It Only Takes a Spark-le to Start a Fire!

So yeah, yesterday was one of those days that you wish never happened, started, etc. I was one of the 'lucky' people at my company who lost their job yesterday. Sweet, huh?! (if anyone knows of any available awesome jobs in the Vegas area, please let me know!! :-D) I'm trying to look at it as a blessing, there are a ton of roads I could take at this point... I could work at night, and go back to school to get a culinary degree, I could get another graphic job, I could get a bartending or cocktail job, I could work at the casinos... the possibilities are pretty endless. I'm going to turn this situation on it's ass. :-D For today's nails I really wanted to do something fun and sparkly, so I used the new Nubar Sparkles polishes I bought at the International Beauty Show to do an ombre. :) These polishes officially kick ass, I can't stop looking at my hands, they're SO sparkly. I even ended up doing a matching pedicure!! :)



I used 3 coats of Nubar Petunia Sparkle, with Nubar Violet Sparkle sponged on the tip half of the nail. Topped everything off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat to smooth out the glitter coats. :)

So... what should my next endeavor be?

Uno sguardo in esclusiva al nuovo shop online della OPI!

Come molte di voi sapranno la OPI, gettonatissima marca professionale di smalti e' distribuita in Italia dalla Fabyline.

Fino ad oggi molte di voi ci chiedevano dove era possibile trovare in Italia gli smalti della OPI e ovviamente la risposta era sempre la stessa : trovare un'estetista o un punto vendita che vi potesse tornare comodo chiedendolo direttamente al distributore.

Dal 3 maggio se preferite avrete una chance in più e che chance!!
Sta per aprire il primo store online italiano tutto dedicato ad OPI.

OPIshop.net

Abbiamo avuto il piacere di parlare con Alessandro della Fabyline che ci ha illustrato le caratteristiche di questo shop e le tante sorprese che ci attenderanno...

Il costo degli smalti della OPI sarà di 15 euro cad. uno ma quello che trovo super interessante e' che saranno presenti online tutte le collezioni degli ultimi 4 anni della OPI e non sono assolutamente poche ve l'assicuro ;-)
Vi dico solo che la richiestissima collezione "Russia" sarà tutta online (Midnight Moscow, Russian Navy e via dicendo)
I tempi di consegna saranno molto più veloci che di un qualsiasi shop estero essendo su territorio nazionale.

Nelle mia varie navigazioni online ho notato che molto spesso alcuni venditori tendono a lucrare sulle collezioni passate o anche su specifici colori che hanno riscosso moltissimo successo.
Questo si traduce in classificazioni tipo i "Very Hard To Find" coniugati in mille modi diversi, che fanno lievitare i costi di questi smalti alle stelle... ebbene questo problema sullo shop italiano non esisterà minimamente.

Sia che lo smalto sia della nuova collezione o di una meno recente il prezzo di listino resterà lo stesso.

Il costo e' alto?

Sicuramente potremo approfittare di promozioni e sconti dedicati tutti allo shop e avere a disposizione una vasta collezione tra cui scegliere, tra cui anche i miniset opi che permettono di avere gli smalti che tanto ci piacciono in formato più piccolo e a prezzi più convenienti!



Detto questo ecco a voi in anteprima uno screenshot del nuovo store che sarà visibile a tutti dal 3 maggio prossimo:

Cliccate sulla foto per ingrandirla.
Come potete vedere abbiamo un menu laterale dove e' possibile navigare per colore e subito sotto l'elenco delle collezioni.
Ovviamente la foto mostra un work in progress, gli addetti ai lavori stanno confezionando lo shop per l'apertura ufficiale del 3 Maggio.

Passando con il mouse su ciascuno smalto avrete un ingrandimento popup in alta definizione che vi permetterà di vedere esattamente lo smalto come si presenta nella sua confezione...

Mi aspetto una vasta scelta di smalti da questo shop e ovviamente tante promozioni convenienti per noi appassionate OPI.
Detto questo appuntamento su Opishop.net per l'apertura del 3 Maggio!

