Essence True Love

Essence True Love is part of Essence Vampire's love collection. I wanted this pretty badly, but it was almost impossible to get it. I was always too late, all the bottles were gone whereever I looked. Then, my luck changed, and I managed to get it in small drugstore.
Essence True Love is a beautiful shimmery purple shade, the brush is flat, which makes application easy peazy. It is very opaque, one thick coat or two thin coats are more than enough.

Catrice - Meet Me at Coral Island

Today is a sunny day, after a long time. I wanted some of this summer, sunny spirit on my nails as well. Catrice Meet me at Coral Island is red/orange - coral, as the title suggest, shade. The formula is great, not too thick, not too runny. Flat brush is easy managable. However, this shade is a bit transperent, so two, maybe even three coats are needed for full opacity. I applied two coats, and no top coat.

Shuuuu, I didn't notice that I forgot to clean up the polish on my middle and ring finger, before taking the pictures. I apoligize for that. 

Naughty and Nice of 2011_ part 1

Another year has passed, and it's been a looong one. :)
I decided to gather 10 products, 5 nice and 5 naughty that surprised or dissapointed me in the previous year. Since I'm snowed under with the work for my uni, I'll do two posts; one for the good, and one for the bad products.

Here are the nominees:

The Nice 

Nice #1: Alverde toner wild rose 

This is one of the best face toners I have ever tried. My dry skin soaks it at once, and it leaves it hydrated and glowing. It has good ingredients, and it is cheap. 

Nice #2: Lush Lemony Flutter

With fresh lemony smell, this cuticle butter makes wonders. 

I've noticed that if I rub in it into my cuticles every evening the problems with dry and cracked cuticles are gone. You can also rub it into your nails, to hydrate and strengthen them. 

Nice #3: Lush Rub Rub Rub

Fantastic shower scrub in electric blue colour. It contains tiny grains that scrub your skin gently and leave it smoooth and slick. Not to mention the fres and refreshning smell, that fills you with energy and wakes you up. 

Nice #4: Crystal Nail File

It is simply a must have!! It files nails gently and pecisely; because it's crystal you can file your nails in both ways. It is important to buy a good one, the cheap ones usually have rough surface and only frazzle your nails. Mine is from Essie, and if I dont' brake it, is should last for quite a while. :)

Nice #5: Bourjois Volume Glamour Ultra Black Mascara

I don't wear much make-up, eyeliner and good mascara do the trick. I don't need to add length to my lashes  only volume. And this one gives just the right amount of volume so it doens't look cheap of fake, and separates your lashes from each other. 

Until next time, when I reveal the naughty, naughty products of 2011. :)

Cherio.
