What a hit

My recipe section has become quite the hit with my readers. Anyway, thought I’d make some chicken quesadillas tonight, and post them up online. The photo will be not the best quality as I don’t have my digital camera here at my Boyfriend’s place, and I’ll be taking it with my Blackberry. So, check that out later on. I won’t be uploading it tonight as I’m going to a movie with my room mate. Perhaps tomorrow or Monday.

Have a good night!

NARS, MAC, Opi, Tweezerman, Chanel. Counters everywhere!

How did I NOT know there was a NARS counter at The Bay? I have to admit though, they’ve been doing quite a bit of overhauling and massive rennovations at the mall, and it’s just getting better. Last night I went to pick up some new Studio Sculpt Foundation from MAC (I have a review of the MAC foundations coming in a few days, in another entry), and I spotted the NARS counter directly across. After I was done purchasing my things, I immediately headed over there to look at some blushes. Mainly the two popular ones:  ‘Orgasam’ and ‘Deep Throat’. I was swatching them with my hand, and the generic cosmetic lady came over and asked if I needed help. That’s when she saw me looking at the two colors listed above. She went on this rampage about how something so sexual shouldn’t be named as a female cosmetic product and how she thought it was so wrong and all this jibber jabber. Okkk lady. That’s not how you sell things, especially something i was super excited about since a lot of people with different skin tones totally love it.

I was like O_o and just finished what I was doing, was a bit friendly to her then I was done my business there. I couldn’t handle it anymore. lol. What a weirdo. I think I’ll go back another time and have a longer look around.

Oppaaa!

Or, OPI in this case. I was looking in the mall  before my friend came to visit me and before I picked up my Sephora polish I posted two entries ago.  I went into one of the hair salons that sell OPI.  There was an abundance of colors to choose from. I loved them all, but couldn’t decide on one. But you know what? I didn’t buy them. I don’t think I was allowed to “test” them because I simply asked if I could, and the woman waved me over to her and she tested it out on a sheet of paper? Yeah, I’m not buying something that’s tested out on a sheet of paper, which resembles nothing like a fingernail. Frig that.

For my own finger nails I usually like something modest, and not too BLAM BLAM BAM “out there”. I reserve those colors for the tootsies. I was looking for a nice sheer pink. But not sheer enough that I need four coats for it to build up. I want a nice pink color where I can apply two coats and you can still KIND OF see the white tips of my finger nails, but not really. I don’t really like the Sephora color I have on my nails now, as it’s TOO pink. Not a nice shade of subtle pink/white/sheer. I have another polish from Sally Hansen, but you need 4 coats of the darn thing as it looks baby pink in the bottle, but comes out clear. It’s friggen garbage and it ‘crackles’ after a few days. I think it’s mainly because I apply so much bloody polish to try and make it a WEE bit opaque than it is. But I don’t want that. I want something that’s genuinely opaque and doesn’t require too much time or effort.

So, that being said — does anyone have any colors to suggest? (Reminder: light white–ish pinks, but not ugly light pinks. If that even make sense!) It doesn’t have to be OPI either. Just something that I can get in CANADA.

K thanks!