China Glaze Blue Sparrow

Hi everyone! I have been loving neons lately despite the snow, and today I wanted to share one that I picked up awhile ago, China Glaze Blue Sparrow. Why did I not get this one earlier? What was freaking wrong with me? This blue is so bright and so gorgeous! I love the sparkles in there too, it really adds depth to the color. This color applies well and dries very quickly, but again I had the same problem I had with Flying Dragon, it chips very easily on me, even with a topcoat! A lot of you did not have this problem, so I am thinking that something about my nail chemistry that doesn't like neons. I am still going to rock this color anyways! Do you have this color, do you love it too?

Oh, Quit Your Waning!

So I think I may be tired lately... there are two nights this week so far that I've passed out on the couch, etc. before 8:30 PM! :-P Last night it was about 6:45, and I slept the whole night. That can't be good, right? So much going on lately! Next Friday, I need to make a wedding cake for my friend Jessica's wedding... I'm a little scared because it's the one cake in a person's life they're not likely to forget. :-/ I also need to make some ice cream for class on sunday, I'm thinking Chocolate Cayenne, Fresh Strawberry, and Vanilla Bean. (Banana, too, if I can find ripe bananas at the supermarket). I'm hoping to do a 1-tier practice of the wedding cake on Saturday, and I hope to GOD it looks awesome. lol On the bright side, tomorrow is Friday, and at least over the weekend I won't have to worry too much about work, just personal obligations! :)

Today's nail art was inspired by the phases of the moon, which are: New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous, Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Las Quarter, Waning Crescent, and Dark. (according to wikipedia.org) As of the time of this blog post, we are nearly at the full moon! :-D I only used TWO colors for this art- black and white! Oh, and by the way, the ring finger on my right hand is new CND Shellac, which would explain why it's not decorated with art.. lol I'm testing their 2-week claim, because if if can stay on me, it'll stay on anyone.





I used American Apparel Hassid
for the background, as well as mixed with American Apparel Cotton for the greys, and also used American Apparel Cotton
to lightly sponge over the base to make 'stars'.

What is going on with this blog? First, all the talk of 'brazilians', and now a Waxing Moon?! :-P (bad joke, I know)

CURRENT MOON

Autoabbronziamoci...parte seconda!!

Per chi non avesse letto gli articoli in sequenza li trovate qui e qui!

ohhhh....adesso ci siamo il risultato c'è e si vede!


Visto che con le gocce magiche corpo-gambe ero rimasta un pochino delusa speravo vivamente che con quelle viso il risultato fosse diverso ed in effetti così è stato.

Sarà che la pelle del viso è più ricettiva e più facile all'abbronzatura?? Mah...fatto sta che in effetti il mio viso dopo circa un'ora e mezza ha assunto una colorazione quasi dorata.

Neanche come indicato sulla confezione "come dopo una giornata di mare od una seduta di lampada" perchè almeno divento rossa e con le Gocce Magiche non avviene ci si colora e basta.


Il colorito che si ottiene non è eccessivamente vistoso ma si nota il prima ed il dopo. Riapplicando le gocce anche il giorno seguente l'effetto diventa più marcato.

Inoltre vi consiglio, se vi truccate, di mettere la mattina un velo di terra sfumandola con il classico pennello.

A me il risultato complessivo è piaciuto molto!

Nail Art: Neon Stripes!

Hi everyone, today I actually have a manicure for you, yay! Now in case you don't know, it is freaking snowing here again. In fact it is going to snow all week. So to will the bad weather away, I decided on some brighter nails. Now please ignore the horrifying cuticles, it's finals time and I am a chronic cuticle biter. And please ignore the indoor picture because the weather outside is terrible and I can't get god lighting. :( Do you like the new nail shape though? I am not really sure about rounder nails yet, we'll see. I used Sinful Colors Jamboree and Art Deco Bright Orange. I just did stripes, but I like how I varied the stripes. Can you tell I ran out of ideas when I got to my pinky lol? What do you think?

Oh, How Tacky!

