at the contents!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL1pHExtIkJKf99vzbGNdhNnd4JdRVXpG9muj-ikh2MLhCV4zmSR4CFk2_ns5SZ1SCtLsEv4vDSegznqQ61uJLTJbh3fFgoOPSsoHS7uYby6tFhKsfw8itMW4_5wZwmCVVhhAnqAbCM1UCj-zwf7fwUaVkd5j_Vfc_ejjPe-766u1Z9o8Ab-sDQOXsyhM/s3837/amazoncalendar2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3837" data-original-width="2877" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL1pHExtIkJKf99vzbGNdhNnd4JdRVXpG9muj-ikh2MLhCV4zmSR4CFk2_ns5SZ1SCtLsEv4vDSegznqQ61uJLTJbh3fFgoOPSsoHS7uYby6tFhKsfw8itMW4_5wZwmCVVhhAnqAbCM1UCj-zwf7fwUaVkd5j_Vfc_ejjPe-766u1Z9o8Ab-sDQOXsyhM/w480-h640/amazoncalendar2.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">~ Palmer's Cocoa Butter Hand Cream (96g)<br />~ OGX Biotin & Collagen Oil Mist (118ml)<br />~ Natio Gentle Foaming Facial Cleanser (100g)<br />~ Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream (60g)<br />~ Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micellar Water Makeup Remover (100ml)<br />~ AHC Luminous Glow Real Eye Cream (12ml)<br />~ Grown Alchemist Gentle Gel Facial Cleanser (50ml)<br />~ Sukin Original Hydrating Mist Toner (50ml)<br />~ Jack Black All-Over Wash (30ml)<br />~ NYX Plump Finish Setting Spray (30ml)<br />~ COSRX The Hyaluronic Acid 3 Serum (20ml)<br />~ Wella Fusion Intensive Repair Mask (30ml)<br />~ Weleda Skin Food (Body Lotion (20ml)<br />~ Olaplex No 3 Hair Perfector (30ml)<br />~ Mizon Phyto Plump Collagen Serum (30ml)<br />~ WeDo Shampoo Bar (25g)<br />~ Schick Hydro Silk Touch-Up 3 Pack Razors<br />~ 1000 Hour Bambi Lashes (1 pack)<br />~ GrandeLash Peptide Lash Enhancing Serum (1ml)<br />~ Mediheal Teatree Essential Mask (1 pack)<br />~ Aimeili Builder Base (10ml)<br />~ Philosophy Hyaluronic Glow Moisturiser Water Cream (7mg)<br />~ Philosophy Skin Resurrection Overnight Power (7mg)<br />~ I'm From Rice Toner (30ml)<br />~ Hugo Boss Boss Bottled (5ml)<br />~ L'Oreal Lash Paradise Mascara (Black) (4.9ml)<br />~ L'Oreal Le Khol Naturel by Paradise Eyeliner (Midnight Black) <br />~ Maybelline Falsies Surreal Mascara (4.7ml)<br />~ Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink in Seductress (mini size)<br />~ Essie nail polish in Ballet Slippers (5ml)<br />~ OPI nail lacquer in Esmalte de Unas Nagellack (3.75ml)</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK2BS7WNvRnfkpA1VNhKz_3nbNFJPY8EXCQaXcLjDY4M_mBnxgCU9ZZXy5hiQgCLx0PwBEGsM0MsusvwJfBqv5JF5xvTC82Hh-u5Oe_PMQn0EwvnL7ebHsIStlUKAPT1KwiOLf3qDF6JHY-p6YoLVmzanx68iXFyj29Pg2VuoiFdSyQDJ-Ly6rjxpv31Y/s4032/amazoncalendar3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK2BS7WNvRnfkpA1VNhKz_3nbNFJPY8EXCQaXcLjDY4M_mBnxgCU9ZZXy5hiQgCLx0PwBEGsM0MsusvwJfBqv5JF5xvTC82Hh-u5Oe_PMQn0EwvnL7ebHsIStlUKAPT1KwiOLf3qDF6JHY-p6YoLVmzanx68iXFyj29Pg2VuoiFdSyQDJ-Ly6rjxpv31Y/w480-h640/amazoncalendar3.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">There are more than 24 items, because some windows contained multiple products.

Recently I was gifted the <b>Earth:en 4-Step Normal to Combination Skin Routine</b> to trial and review on their website, so I thought I'd also post it here in case anyone is interested in the products. I liked these products except for the moisturiser, which unfortunately was a fail for me. Read on for my thoughts!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>The Earth:en 4-Step Normal to Combination Skin Routine contains four products; Passionfruit & Pineapple Cleansing Gel - Lychee, Lemon & Finger Lime Refreshing Mist - Mangosteen & Quandong Antioxidant Serum - Papaya & Finger Lime Balancing Moisturiser.</b> First of all, I love the packaging of this skincare range. The white design is simple, clean and elegant and the wooden accents give the products an earthy, modern aesthetic. These products look stylish sitting on my bathroom shelf and beauty table.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The <b>Passionfruit & Pineapple</b> <b>Cleansing Gel</b> uses a pump dispenser, which I really like. The gel itself is clear, with a yellow tinge. I'm enjoying the passionfruit and pineapple fragrance, as I'm a big fan of fruity aromas. I get a nice, gentle cleanse from this, and it leaves my skin feeling clean and fresh, nourished but not dry. I'm also enjoying the gel consistency, as I prefer that texture cleanser over foams, creams and oils.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The <b>Lychee, Lemon & Finger Lime Mist</b> was a refreshing delight when spritzed on the face, especially perfect on a hot Summer's day! I even used this on my arms and chest, and it was effective at cooling me down whilst providing a lovely natural fruity scent to inhale. I used this as a first step in my skincare and makeup routine, as it sinks in nicely and leaves my skin feeling fresh and boosted with a hit of moisture.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The <b>Mangosteen & Quandong Serum</b> has a mid-level consistency and is an off-white coloured serum. The smell to me is herby, earthy and quite strong, but pleasant. This, along with the Mist, are my favourite products from the 4 Step Routine. The serum is lightweight and feels nice and luxurious when applied. It absorbs quite quickly. Although I do like the dropper for dispensing the product, that fact that it's white instead of clear means you can't see how much product you've pulled into the dropper. Results-wise, my skintone looks more even after use, but I'm not noticing any other benefits. However if you're after just a really lovely Aussie serum, you can't go wrong with this one.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The <b>Papaya & Finger Lime Moisturiser</b> is the only product in the line I didn't really enjoy. It has a light, fruity fragrance similar to the other products in the range. It's a lightweight cream, but unfortunately it just didn't want to absorb into my face. I thought it didn't sit well with the mist and serum (even though these products are in a 4 step system and thus designed to work together) so I tried it on my arm that had no underlying products and it still took a very long time to absorb into my skin. It also somewhat separated when I was attempting to rub it in, which wasn't ideal. Even though I'd give the moisturiser a miss, I did enjoy the other Earth:en products in the Normal to Combination Skin Routine line.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWGnvzWN2SEV9mwpPYktFY9LBmqmwDprmJl1WWbtQ9KL5s2DdXcz3djplRZKgWRFWrsiGHf6t64UyDaU1Czr7782Q9bILOexTuIvKIiU1oEgyY_dYNnorL5gTxRp00Sbm1I2fJHDOO_yztg4I2qslTyjaaf5W8IoSMV_ryE1CQCeHE03EYBCvUjwvx_-s/s4032/earthen1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWGnvzWN2SEV9mwpPYktFY9LBmqmwDprmJl1WWbtQ9KL5s2DdXcz3djplRZKgWRFWrsiGHf6t64UyDaU1Czr7782Q9bILOexTuIvKIiU1oEgyY_dYNnorL5gTxRp00Sbm1I2fJHDOO_yztg4I2qslTyjaaf5W8IoSMV_ryE1CQCeHE03EYBCvUjwvx_-s/w480-h640/earthen1.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Disclaimer: I received these products from Earth:en to review.</span></p>Di from Max The Unicornhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11332354464530426852noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9180777751002123877.post-18789018548266758712024-01-31T17:26:00.000+10:302024-01-31T17:26:13.631+10:30Lush Haul: Boxing Day Sale Bargains!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeCI3sUZ3pUZaeBLGoJshXEUKejT4qdK_u7kCYrC43vetT3Ea8L82OJc7yacn0Pu6BbRTA10Jnn9hpA95e00zwRexyD8e5S8-PRK-E-kgCxPGSPHqFepy7QDntAvS5YKhaCSDvXC6IBVc3z4JTMr_VI9hS5LIPazMjynpqM-SISD04A3vzFOW_B5Kv-D0/s3711/lushBD1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3711" data-original-width="2783" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeCI3sUZ3pUZaeBLGoJshXEUKejT4qdK_u7kCYrC43vetT3Ea8L82OJc7yacn0Pu6BbRTA10Jnn9hpA95e00zwRexyD8e5S8-PRK-E-kgCxPGSPHqFepy7QDntAvS5YKhaCSDvXC6IBVc3z4JTMr_VI9hS5LIPazMjynpqM-SISD04A3vzFOW_B5Kv-D0/w480-h640/lushBD1.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Hi guys! Long time, no blog! Happy New Year... I hope you're all having a lovely 2024 so far. I've decided to blog from time to time, when I've got something to write about. I won't be posting weekly like I was last year, because at times I was having to find things to blog about, just for the sake of keeping up my schedule. But I did buy quite a few things in December, hence this Lush Haul post!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">First, let's look at what I picked up, then I'll delve deeper into the products and my Lush online shopping experience. This is a combined Haul, mostly bought online but also a couple of products from the Boxing Day sale in-store.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><b><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">~ Happy Hippy shower gel (250g)<br />~ Snow Fairy shower gel (275g)<br />~ The Olive Branch shower gel (100g)<br />~ Dirty SpringWash shower gel (100g)<br />~ Twilight shower jelly (100g)<br />~ Snow Fairy shower gel (100g)<br />~ Jingle All The Way Gift <br />(containing Happy Hippy shower gel 100g + Bouncing Santa shower jelly 85g)<br />~ Ro's Argan soap sample *free sample* (not pictured)</span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b></p><p><b></b></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcr-mihAxepxBlumBc0UZ9Q7rUK0T05I9PEHulB_Z0ubTYcbJ25QEjm5qsDD0DR4I4LhLGcSAWbJwUxlStS2QgyREzoIH8sYjLxr6ewjmA_nTPvvwHsvvOgFUp8QXHixNipFdkYX6LOaVE8N6jaI3hsPKfsosXe6MiWV39bsSJ7aQGDE4Kr16PwwIi9Qo/s4032/lushBD2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcr-mihAxepxBlumBc0UZ9Q7rUK0T05I9PEHulB_Z0ubTYcbJ25QEjm5qsDD0DR4I4LhLGcSAWbJwUxlStS2QgyREzoIH8sYjLxr6ewjmA_nTPvvwHsvvOgFUp8QXHixNipFdkYX6LOaVE8N6jaI3hsPKfsosXe6MiWV39bsSJ7aQGDE4Kr16PwwIi9Qo/w480-h640/lushBD2.jpg" width="480" /></a></b></div><b><br /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></b><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;">First of all, can you tell I love shower gels? It's the main thing I buy in a Lush sale and I definitely have my favourites! The two products I bought in-store were the large Snow Fairy shower gel and the Dirty Springwater shower gel 100g, both half price. Being in-store purchases, this all went smoothly.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">My online purchases didn't go quite as well. I went straight to the Boxing Day sale section to grab some goodies at half the normal price (since this was my entire reason for shopping) and shopped wholly from there. I had added a Lord Of Misrule soap to my cart which went through as normal at checkout. Later I received an email from Lush saying I was receiving a refund, then a further email explaining there was a glitch in their system and the soap was actually out of stock but the system mistakenly let me add it to my cart. Fair enough, mistakes happen and I was refunded, so I missed out on a half price soap, but that was it.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">But something I wasn't too happy about was that the large Happy Hippy shower gel and the Twilight shower jelly I was charged full price for, despite only shopping from the Boxing Day section, where items were on sale for 50% off. I emailed Lush about it and what must have happened was that certain sizes weren't available so I went up to the next size, not realizing that this would be full price (despite being in the Boxing Day Sale section). This should definitely have been made clearer on site and <i>only</i> products that were 50% off should be listed in the BD sale section, not alternate sizes that are full price.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Let's talk about the goodies!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>SNOW FAIRY shower gel</b><br />'For sparkle like there's snow tomorrow, lather up in candy-sweet suds that shimmer with magic that comes but once a year.'<br />It's a Limited Edition Christmas special that sweet, fun, pink, pretty and smells delightful. Yes I got both sizes, the small one online, then decided I also needed a big bottle from the city store for this magical cleanser to last me longer!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>HAPPY HIPPY shower gel</b><br />'A breakfast boost for your body. Full of grapefruit goodness to awaken your skin and enliven your mind.'<br />I love citrusy fragrances, so the addition of grapefruit juice just makes this gel a zesty, fruity, happiness-inducing experience for me. I love using this in a morning shower to enliven my mood all day.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>DIRTY SPRINGWASH shower gel</b><br />'A rapturous tingle of menthol crystals, and a crisp breath of spearmint tempts like untrodden snow, galvanising you into action.'<br />I had never tried this one before, so was excited to pick it up in-store after having smelled it. I was a bit cautious about the menthol, but it's actually rather invigorating. Word of warning - I did get it in a fresh cat scratch and that was not fun (and I probably wouldn't use this on my front bum either lol). The bottle mentions mountain lakes, herbaceous breezes of thyme oil and refreshing open air.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>THE OLIVE BRANCH shower gel</b><br />'Steadying arms wrap around you, full of sweeping citrus notes and gentle, reassuring warmth.'<br />This one smells warm, inviting and beautiful. It could almost be a unisex gel. It contains organic olives which are cold-pressed into rejuvenating Fair Trade oil, vine leaf infusion and mandarin juice. No wonder I love this with the citrus theme again!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>TWILIGHT shower jelly</b><br />'Sleepwalk soundly into the twilight zone with soothing lavender oil lathers.'<br />Okay I probably shouldn't have bought this online without having smelled it first, because it's not my favourite scent. As explained above, I was charged full price, too! Oh well, I'll use this at night and hopefully it will help me sleep.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>JINGLE ALL THE WAY gift</b><br /><b>Contains a small Happy Hippy shower gel + Bouncing Santa shower jelly (pictured below).</b><br />I've already talked about Happy Hippy, so on to the Bouncing Santa!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>BOUNCING SANTA shower jelly</b><br />'Santa Claus is bouncing to town! Making a list, showering twice, gotta find out who's naughty or nice!' <br />Well that told us nothing lol. But one thing's for sure, my Bouncing Santa sure did bounce around during delivery, because she didn't arrive in the best shape, as you can see from the photo. The Twilight jelly arrived okay, so this Christmas release must have moved around more being inside the gift box.

