Golden Glitters

Hi,
I made another holiday manicure, but this one is more for a New Year's eve :)

I used: * Essence - Hunt me if you Can (Vampire's Love TE)
           * Catrice - Star of the Show (Welcome to Las Vegas LE)
           * Essence pigment - A Piece of Forever (Breaking Dawn TE)

 

Hope you're all having a wonderful Sunday!

Haul + Swatch (Max Factor - Intense Plum)

Hello!
I bought a few things today and I decided to share it with you :)

 

I had an eye on Max factor set for a while now and I finally bought it. The set costs only 9,59€ and contains: * 3 mini glosfinity nail polishes (Intense Plum, Hot Pink, Cloudy Blue)

                                * 2000 Calorie mascara

                                * Mini kohl pencil (020 black)

                                * Creme Puff (05 translucent)

                                * 1 sample of Max factor face finity all day flawless foundation (50 natural)

 

I think this set is awesome. It has amazing stuff in it. I already tried one nail polish and mascara and so far I like it. I don't like the smell of compact powder, but I can't say anything else, because I haven't tried it yet.

 

Other things: * Essence - Jacob's Protection (Breaking dawn part 2 LE)

                      * Essence - Alice Had a Vision - Again (Breaking dawn part 2 LE)

                      * Essence - A Piece of Forever pigment (Breaking dawn part 2 LE)

                      * Essence - Berry me Home (Home Sweet Home LE)

                      * Depend - 6004 (Magnetic)

Like I said, I already tried one nail polish from Max Factor set and here it is:

 

 (Max Factor - Intense Plum)

 
 I think it's a beautiful colour, I used 2 coats, the application was easy. The only thing that I didn't like is the handle or the stick of the brush (don't know how to explain it). It's so small that it was very hard to paint my nails normally. Here is a picture of three small nail polishes so that you can see the comparison:
From left to right: Depend, Max Factor, Essence

 

Isn't it small? Do you have any mini Max Factor nail polishes? Do you have the same problems?

 

Do me a favour and tell me which product would you like to see swatched first ;)

 

Thank you for stopping by!

Haul + Swatches (Essence pigments)

I went to Beauty world yesterday and bought a few things from Essence new sortiment.

From left to right:
Essence - Colour arts nail base (1,69€),
Essence - I'm Bluetiful, Free hugs, Ballerina's charm, Oh my glitter! (1,69€),
Essence - Kiss Care Love lipbalm (1,39€),
Essence - Colour arts mixing jars (1,39€),
Essence - Colour arts eye base (1,99€),
Essence pigments - Fairy dust, Cotton candy, Broadway starlet (2,69€)

 

 

Today I would like to show you swatches that I made with Essence pigments.

 

 

 

I swatched them on my hand without and with Colour arts eye base.

 

10 - fairy dust is a pearly white pigment with small glitter.

This one is my favourite.

Left - without base

Right - with base

11 - cotton candy is a pearly light pink pigment.

Left - without base

Right - with base



 

 04 - broadway starlet is a multicolored glitter, but I don't think that I will be using it on my eyes, because I don't like sparkly things on my face.

 

Then I swatched them on my nails with Colour arts nail base:

 

On index and middle finger - 11 - cotton candy (2coats)

On ring and pinky finger - 10 - fairy dust (2 coats)

 

 

I was quite dissapointed with those two pigments. As you can see they didn't cover my nails even.

There's just too much mess with them I don't think that I will be using them for my nails.

 

But.. I love 04 - broadway starlet (2 coats)! It looks awsome :D it's such a shame that there's no sun today (that's why I didn't bother putting it on all my nails, I want to save that for sunny days :D)

 

To sum up I'm quite satisfied with them. Fairy dust and Cotton candy will probably only be used on my eyes, can't wait to try them, so that I can see if they will last long on my eyelids. And Broadway starlet will probably only be used on my nails, but that's okay, because I don't have that kind of a nail polish in my collection.

 

* I didn't get lip base, because I'm not wearing lipsticks that often.

 

 

Did you get any pigments? How did you like them?

Are you using them on your nails, eyes or both?
