NOTD: Purpletastic


Here is the manicure from Saturday :) I've used S-he purple nail polish (very dark purple) 464 and a layer of Sinful Colors I love you. I have discovered that my bf's mobile phone camera hates the I love you nail polish (it makes it blue on pictures).

So I just used a little bit of my Photoshop skills *insert evil laugh*
and now you can see the actual color of my manicure.


I really like it because it was dark and purple plus it has pink glitter! :)
Too bad it's already all chipped (my right hand). Sometimes I am wondering what a nail polish has to take before it chips.

I hope you had a great weekend!

P.S. Would you answer the poll on the right? ;)

EOTD: Purtpletastic

Time for another EOTD! And guess what? It's purple (again) or well purple-ish :)
And by the way I did my nails too ... guess what color? Purple (I will post some pictures tomorrow)!
Lately I think I'm obsessed with this color :)



I've used Bella Pierre mineral eyeshadow in Ultra Suede and Coastal Scents gel liner in Grape

The EOTD under different lights:


What about you? Have you been obsessed by any color lately? :)

My top ten products so far

Hello lovelies!

Lately I've been thinking what are my top products I have ever used?
I came out with a top ten list. Here it is:

10. Vaseline


Actually I never knew it was so useful until I found this page (50 uses of Vaseline). This product really is amazing and the very important thing it is non-comedogenic (doesn't clog pores)! I use it every time after I take a shower on my feet (I apply a generous amount) and put on socks over night or just for a couple of hours. It leaves your feet smooth an soft. I use it for my lips, dry skin and on my cuticles.
And what's the biggest plus? It's cheap!

9. Anti-spot body spray by Essence

I've been using this for months now :) It really helps and it is much much cheaper than Clinique Acne Solutions Body Treatment Spray (a really short name :P) and it does exactly the same plus it doesn't smell so artificially. Actually I did a review of it a while ago. Here.

8. Curls Rock Curl Amplifier from Tigi

I have curls and curls tend not to stay on their place and to get nods. This baby really helps to give your hair that va-va-voom effect and extra pretty curls :)

7. False Lash Effect mascara from Max Factor

I have written everything about it in a previous review. Here. I still love it! :)

6. 88 matte palette from Coastal Scents

I love love love it! If you don't know which shade to get just buy this palette and you've got it all :) It has got 88 shades of different pigmentation. Some of them tend to expire very quickly in my crease but other can stay on my eyes for more than 12 hours! I got this palette last year and since than I did not look at any other new eyeshadow (because with this palette you almost don't need it). And another plus? It's only 19 $ :)

5. Ultimate Brow kit from Wet n wild

Before this kit I was using Dior powder eyebrow pencil and I was loving it. But than I saw a review of this kit and decided to give it a try. After that I stopped using Dior pencil. Why? Well there was nothing wrong with that pencil but it was just a shade (or two) too dark for my eyebrows. This kit is supposed to be for brunettes & blondes but in reality it can get really dark (sometimes too dark for my eybrows to look natural). But still the brush is just amazing and you can control the amount of color you get on your brows. If they get too dark (that happens quite a lot to me) you just sweap off the excess (gently). This kit comes with wax, a lighter shade for blondes, a darker one for brunettes, a pair of tweezers, a brush and a mirror. It's small and handy plus it's really cheap compared to Dior :D

4. BB cream from Skinfood

I got this one after my sister tried it out. It smells like lime grass and it covers up most of your imperfections. It's like foundation mixed with cram but it's good for your skin :) It is a whitening, anti-wrinkle cream and it has got SPF 20 :) If this is the first time you're hearing about this. It really helps your acne to go away and leaves your skin glowing. I did a review here.

3. Green tea overnight skin rejuvenating from Sweetscents

I was told about this one too by my sister :D It dries out your acne. It is a miracle product! You leave it on overnight and by morning your pimple is gone or at least half gone. And that is something! Here is the Sweetscents page that explains this product.

2. Essie Good to Go

An essential product for anyone who does their manicures at home! It really dries out your nail polish super fast :) No more smudging and ruining your precious fresh manicure!

1. Jojoba oil

I love it, no j'adore it! It's my Holy Grail :D This is really the best EVER product I've EVER tired! It's multipurpose and it's natural! I use it instead of my cream (this winter has made my skin extra sensitive and every cream irritates it), for my hands, on my dried hair (it's better that Tigi Curl's Rock Curl Amplifier - and it's natural) and as a makeup remover (just a few drops and everything goes away). Read more here.

That's all girls! :)
I will do all the missing reviews of this products so expect some (quite) soon :)

P.S. Most of the pictures were found on the web (except for Anti-body spray, False Lash Effect, Green tea overnight ... and jojoba oil)

What is your Holy Grail product?

NOTD: Love is in the air

Hello :)

Today I wanted to do a Love related manicure since Valentine's day is approaching :)
So here is an idea for yours Valentine's day nails:

I've used my pastel pink frankenpolish (any light pink will do) and waited until this was fully dried (actually I've just used Essie good to Go).
Than I draw 2 dots with the nail polish brush and connected those 2 dots with a toothpick.
After this I've waited some more and applied Sinful Colors Pearl Harbour and Essie Good to Go.




My right thumb came out much prettier than my left one (because that was my testing finger) :D

Hope you like it!

NOTD: Sinful Colors I love you + voting time :)

I finally changed my manicure to something purple (again)! Lately I've been really obsessed with purple (nail polishes and makeup, but, if I had any purple clothes I would be definitely wearing it now).

For this manicure I've used Sinful Colors I love you and the very pretty stickers from Fing'rs :D

The application of the nail polish was without a problem, it is a little bit too runny for my taste but the color is gorgeous. I've applied 3 coats and then ruined my manicure :/ But because I love this color so much, I cleaned all off and re-applied everything (I was really angry :P). In the bottle the color is a deep purple (this time the mobile phone camera captured the purple!! *happy dance*) with pink glitter in it that is well visible in the light.


I've applied a coat of Frenzy (SC) on my thumb and it's very sparkly now.

My poor cuticles with all the acetone :/ Does anyone know something that would help my cuticles (and hands - very dry because of the weather)?

P.S. Remember my post about Parokeets Contes? Well now it's time to vote. You can vote here (the pool is on the bottom right side)
I've entered with this EOTD
