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,

My Eyeko Package :D

I received my Eyeke Packaage 2 weeks ago :D.
It was well packaged and everything looked awesome.
There was just one problem, they forgot to include some products that I ordered!
I ordered the Magic Set (that's the Magic Mascara + the Magic Eye Liner).
So I contacted them saying some products were missing, and the next day I got an email from Eyeko saying that they were sorry, they will send me the missing items, and if I would let them know when the package has arrived.
I think their customer service is really good.

Anyway, here's what I got:


From left to right:
-Cosmic Polish
-Indigo Polish
-Lilac Polish
-Nude Polisj
-Vampira Polish
-Vintage Polish
-Raspberry Fat Balm

I haven't tried the nail polishes yet, but I think they look good.
The Raspberry Fatbalm I did try, and I loved it!
It smells very nice, like raspberries and makes my lips a natural dan bit dark raspberry colour.
The Fat Balm also hydrates my lips well, and I really had not expected that.

The Fat Balm I got for free, but when I've used it up I think I will order a new one, and possibly the strawberry one as well!

I will do a real review (with LOTD/swatch) later.
And I will let you know when I receive the Magic Set.

What do you think of Eyeko?

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?
