Hello :)

After a long time another FOTD. Again something simple, but lately I don't feel like doing anything too sophisticated or complicated, so I stick with simplicity.

I've used: 

Eyes: UDPP, UD Naked palette, Bourjois Volume Glamour Ultra Black mascara

Face: Everyday Minerals in Fawn, Illamasqua Cream Blusher in Rude 

Too bad it looks like the summer is over :/

Hello girls :)

I've got a new pretty and girly manicure for you  today :)

I've used 2 coats of Illamsqua Collide and one coat of Gosh Rainbow on my ring fingers. Even though this nail polish after 2 coats is a bit see through, I like how this manicure turned out :)

Hello Darlings :)

I really hope you've enjoyed my previous post on Beauty, but now it's time to get back on schedule with reviews of some latest collections.  I promise I'll do some more inspirational posts as soon as I can.

Before Illamasqua's latest Spring/Summer 2011 Toxic Nature collection  was available for the public to purchase, I got a sleek black box into my mail box. Guess what it was? Some products from Toxic Nature collection!

I got: 

- Nail Polish in Gamma

It's a lilac cream pigment with a matt finish.

Of course I had to try it right away on my eyes and I loved it! It makes my eyes pop and it's such a great colour for Spring as it reminds me of flowers in Spring and the fresh feeling I get in Spring :)

It looks great on the lips as well :) 

It's a peach cream pigment with matt finish.

I absolutely love this one! I wore it  at work and felt so fresh and young with it on the eyes :) It gives you a "no-makeup" look instantaneously.

Emerge is very wearable  as a lipstick as it gives you a nude look, but with a bit of colour. I think this may be the next "it" look for this spring.

And the swatches

At first I tried the pigments without any eye primer. They didn't crease for whole 15 minutes on my extra oily lids. Than I applied an eyeshadow on top and they didn't crease for approximately 1 hour and with an primer under the cream pigments they didn't crease for 5 hours, what really is something, if you ask me. 

+ Fresh Spring colours

+ The texture

+ The formula 

+ Great staying power

+ The package

- Not really suitable for extra oily lids

Price: £17.00

----------------------------

It's a bright orange lipstick.

I couldn't really capture the gorgeous colour of it, but usually it's more orange and less red than in this pictures. When I applied at first I was so happy! I finally got a lipstick that is so bright orange that it's almost neon. I was wow'd away :)

The formula is a bit dry (but not drying), so I really recommend you a good lip balm underneath, especially if you have dry lips.

+ The colour! 

+ Doesn't dry out your lips

+ The package 

- Dry formula (a bit chalky to apply)

Price: £15.50

---------------------------

It's a gorgeous neon orange nail polish.

Ahh.. lately I've been obsessing over the orange colour, so this is perfect for me! It's bright, it's neon and it's ORANGE! What more do you want?

The first picture is the most colour accurate from the bunch.

The formula was good, as with all other Illamasqua's nail polishes. I needed 2 coats, but some nail lines were still a bit visible. The saying power is on the average side (I got one chip in the same day, but the rest of  manicure resisted for another 2 days). And as all neon polishes, this one as well dries to a satin finish, so I applied a top coat.

 I love this colour so much that I already wore it twice in the past week (and that's a rarity for me, with so many nail polishes that I own). 

+ The COLOUR

+ The formula

+ The packaging

- The price

Price: £13.50

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Overall: This collection feels fresh with a mixture of pastel colours typical for Spring and neon colours typical for Summer. So weather you pick a neon or a pastel colour, you'll be ready for the next season :D

I especially loved the nail polish (because I'm a nail polish freak) and the lipstick as I don't own anything like it.

Do I recommend it? Yes :)

I was extremely happy when I got my first package from Illamsqua into my mail box! :)

So here are the things I got to review:

Right now I'm working on the review and so far all I can say is wow! The lipstick is so vivid you can barely believe it! The pigments are lovely, and the nail polish is still waiting to be used.

Now I'm off to testing them and than taking some decent pictures.

Have fun,

XOXO Parisky

And you know the best part? I got some things from Illamasqa to review! Yay :)

So expect some swatches and a review in the next week.

Helloooo :)

I wanted something cute on my nails for my birthday, so I tried something completely different, something I never did before: nail art roses.

At first I didn't like it, because I thought it looks like crap, but I soon realized it looks cute XD 

Here is my first nail roses attempt:

XOXO Parisky

Hello,

I've had this polish quite for a while but only wore it once. So, it started to separate and I had to shake it  ... that's why all the bubbles on my nails :/

This one is a true Barbie pink, but it's really hard to photograph. It has got lots of pretty pink shimmer in it, but unfortunately it's visible only in the bottle, on the nails it looks more like a creme nail polish. I've used 2 coats, but a third one wouldn't be bad, since it shows brush strokes as if it was a metallic nail polish. Terrible!

Here the shimmery shine is visible a bit (photographed with flash)

And this last picture is photoshopped just to show you it's true (beautiful) color. Nice, right?

Hello Ladies!

Today I'll show you Illamasqua's pink neon varnish called Collide.

This is a true neon color and such it's really hard to capture on camera (at least for the small ones). 

I've used 2 thin layers and as all neons this one as well, dries satin.

This two are the most color accurate of them all! 

My eyes hurt! :D

And this is a good example how another camera can't handle the color (neon anyone?).

Love it or hate it? I definitely love it! Now I just need a good yellow neon polish ... :D
