NOTD: a few nailpolishes

For todays NOTD I have used 2 layers My Best Friend's Tiara (290 Catrice), 1 layer of a clear polish with silver holographic glitters and round flakes (905 etos) and 1 layers of the Ultra Long Lasting Up To 10 Days Top Coat (Catrice).

I know the picture is awfull!

I made it with my Macbook in bad light, since my mom has borrowed my camera and I can't acces it right now.

I'll make some better pics the next time I'll post a NOTD.

Hope you'll like this one anyway.

Have a nice weekend,

Make-up Haul 2

So here's what I bought the second time.

There was a sale at the Trekpleister, 50% off of all make-up!

So I bought a lot.

I saved more than 20 euro's , great deal huh!?

From left to right:

*Catrice Ultimate Nail Lacquer 110 Poison Me, poison You!

*Catrice Ultimate Nail Lacquer 190 Wrapped Around My Finger

*Catrice Ultimate Nail Lacquer 140 Let's Mauve On!

*Catrice Ultimate Nail Lacquer 290 My Best Friend's Tiara

*Manhattan Lotus Effect Nail Polish 35 W

*Manhattan Lotus Effect Nail Polish 68 A

*Catrice Colour Gloss Lip Gloss 110 Glamorous Red

*Catrice Colour Gloss Lip Gloss 080 Secret Mauve

*Catrice Limited Edition Lip Gloss 01 Ocean Sunset

*Catrice Soft Eye Shadow Mono 250 White Silk

*Catrice Soft Eye Shadow Mono 110 Vanilla Cream

*Catrice Soft Eye Shadow Mono 180 Moonstone

*Catrice Soft Eye Shadow Mono 120 Chili Chocolate

*Catrice Soft Eye Shadow Duo 200 Salt & Pepper

*Catrice Kajal Designer 130 Bright Violet

*Catrice Kajal Designer 100 Tropical Green

Needless to say, I'm a big fan of Catrice cosmetics.

I haven't tried everything yet, but I have tried the lip glosses Secret Mauve and Ocean Sunset, and I love them.

I haven't worn Ocean Sunset a lot, but it's a great lip gloss for summer.

Secret Mauve I call my Angelina Jolie lip gloss because it makes my lips look a lot fuller and it's a colour Angelina would wear.

I also tried the Eye Shadows Vanilla Cream and Moonstone.

They combine great, but I also love to wear Moonstone all by itself.

I really love Moon Stone.

The rest of the make-up I will test when I've completed the move from my mom's house to my own appartment!

Love,

Freya

Make-up Haul 1 (+ reviews and swatches)

I've done some shopping the last few weeks, but I was extremely busy, so I couldn't find the time to write a blog about them.

I moved all my furniture and most of my stuff on saturday, so now I have more time to blog :D.

This is what I got at a Dutch drugstore called Trekpleister:

*Catrice Blush Brush

*Catrice ...

*Catrice Lip Gloss 140 Melon Red

*Catrice Lip Gloss 150 Soft Apricot

I really love the lip glosses, especially ... , I've been wearing that one a lot!

Swatches of the lipglosses:

The swatches aren't that great.

The darkest one looks brown here, though it's more of a glittery orange.

It's not extremely opaque, more sheer and it complements my skin tone very well.

It also makes my lips look fuller (yay).

The lighter one is a light salmon colour that looks very sweet on the lips.

Since it's sheer it looks very good, if it was opaque it would have looked bad.

I will post same LOTD (lips of the day) of these lip glosses, as soon as I find out how I can photograph them wel.

I haven't tried the nail polish yet, so I don't know how I feel about that one yet, but I bet it's good!

I'm not a big fan of blusher, but I do like to use the blusher brush to put powder on my face and it works well for that purpose.

Have you tried some of these products?

Leave a comment if you have.

NOTD: Catrice: 050 The Pinker The Better

So here's my first Nails Of The Day :D.

I'm not very good with nail polish, so it doesn't look all that perfect, but it's good enough for me!

The colour of the nail polish isn't exactly the way it is on the photo.

In real life it's a hot pink.

I painted my nails with 050 The Pinker The Better by Catrice.

My nails have no base coat, 2 layers of 050 The Pinker The Better and 1 layer of Nail Expert Up To 10 Days Ultra Long Lasting Top Coat by Catrice.

I really love the color of The Pinker The Better.

I'm not a pink kind of girl, but I DO like hot pink, and hot pink also looks good with my pale skin.

I like that this nail polish has a shimmer in it, since it tends to look a bit more glamorous on me than a nail polish without shimmer.

It is the first time I have used the top coat and I really love that as well.

The nail polish and top coat combo dried really fast and it made the nail polish very hard.

Usually a lot of nail polishes can stay a bit soft for an hour or so, and therefore I always end up with marks in my nail polish, like finger prints, fabric impressions or dents.

With this top coat I get no marks in my nail polish at all, so that's really nice!

I think Catrice is a good nail polish brand.

The nail polish is 2,50 euro a bottle and the top coat is approx 3 euro.

Not a bad price for good nail polish!

What do you think of The Pinker The Better?

And have you tried any Catrice nail polish yourself?

Make-up Shoppings

Today I went for some retail therapy.

I went to two drugstores to shop for some make-up (again).

I was specifically searching for 2 gorgeous nail polishes by make-up brand Catrice in the colours:

240 Sold Out For Ever

and 250 I Sea You!

Sadly they were sold out (no pun intended) at both drugstores :(.

So I got some other stuff instead.

This is what I bought:

A Catrice nail polish colour chart, which was free off course.

Perfect Adapt Concealer by Catrice in 010 Light Beige

Forget it! 3 in 1 concealer by Essence

And some nail polishes, from left to right:

320 Back To Black, 260 Blue's Brother, 150 Big Spender Wanted! and 050 The Pinker The Better. (all by Catrice)

320 Back To Black (Black with silver shimmer.)

260 Blue's Brother (A Petrol kind of colour with silver shimmer.)

150 Big Spender Wanted! (A rose pink colour with silver shimmer and possible gold shimmer.)

050 The Pinker The Better (A hot pink with silver shimmer.)

You can' actually see silver shimmer in the polishes.

The shimmer turns the colour of the nail polish itself.

Only the shimmer in 320 Back To Black stays silver.

And some cute earrings:

So what do you think of the things I bought?

Do you own nail polish by Catrice?
