My Week in Hipstamatic...4

Queuing for a new phone. I didn't even want the 4s, I just wanted the 4 8gb. I still had to queue :(

I was rewarded with a strawberry cosmo

I discovered this week my cat is, in fact, a robot...

...but quite likes a bath

Chanel Quartz

I showed you Chanel's Peridot a few weeks ago and promised to swatch Quartz up, but then completely forgot. Thanks to my mum tweeting today asking about a nice grey, it reminded me I hadn't, so here you go!

Like Peridot, the application is very smooth, but does need a good two coats to get full coverage. Unlike Rouge Noir, it dries in about 2 minutes with no top coat!

It has an amazing colourful shimmer running through. It appears plain silver in some lights then with the tiniest flick of the wrist, the colours just jump out!

FOTD No7 Stay Perfect Eye Mousse in Plum

After raving about these eye creams a few days ago, I thought I'd do a quick FOTD with the Plum colour, which is by far my favourite.

Estee Lauder Enchanted Garnet Nail Polish

The Estee Lauder Christmas collection is very soon upon us and this year's offerings don't disappoint. There are 9 different products from Pure Crimson collection, gift bags including 3 from Michael Kors and a Swarovksi evening bag gift set, not to mention the Professional Makeup Artist Color Collection, that is £50 with any fragrance purchase. Seriously, christmas at Lauder is where it's at!

This is the only nail varnish in the Pure Crimson collection; Enchanted Garnet. Its a gorgeous blood red, with a pink undertone. When I first applied this, I was like "woah how did they do that, it's sparkly on my nails but not in the bottle?! Amazing!" Until I realised I'd applied it over the top of Chanel Peridot. I can confirm there is NO sparkle in this pretty red jelly-like polish.

It is however, very sheer & took a good 2-3 coats to get it looking like it's supposed to. The thinness did also expose all the little flaws in my nail. But I adore the colour so will be overlooking that & rocking this shade right through winter!