Hi everyone!!! I hope that this lovely April day finds you well ( and not wind-blown, like here in Vegas!! lol) Today's nails were inspired by something at work- my cork board!! :) I thought it'd be something different, and plus, when I did the dinosaur nails the other day, I thought the background looked like cork, so I thought I'd used that idea as a design! :)



I used MAC Abalone Shell (I wish I'd picked up multiples of this- I <3 it), with Zoya Dea pretty heavily sponged over it, then topped with CND Super Matte, which BTW isn't MATTE AT ALL!?!?!?, don't get it. After that failed, I went to my go-to matte topcoat, Essie Matte About You. Next, for the thumb tacks, I used CND Green Scene, American Apparel Downtown L.A. for the red tack, Pure Ice French Kiss for the blue tack, American Apparel Poppy for the orange tack, and CND Bicycle Yellow for the yellow tack. I mixed each with American Apparel Cotton to highlight, and American Apparel Hassid to shade, except the yellow tack, which I mixed American Apparel Poppy with to shade. for the metal part of the tack, I used American Apparel Hassid mixed with China Glaze Millennium. FOr the items tacked up, I used American Apparel Cotton for the white, American Apparel Hassid for the black, and American Apparel Downtown L.A. for the red. For the shadows of the tack on each nail, I used a mix of topcoat andAmerican Apparel Hassid. Topped the tacks off with a coat of Seche Vite top coat, being careful not to get any on the matte portion of the nail.

Totally tack-y, right?!

And, as a bonus sneak peek into part of the giveaway prize.... (hand screened by yours truly)

Autoabbronziamoci by Collistar!!

Allora parliamone ma la mia abbronzatura dov'è??!!

Vi ho parlato qui dei nuovi autoabbronzanti di Collistar.

Io avevo provato quello che era in commercio alcuni fa in crema per il viso e l'avevo trovato veramente super. Il colorito che generava era uniforme e visibile in poco tempo ma comunque delicato.

Chiaramente non potevo tirarmi indietro di fronte a questi e quindi ho sperimentato le Gocce Magiche corpo-gambe.


Nel dubbio di ottenere un effetto troppo "intenso" visto che comunque ogni pelle ha un colorito di base diverso, mi sono "spalmata" le gocce solo sulle gambe.

Precisazione: il liquido è di color cioccolato ma tranquille perchè una volta applicato il prodotto si assorbe immediatamente e non unge. Bisogna solo avere l'accortezza di lavarsi subito le mani.

Tornando a noi....le istruzioni dicono che entro un'ora la pelle assume un'intensa e luminosa abbronzatura.....bene l'ora è passata....anzi è passato un'intero giorno....ma la mia abbronzatura???? Le mie gambe sono esattamente com'erano prima!!!

Non voglio credere che Collistar abbia messo in commercio un prodotto che non "funziona", allora mi sono chiesta se forse ho applicato troppo poco prodotto?? O forse l'applicazione va ripetuta per qualche giorno di seguito prima che il risultato sia evidente??

Insomma andiamo in fondo alla questione, io riprovo ad incremarmi ma se qualcuna di voi ha usato questo prodotto mi da un segnale??
Fatemi sapere che risultati avete ottenuto..

..........sperimento a questo punto anche le Gocce Magiche viso.....e poi vi riferisco!!!!

Maybelline Two-Timer

Hi everyone! Today I bring you an old school Maybelline that I found at the dollar store. I looked through all of the colors there and wasn't impressed, but this one caught my eye and I snatched it right up! This is a gorgeous frosty light blue with a violet flash in the bottle, although it doesn't really show up on the nail well. This polish stinks though, defintely not big three free! It is beautiful though, I really want to use this next winter for snowy manicures and nail art! Do you love this too? Did you make a dollar store haul to snap up some of these old Maybellines?

I'd Like the Brazilian, Please!

OH MY GOODNESS! For those of you that are new to the blog- WELCOME, or bem-vindos!! (I hope that translated correctly on Google Translate! lol) I am SO excited and thrilled from the HUGE HUGE HUGE response on my blog yesterday from the country of Brazil! I received 112,000 page views yesterday!! (thats about two-thirds of what I generally get in a MONTH!) So in honor of all my awesome new readers- I give you today's nail design- the Brazilian flag. :) Obrigado!!!



I used CND Green Scene as a base, used tape to tape off the diamond shape, painted CND Bicycle Yellow, then removed the tape. For the blue, I freehanded a circle with Pure Ice French Kiss, then used Sally Hansen All the White Stuff for the white band across it, as well as little dots (for the stars). I also used CND Green Scene to paint little squiggles for the words Ordem e Progresso ("Order and Progress"), since I can't paint letters that small. :-D Topped it all off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.

Thank you to all my new readers, Brazilian, American, or whatever country you're from!! You rock, and I appreciate you!!

BTW- keep an eye out for a giveaway in the next few days- I was planning to have one for 1500 followers, but the follower count went up by 100 in a day, so I wasn't ready for it! lol Still finishing part of the prizes, and figuring out what the contest rules should be!! :)

How About A Kitty?

Hey everyone! I am again sorry that I have no manicure today, I am still really sick and the smell of nail polish remover has been making me very dizzy. So I hope that you forgive me, and enjoy a picture of my kitty instead. Doesn't she look cute and kind of scared lol? Lately she has been kind of sick, and I can't go and see he.r I am hoping that she will get better soon. My mom is going to take her to the vet very soon. She hasn't been cleaning herself properly and she has been using the area just outside of her litter box instead of the litter box; which is very strange for her. Anyway, there will be a nail swatch tomorrow and hopefully I will feel ok enough to have a manicure for you all on Thursday, have a great day everyone!

I'm so excited and I can't wait for them to come :)

Just an update - no nail pictures, sorry ):

[hopefully that's soon! (:]

Splat!

Happy monday!!! It's *bleepin* hot here today in sunny Las Vegas, and definitely doesn't feel like April should. :-D Today's design is simple again, I got home late after the show last night, and was too tired to do anything intricate, but I still dig the color combo- Flip Flop Fantasy is positively retina-searing, the picture doesn't do it justice! :) I'm sitting at my desk right now having a 'Flip Flop Fantasy'... wishing I was at home sitting in the shade wearing flip flops, my comfy jeans, and a t-shirt!! No such luck, it's a work day! The play last night was fantastic, and if any of you should get the chance to see 'Confessions of a Mormon Boy', I'd highly recommend it. It's hilarious, entertaining, charming, and heart-wrenching all wrapped into one story.



I used China Glaze Flip Flop Fantasy as a base, with MAC Showy applied by dipping the end of a straw in the bottle of polish, then aiming it at the nail, and forcefully blowing air through the straw to splatter it. I topped it off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.

Flippety flop! (I think it's about nap time for this redhead- why can't we have siestas here in the US?)

Essence Base Coat e & Top Coat feet!!

mmmmm!!! Non è che sia rimasta particolarmente soddisfatta da questo prodotto.

L'ho provato ma in realtà non è coprente come speravo e considerando che io non ho, purtroppo, delle unghie dei piedi perfette, il risultato è stato un mezzo disastro.

Sarà che in mente avevo un'idea diversa di bianco.



La confezione comprende due smalti uniti.
Hanno una doppia apertura lo step 1 è il coat base ovvero il trasparente.
Lo step 2 è il top coat ovvero il bianco.

Lo smalto in sè non è male tant'è che ho deciso di utilizzarlo sulle mani!

Il colore è lattigginoso e la combinazione dei due tende a dare una leggerissima, quasi impercettibile sfumatura di viola.


Molto carino l'effetto anche se l'idea di partenza era diversa. Pensavo infatti ad uno smalto coprente che non facesse vedere le imperfezioni dell'unghia.


Questo è l'effetto sull'unghia.....ho le traveggole io o la sfumatura la vedete anche voi???!!!!

More gel nails...

I've been doing lots and lots of gel nails lately. It's the trend now I guess? 

Pink tips and crystals and ready made roses. This shade of pink gel color is my most popular pink! 

This is not overly sweet. I like!

Gel overlay on her natural nails. A proper overlay must not be too thin or too thick, and of cos the structure and surface of the gel nail must not be bumpy. It took me some time to understand the importance of this, and also how to create a smooth surface gel nail cos gel is not easy to control. This is also a reason why I feel that going to a nail school is important. Check out my school, Pink Room, if you're keen to learn.

Summer colors. Crushed shells inlay.

Blue, green and yellow crushed shells. Refreshing!

Hand made ribbons

Hand made ribbons in baby pink glitter. I love it. 

ELF Pearl

Hi everyone! Today I am bringing you a swatch from the ELF Royal Trio and today's swatch is Pearl. I have never owned a frosty white color before so this one I think will be fun for funky frenchs, but I definetly don't like the look of it alone on my nails! It is kind of sheer, this was two coats. It was kind of streaky as well; but what do you expect out of a frost? I must say though, that for $1 this is a mighty good polish! I hope that I can find good use for it!

It's Sprung!

