Feeling drained!!

Tomorrow I will have a surgery for my bulging spider vein on my left feet. I think one of the pic. might show the "crawling tiny veins" around my left ankle as well.

I had those veins due to 3 close pregnancies and I am glad the insurance will cover the operation fee so it is not considered as cosmetic/plastic surgery.

Spider vein is not just not looking very glamorous on woman's legs but also it might endanger someone's life if left untreated. Here is an article about Varicose Veins: http://www1.uabhealth.org/UAB_HV/P08274

Since I am not feeling inspired to dress up and I sprained the very same ankle of left leg two days ago I only had the simplest outfit when going out this morning.

Today is girls day out.....my 2 little daughters.

Oscar Designer Challenge: Behind The Dress with Nick Verreos

I am happy to announce that I was asked to be the Host of the Oscars Designer Challenge for the 2009 Academy Awards.

Seven designers from across the US were chosen to design a gown for the Oscars Escort/Trophy Model for the 81st Annual Academy Awards. The public was allowed to vote online for the winning Designer and model.

I will host a series of episodes leading up to Oscar night when the winner will be announced LIVE on the Red Carpet.

26 shadow and blush pallette

I was very excited to find this palette on ebay for just £7.00 and only £6.59 for shipping from HK (seller- abestlife). I had seen many reviews of it and was eyeing it up on coastal scents for quite some time, however it was $21.95 on the coastal scents website and shipping prices from there to the UK are always ludicrous. So I ordered this palette along with the 10 blush palette and it came a few days ago. After swatching the shadows I was really looking forward to using them as there were some interesting colours and the payoff was pretty good. I even filmed a tutorial yesterday morning to post on my channel.

However, the shock came when I got home last night. I had been getting a strange headache all evening and my eyes felt sore and puffy. Not thinking anything of it I decided to just get to bed, but when I started taking my eye makeup off I noticed that the skin on my eyelids was red and patchy. I had obviously had an allergic reaction to these shadows and my eyelids were very sore and inflamed. Even this morning they were looking somewhat puffy and discoloured.

I wanted to make this post just to tell you guys to be careful! Of course I know the dangers of buying makeup on the Internet as you can never guarantee it will be of a good quality, especially when the price is so low. So, I guess getting a bargain is not always worth it. Do any of you have this palette and have you had any problems? Please let me know :).
