Marni by H&M

Don't you just love this collection? I saw the long version of the commercial on tv yesterday and I was pleasantly surprised. I made a collage of my favorites. Gorgeous model too, btw.

This collection will be available on March 8 at H&M.

'til next time!

Shopping Log

Because I didn't hurt my wallet bad enough just yet, I went to Sephora. They had the new OPI Nicki Minaj collection and I picked up Save Me. I also got a nail polish of the Sephora brand, no. 76 I love matte khaki.

Again, reviews will follow.

Cheers,

Shopping Log

Discounts are bad for my wallet! Not for my nails though. Catrice will be renewing their collection soon so all products that are getting replaced are 50% off at my local store. There were three colors I wanted but didn't own yet, and I decided to get a back-up bottle of one of my favorite nude colors Mona Lisa Is Staring Back.

Next to that, they had another 25% off every second product and look at that, they have a new limited edition out... Enough products worth grabbing! Then I noticed the new trend edition by Essence and I liked three colors right away. But why leave those other two colors behind, right? :-) My local store also works with personalised discounts and I got to buy four bottles of the Essence Colour & Go collection at a reduced price and voila, this is what I end up with;

• Catrice Ultimate Nail Lacquer, no. 130 Lucky In Lilac; no. 320 Back To Black; no. 120 Plum Play With Me
• Catrice Hidden World Limited Edition Nail Lacquer, C01 White And Seek; C02 Walk On Air; C03 Wood You Follow Me?
• Catrice Hidden World Limited Edition Eye Soufflé, C02 Yes, I Wood!; C03 Rosy&Cozy
• Catrice Hidden World Limited Edition Blush Mousse
• Catrice Hidden World Limited Edition Illuminating Base
• Catrice Ultimate Nudes, no. 060 Mona Lisa Is Staring Back
• Essence Colour & Go, no 43 Where Is The Party?; no. 50 Irreplaceable; no.51 Mellow Yellow; no. 68 High Spirits
• Essence Trend Edition Nail Polish, 01 It's A Snow-Woman's World; 02 Ice Crystals On My Window; 03 Ice Age Reloaded; 04 Ice Eyes Baby; 05 Frosted Champaign

Reviews will follow, but it might take a while. So much new stuff!

Happy Wednesday,

Shopping List

Nail polish and shoes... my two addictions. I was browsing the H&M (Yes, I'm a budget girl) Spring 2012 catalogue the other day and I couldn't resist ordering. Apart from some basics for my wardrobe, I simply had to get these shoes and cute accessories.

Hot pink suède peep-toe pumps

Green immitation-suède peep-toes

Two scarfs, two small belts (the green one is a perfect match to the shoes) and a set of 9 pearl-like ear rings.

I'm definitely looking forward to the sunshine now, so I can start wearing these lovelies.

Nail polish reviews to come again soon :)

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;

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!

I would list my favorites, but I really love them all, lol. I'll definitely be running to the stores when these go on sale. Which are your favorites? Let me know by dropping a comment.

Happy Wednesday,

Nicki Minaj Collection By OPI

OPI teamed up with icon Nicki Minaj and will release 6 new colors in 2012. There are a few very interesting looking nail polishes in this collection in my opinion. Click the read more button for a large picture of all colors.

April, May or June?

I spotted the Spring/Summer 2012 nail polishes by Chanel on several blogs the past week orso and my opinion of them is quite different from most responses I've seen so far, lol :)

Picture by Lisa Eldridge

A lot of people are a fan of June, but as far as I can tell from this picture that color won't go with my skin at all. My favorite has to be April, it's such a rich color. I like May too, very cute and feminine yet bright at the same time. But June? I don't know... I like the color itself, but as I mentioned before, I have serious doubts about it being flattering for my skin-tone, while lots of people write it would match a whole variety of skin-tones. I guess we'll just have to wait and see :)

Which color is your favorite? Drop me a comment and let me know :)

Bite Me

 

One of the autumn collections I'm looking forward to see is the Vampire's Love trend edition by Essence, out in November 2011. I'm not interested in all products of this collection that includes eau de toilette, shimmer powder and more, but two particular items caught my eye and I hope I'll be able to get my hands on them once they hit the stores (yes, I buy the actual products I use here, I don't get them for free). One of them obviously being the nail polish. Pics and more after the clicky!
