Meet me on the Star Ferry!

I bough OPI "Meet me on the Star Ferry" just because of it's name :D I LOVE Hong Kong and every time I visit there, I want to use Star Ferry a few times. There is also tunnels and bridges between Kowloon (mainland) and Hong Kong Island but Star Ferry is just something special! If you ever visit this shoppers paradise (shops are open till 11 pm+ :D), visit Star Ferry too. It's even CHEAP. I don't understand why OPI didn't make anything named after the Victoria Peak.

By the way, if you know beauty bloggers from Kong Kong, please tell me. I'd love hear more about the local MU brands :)

Ostin OPIn Meet me on the Star Ferry-lakan ihan nimen takia :D Hong Kong on suosikkikaupunkini ja aina kun vierailen siellä, täytyy toki käyttää Star Ferryä! Onhan Hong Kongin saaren ja mantereen välisä toki tunneleita ja siltojakin mutta tunnelma lautalla on toki ihan erilainen :D Jos joskus vierailet tässä shoppailijan paratiisissa (kaupat auki melkein puoleen yöhön :D) kannattaa kokeilla myös Star Ferryä. On halpakin!



But finally, here is the nail polish ;) Unfortunately I couldn't catch the right color with my camera... It's really lighter, you can find better pictures from Kelly's blog here: Vampy Vanish. The color is medium metallic plum, quite hard to describe. I don't like this color much but if you like this kind of colors, you might like it more than I do :D

Mutta lopulta asiaan, tässä itse lakka ;) Valitettavasti näytti kaikissa kuvissa oikeaa tummelta... Vampy Varnishin Kellyn blogista (linkki yllä) löytyy parempi kuva. Sävy on aika erikoinen ja vaikea kuvailla, ehkä sanoisin metallinen vaaleahko luumu. Ei minun värini mutta ehkäpä sinä pidät tästä enemmän :D



Sorry about my super-dry cutcles :( The weather is just so cold here in the moment, about -20C/-4F and very windy. I live in southern Finland, but it was -41,3C/-42,3F in northern Finland last night.


More info about Star Ferry here (map is from their site) and Wikipedia (picture from there).

    Your poor cuticles. :( I apply shea butter on them everyday. It really helps. Even if it's not -20°C on here, mine are constantly dry. I crave for Spring!!

    (I can't believe how cold it is in Finland - yet I still adore Nordic countries)

    'Meet me on the Star Ferry' is the kind of color I LOVE on others, and you make no exception. However, if I had it I wouldn't find myself wearing it much. So... I skipped it.

    There should be a terrible snow storm this night :/ And I don't really like this polish, it's like Kinky in Helsinki: I got it JUST for the name :D I'll try something else tomorrow! This just is not "me", and it's definitely not "you" either.

    LOL I'm a beauty blogger from Hong Kong :)

    i'm currently on exchange in Denmark Copenhagen for 6 months. Speaking of OPI HK collection, I found the colors a bit weird, lol. they look kinda eccentric, I think with those color names they can come up with more 'original' colors. But I do like the Star Ferry though, i love the fact that it is so close to Facesss Tsim Sha tsui! lol perfect for MU-shopping.

    Do you have facebook or MSN/Windows Live Messenger? We can talk more about local MU brands in HK there if you want :)

Ihania uutuuksia Beautykolta

No niin, olen takaisin! On ollut kiireiset opiskeluajat ohi ja ehdin taas bloggaillakin. Instasta löydyn yritykseni tililtä, siellä on sekaisin töitä, kosmetiikkaa ja elämääni. Laita seuraantaan jos kiinnostaa: www.instagram.com/voimistaja . Seuraan seuraajia :) Mutta asiaan, olen tosiaan aivan ihastunut korealaiseen kosmetiikkaan ja löytäessäni Beautykon nettikaupan , on tullut taas vähän shoppailtua ihan Suomestakin käsin. Kaukoidän reissuilta näitä olenkin kantanut melkoisesti. Tuotteet on ihan itse ostettu ja lämpimästi suosittelen! Eyenlip on edullinen mutta laadukas merkki. Naamioista on jäljellä vielä tämä kosteuttava Hyaluronic acid: oikein miellyttävä käytössä ja tuoksuu taivaalliselta. Hinta ei päätä huimaa! 1,60€/ kpl ja löytyy useita erilaisia, pakettitarjouksena 10,45€/ 7 kpl. HolikaHolika on myös lempparimerkkejäni ja nämä hoitovedet ovat ihan mahtavat! Käytän ennen seerumia. Kosteuttava sininen on suosikkini mutta Vita virkistää kivasti aamulla, eli ei

Colored contact lenses - Freshlook Dimensions Caribbean Aqua

Sain Lenstorelta piilarit testiin ja mukava oli testata välillä värillisiäkin! En osannut itse päättää väriä, joten annoin Lenstoren valita :D Testiin tuli Freshlook Dimensions-linssit Caribbean Aqua-värissä. Linssit olivat väriltään yllättävänkin tummat, tummemmat reunoiltaan kuin keskeltä, omat silmäni ovat todella vaaleat. " FreshLook Dimensions värjätyt piilolinssit / kuukausilinssit CIBA Visionilta tehostavat ja vahvistavat silmien vaaleaa luonnollista sävyä. Piilolinssit soveltuvat sini-, harmaa- ja vihreäsilmäisille (tummasilmäisille suosittelemme FreshLook Colors tai FreshLook ColorBlends -malleja). Tummempi rengas iiriksen ympärillä lisää katseesi intensiivisyyttä (katso kuva ohessa). Huomioi, että väritulos riippuu omien silmiesi väristä, emmekä täten voi täydellisesti taata toivottua väritulosta. Linssit otetaan silmistä ja puhdistetaan ennen nukkumaanmenoa, otetaan käyttöön jälleen seuraavana aamuna ja korvataan uusilla kuukauden käytön kuluttua." Lensstore.fi

Mineral makeup mutiny!

Please join in Mineral makeup mutiny! "We will be providing lists of companies who are actually creating their own product, companies that offer both, and companies that are repackaging." And that great because it's sometimes hard to tell, especially if you have just started with MMU. Or just don't have same color already. Some companies I know are making their own mineral makeup: - Aromaleigh - The She Space - Meow - Fyrinnae - Dreamworld - mum mum's crafts - Sassy Minerals - LaurEss - Alima - Morgana minerals - Beautiful girl minerals - Everyday minerals - Lily Lolo - Elemental Beauty - Cory - SilkNaturals - Suds n sass - HiFi Cosmetics - Purely Cosmetics -Archetype -Evil Shades -Stardust Cosmetics (Stardust sells also "unblended pigments" and those colors are marked with *) -and MANY more :) For now on I'll always read what the company tells in their website! Do they really tell that products are formulated by the themselves or do they just "
