Essence Care Package

Last week my sister was at the Cosnova Beauty Bloggers event. Well I wasn't invited since I just started blogging again but it's okay since I still got something.:) Anyway she had a blast and since she got so many things, she made me a care package. Isn't that awesome?




I got:
♥ Catrice Velvet Finish Foundation with hyaluron in 010 Light Velvet
♥ Catrice Sun Glow Matt Bronzing powder in 030 Medium bronze
♥ Catrice Velvet Matt Eyeshadow in 010 Vanillaty Fair
♥ Essence Metal Glam Eyeshadow in 18 Choco-chick
♥ Essence Effect nail polish in 21 Icy Fairy
♥ Essence Effect nail polish in magic  22 I ♥ magic

So far I've tried it all and I love the foundation and the matte eyeshadow!
I also did a really quick swatch of the matte and metal eyeshadow plus the bronzer but I will do a proper review later!

NOTD: Candyction blinged up

Hello,

Today I'm going to show you my NOTD. I love reds and pinks and everything in between and lately I'm a huge jelly formula fan so this nail polish was spot on. I've used Essence 05 Candyction from Crazy Good Times collection.  



I've topped my middle and thumb finger with Essence Nail Art Special Effect Topper in 23 Million Dollar Baby. On this picture you can actually see the true color of this nail polish as it photographs really badly (my camera sees just the orange but in real life it's more of a deep pink with orange undertones). I also love the orange flakies in it! Perfect for the sunny days in autumn that remind me of the summer that never was.

What is your favourite color for this autumn?

XOXO Parisky

FOTD: Green is the new thing

Hello Lovelies,

A really long time no hear or see but I've missed blogging and the blogging community.
While I was away a lot of things happened: one of the main things was that I decided to be a pro photographer and than got an internship as a photographer at Adria Media (one of the biggest publishing houses in Slovenia - they publish Cosmopolitan, Elle, Playboy ...) and still have a blog there (in Slovene). Actually writing that blog inspired me to start blogging again. 

Then what's new? I colored my hair green. Yup, you read it right: green. I get a lot of weird looks, comments and reactions but overall I love the color and how it looks on me.

In the meantime I didn't stop being a beauty freak as my nail polish collection grew bigger and bigger and I'm now counting more than 200 nail polishes *ahem*.

But let's move to my welcome back makeup. Honestly it isn't anything special. I wanted to use some purple and pink after a long time of my staple makeup (eyeliner + mascara). Too bad the red and pink aren't as pigmented as they looked like in the pan. 





What I've used:

Face ♥ Catrice Photo Finish in 010 Sand Beige
 ♥ Bourjois blush Rose de Jaspe 95

Eyes:  ♥ Essence Wild Craft Eyebrow set
 ♥ Catrice Arts Collection set (purple + pink eyeshadow)
 ♥ Deborah 24 ore Absolute volume mascara
 ♥ L'Oreal Color Riche Crayon Le Khol in 101 Midnight Black 

Lips:  ♥ S-he Lipstick in 458 and 326

Are you as happy as me to be back?

NOTD: Essence Hello Holo

Hello!
Even though it's called a Topper, I've used it for my manicure and my pedicure. I love it! I applied two coats, but I didn't even go for full opacity (obviously).
It's gorgeous!




Here you can see the gorgeousness :)

NOTD: Butterflies, Butterflies ... We Were Meant to Fly

Hello again :)
This time another manicure :) heh, guess what? It's blue... again :) 
This time I got stuck in my head this song that goes butterflies, butterflies ... we were meant to fly ...
So I had to use a butterfly on my manicure :)

Base: Essence You Belong to Me
Glitter: Essence Topper Circus Confetti


XOXO Parisky

P.S. Now I promise I will do a crazy makeup or something more exciting than just blue NOTD's :P

NOTD: Essence Let's Get Lost

Hello :)
Again a blue nail polish on my nails. This time my nails are short, because my left index nail broke :/

I've used 1 coat of Essence Let's get lost + Essence Hello Holo on my ring finger.

NOTD: Essence Where Is the Party?


Hello Darlings,
As requested I've swatched one of Essence's latest releases - Where is the party. This nail polish is a very interesting duochrome or even threechrome - it looks purple in one light, green in another and grey in some lights. Amazing. The formula is a bit thicker, but it's very pigmented, so only 1 coat (yup, you've read it right) is needed for full opacity! I think it has got a bit of a frosty finish, since some brush strokes are visible (not so in your face as true frosty finishes).

I've failed miserably to capture the true color of it, as it's more vivid and a darker (not very saturated) lilac color most of the time.



