OPI Katy Perry Collection

January 28, 2011

Following the release of the new OPI Katy Perry Collection, I knew I had to get my hands on a couple colours that had been released. Despite usually being very conservative with my nail colour choices, the black shatter polish really appealed to me for some reason.

After weeks of waiting, due to delayed shipments, I was able to locate the collection and obtain one of the last couple bottles in the city. I also picked up 'The One That Got Away' from the collection, cause it just looked so beautiful!!

shatter!


You'll notice in the picture with the shatter layered on top, my pinky finger seems to be lacking in the pink colour. This is what happens when you apply shatter when your base underneath isn't quite dry yet :( Shatter will also dry matte when applied, so make sure to seal it in with a top coat if you want it to last you longer :)

Pick up a bottle for yourself if you can!

Mixed Berry Cream Puffs & Chocolate Mousse

January 20, 2011

This past weekend, my parents had a get together with their friends at our place, so I decided to try out a couple dessert recipes that I love!

First up was cream puffs, but I did a variation on them, in which the cream was flavoured with fresh berries.




Second on the dessert menu was a decadent chocolate mousse.




So delicious. I want to make them again now!
Let me know if you want the recipes :)

Lunchtime: Rodeo Burger

January 20, 2011

For lunch today, Lisa and I decided to venture a little off campus and visit our nearby Rodeo Burger. Previous experience review can be found here




The burger was tasty, just as it was the first time I had been there. It took a little longer for them to make though, since they didn't have an assembly line going, haha.