After blogging every week since August last year (45 consecutive posts!), the time has come for me to take a break. As much as I love writing, I'm just not feeling it lately, and I'd rather use the time to focus on other parts of my life. This is not the end for Max The Unicorn though! I'm not sure if it will be weeks or months, but I will be back.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">You may have noticed that I've also slowed down my Collabs on Instagram. I was originally intending to have a break altogether from Collabs, both on my beauty and food accounts, but I don't mind working on the odd one here and there. Basically I had up to seven Collabs at once at some points in time, and I was overwhelmed, stressed, extremely busy, unhappy and not getting time for anything else. The last few months I've started being a lot more picky with what I'll accept, because it has to be worth it for me now. I'm up in the air about whether I'll get back to continuously collaborating with brands, restaurants/hotels/cafes and PR companies again (I'll play it by ear), but for now it really has to slow down for a while.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">I'm feeling a lot happier with my change in priorities, and the balance I'm creating in my life. Specifically on my food account, this will also give me a chance to post all the non-obligated photos I have built up, which I've been wanting to do for a long time, but Collabs always took priority.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">If you want to still follow along with what I'm up to, the best place is my food account <a href="https://www.instagram.com/imhungrymax/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">@imhungrymax</span></b></a> where I do enjoy posting Stories every day. But for this blog, I'll see you on the other side of my break! Happy Week, everyone.</span></p>Di from Max The Unicornhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11332354464530426852noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9180777751002123877.post-79959541439777040832023-06-05T12:16:00.000+09:302023-06-05T12:16:23.524+09:30Priceline Haul!<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUVOYToEFt-7i-verFKZdDojeTmU-Miu4HWzBkt_0yHYwBiqK-0G8S9ADf5cpnOclMGkolqFNWY8r_klgblOuOaHWgEY5KxXlO4HeWVvudUPxZl3TOrDxnsGBzZrrFNteC_sKiiZZHbfrmR8gGRNf0d_3tA0A-aQb78LZ0Pyt4ppv8JPrYpwCpZzMG/s4032/pricelinehaircarehaul2023three.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUVOYToEFt-7i-verFKZdDojeTmU-Miu4HWzBkt_0yHYwBiqK-0G8S9ADf5cpnOclMGkolqFNWY8r_klgblOuOaHWgEY5KxXlO4HeWVvudUPxZl3TOrDxnsGBzZrrFNteC_sKiiZZHbfrmR8gGRNf0d_3tA0A-aQb78LZ0Pyt4ppv8JPrYpwCpZzMG/w480-h640/pricelinehaircarehaul2023three.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>Hi guys! So I might have done a spur of the moment Priceline Haul last week! I had wanted to try some different volume hair products, and then I saw the Priceline email advertising half price haircare plus double points for one day only, so I took it as a sign and put in an order, lol. How good are sales? I'm so happy with the amount I saved.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXyq4xv7DFCdLjdjp6Fbl_I9kgHc8KyW3xtxG2R4Ae4MWBO26em9spEM0tb3np4CEz8jQGEF18bZhOubc6nRJDpRPWIa_uosuxTl_x1Io_aSxcsc616x7L04w8VwCdwfRs-wjWmmUP_EDxiWl7JVyrbSo11BKjNhGab_fxxV1QX3hAfIRg3tZIeJpi/s4032/pricelinehaircarehaul2023two.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXyq4xv7DFCdLjdjp6Fbl_I9kgHc8KyW3xtxG2R4Ae4MWBO26em9spEM0tb3np4CEz8jQGEF18bZhOubc6nRJDpRPWIa_uosuxTl_x1Io_aSxcsc616x7L04w8VwCdwfRs-wjWmmUP_EDxiWl7JVyrbSo11BKjNhGab_fxxV1QX3hAfIRg3tZIeJpi/w480-h640/pricelinehaircarehaul2023two.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p>Here's what I got!</p><p><b>HASK Biotin Boost Thickening Shampoo</b> (RRP $17, bought for $8.50)<br />This is my holy grail shampoo and the only one I ever buy. I usually like to wait until it goes on special though, because it's quite pricey. Yes I consider $17 pricey for a shampoo! I love the results I get and that one shampoo gets all the product out. Before I discovered this thickening shampoo I was using a clarifying shampoo followed by a volumizing shampoo, but no need for two washes with this one.</p><p><b>HASK Biotin Dry Shampoo</b> (RRP $12, bought for $6)<br />Because I love the HASK Biotin shampoo and conditioner it makes sense to try out the dry shampoo from the range, especially since it's half price. It contains biotin for volume, collagen to fortify and coffee to help boost, which I'm hoping together give a nice plumping, volumizing lift from the roots. I'm an absolute dry shampoo fiend, so it was inevitable that I'd try this eventually.</p><p><b>HASK Biotin Boost Thickening 5-in-1 Leave In Spray</b> (RRP $17, bought for $8.50)<br />Can you tell I'm a fan of HASK? I'm so keen to try this one as I was looking for a product I could spray in that would give my hair some body and va-va-voom action! Let's hope this does the trick. It's actually crazy how many volume hair products I use, basically every product I own is designed to create body in some way or another. That's how fine my hair is!</p><p><b>John Frieda Volume Lift Thickening Spray</b> (RRP $20.99 bought for $10.49)<br />John Frieda products have failed me in the past, but I'm going to give them another go with this volume lift thickening spray. Surely one of these products has to work, right? There was no way I was paying full price for something I'm iffy on, so a half price sale is the perfect time to try it out. It was either this or the JF Volume Lift Fine To Full Blow Out Spray Styler but that had a bad review so I went with the thickening spray. Wish me luck!</p><p><b>Thin Lizzy Age Reverse Undereye Treatment Concealer</b> (RRP $34.99, bought for $20.99)<br />I thought I paid full price for this on Sunday (I know I paid $20.99) but Priceline now have Thin Lizzy products at 40% off and the RRP is listed as $34.99, so I must be wrong? How confusing. Anyway I love my Thin Lizzy Concealer Creme, it really covers everything, so I wanted to give this undereye treatment concealer a go. I got the shade Enchanted Rose.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLaHpK17Vebgc4LXFDal2FHuUcCRuKeY2Ys_gy63cn8vpYw-Yhjl6tzVFONfiNzVxQo4fCkBIkpknLq9Z_NM-YnmaR8Yek5dRzSuXRPRpGufqkcELJj9GN0Z6jgmWWS5MSxCiXau-1gJGfTkJXWSbX2q_c0vF6UyKC5KvFionZs_jvI0g0s4fI4SzD/s3648/pricelinehaircarehaul2023one.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3648" data-original-width="2736" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLaHpK17Vebgc4LXFDal2FHuUcCRuKeY2Ys_gy63cn8vpYw-Yhjl6tzVFONfiNzVxQo4fCkBIkpknLq9Z_NM-YnmaR8Yek5dRzSuXRPRpGufqkcELJj9GN0Z6jgmWWS5MSxCiXau-1gJGfTkJXWSbX2q_c0vF6UyKC5KvFionZs_jvI0g0s4fI4SzD/w480-h640/pricelinehaircarehaul2023one.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>I hope you enjoyed my haul!

