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?
