Shopping List

I went to the store the other day and got these products. I hope they'll be as great as I expect them to be :-)

Items:

Essence Multi Action Smokey Eyes Mascara 01 (Black)

Catrice Infinite Matt Up to 18h Make Up 020 Honey Beige

Catrice Limited Edition: Welcome To Las Vegas Liquid Eyeliner C01 Drama Queen

Catrice Limited Edition: Welcome To Las Vegas Duo Lipgloss C01 Lovely Sinner

Catrice Limited Edition: Welcome To Las Vegas Nail Polish C01 Lovely Sinner

Catrice Limited Edition: Welcome To Las Vegas Nail Polish C04 Drama Queen

I also had a look at the other items from this collection and though I liked a lot of them, I didn't consider them worth buying. This limited edition has two other nail polishes, a blue and a gold/yellow one, but I thought the colors looked too familiar to Catrice's After Eight and Sand Francisco, which I both already own and will review at some point. 

At first I thought Drama Queen (the black polish) was very much like Essence Vampire's Love Gold Old Buffy but luckily I was wearing that one and could compare them in store. They proved to be quite different, but I shall compare these at a later point in time.

Be seeing ya!

New But The Old, Sexy Kind Of Way

Yes, dear readers, another one from the Catrice Fall 2011 collection; no 560, 'Rusty But Sexy'. This color was also released as part of the Modern Muse limited edition in August of this year but shows up in the fall collection too. I'm not exactly sure what Catrice wanted to accomplish with that, but the good news is that this polish will be available for a longer while! :)

Dirty Lilac

I am a big fan of the 2011 Fall collection by Catrice and one of the new colors is Ultimate Nail Lacquer, no 630, 'Sing: Hey Dirty-Lilah!'. Gotta love their names too.

Make-up Love

As mentioned in this post, I was looking forward to the Vampire's Love trend edition by Essence. My local store was really late with releasing this trend edition so I was afraid I would miss out on it, but luckily I didn't! :-) Reviews will follow soon, but for now, here are the items I got;

Refresh

Long time, no see for which I'm sorry. Life has been quite eventful and between surgery and a dying laptop, I wasn't able to post any blogs, or do my nails a lot for that matter. I'm still recovering and getting my repaired laptop back in order, but I'm able to post again so here we go :) No nail polish this time, but a wonderful product nonetheless; Therme Skincare, Finn Sauna Shower Gel.

Frosted ASHley

Today I'll be reviewing Catrice's Ultimate Nail Lacquer, no 610, 'ASHley' with the Catrice Frosting Top Coat.

 

Living The Big City Life

New goodies! The Catrice Limited Edition Big City Life collection is awesome. The inspirational cities are London (yellow), Berlin (pink), Sydney (purple) and New York (blue). I got all four make-up palettes and absolutely gorgeous nail polishes. I will provide more pictures and reviews soon. For now though; hurry to the store to get yours if you want, because they're going fast and the collection is only available till half November.

Happy Friday!

OPI Goes Dutch!

I must say I'm pretty excited about this collection and not just because I'm Dutch! There are some very nice colors in this collection and OPI truly outdid themselves with the word puns :-) The nail polished will be in stores in February 2012 and will, of course, come to the Netherlands as well. I truly can't wait!
