Shopping Log - Part 3

Yes, here I am again with  another shopping log. I promise it's a small one this time around and that the next post will be an actual review instead of more new products.

Catrice: London's Weather Forecast, Hip Queens Wear Blue Jeans!, Browno Mars, Sing: Oh Champs-Elysée, Essence: Choose Me

The first two colors of Catrice are old colors that are being released again for this Spring/Summer, the other two are new colors. The Essence nail polish is an oldie but my local store never sold it until now.

Have a crazy Thursday!

Shopping Log

A lot of brands are introducing their Spring/Summer collections and I went on a bit of a Catrice/Essence shopping sprea.

Happy Monday,

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,

Broken Dawn

It's not a surprise that the name of this nail polish 'The Dawn Is Broken' was inspired by the title of a Twilight book as it was part of the Essence Vampire's Love trend edition.

Slay Me, Please

More glitter and glamour with this nail polish from the November Essence Vampire's Love trend edition; no 01, 'Gold Old Buffy'.

Team Bella And Edward

Essence has released several nail art twins; A combination of two nail polishes (one base coat, one top coat) that match well together and go by the names of popular duos. I'll be swatching Nail Art Twins, no 6 today; 'Bella & Edward'.

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!

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;

Crack The Cherry

I had a job interview this week so I didn't have the time to change my manicure more than just one time. After Captain Sparrow's Boat, I was in the mood for something colorful and ended up going for Essence Multi Dimension, no. 63, 'Purple Cherry', with a crackle top coat by Herôme, no. 165, 'Gold Geneva'. I've included more pictures than before in this post, I hope this gives you a better impression of what the colors are like.

Crackled Love

After buying a few cracked nail polished earlier this week, I had to use them right away! I haven't had much time yet, so I've only used one but what a lovely color it is! I combined the Herôme 'Light Blue Malibu' (no. 163) crackle polish with Essence Multi Dimension, no. 57 'Love of Pink'.

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!

Frosted Spices?

Testing today: 

* Essence Multi Dimension XXXL Shine, no. 39 "Spicy"