It's definitely something new in my collection :)

XOXO Parisky

NOTD: Essence You Belong To Me + Hello Holo


Hello Dolls :)

Maybe you've noticed that lately I've been having an obsession with the color blue?
It's just that it reminds me of the sky and all those gorgeous days when you just go on a walk and don't think about your problems, but instead of the nature that surrounds you. 

So how better celebrate the first day of Spring (actually today it's the third, but I wore it on the first) than with a pretty blue manicure that on top of everything sparkles as crazy? :))

So Ladies and Gentlemen, I present you Essence You Belong To Me, topped with Essence Topper Hello Holo.




Can you see the holo?


Have a nice day, darlings.

XOXO Parisky

NOTD: Essence Irreplaceable

Hello :)
It's time to start showing you some swatches of my latest haul.
It was love at first sight with this color. It has got gold shimmer! 
Plus it's opaque in one coat.
You may think this isn't a "me" color, but I love it, because from time to time you have to just relax and let go of vivid colors :P If that even makes sense.

Anyway let's move to the pictures.

Pretteh, ya?

Haul: Essence New Stuff

Hello Darlings :)

This time I bought something for me :)
Do you know that Essence has lunched a lot of new things? No, well go check it out if you can.

This is what I got (minus the gel eyeliner that is in the 2nd picture)


This was my first part of the haul (day 1)


Let's break it down:


From left to right: You Belong To Me (pastel blue, perfect for Spring), Let's Get Lost (pretty medium blue), Out Of My Mind (absolutely stunning duo chrome- blue and green), Where Is the Party (another duo chrome-green and purple, Irreplaceable (gorgeous beige with gold shimmer)


From left to right: Circus Confetti (it reminds me of Happy Birthday from Lippmann), Hello Holo (omg it's a holo topper), Cool and the Gang (a TRUE indigo), Bella (hopefully it's a dupe of H&M Bella's Choice, but I doubt it).

I also got 2 eye brushes. One is an angled brush for gel eyeliners and it's sooo soft, love it.
The other one is a crease brush and is truly the softest crease brush I own! If you have a chance, go buy it as it's cheap and better than many other brushes.


Ok, now I'll show you how the gel eyeliner looks like. I picked the purple one, because I love purple (heh, which color I don't love?) And of course I had to stick my finger in it. Do you know what happend? I picked up half of the gel eyeliner with it! (ok, I'm a bit exagerating, but it's extremely soft). I thought, well whatever, I'll test it out.  Huh, see for yourself. 


It did need some work to work (:D), but to me it wasn't purple. It looked black(ish) and it didn't last more than 3 hours on my eyes (and eyeliners stay put on my eyes). 

So I love the nail polishes and adore the new brushes (all their brushes are amazing), but I would skip the gel eyeliner.

I love shopping :) Do you know why? Because I feel like a kid in a candy store with all those colors to chose from. And  the best part is, that I can wear those colors (unlike with candy, where you eat them :D) and play with them. So the next time you see me in a cosmetic department giggling like crazy, you'll know why :D

Have fun,
XOXO

NOTD: Orange Power

Hello :)
This time I decided to play a little bit more with scotch tape, since I ruined my primary manicure (the base- Essence What Do U Think?) and had to hide it somehow :P

Stripes: KIKO 280 Arancione (Orange)




It wasn't as vivid as it looks in the pictures, but the camera saw it this way.

NOTD: Jungle Drum

Hello Girls :)
Today I'll show my current manicure. The base was Essence Jungle Drum (a dark chocolate brown that looks almost like black). On top I stamped a net (khm sorry for my "perfect" stamping skills- I still need lots of practise with full nail konading) with a gold S-he nail polish and one of the latest full nail Essence nail plates.



XOXO Parisky

P.S. Next I'll show you some things I got ;)

NOTD: Happy Subtle Manicure


Hello hello :)
I've already worked for two days and I'm a real busy bee ;)
Hehe
So today I have for you my current safe-for-work-but-not-boring manicure.

I've used Essence Zulu as my base and Essence Lime Up! (a Shrek green) for stamping.
The result is a very subtle happy manicure :D






With cell phone

Have fun!

NOTD: Essence Not Just Cute

Hello :)

Today I have for you a pretty pastel pink (in RL it's more bubblegum pink), because it's almost Valentine's Day and because it smells just like spring around here.
I needed 3 coats for full opacity.
This nail polish is from Essence Cute as Hell Le from last February.

NOTD: Essence Hypnotic Poison


Hello!
Don't be fooled by this gorgeousness! It isn't a dark red color or a purple color, but it's something in between with lots of shimmer.  As usual it, such beauty, won't photograph well.

It's red side


It's amazing purple and shimmery side 


And something in between

It's really a gorgeous nail polish and for just 1,5€ is budget proof :)

XOXO Parisky