Ok, so it's over 80°F here in Vegas, I dare say that Spring has SPRUNG! Today's nail design was a simple one, I had very little time after class before I went to the International Beauty Show to do anything terribly inspiring, but I still like how it turned out!! I used one of the new polishes from my haul yesterday from a brand I've never used/heard of before- Dare to Wear by Lechat, I have to say, the polish is great, it applied wonderfully, and was opaque in 2 coats. :) (and CHEAP- since it was a discontinued color, it was $1.25 at the show. :-D Happy nail blogger here!! I also got to check out the new Shellac from CND, the lovely Kristina applied it to two of my nails. I'll post more details tomorrow about it!! :)



I used Dare to Wear Inspiring Surroundings as a base, with China Glaze DV8 applied with Konad Plate s9, and topped off with 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat.

Ta-Ta for now.. I'm off to see Confessions of a Mormon Boy at the ONYX Theater here in Vegas. :-D Have a great night!! :)

Another Random Update!

Sorry about no manicure again guys, I have not been feeling well. My cold has gotten a lot worse, I feel like my lungs are going to collapse and my throat could sand wood. I can barely even talk lol. I sound like a frog.....ribbit ribbit.

Anyways, I really want to thank everyone who wished me a happy birthday yesterday, I really appreciate the good thoughts and well wishes! Also, thank you to those who wished that I felt better, hopefully this cold will go away very soon so I can focus on my studies, finals are coming up fast! And once they are done I can finally catch up on my blogging, I feel so out of the nail blogging loop! So much so that I have not bought nail polish in almost two months! Hooray for successful no-buys! Don't worry, I still have a couple of week's worth of nail polish swatches for you all lol!

My birthday went really well for those of you who wanted to know. My boyfriend took me to the local aviary and we got to see all of the cool birds. I even found a duck who thought himself a flamingo! I saw him stand on one leg and try to go to sleep; someone's been spending too much time in the flamingo pond lol. I wish that I had thought to take a picture of him, it was precious!

I can't believe that I forgot to mention it on this blog, but I featured fellow nail blogger Toxin's awesome bridge piercing on my other blog Playing With Piercings, you should check it out if you are interested! I hope that you all are having an awesome weekend!

Swatch: CND No. 565 Sweet

(above camera flash - below natural light)

My first CND polish and I really love it. I love the color, the formula and the brush.

The only let down is that is really similar to other two colors that I already have: ORLY Pixy Stix and basic 42. They are not identical but very similar. Below you can see a comparision.

The first time I saw Sweet was on ALU and I loved it immediately. I didn't purchase his "twin" Sugar Sparkle because I already had a KIKO polish that looked similar so here is Sweet with a layer of KIKO 228. The final look is ok but maybe in the future I will still purchase Sugar Sparkle because it seem really nice.

Here the comparion I talked about above.

As you can see the colors are similar but different.

Compared to Sweet, Pixy Stix is more peach toned and the basic polish is more darker.

Swatch: ORLY PIXY STIX

(above camera flash - below natural light)

Another ORLY polish from their Sweet Collection.

I really like this color but when I wore it I had the impression that it was similar to CND Sweet and a basic polish. I will compare it in the CND post.

Vintage flower nail art from SCawaii April 2010

I absolutely love this nail art and I want to try make it on my nails asap, but unfortunately I have a cut on my middle finger and I'm trying to leave my nails alone for a while.

Vi presento Marlene Nagelkur!

Ecco Marlene.
Scoperta per caso durante lo shopping al mio negozio di forniture per parrucchieri di fiducia.

Cercavo uno smalto UV semipermanente in alternativa a quello di Clarissa e mi hanno detto di questa Linea.




Ragazze una varietà di colori sorprendente!!

Gli smalti normali sono quelli della Linea Lilì Nagellacke!

Colori super brillanti e particolari, ideali in vista dell'estate.
Tempo di asciugatura 90 secondi e tenuta fino a 2 settimane. Ci sono anche i glitter!

Il nagel Juwel farbige è invece il gel UV. 36 diverse tonalità, adatto ad unghie naturali e ricostruite.
Asciuga sotto la lampada a 36w in 2/3 minuti. Mi sembra che il costo sia intorno ai 27,00 euro.
Comunque l'idea sarebbe a breve di andarlo a comprare in modo da farvi vedere dal vivo com'è sperando che sull'unghia il colore sia identico a come lo si vede perchè sono troppo belli.

