goodies from shiseido warehouse sale 2012

Didn't manage to make it to the Shiseido warehouse sale yesterday as I had hoped due to various circumstances but to make up for it B made sure I woke up early and even dropped me off this morning - despite getting there before 8:30, the line up had already grew past its third turn.  Luckily, I got in just after 9 before the crowd got to the makeup counter. As more and more people pushed and elbowed their way in, it became harder to keep level-headed and seeing most items of sale were not new to the warehouse sale, I came away with merely 100 bucks of damage - and half of that were Nars sets I've picked up as gifts, and half of the remainder were shampoos and more shampoos (12 bucks for enough to last a year - what a steal!).

Only two things were for myself: a nail polish named Night Breed (a black polish with silver glimmer), and a concealer in the shade of Custard. (I really wanted the duo concealer compact but Ginger seems waaay too dark and Vanilla/Honey were too light)

 



 

Purple Teal & Silver

 

Inspired by my dear friend's wedding theme colors - 

I painted my nails with different shades of purple, teal & silver

(well, mostly purples, because I only have one polish that resembles the greenish-bluish-teal that she had in mind) 

 

If I can recall the shades correctly:

Nicole by OPI - the Grape Debate (grape purple)
Nicole by OPI - Respect the World (greenish teal)
Revlon - Rock (royal purple/cooler tone than grape)
Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Xtreme - Celeb City (shiny silver)
Revlon - Gum Drop (pastel lilac)

Probably just a tad too funky to wear as bridal nails.

Maybe McDonald's felt pressured by KFC's popular popcorn chicken to expand its menu:
 

The box is cleverly designed to hold the dipping sauce in place - except it kept tipping over:

Verdict: not that great - in terms of value and in terms of taste.
I think it's the breading to meat ratio - or maybe it's the breading itself... but Chicken McBites just didn't deliver on the crunch.
