Teeny tiny 3 2 go update, and some random stuff as well (as usual.)

Ok, my update:
The body butter: Done!
The shampoo: May still take a while
The shower gel/bubble bath thing: about 1 tenth left, and I will finish it this week.

I don't really know what to replace the body butter with, and as there are a lot of things going on with our emigration I don't really feel like caring about something as minor as that, as I already have enoughon my mind.

About the whole emigration: Everything is going great! Almost all boxes are packed with our stuff, the furniture we have taken apart, and the house is rather empty. Also, my Swedish is starting to stay in my head for a time longer than 15 minutes! Watch this: Hej, jag heter Eva och jag är fodd i Arnhem.
It means: Hi, my name's Eva and I was born in Arnhem
Awesome right?

Anyway... Today I had a break from the whole moving thing, and I went to Den Bosch with a friend. It was great, and ofcourse I had to go to the Lush store and bought...
- Butterball (for bathing)
- The Ex-Factor (for bathing as well)
- Each Peach (and Two's a Pair) (a massage bar/body lotion)
- Soft Coeur (another massage bar/body lotion)
- 2 tins to keep the massage bars in without having them melt all over everything I own

Also, I got two testers from the cashier:
Ultrabland, which is used to remove makeup with, and Charlotte's Island, which is like a self-tanning bodylotion, but the good thing about it is that you can rinse it off in the shower, so when you have used too much or something like that, it's no big deal. That's really handy for people as clumsy as I ^^

Luckily I had some money left after this lushious list (see what I did there? Lush... lushious... lush ious... ok, so it isn't funny. I tried.), so we went to the V&D shop, home to the Sephora! There, I bought 2 full-size O.P.I. nail polishes: one is called Ski Teal We Drop, which is a beautifull.. well.. teal, and the other one is a rather special polish, it's a matte black and it shatters! So you have to have a base color, pink for example, and then you put one layer of Black Shatter on top of it, this laquer shrinks or something, and this way it cracks, so you see the base color, it's really special and very awesome!

Then we went home and now I'm really tired so I guess I'll take a lushious bath (ok I admit: I really though it was funny.)

This was probably the last post in January, as tomorrow I'll be finishing packing, Monday we will go to Amsterdam because our plane on Tuesday is very early, so we don't want to risk being late due to traffic trouble.

Thanks for reading my blog everyone, I really appreciate it ^^

My favorite nailpolishes of 2010

Hi!
Long time no post right?
Well, probably you're used to this by now ^^
This article will be on my favorite nailpolishes of 2010. Just a list of the polishes I used most often, no pictures as I'm really tired and lazy so I don't want to swatch everything and stuff like that...
Here are my favorites:
Spring/summer:
Casuelle? 
No number on this color, but it is a hot hot hot pink, and it has these teeny tiny glitters in it, very pretty! It is one of the brightest colors I own. It is an awesome color, and I got many compliments wearing this polish.
Paris Memories 260
This is a creamy pastel purple polish, and with pastel I mean the softest type of purple I know. It is a very sweet and innocent color, and I could always wear it, also it works out great when you use this for nail art.
Paris Memories 259
A really light gray. Can´t say a lot about this beauty, it has made the same impression on me as the laquer mentioned above.
Astor Laque Deluxe 616 purple dream
This color is exactely what you would think of when you think about a purple dream: a light purple, with many mini glitters, and very wearable.
Cassy by Casuelle
 This is just summer in a bottle! Well, not in the bottle. In the bottle, it looks more like a kind of old pink with a golden sheen, but on your nails it's just a golden polish with a pink base, really pretty!

Autumn/winter:
Herôme Johannesburg 72
This is a kind of creamy chocolate brown color. Actually I'm wearing it right now! With a matte topcoat, that is. This is another versatile laquer, and it will always look pretty and sophisticated!
Paris Memories ?
Remember summer in a bottle? Well, this is christmas in a bottle! Sparkly christmas red, and just perfect ^^
L'oreal 118
This is a kind of coral colored polish, which lasts for at least a week, which I really like, as I tend to wear a polish for about a week due to laziness (a) It was exactly the same color as a cardigan I own, and as I like matching things, this was a great catch!
Color Cosmetic 09
Dawn-ish blue. Not midnight blue, but midnight with a touch of the morning sun. Poetic, huh? ^^
Rimmer 350 goldspun coral
This color is old pink, with loads of really small golden glitters, perfect! This one I wore a lot in the autumn.

And then, I ofcourse have my ultimate 2010 favorite.....
O.P.I Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous
I haven't had this polish for very long, in fact I believe I got this not even 2 months ago, but it's my 2010 favorite. It's black/grey, with glitters, kind of holo, and it look really awesome matte or shiny. THE perfect color. Totally adore this one ^^

Got to love nailpolish, right? ;-)

I went shopping yesterday...

... and came home with just 4 things, no clothes, but things I have wanted to buy for a very long time...

The first thing I bought, is an iPod Touch! I've wanted to buy this for ages now, and I promised myself that I could buy it in 2011, so no waiting, first opportunity I bought it, and I love it! It's great, the sound is very good, you can do pretty much everything you want to do with it! (exept texting, but that's what my phone is for, right?)

All the pictures in this article are made with my iPod, just so you know ^^

The next thing  I got was an Invito bag!

You can't really see it on the picture, but it's quite a big bag! I don't really mind though, I like having enough space so I can take all of my junk with me to school ^^

The next thing I got, was a huuuuge bottle of The Body Shop shower gel the pink grapefruit version. There is this limited edition action thingy, where you can get very big bottles of showergel and really huge jars of bodybutter, the showergel costing €9,- for 750 ml, and the bodybutter €18,- for... I don't know... All I know is that it's cheap, and that you should try scoring some before this action is done! =D
This is the bottle:
Huge, right? Right.

The last thing I took home with me on this small shopping tour (which was intentionally meant to be about 1 hour, so I did a good job in buying what I needed I guess ^^), was an awesome pink USB-stick, 8 GB, just for school and pictures and stuff.. so yeah... Well, I'm still going to share the picture, as it's PINK!
I say: pictureworthy!

That's it, not that much, but still though I should share this with you guys!

... and then it suddenly was 2011!

2011, finally it's here! It seems just yesterday that it was 2009 and everybody was counting down: ...4...3...2...1... HAPPY 2010!!
Yet, this already is more than a year ago.
Time flies when you're having fun, right?
Well, I don't have a lot to say, as I'm really tired and haven't done anything interesting yet this year ^^
I guess I could do a second article today about my 3 2 go 'challenge', but I haven't really got pictures, and I don't feel like taking any..
Oh well, I'll just do a short update in this article instead!
There is just about 1/6 left of the dove body butter, and this month I will try to finish it, but if that's impossible I will not take it with me to Sweden, I'll throw it away instead, as I've had it for about 1.5 year, and it says on the label that you have to finish it within 9 months after opening...
Moving on to the next product: the andrélon perfecte puntjes shampoo. I Still use it and I will keep using it, but it will probably be at least 2 months before this one's empty, especially now that I have a tester of a very good shampoo from dove, it's the intense repair shampoo and it makes my hair all soft and shiny, but I will try to finish the andrélon shampoo before using the dove one again. Oh well, I probably will make a few exceptions ^^
Then the last product: the I love... Mango and papaya bubble bath&shower crème. I use this one almost everyday, though I enjoy using my sweety pie jelly from lush as well, but meantime the bottle is almost half empty, I'd say there's still 5/8 left.

That's it for today, have a wonderfull 2011