Last week I watched <b>The AfterParty</b> on AppleTV+ and absolutely loved it! The genre is murder mystery mixed with comedy, and honestly it's just so entertaining and funny. There are only eight episodes, each with a run time of 30-45 minutes, so it's really easy to binge this quickly. Trust me, you will be hooked.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicvoojm0gsJduDE1JQInnk7zkjG_nPO89BzFuoikYWVfffTQQuDztNI_3SUZp-hSZM3ne9YALouaYQMY_gSqW2Aw-RMTVm1Mpy4MumRExTM4Ex-LWaObDYzJvtf7tgpNdYu1G6MxBVBE8AwJ_AOrIAWWSZLh1D1_-v5O96ervzf_xQ7en4s6KjCiXW/s1200/afterparty2.webp" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="630" data-original-width="1200" height="336" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicvoojm0gsJduDE1JQInnk7zkjG_nPO89BzFuoikYWVfffTQQuDztNI_3SUZp-hSZM3ne9YALouaYQMY_gSqW2Aw-RMTVm1Mpy4MumRExTM4Ex-LWaObDYzJvtf7tgpNdYu1G6MxBVBE8AwJ_AOrIAWWSZLh1D1_-v5O96ervzf_xQ7en4s6KjCiXW/w640-h336/afterparty2.webp" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><i>'When a high school reunion's afterparty ends in a death, everyone is a suspect. A detective grills the former classmates one by one, uncovering potential motives as each tells their version of the story - culminating in the shocking truth.'</i></p><p>Each episode is told from the perspective of a different character, as Detective Danner (Tiffany Haddish) interviews the various suspects. Sam Richardson is so likeable as Aniq. I'm a huge Ted Lasso fan, but didn't recognise him from his role as Edwin Akufo on Ted Lasso until I Googled the cast after watching the whole show! Yasper's (Ben Schwartz) episode is my all-time favourite, as it's filled with hilarious song and dance numbers that are super catchy and fun. Zoe's episode is animated, providing a cute point of difference. Some other notable actors in the cast are Ilana Glazer (Comedy Central's Broad City), Ike Barinholtz (Eastbound & Down, Blockers) and Dave Franco (Warm Bodies, Now You See Me) as pop star/murder victim Xavier. Fun Fact - Dave is the younger brother of actor James Franco.</p><p>The cast do a great job in The AfterParty; it's well-written, clever and funny as hell. Make sure you check it out on AppleTV+. There's also a second season coming soon!</p><p style="text-align: center;">You may also like <a href="http://maxtheunicorn.blogspot.com/2023/03/my-top-10-netflix-recommendations.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">My Top Ten Netflix Recommendations</span></b></a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi45c3BVhSCnTsVeWV73QfERFzqK-pWpGnpnZU7-88W5qpiR5vVkHGExa_soMyiwtdXCB4DWvaRqZMzcvdZ47TUfGYhg4eeqSpGtTPvWk3wb15msRnY1K62F7GPOwqN7AZJX1DEWMYAak1Ek3eFAQ5jAE-w5P0DYhOLjH1Fv-8GMhGEIYc6-oMeT7Be/s1200/afterparty3.webp" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="630" data-original-width="1200" height="336" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi45c3BVhSCnTsVeWV73QfERFzqK-pWpGnpnZU7-88W5qpiR5vVkHGExa_soMyiwtdXCB4DWvaRqZMzcvdZ47TUfGYhg4eeqSpGtTPvWk3wb15msRnY1K62F7GPOwqN7AZJX1DEWMYAak1Ek3eFAQ5jAE-w5P0DYhOLjH1Fv-8GMhGEIYc6-oMeT7Be/w640-h336/afterparty3.webp" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>Have a great week guys!</p>Di from Max The Unicornhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11332354464530426852noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9180777751002123877.post-85505873334376509452023-05-22T10:08:00.000+09:302023-05-22T10:08:05.062+09:30Mani Monday: Barry M Crystal Rock Textured Nails!<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_FQfKXAgY7sD0TrFFyIgbmMR4KthS5Tx_SsvKhKL0l5bkomlT42We-zhtTsR9s65yZC7Z518qSenqDgEERhyChBUnvpzQLiy2IUSxUHl_P3cMJXrhYijBLYsIohpneWlUlc0cP85M_ZqTvM5l2rpFWBewufQTG8QvIrVOYJjGpX3IfrS15La9sClv/s4032/texturednails5.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_FQfKXAgY7sD0TrFFyIgbmMR4KthS5Tx_SsvKhKL0l5bkomlT42We-zhtTsR9s65yZC7Z518qSenqDgEERhyChBUnvpzQLiy2IUSxUHl_P3cMJXrhYijBLYsIohpneWlUlc0cP85M_ZqTvM5l2rpFWBewufQTG8QvIrVOYJjGpX3IfrS15La9sClv/w480-h640/texturednails5.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>Hi guys! Yes it's another Mani Monday, sorry not sorry! I got this <b>Barry M Crystal Rock Textured Nail Paint</b> from Priceline in a 40% off storewide sale and I'm just too excited to try it, so here we are. It was so hard to pick a colour, because they were all so pretty, but in the end I decided on <b>Pink Tourmaline</b>. Having a look at the Barry M website now, I'm thinking I should have picked up Amethyst, Emerald Green and Fluorite too lol!</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLgwC9A0vTTFSc7oJZMcM4B-6S9283PF9akdgqRXQ503qoKGTvxYLecqwYojU2GyHF0OLsxYmJGZ0hswWzfOXeo5EvuBcGNHiSTmjudPpgw7ZrWez1ucZ56k8-QLIKXTVxIrs9MpOEQ4e72bFwF9QP6M1iJMvBuYu8LeEHwoZqERXYKr8hMnlLlpgK/s3693/texturednails2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3693" data-original-width="2770" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLgwC9A0vTTFSc7oJZMcM4B-6S9283PF9akdgqRXQ503qoKGTvxYLecqwYojU2GyHF0OLsxYmJGZ0hswWzfOXeo5EvuBcGNHiSTmjudPpgw7ZrWez1ucZ56k8-QLIKXTVxIrs9MpOEQ4e72bFwF9QP6M1iJMvBuYu8LeEHwoZqERXYKr8hMnlLlpgK/w480-h640/texturednails2.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p>So this textured finish means it will be an absolute bitch to remove, and if there's ever a time to apply a base coat, this would be it. However, I can't find my base, so I guess I'm royally fucked. The good news is at least you don't need a top coat. These paints are super glittery and meant to change as they dry. Pink Tourmaline applied really well, but was a bit thin after one coat, so I applied two. The rough texture finish means it would be more forgiving with smudges. I found that the paint can get a little gloopy/thick on the brush towards the end of an application, but this really wasn't a problem.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyqjbhRHiXPueckm403xUMYb6STMfBh2nP6BKEtMNG5yaj0h4nksjEM5G7g3Gjapr4LLuJmWm2XHGCfO1vOm3d1WxNsfAra1sNgGkiamsEHlyFubJQ6DVK1E35JRHZxdvDlUO_nEkoIsyDGZUtp8LYXdfBEEGdDSi0knm67peY5g0spw5VCFQwYYLw/s4032/texturednails1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyqjbhRHiXPueckm403xUMYb6STMfBh2nP6BKEtMNG5yaj0h4nksjEM5G7g3Gjapr4LLuJmWm2XHGCfO1vOm3d1WxNsfAra1sNgGkiamsEHlyFubJQ6DVK1E35JRHZxdvDlUO_nEkoIsyDGZUtp8LYXdfBEEGdDSi0knm67peY5g0spw5VCFQwYYLw/w480-h640/texturednails1.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p>I will say that rough finish, non-shiny, colour-shift type polishes are a nightmare to photograph! I found it so hard to get good shots of both the bottle (especially since it also had gold font on the packaging) and my mani. The camera just doesn't pick up all the glittery shifty goodness. This was the best I could do.</p><p>I really love this look! The colour is so pretty and all the gold glittery particles as you move your nails are stunning. The non-smooth finish take a little getting used to, but I would definitely pick up more from the Crystal Rock collection from Barry M to try more colours.</p><p>I will now leave you with pics of my textured look nails.