In più ovviamente ci sono tanti prodotti specifici per la ricostruzione come tips, gel, lime, pennelli e decorazioni ma anche prodotti per la cura delle mani come le creme o gli oli per cuticole.

Se avete voglia di dare un'occhiata sfogliate il catalogo

Dino-MITE!!

Heidy-ho, neighbors! :) Today was a great day!! I participated in Corporate Challenge earlier (a Las Vegas competition between a bunch of corporations where we compete in sports, card games, etc), today's event was Kart Racing. Too bad Mike S. came in 7th, or we might have placed. :-P (Yes, Mike, that was another jab, lol) ANYWAY. lol Another fun thing I got to do today is go to the International Beauty Show! I'd never been to it before, so it was like being a kid in a candy shop... a tad overwhelming, but awesome. It was cool to see people like Nick Arrojo cutting hair a few feet away (and yes, I put in my phone number to be a hair model!! lol). I also loved going around to see all the nail booths, Nubar, CND, China Glaze, Minx, CalGel, etc. There are so many fun techniques- and I swear when I get my project done, I REALLY wanna try CalGel, it looks super rad... and I'm thinking that Shellac is going to be a must-have for this summer on my toes!!! Anyway- I'm hoping to have time to go back tomorrow, and I'll definitely be writing more about what I found, bought, saw, etc. in the next few days! :)

On to the nails... a girl named Danielle in my culinary class suggested that I do Dinosaurs.. I totally thought it was a kick ass idea, so I did it!! It's a T-Rex on my thumb, and dino footprints across the other nails! :)



I used MAC Abalone Shell as a base for the footprint nails, with Essie Mink Muffs and Zoya Dea sponged lightly on top, as well as for the footprints. For the T-Rex nail, I used Orly Snowcone for the background, L.A.Girl Army Green for the T-Rex, Nubar Forest for the shading and part of the lines, American Apparel Hassid for the eye, and the outlines, and Green Scene for the leaves at the bottom. I used Essie Matte About You on the footprint nails, and 2 coats of Seche Vite top coat on the dino nail.

RAAAAARRRRRRRRRR!!

Nuovi acquisti: Rossetto nude di Collistar, Sephora,Too faced e H&M...

Dato che Sabato scorso non avevo trovato da Sephora la palette Original della Sleek, oggi ci sono ritornata...
Ma nulla ancora solo la Acid e proprio non mi piace.
Ma non mi sono persa d'animo avevo già la mia bella lista della spesa...



Dopo che Cristina Generale aveva recensito con un video il rossetto della Collistar "Vibrazioni di colore" n° 18 Nudo, non ho resistito e sono andata a vederlo dal vivo.

Anche io come lei sono anni che cerco un effetto nudo che faccia brillare le mie labbra e non le spenga in un tono di beige smorto...
Ebbene questo rossetto e' stupendo!!! Cremoso, morbidissimo e leggerissimo ma perfettamente coprente...

Vi avviso subito che le mie labbra sono molto screpolate causa allergia...quindi chiedo venia!

Vi farò gli swatch al sole perche' con il neon non rende ... ma e' stupendo!!!


Insieme ho abbinato a 4,90 euro la mini matita della Sephora la "02 cute caramel", volevo una resa leggera e non marcata e questa matita e' lievemente (ma veramente di poco ) più scura del rossetto quindi perfetta!!!

Poi all'appello non poteva mancare lo Starry Eyed, l'eyeliner glitter della Too faced nella colorazione "Mad mad love" che mi si era seccato dopo un bel po' e senza non posso assolutamente stare...rende un trucco naturale, super speciale con i mini glitter che ha!

Poi inizia "l'era" della stesura del fondotinta con il pennello e ne ho preso uno di Sephora...vedremo come mi trovo... :-)

Poi per le volte che vado di fretta ho voluto provare sempre per il fondotinta la spugnetta Dual Effect Sponge sempre di Sephora che promette di stendere il fondotinta in modo più o meno coprente al seconda del lato che si usa...

Giusto per non farmi mancare nulla mi sono comprata anche un glitter eyeliner viola di H&M non sembra male per nulla...anche se i glitter del test che ho fatto non sono fittissimi come quelli della Too faced...


Sono molto contenta dei miei acquisti...vi farò sapere presto come mi trovo...
