[Review] OPI Vintage Minnie Minis

Hello! This time I will impart my wisdom regarding a nail polish: OPI!

I bought this not too long ago, and I must admit, the main reason I bought it because it's very cute (LOL) and it's Disney!

So, as you can figure out, these nail polish came in a mini size (only 3.75 ml or 1/8 fl oz). It's inspired by Minnie Mouse, so the main color is red and pink! It came in 4 mini bottles in 1 pack.

Here's what it looks like:

So cute, right? There are 4 colors as I said, from left to right:

- The Color of Minnie

   You had this little mouse at "red".

- If You Moust You Moust

   You gotta pink what you gotta pink

- I'm All Ears

   Tell me how much you love this magenta shimmer

- RapiDry Top Coat

  Non-Yellowing. Ends smears, smudges, and streaks!

Here's a closer look:

 Let's discuss them one by one!

The Color of Minnie
Well, it's red. It's a quite bright red, but not yet orange. I wear this red for my Santa nail art. See HERE. I know on the pictures they look a bit orange, but in real life it's a very nice and flattering red. I really like this one!

If You Moust You Moust
This one is pink. The pink is really pink! At first I thought I'd be getting a nude-ish pink. I saw it in some blogs and somehow I got the impression it would be nude pink. That's why I was so shocked when I tried it. Either way, the pink is really pretty. Here they are on my feet. Again, pardon the hair!

 Oh, and I think it emits some sort of purple color under direct sunlight. I'm happy with this, because it will not bore me as much. So, it's pure pink while indoor, and pink-purple outdoor!

I'm All Ears
This is a really nice magenta color. It's the only one that has some shimmer / glitter in it.

The pic's pretty dark, but it's reaaally pretty in real life! Again, with this color I think there's a difference when you look at them outdoor. 

RapiDry Top Coat
It is what it is. A top coat that dries fairly fast. I think it does dries up fast, because when I was doing nail arts, I tried comparing this and the normal top coat (I used the one by The Face Shop). This top coat dried faster. But, maybe because of it, there's some gunk on the brush left so I have to clean them before putting the brush back into the bottle. And I think the texture is somewhat more viscous than normal top coat. Honestly, if I'm not in such a hurry I will prefer to use normal top coat over this. But sometimes when doing nail art I just can't wait to put the top coat on so that no dust or wind or anything can smudge my masterpiece. :D

Personally, I think buying nail polish in mini size is more beneficial. Since I'm using it only for myself, and maybe my sister, this is more economic. Kekeke.

However, the brush on these minis are also mini a.k.a. small, so sometimes it's harder to use and I have to brush and dipped it more times to cover the entire nail.

Overall, I really liked this version of OPI and I think red is a must have if you like nail polish. And also, the colors here are pretty rare but acceptable for your everyday look.

Repurchase? Umm, I would say yes only if I manage to empty these bottles. Because let's face it, we'll never run out of nail polish. And I would like to try other colors, too!

(I bought this for 150k)

Colette & Lola: Beautiful from the Inside Out

Hi, beauty lovers! Today I’m gonna tell you about a product I came across recently.

So my dad was celebrating his birthday on May 5^th, and I was thinking of throwing him a surprise. My idea was to surprise him with a birthday cake on midnight! Pretty standard, actually. But I wanted to make it a bit special, so I was in the market for a great cake.

My dad really loves chocolate. His taste bud is a bit off, he really can’t tell which food is good or bad unless they’re REALLY bad it’s just inedible. But somehow he knows he likes chocolate, and can tell which chocolate product is good and which is not so good.

So I was going to buy a chocolate cake that my aunt was raving about. I visited their store in Plaza Indonesia and found out that they’re closed! The other store was in Senopati, and when I called them nobody answered so I don’t know if they’re closed too or what.  I was so sad... O.O

Luckily, I did not despair much as I was actually eye-ing this new cake company I found on Facebook. Their name is Colette & Lola! What a cute name.