So I went a bit crazy and bought a few things online from Kmart recently. I was actually trying to redeem a gift card I had won. And I say 'trying' because, well, it seems you cannot use gift cards for Kmart online, only in-store. I probably should've read the fine print on the back of the card before spending an hour picking out the perfect items lol. Anyway, I decided to just pay for it, because I'd put in the work and I wasn't closing my browser without actually making all this pretty home decor mine. Enjoy!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrq4iwBIcsWnzBLElig2cbQ9ZeGGeiH_MlFnyCDOHvRiJ4eWvZcde4sCNEZY6fnd7KV_d-BG1sAI0rH39nlbK0JGNb0hngesl7xPoOgS5fYTaBi1eKDNHhR8jwcqkTue0UFfAS3l8a2b_Mdh5jEYbQeJM1c1R6Di1B0-ao-FzkxUhSJrg3FhIx3xfF/s4032/kmart8.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrq4iwBIcsWnzBLElig2cbQ9ZeGGeiH_MlFnyCDOHvRiJ4eWvZcde4sCNEZY6fnd7KV_d-BG1sAI0rH39nlbK0JGNb0hngesl7xPoOgS5fYTaBi1eKDNHhR8jwcqkTue0UFfAS3l8a2b_Mdh5jEYbQeJM1c1R6Di1B0-ao-FzkxUhSJrg3FhIx3xfF/w480-h640/kmart8.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSiEjL57bfaaXWKB0NWvgleS-iR4HnMOh7hA9tdNfzndop1uZ4D_bdYI0D9dGP-YpFmAirxi1FiCiXCaBptPqfqpfxKATl7SnOadRerDqPw8lCeJjf3uuLx_3-j3AH_ntkn_WiZVclJRrwpucxXl6glK2k_eHExhGKqJ65Eel0xe0UK8mbxbG7m1ky/s4032/kmart2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSiEjL57bfaaXWKB0NWvgleS-iR4HnMOh7hA9tdNfzndop1uZ4D_bdYI0D9dGP-YpFmAirxi1FiCiXCaBptPqfqpfxKATl7SnOadRerDqPw8lCeJjf3uuLx_3-j3AH_ntkn_WiZVclJRrwpucxXl6glK2k_eHExhGKqJ65Eel0xe0UK8mbxbG7m1ky/w480-h640/kmart2.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p>I've been looking for a throw rug to drape over my white boucle computer chair, so when I saw this <b>Anko Boucle Throw in White ($28)</b> I couldn't believe it.

It smells fresh and looks good, and is probably the dearest single candle I bought. <b>The Out Of Office Soy Blend Fragrant Candle ($4)</b> smells of citrus, bitter orange and sage, and you're probably getting an idea of my favourite types of aromas by now! I couldn't resist the <b>Prosecco Pear Medium Fragrant Candle ($5.50)</b> purely because of the scent, however I've bought this range before and am not a fan of how the sticky glue from the packaging remains on the candle. I like things to look perfect, no flaws allowed, especially my pet peeve, sticky residue from packaging. Lastly, I bought the <b>Arch Shaped Pillar Candle ($5)</b> and the <b>Pink Bubble Candle ($5)</b> merely for decoration (I don't think they even have a fragrance?) because they look interesting and will add character to a room.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpgzeV76hTWD3nnAU8AZN0iqJkhz_DSGlsdIhATpH6oaSV0t_JFQMyoYUWmzchjGb4hJ_sOlhZ9RywZQAQZG9zX6_oteAjO55EKZgdM8X14qr1MEjnJiDwBTncmOg4aJD3h08Bi6d4SvCQWshXKh2Ns_0AeemO3tusUvqeSl1pkuthG48C1VW7z7m7/s4032/kmart9.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpgzeV76hTWD3nnAU8AZN0iqJkhz_DSGlsdIhATpH6oaSV0t_JFQMyoYUWmzchjGb4hJ_sOlhZ9RywZQAQZG9zX6_oteAjO55EKZgdM8X14qr1MEjnJiDwBTncmOg4aJD3h08Bi6d4SvCQWshXKh2Ns_0AeemO3tusUvqeSl1pkuthG48C1VW7z7m7/w480-h640/kmart9.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p>Whoa!

This week my son is doing work experience, so hopefully I'll have plenty of time to write, so there will be a proper one next Monday. Two Bit Villains is still operating in the heart of the city, so this is still relevant and hilarious, but they may have changed their dishes since seven years ago lol.

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">LOL. I'm still not living this down. I surprised hubby with my choice of lunch date location last week, and he was pretty amused/appalled/surprised alright when he looked at the menu. I don't know how I missed this, because I <i>did</i> research <b>Two Bit Villains</b> online before proudly making my decision, but all the meat words were in quotes. For example, panko-crumbed "chicken", housemade pressed "beef" and spice-rubbed "pulled pork". ALL THE MEAT WAS FAKE. Oh My God, we laughed. We laughed, we laughed some more, and then as staunch Carnivores, we widely avoided ordering the fake meat. I looked at hubby and could see him mentally crafting the story he would tell his workmates upon his return. This tale would not feature me in a favourable light. Anyhoo, I ordered, said no to all the vegan and dairy-free options, and returned to our table. And thus began our one hour experience as vegetarians.</span><br />

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><b>Food:</b> I had the Onion Rings Burger (if you read <a href="http://maxtheunicorn.blogspot.com.au/2016/05/lunch-series-bread-and-bone-wood-grill.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: blue;">this post</span></b></a> you'll be aware of my onion ring addiction) which was lettuce, tomato, cheese on a bun stuffed with onion rings and a swirl of tomato sauce and mustard. I picked Tater Tots as my side, probably just so I could shove them in my pockets later like Napoleon Dynamite. This was a good sized meal. I mean we are talking generous servings here. I basically couldn't finish it and hubby just managed to eat his but couldn't finish mine. This <i>never</i> happens (he always has the ability to finish my food). I'm pretty sure the cheese was real and the burger was good. The tater tots were good. I enjoyed and was super-full afterwards. My husband got the Nacho! Nacho! Man meal with guacamole (a basket of crunchy tortilla chips topped with housemade salsa beans, grated carrot, corn, spring onions, sour cream and cheese). He said it was really nice, even the beans which he normally doesn't like. He had onions rings as a side, and obviously we shared the tater tots and onion rings, because of my #onionringaddiction. The onion rings were super crunchy and delicious! 10/10 for the onion rings!</span><br />

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif"><b>Ambience:</b> I loved the cute, funky decor, the quirky arches and the large opening out to Rundle Mall that provided a welcome breeze. We were told if we sat on a long table we may have to share, so we made a beeline for the high tables with stools along the wall. Our table was quite private and plenty fun! There weren't a ton of other diners, perhaps another four or five tables of people. The staff were all friendly and capable, no issues there whatsoever. I'm glad it didn't get super-busy. Overall, quite a lovely dining atmosphere</span>.<br />

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">I'm not gonna lie, we've probably eaten everything off the menu that we want to, with the possible exception of the Frozen Choc Peanut Pie dessert. I don't think we'd return, even though it was a pleasant surprise!</span><br />

Hello to the start of a new month (I can't believe it's May aleady!) and another Mani Monday. This week I'm wearing <b>Mauve It (213)</b> from the <b>Sally Hansen Insta-Dri range</b> of polishes. How weird that up until now I've always thought it was Insta-Dry, only just noticing it is, in fact, Insta-Dri?!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Anyway I love this range because it's designed to dry very quickly, which is great if you're pushed for time or just can't be bothered spending long painting your nails. The bottle also features a flat, wide brush, making it much quicker and easier to cover the entire nail in polish in fewer strokes. I also like the smooth bottle design; the curved triangular shape fits really well in my hand for those mani shots!</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJeouHEi3ohM9XtsZ-gJH1NHhGT0l19lFIW5ixDVSqPS_aKmisprrP7ny_8QtDUplFqihe1Rde_DMLPcMOk5vPdURRbyrAxHpaKGKr2c3NDVuLI-Uv199Y8K9v3SUiGP46h_AAmPyF2qZNEjB7qNnULL2rTn8ii5wvOOkeDNw8Sxe9X-tXKiES_qnn/s3812/SHMauveIt2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3812" data-original-width="2858" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJeouHEi3ohM9XtsZ-gJH1NHhGT0l19lFIW5ixDVSqPS_aKmisprrP7ny_8QtDUplFqihe1Rde_DMLPcMOk5vPdURRbyrAxHpaKGKr2c3NDVuLI-Uv199Y8K9v3SUiGP46h_AAmPyF2qZNEjB7qNnULL2rTn8ii5wvOOkeDNw8Sxe9X-tXKiES_qnn/w480-h640/SHMauveIt2.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_pPm5E8F-bWg1Eo7LUQTuhZskFndNBP6qd9Z2HYYrYIuXAaLl3QHyztp4djYw5D-VbFHdFA1HDXs-2lr6p-1dgVOCnGRYTcese_MwLLRw-L5Ciq6wZ1-8sTTjSlBdoUMZbTDFixdiKaWtLR9IbpqJJTY7QzBqDPMBtB4u0a65PtRA6QZ5LxvOGnBS/s4032/SHMauveIt1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_pPm5E8F-bWg1Eo7LUQTuhZskFndNBP6qd9Z2HYYrYIuXAaLl3QHyztp4djYw5D-VbFHdFA1HDXs-2lr6p-1dgVOCnGRYTcese_MwLLRw-L5Ciq6wZ1-8sTTjSlBdoUMZbTDFixdiKaWtLR9IbpqJJTY7QzBqDPMBtB4u0a65PtRA6QZ5LxvOGnBS/w480-h640/SHMauveIt1.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">I did a little bit of research and apparently Insta-Dri is formulated with a built in base and top coat for extended wear and full coverage, streak-free shine. I agree that this formula is impressive. Only one coat gives beautiful, smooth, even results.

It's kind of a pinky neutral/nude shade that's quite versatile. A classic colour! Also guys, side note - I have been super lucky with not really having a bad nail break in quite a while now. I hope I don't jinx it!</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-Kv0yosvrtxVZH9zL02t8QuRrz1iMNR-DvviDW1XsbPjfw8ffD1sO0HHLs9tCbGv5Mi2Mh1LZj3LfSlXQb0YVVq2ebzHzOPm6o8KNJlorx1ehEyLrN6BB5_CrF6PFWQAtDWYs7IFBCqYvw8Qb4wUOtW87ym44N89CpKILtYyaZ3B96eJtmgB6qZxR/s4032/SHMauveIt4.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-Kv0yosvrtxVZH9zL02t8QuRrz1iMNR-DvviDW1XsbPjfw8ffD1sO0HHLs9tCbGv5Mi2Mh1LZj3LfSlXQb0YVVq2ebzHzOPm6o8KNJlorx1ehEyLrN6BB5_CrF6PFWQAtDWYs7IFBCqYvw8Qb4wUOtW87ym44N89CpKILtYyaZ3B96eJtmgB6qZxR/w480-h640/SHMauveIt4.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioCvwpNzpLOfKeC9Z-PuggNVGlBXVSsYYyXK-IfAjd2AIoFRTYt8cb6KzKR7VSvw2MNb3PsaxOqW15IKrdv7nD0C34LyhyNLNDHNQbJMhQ8bPFBFxcEX-FJDceGoWk-0t33h62g46nK9MyiKt3naQB3QoL7g4TxcOxRWZ3g2RjBSwlojkeWf0k2nYd/s4032/SHMauveIt3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioCvwpNzpLOfKeC9Z-PuggNVGlBXVSsYYyXK-IfAjd2AIoFRTYt8cb6KzKR7VSvw2MNb3PsaxOqW15IKrdv7nD0C34LyhyNLNDHNQbJMhQ8bPFBFxcEX-FJDceGoWk-0t33h62g46nK9MyiKt3naQB3QoL7g4TxcOxRWZ3g2RjBSwlojkeWf0k2nYd/w480-h640/SHMauveIt3.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p>Di from Max The Unicornhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11332354464530426852noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9180777751002123877.post-88202748261596474642023-04-24T09:01:00.000+09:302023-04-24T09:01:07.935+09:30Barry M Makeup range!<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMaaRXzzKCi8LiCprSe5SWRLZQOUy_UyVQw9nT_Sqg2avfyKtpz3jI9HEHi8DJ9JJQuSOtSxsmw5jHZ1gwsI71pERcPoQTa1n87Wnwnb0_Qe1M5hl41Sxn1ouj97fVneZpCUmYD9rdN4dzSvBUuznBrfa8TmIrJPyH5JTyyaAl-R_IuvpbO-lUIRMf/s4032/barrym1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMaaRXzzKCi8LiCprSe5SWRLZQOUy_UyVQw9nT_Sqg2avfyKtpz3jI9HEHi8DJ9JJQuSOtSxsmw5jHZ1gwsI71pERcPoQTa1n87Wnwnb0_Qe1M5hl41Sxn1ouj97fVneZpCUmYD9rdN4dzSvBUuznBrfa8TmIrJPyH5JTyyaAl-R_IuvpbO-lUIRMf/w480-h640/barrym1.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Hi guys! Recently I won a very generous prize pack of Barry M makeup, and since it covers a fair few products from their new Fresh Face range I thought I'd post about it here! This was a Giveaway being run on Instagram, and there were six winners. I don't enter that many competitions anymore, so I consider myself very lucky.

Again, the goal is create a colour neutralised base on which to apply foundation.<br />The Peach one is formulated with caffeine, oat extract and Vitamin C to rebalance skin tone, reduce the appearance of dark circles and help soothe irritated skin. I'm looking forward to trying these!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>2 x That's Swell XXL Fruity Extreme Lip Plumpers</b></span><br /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">I got these in Pineapple (the yellow one) and Plum (the purple one).

Another picture post this week, because I ran out of time and I'm still pretty unmotivated to blog, to be honest. I hope I get my mojo back! I've got an Empties post to write but it won't be for a while because this week I have two Collab visits and three collab posts to work on, so I'll be way too busy. Thank god it's the school holidays though!

font-size: medium;">Hi guys! I hope you're all having a wonderful Easter break! Before we get into the aptly titled post 'Meow Monday', a bit of housekeeping that absolutely no one will care about. I've decided to restrict comments as much as I can (I couldn't find the option to totally disable them) because I'm getting swamped with spam link comments and I'm sick of it. I don't use this blog for work/collabs anymore, it's really just because I enjoy blogging as a hobby, so I don't care about getting comments and don't need to even consider my stats or engagement. So please don't feel obliged to comment as I truly don't GAF.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtv81P5_DFXLlIeZVX0DOIAMb9OAzROwxqCMtQRcn0OepY0TX7v2XcR9gpk3eZ5nDtvPTzZ5gMo8hLYUr5h49M9AIvMaCdp-e9iz0LK2O0PkxL95F0SjEOA3GEVP1Q2PcyVvh8yFfVeokfg9mYDZKd4wendTOH7zBp_PkAFxOG5wnI2Oo_sF4h2VFQ/s4032/cats20231.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtv81P5_DFXLlIeZVX0DOIAMb9OAzROwxqCMtQRcn0OepY0TX7v2XcR9gpk3eZ5nDtvPTzZ5gMo8hLYUr5h49M9AIvMaCdp-e9iz0LK2O0PkxL95F0SjEOA3GEVP1Q2PcyVvh8yFfVeokfg9mYDZKd4wendTOH7zBp_PkAFxOG5wnI2Oo_sF4h2VFQ/w480-h640/cats20231.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">On to my cats!

font-size: medium;">Hi guys! I'm back with a quick Mani post today. I've gone off the glitters for now and have been wearing more neutral shades lately. I chose Island Hopping by Essie for an event I was going to, because I wanted a flattering, classic shade that would go with anything and look good in photos. This shade is a rich plum mauve that 'takes you anywhere you want to go. Villa today, spa tomorrow'. LOL how many of us are going from the villa to the spa I don't know... certainly not me! But anyway, it's a versatile shade, so it served its purpose and I like how it turned out.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Also, my nails are quite long at the moment, and I haven't had a major break in quite a while, so I'm happy with that, too.

WEDNESDAY</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">From Jenna Ortega's deadpan delivery as Wednesday, to the gothic sets, dark feel and the much talked about 'dance scene', Wednesday is such a fun show from start to finish. Based on the original The Addams Family characters, Tim Burton's updated version (I'm calling it his - he directs half of the episodes and serves as Executive Producer on the show) brings the mystery and intrigue and is a standout in the comedy/horror/supernatural genre.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6c2jeAWGABVa6NcOmb7uq_PkGXo6f5WGFEXCmDhUTyOvCGca_EejS8TxCRnK1bnKFtqc9ULouIVJErJaD73NakXTrJyMmzGFL-d3bhllQGwh3PXMUmkNafa-kfBH3bxI2RTLuRUzb29-_nUWZAqlWMkGzgSeaZ5J4vjYzjclTttHXQflLKu5NwgPr/s1364/toptennetflixrecs5.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1364" data-original-width="1091" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6c2jeAWGABVa6NcOmb7uq_PkGXo6f5WGFEXCmDhUTyOvCGca_EejS8TxCRnK1bnKFtqc9ULouIVJErJaD73NakXTrJyMmzGFL-d3bhllQGwh3PXMUmkNafa-kfBH3bxI2RTLuRUzb29-_nUWZAqlWMkGzgSeaZ5J4vjYzjclTttHXQflLKu5NwgPr/w512-h640/toptennetflixrecs5.png" width="512" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>2. THE WATCHER</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Another mysterious show that had me absolutely hooked, The Watcher is actually based on real-life events, making it even creepier to watch! This stars Naomi Watts, along with Bobby Cannavale and absolute icon Jennifer Coolidge, with support from Mia Farrow and Richard Kind. It's a horror/mystery/thriller about a family who move into their dream home, only to be terrorized by threatening letters from a stalker, and a bunch of very creepy neighbours. Even though I dislike scary shows, I really liked The Watcher.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDTBpE8gqpyBjyc5s8-yZGQJpXYcRDHtQGVn_J5isyQ9SimLTxy1Pu6U-ql3dAchGP8gFTBbsBmCu1onNfpRr2M_1ADadkB5tc9qx4L3Fc8dPltG_j6ZztAaGaxG0XIzHf5RQWMAyyMKGWDky807Yd1oHT-02W4WvmViboEZ2QOvK-zKQrLLkyU4rz/s3851/toptennetflixrecs11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3851" data-original-width="2888" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDTBpE8gqpyBjyc5s8-yZGQJpXYcRDHtQGVn_J5isyQ9SimLTxy1Pu6U-ql3dAchGP8gFTBbsBmCu1onNfpRr2M_1ADadkB5tc9qx4L3Fc8dPltG_j6ZztAaGaxG0XIzHf5RQWMAyyMKGWDky807Yd1oHT-02W4WvmViboEZ2QOvK-zKQrLLkyU4rz/w480-h640/toptennetflixrecs11.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>3. DEAD TO ME</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">I've loved following the characters of Judy and Jen through the seasons, so it's sad to see Dead To Me come to an end, but it was necessary due to star Christina Applegate's Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis and worsening health. This last send-off is not all doom and gloom; thankfully there are still laughs to be had in this final season. You can check out my Review of the previous seasons of Dead To Me <a href="http://maxtheunicorn.blogspot.com/2019/08/netflix-recommendation-dead-to-me.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">here.</span></b></a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg38yIiPFF71KtaBnHKDWdg_zoSi1DGzebCeSXwwR8PvpQtmyWLhqKCXrxTMYAN8tfSBlmWiXUt_g_05d5JmG1dK7GclOlvbIiCiyKISpemXK5UzDuU6JluS0xgYrcXG7J4r2opkfWhbc-b6RFfe1KG1jhuVgk3Y31NDfTlkfYkgxEMXtir8xv2242/s1389/toptennetflixrecs2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1389" data-original-width="1111" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg38yIiPFF71KtaBnHKDWdg_zoSi1DGzebCeSXwwR8PvpQtmyWLhqKCXrxTMYAN8tfSBlmWiXUt_g_05d5JmG1dK7GclOlvbIiCiyKISpemXK5UzDuU6JluS0xgYrcXG7J4r2opkfWhbc-b6RFfe1KG1jhuVgk3Y31NDfTlkfYkgxEMXtir8xv2242/w512-h640/toptennetflixrecs2.png" width="512" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>4. YOU</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Not as good as seasons 1-3 but still extremely bingeable (I watched it in two days), You season 4 is a psychological thriller based around Joe Goldberg, a bookstore manager and serial killer. If you're a fan of this series, you know some shit is gonna go down, and things will get real dark, real quick. I found S4 went in a bit of a different direction (and was also based in a completely different part of the world) but is still very good. In interviews, star Penn Badgley has said he wants one more season of You so that Joe can get what's coming to him, so let's hope he gets his wish.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0Zd_4qHbfoJfazIIRwK-EZW53QzmHa1qdSZh74QwW4JRj6In6B67ArHQeus7uqmHiQeu-DG3FetUMCNv1uRHKvOnyE0F8cJO02zN7Oq78i3nBRQF9uiQEYX9DtQMDBM37WuXj5tRwlUGdTU2ZNCEZFJZWZtP15TJngbq5PnPiOe4Pe4_5LvbuDPvK/s1299/toptennetflixrecs6.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1299" data-original-width="1039" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0Zd_4qHbfoJfazIIRwK-EZW53QzmHa1qdSZh74QwW4JRj6In6B67ArHQeus7uqmHiQeu-DG3FetUMCNv1uRHKvOnyE0F8cJO02zN7Oq78i3nBRQF9uiQEYX9DtQMDBM37WuXj5tRwlUGdTU2ZNCEZFJZWZtP15TJngbq5PnPiOe4Pe4_5LvbuDPvK/w512-h640/toptennetflixrecs6.png" width="512" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>5. THE CIRCLE</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The Circle is always a fun watch, if you don't mind loud, screechy extroverts, with a seemingly endless supply of enthusiasm. Contestants are separated into different apartments within The Circle building and can only communicate via 'The Chat', an online messaging system. They can play as themselves or try to Catfish the other players, which adds a whole other layer to proceedings. Watching them build relationships and alliances, compete in character-revealing games and strategize to be the final winner makes for entertaining (and at times exhausting) but ultimately super-fun viewing.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Short on time?

