More Nail Polish And Another Pigment :)

L to R: CUK eye dust in 4 Pink Diamond, W7 in Fluorescent Blue, NYC in 206B East Village, 2True in Shade No.10


Yes more nail polish.hehehe. Every time I see W7 I have to buy the nail polish because I have only seen it in a few shops now and only a few colors, I really like W7 nail polishes and want to try more from this company. I like NYC and I love the color of this nail polish but I do have to say this nail polish is a bit to watery. I had to put 3 coats on to get this color. All 3 of the nail polishes have 3 coats on. I have never bought a 2true nail polish before and thought I would try this one. I would love to try a few more colors from them before I make a decision on this makeup company's nail polishes. I really like the color of the 2True nail polish it is very subtle and beautiful. I think I would have to say I like this companies nail polish but would like to try more. Now this pigment is a company I have never heard of so I thought I would try the pigment it was 2 euro. I really like the colour it looks really pink but has gold and green in the pigment its gorgeous. I have not used it on my eyes yet so I don't know the staying power of it. I also think I am going to use it wet. Wetting the brush just a little makes pigments and eyeshadows more vibrant.

Have you ever tried W7, NYC or 2True nail polishes and if so what do you think?
THANX

I love all of these pigments very much. My favorite one is my Makeup Academy one. I really want to get more pigments from MUA they are really good for only £1each which is cheap but great products. The 2 Annebelle ones I am not sure you can buy those anywhere anymore but they are good. 2True is great and i want to try more of there pigments and other products. The 2 pennys ones are okay not to great but I have only tried them dry and now want to try them wet to see if they last longer. Thanx for reading. If you have any questions please ask.

Wow I have been wanting to get red velvet nail polish for so long it is a gorgeous red. The twinkle teal and plum passion eyeliner pencils I have wanted since they came out. The natural palette is gorgeous I am so happy I got this I wish I got the other palette too. I might have to look into seeing if I can get one from eBay or something I really want it. I am so excited to use my new brushes too. They are so soft and don't shed any hair as I have washed them and they are so awesome.

I will do a review on this in 2 weeks time after I use it a bit and see how well or not well it works. I can say this so far I love how its in a clear package so you can see how much product you have left and i love how there is a roller ball to roll the product onto your face. So excited to use alot of my products tomorrow as I am going out. :)

Shulips and Karin Herzog Hand cream

 Here is 2 items I won from R8Beautyon facebook. I have had these 2 products for a while now and am going to say they are both so handy to have and work great. 
I am going to talk about the Shulips first because I have had them longer now. They are so nice to have if you have a pair of heels or shoes that hurt your heel. These feel so comfy on the back of your shoes. I am happy to have these. I think I am going to buy more for another pair of heels I have. I even forget I have them in my shoes they are that comfortable.
 The Karin Herzog Hand and Nail Cream is so great. The first time I put this on my hands and rubbed it in my hands felt softer right away. The smell is not to bad either. Even my husband said after I used it that my hands felt so soft. This is great hand and nail cream. I have only used it 2 times so I can't do a review yet but I can say wow I love this hand cream. So thank you so much to R8Beauty for these 2 great products.  Thank you so much for taking the time to read this.

My New Hair Color!


I have been wanting to dye my hair a red color for a few months now and I tried 3 months ago but it didn't turn out the red color I wanted so I waited 2 months and then I got this hair dye and thought I hope this is the color I want. Well at first I was like oh no its so dark. Then I saw during the day it is a nice red color in the sun. I can say I like this color but when Im inside the color looks to dark on me. When I am in the sun I love the color. I still like it but it didn't turn out what I was hoping for. The color is Natural Medium Mahogany Brown by Nice and Easy. I never tried this hair dye before and I can say I do like it and It doesn't stink. This hair dye comes with a pair of gloves the dye and a 6 week conditioner which is awesome and it cost me 6.99 euro.
I like this hair dye and think I might use it again will see. :)

Pigments I Got On Ebay

I have been meaning to do this blog for a long time now. These pigments can be found on ebay. I bought these all together in a 60 piece pigment pack. Now not all 60 are here because the package came with a few sparkles as well and I gave like 3 to my sister in law. The picture can be clicked on to see a larger picture. The 3 names of the pigments are Oballa, Leishi, and Lanmei. On the bottom of the pigments they have numbers not names. These are really pretty pigments. I didn't get around to swatching any of these. I will try and swatch like 5 or 6 of these and put the pictures up so you can see what they are like. You can find these on ebay I can't give you the one I bought from because it was like 10 months ago. But I can give you this one that I found. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/60pc-power-pigment-eye-shadow-minerals-makeup-eyeshadow-/140479120590?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item20b53544ce

Pennys Haul


Here is just a few little things I picked up at pennys when I was looking for clothes for my children. The 2 necklaces I got for only 50 cent each I was so happy when I went to the till and they went in as 50 cent each. Birds on necklaces are catching my attention at the moment. I think they are just so cute I love them. The bows are on bobby pins and are so easy to use. They are a great way to dress up your hair when your in a hurry. The white headband is so cute I had to buy it. I believe it was 2 euro. I love to just put my hair up quickly and add a little something to it to dress it up. Thanx for having a look.

No.17 pigments



Here are the 17 eye dazzles I have. I really like these pigments and want to get them all. I applied these swatched with a dry brush. When you wet your brush a little and apply the color it is more vibrant. I bought these all from boots. These are really easy to work with and there is a good selection of colors to chose from as well which is nice. I am loving pigments right now. I have been buying pigments so much latley. Now with the swatches, my sister in law gave me the one blue one on the left at the bottom and she took the name off. Now it looks so much like the blue one I have but when I swatch them they are a little different. The one she gave me is a little more green then the one I have. Strange :)
Anyway I really like these pigments and think if you like pigments you might like these. I can't remember the price of them, 5 euro something. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this I hope this was helpful. If you have any questions please ask and I will try my best to answer them. (click on the pictures to see them larger)

George Makeup at ASDA

At ASDA they have a clothing company called George who now have makeup and I thought I would try some. I started with these 5 pigments. These are roll on pigments. They were on sale for £1 each so I thought I would try them out for such a cheap price.. They are normaly priced at £2.50 each I believe. The colors are so pretty. There was another color I didn't pick up but I think I might, it is the white one. I don't really like the roll on so I am going to be taking the roller out. The swatches are dry swatches I just used the roller and rolled the color on. I am going to try them with a wet brush when I apply them. I am going to do a review on these if I can remember after I haved used them a little more. All I can say is the colors are really pretty and I think they would be gorgeous applyed with a wet brush. If you have tried any makeup from George please let me know what you think. THANX