I browsed their website and found the perfect cake I wanted, called Charlie Brown. Again, so cute! Their cakes are named and decorated so beautifully, makes you wanna lick your screen once you see them.

And one more thing, they offer delivery! Yay! I can just wait at home for the cake to come.

So I called them and they asked what time should the cake be delivered. This is perfect, since I can arrange for delivery when my dad wasn’t around. I told them to come at the 4^th around 1 p.m. And they do come. And I almost squealed and jumped in front of the delivery staff. Why?

Let’s see.

Are you seeing what I saw? It’s so damn cute! It’s in baby blue, which is one of my favorite colors. Well, it’s not for me, but whatever! It’s pleasing for the eyes. It came with a card, a cake-guide book and 3 free cake pops! Cute, cute, and super cute! It was really a sight.

Here’s one from up close.

They provide straps so that you can carry them around easily. Love the idea! Because sometimes when I transport cakes they got smudged or ruined because they are not stable and really hard to carry around (normally people will bring lots of other things, like handbags and whatnot). But with this strap, the cake will be stable and can safely be transported.

And here’s the card. So thoughtful. I love thoughtfulness.

I’m not going to show you the message inside, because it was specialized just for me! Kidding. I’m one of the first buyers, so they sent me a thank-you card. Very thoughtful, right? You should buy one yourself and see what’s in it. I love thoughtful and nice cake people, not too business-y. Buying cakes are not all about business, people, it’s also about being nice and thoughtful. Okay. I might have said the word “thoughtful” too much. I’m gonna stop now. STAHP.

And finally, ladies and gentlemen, meet CHARLIE BROWN.

It's 61% dark chocolate ganache, crispy hazelnut wafer & cocoa devil sponge. Yum.

They asked me what I wanted for the wording. Kekeke. Pretty cheesy, I guess.

Sorry for the poor pics. I took these while preparing the surprise, minutes away from midnight, so I was in a hurry.

My first impression was: this cake smells really good. I left it open in my air conditioned room for maybe 5 mins, 10 mins tops while I took pictures and prepared candles. It was so fragrant that I can still smell it, though faintly, after an hour later.

This cake was really physically impeccable.

Here's when it's cut:

It was so friggin' delicious. The chocolate was... Heavenly. The texture smooth, with some crispiness from the hazelnut wafers! I wanna come home to this cake after a bad day and eat them mercilessly.

My father looked so happy. He, of course, had the first cake. The second the cake entered his mouth, he went big-eyed and said, "This is really good." And he ate like a 5 year old. LOL. My mom and sis and of course, me, loved it too!

Because it was midnight, and let's not fool ourselves, we do care about calories, we split the cake. One slice of heavenly chocolate cake for 2 people. It was sooo delicious, I'm sure everyone wanted a slice for themselves. After we finish the cake, we had a chat for quite some time. Funny enough, for the duration of the chat, everyone's hand keep touching the cake to eat fallen bits and pieces every now and then. LOL. Really can't get enough.

I had this again today after a long day at work. It really lifts up your mood. Of course, it's chocolate. And it's delicious!

I have to warn you, though. If you don't like chocolate, you might not like it. Or, it may turn you into a devout chocolate lover, who knows. LOL. In any case, Colette and Lola offers a wide variety of cakes, so if you really don't like chocolate, you can choose other cakes.

In the end, the surprise was a success! Thank you to Colette & Lola, and my mom and sis for helping me fooling my dad. LOL.

Repurchase? Yes! But I want to try other flavor, too!

5 out of 5 stars, literally death by chocolate. Love!

Oh, and sorry I didn't get to take pictures of the cake pops :( They were also cute and delicious. Actually they were meant to be pierced into the cake for decoration, but it was so cute I ate them first. LOL. There's an instruction attached to each cake pop on how to decorate the cake with it.

Here's Colette and Lola's info:
