EXCLUSIVE: Mariah Carey inspired nail polishes coming soon to O.P.I !


O.P.I has just announced the launch of 18 new limited edition holiday nail polishes inspired by international superstar Mariah Carey. I had a sneak peak at the new colours at the Olympia Beauty show and they are gorgeous! And also perfect for the festive holiday season. I spotted an assortment of red, burgundy, maroon and chocolate brown hues, along with glitter-packed gold, bronze and pearl shades which all looked fabulous!
The collection also features 6 new Liquid Sand polishes, which range from icy blue to frosted pink to sparkling graphite.


"Mariah Carey  is truly synonomous with the holiday season" says Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director, and I cant help but agree full heartedly with this statement. In all honesty I am obsessed with christmas, and by 'obsessed' I mean listening to "Jingle Bell Rock" on repeat mid May...



Here's a sneak preview of the collection:



Visions of Love || Warm Me Up || Wondrous Star



All Sparkly and Gold || Sleigh Ride for Two || Ski Slope Sweetie


All I want for Christmas is O.P.I || Cute Little Vixen || Underneath the Mistletoe


In my Santa Suit || I Snow You Love Me || Silent Stars Go By


Baby Please Come Home || Make Him Mine || Its Frosty Outside



My Favourite Ornament || Emotions || Kiss Me at Midnight


My personal favourite from the new collection is "All I want for Christmas is O.P.I" because of its gorgeous ruby red colour which brings back memories of the many happy Christmases I celebrated as a child.



So are you as excited for these new christmas shades as I am?
Tell me which polish you most looking forward to down below!

Beauty Blogger Tag!



Hello! Since I got a few new followers and also started writing some more posts I thought it would be appropriate to introduce myself a little more with Beauty Blogger Tag! Even though I was not tagged by anyone I will still do it just because I like it. If you want to do this or have done this in the past - leave a link in the comments, I would love to read your answers!






1. Is your hair naturally curly or straight?
My hair is naturally wavy, unfortunately If I try to brush? Frizz.


2. What is your natural hair colour?

I've dyed my hair a lot but my hair was originally a light auburn.


3. Do you dye it yourself or go to a salon?
My mum works at a salon so I go there :)


4. How often do you wash your hair?
Every other day is enough for me. I have an oily scalp but I make sure to not wash my hair too often otherwise my oil glands would be confused and make my hair greasy enough to fry chips on.


5. Do you wear the same style every day or change it?
I like a change but I usually wear my hair naturally wavy with wispy bits of hair tied back with bobbi pins.


6. Do you do your own mani/pedi or go to a salon?
My mum is a beauty therapist/hairdresser so she normally does my nails, unless Im feeling extra creative with nail art.


7. How often to you change your nail polish?
I only paint my nails for special occasions, vacations or events. I normally have Gel nails which last about 2 weeks.


8. Do you polish your toes in the winter, too or just in the summer?
Only in the summer. I don't bare my legs after September so I don't bother painting my toes.


9. How long does it take to put on your makeup?
Usually around 30 minutes before school or if I'm in a huge rush I can take 15 minutes and be ready to go. If I'm going out for something more fancy I take about 50 minutes.


10. What do you do first? Face or eyes?
I make sure to do my face first, as sometimes I find it difficult to avoid my eye area when I'm trying to blend or apply my powder .


11. Do you "collect" makeup or just buy what you need when you need it?
Since I'm only 18 I can't buy everything I want and just mainly stick to something I need. I'm sure I will start collecting more once I have a regular job/income.


12. How often do you wear false eyelashes?
I only wear them for very formal events and shows (I'm a performer!).


13. Do you do a full face of makeup every day?
For school - yes. I just feel a ton better with makeup on.


14. Do you wear makeup when you are home alone (or with family)?
Never. Why would I want to clog my pores even more, especially if I don't need it.


15. Will you leave the house without makeup?
No! But I do minimise how much I put on depending on the weather and if my acne is acting up.


16. How many high end products do you have?
Only my Estee Lauder Eyeshadow Duo in "Raisins, NARS Sheer Glow Foundation in "Gobi" and NARS Blush in "Orgasm". Im on a student budget at the moment so I mainly own budget buy's.


17. How often do you wash your makeup brushes?
I try to deep clean them every week but I tend to get lazy with that.


18. Do you plan your OOTD every night or decide when you are getting dressed?
I plan my outfits every so often when I have the time.


19. How often do you change your handbag?
I don't usually. I have a few but when I buy a new one I tend to stick to it. 


20. What time do you get up & go to sleep?
On school days I wake up at 6:00am and go to sleep at 1am. On the weekend, since I'm a night owl for sure, I go to sleep at 3-4am and wake up at around 12pm if I don't have work.


21. How often & when do you workout?
I don't, apart from walking to college! Although Im about to start up dancing again by buying some Zumba DVD's.


22. Left-handed or Right-handed?
Right-handed.


23. How tall are you?
157cm or 5'2"


24. Do you speak a foreign language?
I speak English rather well. But I also speak basic French, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, Mandarin and Italian.


25. How many pets do you have?
Just a dog but we're expecting to add a cat to the family soon.


 26. How often are you on Blogger?
Every day!


27. Do you read the comments posted on blogs?
Yes! Every one!


28. Do you keep a list of products to try as you see other posts?
Yes. I like to research and if I need a particular item and see a post I will put it in my wishlist so I could remember to buy it when I have money.


29. How did you come up with your blog name?
I've been called Annie for as long as I can remember and I admit, the name has more ring to it then "Anna". My last name is MACfarlane and I really wanted to incorporate my full name into my blog name, and of course MAC is one of my favourite makeup brands!


30. What kind of camera do you use for photographs?
For now I use my phone's Samsung Galaxy 4's camera and it works pretty well in my opinion, aswell as my Canon 650D when I have the time.


31. How often do you clean your house? (Daily, weekly, other)
I try my best to do that weekly but it usually doesn't happen.


32. What is your favorite colour?
Red ♥


33. What is your favorite beauty/fashion magazine?
I do like a monthly "COMPANY" magazine.


34. Do you swear?
Yes.


35. What are you doing with the rest of your day?
It's already 10.30pm so I'm going to watch a film then sleep.





Hope you liked it