THE RECRUIT</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">I watched this on a whim, and I'm so glad I did! It stars Netflix-favourite Noah Centineo as Owen Hendricks, a CIA lawyer, who becomes involved in international conflicts with some very dangerous criminals after an asset tries to expose her relationship to the agency. The Recruit has plenty of action, drama but also laughs and intrigue. It's a spy thriller/adventure with great performances, that will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat. This has been renewed for a second season, which I'll happily be watching.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv7H08cAYPWhkxsvKqjdDyU4vTcr3cJidycceLgFUbI-vP1giTGkNAE9J5EjZPtjC0etf3MGLPVziaKCV2D3_eurfkNgTqOl4vr0dMREK3jV8TrMFLAyiuQRoMtJp7yKYX4iDcHruPFASFHoXh7ERlqGuWuePvq-a28iqTaYbswwGnjE6sUs-hUZB4/s3677/toptennetflixrecs8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3677" data-original-width="2757" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv7H08cAYPWhkxsvKqjdDyU4vTcr3cJidycceLgFUbI-vP1giTGkNAE9J5EjZPtjC0etf3MGLPVziaKCV2D3_eurfkNgTqOl4vr0dMREK3jV8TrMFLAyiuQRoMtJp7yKYX4iDcHruPFASFHoXh7ERlqGuWuePvq-a28iqTaYbswwGnjE6sUs-hUZB4/w480-h640/toptennetflixrecs8.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>7. PERFECT MATCH</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">If you're as much of a reality TV tragic as me, you will love this trashy excuse for a show. Featuring familiar faces from Love Is Blind (Shayne, Bartise, Damian), The Mole (Dom, Will!), Too Hot To Handle (Francesca, Georgia, Chase)) and The Circle (Joey, Nick, Chloe)) among others, it's guilty pleasure territory as these personalities compete to 'match up' and stay in the house to ultimately be the winners of Perfect Match.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPMQKpM076CsFUkz0V-O2wkFGXHmif2h657b9ociB_mVSoFaJUMyo6bkzV91p_gOC_yiDId6XkYd2lk50TMWRPdfpVuX0PH2T0sxTqVCcEQWOnz_xWUwHUcwYX67wWypy6_S3jRjslLYlx2gmcr0WEh_HovJp7BcEXqyM5lbq184WffdBWyqvmjLUN/s4032/toptennetflixrecs9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPMQKpM076CsFUkz0V-O2wkFGXHmif2h657b9ociB_mVSoFaJUMyo6bkzV91p_gOC_yiDId6XkYd2lk50TMWRPdfpVuX0PH2T0sxTqVCcEQWOnz_xWUwHUcwYX67wWypy6_S3jRjslLYlx2gmcr0WEh_HovJp7BcEXqyM5lbq184WffdBWyqvmjLUN/w480-h640/toptennetflixrecs9.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>8. BLING EMPIRE: NEW YORK</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">No thinking required with this one, making it the perfect show to throw on in the background. Fans of Bling Empire will notice along with the new city, we are also introduced to a whole new cast of wealthy Asian-Americans, with only one familiar face, Dorothy, featuring in this spin-off series. I challenge you not to fall in love with Blake, possibly the only somewhat-genuine person in the show. Be dazzled by opulence, jewels, outlandish outfits and ridiculously bougie parties as we follow the rich and famous around New York.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL4JDlgWPzIi8Bm4J7bDgzzipFSgR9roFopXidA2qtebIr1xllCXCyrfxt5zu2qAGZ-57G6EsCzhQK2s1Fpqibi2kDzy8a5CcRULpwLGlcQnppFv-8LtTTZKkuSNY7Wb4_yUPWhN64-GadiPhXYfHLDB9d88TpHGa8clNzYRKOF4phHlT8MXjQBzuC/s3910/toptennetflixrecs7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3910" data-original-width="2932" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjL4JDlgWPzIi8Bm4J7bDgzzipFSgR9roFopXidA2qtebIr1xllCXCyrfxt5zu2qAGZ-57G6EsCzhQK2s1Fpqibi2kDzy8a5CcRULpwLGlcQnppFv-8LtTTZKkuSNY7Wb4_yUPWhN64-GadiPhXYfHLDB9d88TpHGa8clNzYRKOF4phHlT8MXjQBzuC/w480-h640/toptennetflixrecs7.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>9. PHYSICAL: 100</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">This is a great reality show to watch with your family, as I'm sure kids will get a kick out of all the various gruelling challenges, as 100 of the top physical athletes in Korea compete to find out who is in the best physical shape. This is dubbed over and the English translations are a hoot, too.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFtGi28Pwh9niwT6vmoIvSltguDmMHsXwSjyp-5e_9OYaiLw5WGJC3z4mUovm1ey-IvxkwXDN5GzFethTnPQMNpFvi56cE8EliZMKIl0Z2qTT1FTcpJCVxHzU4DdBcHTzLEzkzLoammpG2Ybr2x0BngEtWuDMjocVtFzCvQ9FFMDSLN0rLxYHAULEv/s3886/toptennetflixrecs1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3886" data-original-width="2914" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFtGi28Pwh9niwT6vmoIvSltguDmMHsXwSjyp-5e_9OYaiLw5WGJC3z4mUovm1ey-IvxkwXDN5GzFethTnPQMNpFvi56cE8EliZMKIl0Z2qTT1FTcpJCVxHzU4DdBcHTzLEzkzLoammpG2Ybr2x0BngEtWuDMjocVtFzCvQ9FFMDSLN0rLxYHAULEv/w480-h640/toptennetflixrecs1.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>10.

It follows a group of artists, influencers and entrepreneurs in Byron Bay as they work, socialise and try to make their dreams come true. If you can stand the crystals, flowy fashion and hippie-dippy shit, this is an easy to watch and fascinating, if not highly-scripted, piece of Aussie reality TV.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Happily I am now up to date with Bling Empire off this list of <a href="http://maxtheunicorn.blogspot.com/2022/10/unfinished-business.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Unfinished Business</span></b></a> and am continuing with Dynasty.

I've never felt as burnt out as I do right now. This week has been hectic to say the least and I really need a break. Monday I published my <a href="http://maxtheunicorn.blogspot.com/2023/02/boost-lab-serum-haul.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">blog post</span></b></a>, took a 1 hour 20 minute each way bus trip to a food invite collab, came home, then got another post published on Instagram from an <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CpKOfWhPBmZ/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">event</span></b></a> I'd attended over the weekend. Tuesday I had to prep all work for a beauty collab, put away so many groceries from an online delivery and post my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CpMfRlcywlf/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Boost Lab Haul</span></b></a> photo on Instagram, as well as prep work for Monday's food collab. Wednesday I posted Monday's <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CpPA8ZYP7kh/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">food visit</span></b></a> collab to Instagram, washed my hair and continued working on my beauty collab, writing the caption and researching some hashtags. Thursday I went into town and edited some photos for another post. By this stage I was mentally exhausted and put off posting my beauty collab photo, but did do some Stories for it. I also did a quick giveaway on my food account Stories of some codes for fairy floss I was gifted but couldn't use. Friday (<i>edit - the day I wrote this</i>) I finally got my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CpTiTeTy9eC/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">beauty collab</span></b></a> work finished and posted on Instagram, did some housework, did some prep for a food collab I'm going into the city for tomorrow and wrote this blog post. I think I might be taking on too much!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">This week's post features the newly released <b>Colour Bomb</b> shades from <b>Ulta3</b>. I got sent these nail polishes in December last year, but the launch date kept getting delayed. Finally I can post about them! I love these pretty colours, and decided to apply all of them in the one epic mani lol.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwa2G7fGzzV7mEZ9fNv6ym8UpKj_1hKd2I65W8wkeF5GSBsCjQIXxzEIsnT8oV6XUZ5kHNDbGpvw1kkJi0L2HehzsW9lpS34tK1FVIG-4jDCljGSxYzOmVVJY774SB2_2DySx0VUDiTdBxxV8JR2RtP8mTTDfMzFaf6cJj2Bg6In73THQ8RV6GqY6h/s3697/ulta3colourbomb3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3697" data-original-width="2773" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwa2G7fGzzV7mEZ9fNv6ym8UpKj_1hKd2I65W8wkeF5GSBsCjQIXxzEIsnT8oV6XUZ5kHNDbGpvw1kkJi0L2HehzsW9lpS34tK1FVIG-4jDCljGSxYzOmVVJY774SB2_2DySx0VUDiTdBxxV8JR2RtP8mTTDfMzFaf6cJj2Bg6In73THQ8RV6GqY6h/w480-h640/ulta3colourbomb3.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">These colours are playful, fun and light-hearted and are inspired by the nostalgic tones of the early 2000's.

I'm coming at you today with my Boost Lab Serum Haul. Actually it's just three serums, but that still counts, right? I bought these directly from the Boost Lab website. I am deeply in love this brand, so was thrilled to see the 'Shop Bundles & Save' section. My goal was to replace my empty Boost Lab 2D Hyaluronic Hydro Boost Serum with another one, and possibly pick up their Multi Peptide Anti-Ageing Serum, which I'd be eyeing off, but things didn't go according to plan. Read on to find out why!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">First of all, can I say what a huge mistake I made buying the Skin Physics Polyglutamic Intensive Hydration Serum to replace my beloved Boost Lab Hydro Boost Serum, just because it was on special at Priceline for basically half the price of the Boost Lab hydrating serum. It has issues, eg it pills up under every product, and just doesn't come close to the Boost Lab one. I can only use it in my nightly skincare routine (before bed), when the pilling is annoying but doesn't matter as much. Regrets, I have a few!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">So back to my Boost Lab haul! I knew I wanted a new Hydro Boost Serum, and thought the Shop Bundles & Save section would be the perfect opportunity to try more of their serum range. They normally retail for $29.95 each, but the bundles I was looking at contained three assorted serums and were $62.90. This is a great deal since two serums alone is around $60. Plus they have free shipping on orders over $50 and all orders included a free gift. <i>{edit - I didn't get the free gift with my order, so I emailed them about this}.</i> <i>{Updated Edit - apparently if you have pop-ups disabled you won't see the free gift offer pop up to add to cart which is what must have happened. BL were lovely over email and are sending me the free gift}.</i> And I had a code for $10 off for a first time order. Winning! The only problem was there was no bundle that contained both the Hydro Boost and the Multi-Peptide Anti-Ageing Serums! So I had to settle for another of the bundles. I'll try the Anti-Ageing Serum eventually!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Here's what I got....</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3aIiW1FM7fwN_Ff_4FNPFFk-y1xhnN0MjuuA6Smc_3e7dd_a_dMBLMxZp4rjxBjob2PLR1zWLArqcjSrWKUT5VTEYOsj7Cn-Jh0Tm9X6P116CR8V7zCKAEBfCh3kA10vQRHAQk8BJCfR0ECIrRiB4m0eV7hZOH7XS9LsQY1UHfQDOp1IUwva59J4B/s4032/boostlab2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3aIiW1FM7fwN_Ff_4FNPFFk-y1xhnN0MjuuA6Smc_3e7dd_a_dMBLMxZp4rjxBjob2PLR1zWLArqcjSrWKUT5VTEYOsj7Cn-Jh0Tm9X6P116CR8V7zCKAEBfCh3kA10vQRHAQk8BJCfR0ECIrRiB4m0eV7hZOH7XS9LsQY1UHfQDOp1IUwva59J4B/w480-h640/boostlab2.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>2D Hyaluronic Hydro Boost Serum</b></span><br /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">This serum claims to intensely hydrate, plump the skin and restore the skin's barrier. It contains two forms of bio-hyaluronic acid and pro-vit B5. I love love love this serum! It feels amazing, is really hydrating and is such a great base under moisturiser and makeup, as it doesn't pill up at all. I'd highly recommend trying this if you have dry skin, love the look and feel of plumped up skin or just want a really good hydrating serum.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>Vitamin C Brightening Serum</b></span><br /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">This serum claims to brighten and firm, even out the skin tone and clear dark spots. It contains multi-vitamins (Vit C, B3 and Vit E), Pentavitin and natural Bisabolol. I'm interested to see how I go with this, because the last brightening serum I tried made me break out. You can read all about my experience with the Garnier Skin Active Vitamin C Brightening Serum <a href="http://maxtheunicorn.blogspot.com/2023/02/review-garnier-vitamin-c-brightening.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">here</span></b></a>.</span><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>Retinol Night Renewal Serum</b></span><br /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">This serum claims to intensely hydrate, plump and firm the skin and total rejuvenation. It contains retinol, sea fennel extract, Bisabolol and aloe vera juice. I'm keen to see the results of this and I'm hoping it feels lovely to apply, just like the Hydro Boost Serum.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">I'm so happy with this haul!

I'm going to drop a #truthbomb and say I really wasn't feeling the blog last week. I wasn't motivated to write today's post and basically just opted for a manicure post because I can whip those up pretty quick. Blogging is one of my hobbies and it's meant to be fun for me. So I'll keep this one short and sweet and fingers crossed next week I'll be more excited about writing.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYx2dPn0lGWyX5u0LXPbOVbn_lVOKpXxG1wpGbF-myOynCnufMrWa1dq3G2NRYdPKeDldGdCMwAAyLDhpb5aFfOyMMi6OBHZrm11DhqO1YRBx8Pa12baPcpRYJzKp1plLBdiuvRCR0puYtn8m20fftJtMEoRS03G3By9KqL3sUDDhHjZXwvK3tosyF/s3704/frostycactus3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3704" data-original-width="2778" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYx2dPn0lGWyX5u0LXPbOVbn_lVOKpXxG1wpGbF-myOynCnufMrWa1dq3G2NRYdPKeDldGdCMwAAyLDhpb5aFfOyMMi6OBHZrm11DhqO1YRBx8Pa12baPcpRYJzKp1plLBdiuvRCR0puYtn8m20fftJtMEoRS03G3By9KqL3sUDDhHjZXwvK3tosyF/w480-h640/frostycactus3.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The shades I've chosen for this mani reflect my current mood: dark and kind of left of field but still sparkly 'cos I always like shiny things. I'm using <b>Ghost Cactus from Julisa</b> on most of my nails with my ring finger painted with <b>Frosty from I Scream Nails</b> as a feature nail. I had to do 3-4 coats of Frosty as it was way more see-through than I anticipated! I've applied two coats of Ghost Cactus.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Looking at the Julisa website now, my bottle must be quite old, because the current ones are completely redesigned and are no longer square. I like this fat, square bottle though. Ghost Cactus is a signature mermaid shade featuring a silvery blue opaque base with holographic glitter. To me it looks a bit green. I kind of wish it was more black.

Recently I was sent a new Garnier serum to trial, so I thought I'd share my thoughts about it. I wasn't obligated to post on my blog, but since I'd already formulated my opinion (and my readers are predominantly beauty lovers) I thought it would be a good idea.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>Product Claims:</b><br />~ Immediately after use skin looks healthier and more radiant<br />~ From 6 days, skin appears brighter, more even and the density of dark spots appear reduced<br />~ From 8 weeks, dark spots (including acne marks) appear reduced by -43%<br />~ Designed to suit all skin types and tones, and is dermatologically tested<br />~ Vegan formula & approved by Cruelty Free International</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><i>Garnier Vitamin C Brightening Serum contains 3.5% Vitamin C + Niacinamide + Salicylic Acid. It also contains Lemon Extract, a powerful superfood known for its brightening properties. The size of this bottle is 30ml.</i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The <b>Garnier Skin Active Vitamin C Brightening Serum</b> was a mixed bag for me! I really enjoyed the texture and consistency of the serum and how it felt as I applied it. The fragrance was lovely and it absorbed into my skin pretty quickly. During this time my skin was tacky, so I did have to wait before I continued on with my skincare routine, and you definitely need a moisturiser between this and your makeup. It does, however, sit well under moisturiser and makeup, as I didn't experience any pilling of the product. This serum did brighten my complexion, however it also caused my skin to break out, something it hasn't done in years. Even though I only got three small pimples, this was three more than I wanted. So that was disappointing. I don't have any dark spots, so I can't say whether or not this serum worked in that aspect. My skin also dried out after a few days using this serum. Overall, I like the brightening effect and it's a pleasant serum to use, but it's not suitable for me due to the breakouts and dryness it caused.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">In summary, I wouldn't recommend this serum and now that I've trialled it, I'll stop using it and go back to my tried and true skincare routine. But keep in mind, even though this particular serum didn't work for me, it still may work for you!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>GIVEAWAY REMINDER!

It's the first day of Term 1 for my son, so here I am trying to change from carefree holiday mode back to school routine mode. I definitely feel better when I'm organised though, so having structure in my day will do me good. I've been making an effort to fill out my Diary, get on top of my emails and declutter the house, so I'm feeling positive. I don't mind being busy, but I'm fast approaching my collab limit for how many I can take on at once before I get overwhelmed. Going on a short getaway has me enjoying the relaxed life a bit too much and now I have to snap out of it!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Today's post features my recent FreezeFrame haul. I'm a huge fan of Freezeframe, because they make products that address the exact skincare concerns I have, and they work so damn well. They also have some amazing sales from time to time, one of which I took advantage of to purchase this latest round of goodies. This should keep me going for quite some time hopefully! Let's take a look at the products.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivLF5g98ifIHkqSZBaKyFx2VcmKub63ZIgmDIiPrYdMXuDyZc1xbb32qRoYGVClU380HLlZUGm2YlEDiLI22tiFw8rXeJLu4XrEDh17JG3yCXYHT9PZcHtZaGCN0DrXBwllsOcuPzn4MqoyTTgXCd4X_mnHMyokge9-Ozw9TfXzWHJyFyBDE4fmAoN/s1687/freezeframe3.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1687" data-original-width="1125" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivLF5g98ifIHkqSZBaKyFx2VcmKub63ZIgmDIiPrYdMXuDyZc1xbb32qRoYGVClU380HLlZUGm2YlEDiLI22tiFw8rXeJLu4XrEDh17JG3yCXYHT9PZcHtZaGCN0DrXBwllsOcuPzn4MqoyTTgXCd4X_mnHMyokge9-Ozw9TfXzWHJyFyBDE4fmAoN/w426-h640/freezeframe3.png" width="426" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>Revitaleyes</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">This is my favourite ever Freezeframe product. It's a multitasking gel that improves deep wrinkles, chronic puffiness and serious dark circles. I have all three of these, so to have found a product that addresses all my issues (instead of having to use three separate creams) and leaves my under eye area looking its best ever... well it's a massive gamechanger. I wrote about my desire to keep using Revitaleyes in my <a href="http://maxtheunicorn.blogspot.com/2022/01/2022-beauty-goals.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">2022 Beauty Goals</span></b></a> post, and I certainly have. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking to improve wrinkles, eyebags or dark circles. For this purchase it was a bundle deal of Revitaleyes + Eyelid Lift and you could purchase any additional product at 50% off, so naturally I bought another Revitaleyes.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>Eyelid Lift</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">So this is a 'new to me' Freezeframe product that there's been a lot of hype about on social media. I was quite excited when I saw the bundle deal of this plus Revitaleyes, and thought it was the perfect time to try it. I don't really have hooded or droopy lids per se, but I guess things can always be improved and I'd like to see if a bit of an eyelid lift makes a difference. I haven't tried this yet, but I'm hoping it opens up my eyes a bit and makes me look more awake!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>Wrinkle Block</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">This is my second tube of Wrinkle Block, and honestly, it lasts forever. I've had my first one so long most of the label has rubbed off and I still haven't finished it. Maybe I should start using it all over my face to use it up quicker, as currently I only use it under my eyes, and not even every day. It's really good though, if you're looking to improve fine lines, moderate and even deep wrinkles. It also works really well under makeup, providing a nice hydrated base on which to apply concealer or corrector. Also, this was a free Gift With Purchase for the first 200 orders. Score!</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><b>Glow Getter</b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">I'm happy to try any Freezeframe product I haven't tried before, so I'm looking forward to using this Glow Getter sample, even though it is quite tiny! I've just tried finding more information about this on their website, including using the search function and nothing comes up, so I don't know if this has been discontinued or is just out of stock. From the tube packaging though, it's a sleeping mask with deep sea repair for deep wrinkles, firming and luminosity.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgj5egE7qUzV4K1R4yXbQ8eDzISvxDB0rvyZNDQOHq2PHzYEdkPehkC4UenEXj9Cy4rKVrzDRzCIF0TX3qc7IeeQGc8HBDts1LjPDV31_gR4rTbmiWyuwaHlzHE5yZYndoR-bflV7gB45X0Y5mS_Ed7fE5ubz1MG6Vp14zgHMglBay1a_mirtcgWAS/s4032/freezeframe1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgj5egE7qUzV4K1R4yXbQ8eDzISvxDB0rvyZNDQOHq2PHzYEdkPehkC4UenEXj9Cy4rKVrzDRzCIF0TX3qc7IeeQGc8HBDts1LjPDV31_gR4rTbmiWyuwaHlzHE5yZYndoR-bflV7gB45X0Y5mS_Ed7fE5ubz1MG6Vp14zgHMglBay1a_mirtcgWAS/w480-h640/freezeframe1.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Pumpkin did not give a stuff about my attempted photoshoot!

Last week we went to Victor Harbor for a short holiday, staying at a Country Club where we relaxed and played golf. It was amazing to get away during the school holidays, especially since our air conditioning at home died and it's been stifling in the house during this super hot Summer weather. It looks like it won't be fixed for another few weeks too, because they have to ship parts in and it's not an easy fix. Swear words! <i>Edit - it now looks like the best solution is to completely replace the air conditioning unit which will be $9000+. Fantastic!</i></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Anyway, I decided to take a few mini-sized products I've been wanting to use up on the trip with me (along with some bigger products). It's part of my never-ending efforts to declutter the house (and my beauty collection). Here are the ones I managed to finish up whilst away, and my brief thoughts on them.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsxc3Ne_fN4fdSNYYNRpAvcj0anyuciutOHc210pDfaBBA4bHWh001cp08a3Dfgbcq5li32H7owvCkEOqA4h3sGtTU-C9ci68fK1aKVg3XJcQNgTZNcC920aRe9mcFh9ti5Z1HnxtSXnnpPgGFBZ6Oz_S3ojQ_eQ5vbaKIi9WQpWoaNq0AvNK7JXG5/s3883/holidaysempties2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3883" data-original-width="2912" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsxc3Ne_fN4fdSNYYNRpAvcj0anyuciutOHc210pDfaBBA4bHWh001cp08a3Dfgbcq5li32H7owvCkEOqA4h3sGtTU-C9ci68fK1aKVg3XJcQNgTZNcC920aRe9mcFh9ti5Z1HnxtSXnnpPgGFBZ6Oz_S3ojQ_eQ5vbaKIi9WQpWoaNq0AvNK7JXG5/w480-h640/holidaysempties2.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Lancome Tonique Confort Rehydrating Comforting Toner</b></span><br /><span style="font-size: medium;">I love the slightly jelly consistency of this pink rehydrating toner and really enjoyed using it. This came in a Lancome Gift With Purchase. The perfect size product to take away on holiday.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Kiehl's Retinol Skin Renewing Daily Micro Dose Serum</b></span><br /><span style="font-size: medium;">This felt really nice upon application and seems more gentle than other retinol serums. There was no initial stinging effect and my skin looked really good the next morning.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>The Body Shop Moringa Body Butter</b></span><br /><span style="font-size: medium;">I adore this scent and it lasts for ages on the skin.

It's fragrance free and has a non-shiny finish.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Revlon Colorstay Skin Awaken 5-In-1 Concealer</b></span><br /><span style="font-size: medium;">I love this concealer for under my eyes and have already replaced it with another tube. The formula has caffeine and Vitamin C and really helps cover my dark under eye circles. I love it.</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">So it may not be that many, but I'm happy with what I could finish. It makes it easier to sift through everything, see what I've got and what I want to concentrate on using up next. Do you use any of these products?</span></p><p><br /></p>Di from Max The Unicornhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11332354464530426852noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9180777751002123877.post-28231099196985400252023-01-16T07:13:00.003+10:302023-01-16T07:13:34.688+10:30Manicure: Bourjois 1 Seconde Gel in 07 Fuchsia<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNQdXU_Swo5EQHzNF6w3Q5C5mZflbE9hSVv3ixnyIvb69PN45OpUNxzN4ZKo0NSp6gGiP6J8PGHZPtIdkKu6tQHmJZmI7RxzqqbqoDh8Pg6WMUbXchyuwOOPVaON260QL6EqlLSqLdlGx9fIPFxoyO8mW-Ma5GWsmg9l8PWaVD8ubZ9AlJDn4A2kKQ/s4032/bourjoismani1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNQdXU_Swo5EQHzNF6w3Q5C5mZflbE9hSVv3ixnyIvb69PN45OpUNxzN4ZKo0NSp6gGiP6J8PGHZPtIdkKu6tQHmJZmI7RxzqqbqoDh8Pg6WMUbXchyuwOOPVaON260QL6EqlLSqLdlGx9fIPFxoyO8mW-Ma5GWsmg9l8PWaVD8ubZ9AlJDn4A2kKQ/w480-h640/bourjoismani1.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Hi guys! A quick look at my latest Mani today; it's shade 07 Fuchsia from Bourjois, a gorgeous quick drying gel texture nail polish. I actually surprised myself by trying a pale pink/white shade over Christmas, which is not my jam, although it did grow on me. I naturally gravitate towards bright colours, hot pinks, dark shades or reds so I'm proud of myself for stepping outside my comfort zone. Did you know that light coloured nails make your skin appear more tan? I didn't know this! Check out Essence Sugar Blush, from their gel nail colour range on my nails (pictured below).</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisejivol6tc4iPJMcLv-cRx55dzk6qzVRkv-8_5FFyY0xKYxu8EX_Bj6_faEe2hfu5LUlYACi0_gcvU_t-ph8qYHFcZU2EBFsu8bS6Qzu_7prCPcUKB6ACuJrToZ-difGblhwk5XOdxqyIyMra1mzFLrAEttNqpOCYHqzBippRxElR6Gslt_aNcfcc/s3780/bourjoismani4.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3780" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisejivol6tc4iPJMcLv-cRx55dzk6qzVRkv-8_5FFyY0xKYxu8EX_Bj6_faEe2hfu5LUlYACi0_gcvU_t-ph8qYHFcZU2EBFsu8bS6Qzu_7prCPcUKB6ACuJrToZ-difGblhwk5XOdxqyIyMra1mzFLrAEttNqpOCYHqzBippRxElR6Gslt_aNcfcc/w512-h640/bourjoismani4.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Anyway, onto my current mani, Bourjois 07 Fuchsia. I am loving this! New year, new shade to shake things up, right? This is so bright and cheerful. A perfect way to start 2023 (although yes, we are already halfway through January lol). I did a massive nail polish declutter last year, so have a lot less shades to choose from, but still more than enough. It's really hard not to buy new nail polish! <a href="http://maxtheunicorn.blogspot.com/2022/01/nail-polish-declutter.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Click here</span></b></a> to read about my huge nail polish declutter.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinawRi_gx2IxVbw7QLxX0IF7gX3VZLdyghLx8nN1A9tYZfaMDl_NMXhdh-qFoBT6kRyApgd1h05u5lbwuLzLqqioTdVpnst_nvsQvEJsfJO-wW9hZ4dRDJIWiYHDfSe8PUY3PB3ktJhp6xg40e0DN09yCbRzd6HCwxCHisX8BBCY8lJnd7Y0sv0NXW/s4032/bourjoismani3.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinawRi_gx2IxVbw7QLxX0IF7gX3VZLdyghLx8nN1A9tYZfaMDl_NMXhdh-qFoBT6kRyApgd1h05u5lbwuLzLqqioTdVpnst_nvsQvEJsfJO-wW9hZ4dRDJIWiYHDfSe8PUY3PB3ktJhp6xg40e0DN09yCbRzd6HCwxCHisX8BBCY8lJnd7Y0sv0NXW/w480-h640/bourjoismani3.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">I used just one coat and didn't use a top coat because I can't currently locate it haha. I probably should buy a new one. Also when it appears this opaque after one coat I usually don't apply a second layer as my tendency to apply thick means the second coat will probably smudge and ruin the mani. I don't know how on earth people apply two coats <i>and</i> a top coat without it smudging! What do you think of this shade? Is it something you'd wear?</span> </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh82nPmIm8--aOBEFoxtomKqfDcFe3qImtkieauW9x-YXXWkdmHkBAyqf6klMCsw0JDvcnXzXxCg41_RsouM3lhJ0bHrGNiVqA1mKwC9dONP7PWAaBccPU7fX30FFMCirEmB2GoNq5jeQL_pFvS6vwnHBhrwXYBBTwP_9nlYGI-7fsCOHQ93eL9G6FP/s4032/bourjoismani2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh82nPmIm8--aOBEFoxtomKqfDcFe3qImtkieauW9x-YXXWkdmHkBAyqf6klMCsw0JDvcnXzXxCg41_RsouM3lhJ0bHrGNiVqA1mKwC9dONP7PWAaBccPU7fX30FFMCirEmB2GoNq5jeQL_pFvS6vwnHBhrwXYBBTwP_9nlYGI-7fsCOHQ93eL9G6FP/w480-h640/bourjoismani2.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: x-small;">Disclaimer: Essence Sugar Blush was PR gifted.</span></p>Di from Max The Unicornhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11332354464530426852noreply@blogger.com2
