Review: KKCenterhk 3D Nail accessory and nail foil

 Company KKCenterhk has sent to me this to products for reviewing purpose. First item are these 3D nail art accessory stickers. Item number is LV-o3 and they are only 1,50$. How cool is that? They are stickers, so you just cut them to right sizes and place them on your nails.  

 Next item is this nail art foil. I got them in gold and this costs only 0,80$! They are self- adhesive and you don't need any glue to place them on your nails. You just cut stripes and place them.

Here I used three small stripes and place them on my nail. they look very elegant and super cute! 

Take a look at their website, they have a lot of products for nail art, as long as makeup, wigs etc....

Catrice Cought on the red carpet feat. Essence Special effect topper- SOFT TOUCH

If you follow my blog regulary, you know I don't wear reds a lot, I don't know why... I think red just doesn't suits my personality :-) But this one cought my eye. It's Catrice's Cought on the red carpet. It's dark red, almoust vampy color, that I just could't resist :-)

Here are pictures on direct sunlight and it almost loks like berry color and on natural daylight it's true red. But this pictures are not 100% acurate, because I just could't capture true shade of red. In reality it's a bit more darker. 

I applied two coats. It has cream finish, so no sparkles, glitters or anything. It applied smoothly. Love the brush and the formula of this one. 

  And because it was just a  bit too red for me, I decided to try this new special effect topper from Essence- SOFT TOUCH (it will come out soon, with new line of products for fall and winter) over it. Do you remember those polishes from trend edition BLACK&WHITE that Essence lounched a couple of months ago? They had kind of leather looking finish? Well, this topcoat look exactly like that! It's not completly matt finish and not  a shiny one, somewhere in between.

So, this red polish became kind of red leather looking one :-) Love it!!!! I applied one coat and it transfer to this finish in seconds. I didn't applied any other top coat, because this one dries quite fast. What do you this about this red polish on me :-) ?

Catrice In the bronx

 I wanted to show you this polish from Catrice called IN THE BRONX. I think this one is just gorgeous! It is dark gold, almoust bronze color. It has sparkle finish.

I applied two coats and finished it with a topcoat from Seche vite. I like the formula, brush and finish of this one. Here you can sparkles very well, but in real it's even more sparkly :-)

Definitely recommend!

China glaze 2NITE

 This polish has been on my WL since.... FOREVER! Well, since this collection came out :-) And the sweetest girl Caroline purchested it for me (and some other goodies too!)

Isn't this one just amazing? I'm sure you already have it and enjoy it :-) I applied two coats and in between I waited it complety dried. Love the formula, the finish and the brush of this one. Still, holographic finish is my favorite.

  Here are pictures on direct sunlight and on natural daylight. What a diffeence! This polishes becomes alive on sunny day!

CATRICE haul

 I picked up few more products from Catrice. 

First is liquid foundation INFINITE MATT UP TO 18 HOURS MAKE UP- long lasting shine control hydrating oil- free foundation. I picked up no. 020 honey beige, I think this one is closest to my skintone. Bottle has a punmp and it holds 30 ml or 1,01 fl. oz. When I'll try it, I'll write a review about it. Price: 7,79€

 Next are three nail polishes that cought my eye. First is 320 BACK TO BLACK- granite shiny color, gorgeous!

 Next one is 460 IN THE BRONX- golden bronzy color, also very beautifull!

 And this one is 440 I WEAR MY SUNGLASSES AT NIGHT- black base color with purple, green, silver and orange fine glitters. Price: 2,69€

 And last item I bought goes with the lash growth serum that promises 25% longer lashes in 30 days. I'll be having an experiment, stay tuned!

DEPEND haul

Hi again! Thank you for tuning in! As I said before, I went back to buy me some more regular Depend polishes, because I was very happy about the crackled ones, I wanted to try regular polishes too....

 I bought three od them that were kind of nothing I have in my collection yet. I picked up no.221, 227 and 247. 

I decided to try 247 first and let me tell you guys! I AM IMPRESSED!!!! In the bottle it looks gorgeous, but on nails it trully comes alive! Here you can see ONLY 1 coat! Can you believe it??!? It has gorgeous metallic finish in blue color. This is trully an unique polish!

 You have to have quite stady hand to apply this one, because every little move you make with brush is showen on nail, but I think every metallic polish does that. 

 IT's light blue color with metallic finish as I said. Only negative about this brand I have, that the bottles are too small :-) Just because I love the formula, variety of colors, I wish the bottles were larger! 

Do you like it, do you :-)? I'm in love! This one is in my top 5 polishes, for sure!!!

CATRICE haul

As all my slovenia readers know, Catrice is coming to Slovenia!!!!! To all of you who already have Catrice in your stores, you can check this also :-) Well, because this is my first Catrice purchase (except some nail polishes), I went a bit crazy buying them, but my first impression about them is..... ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM!!!!

Let's start with this eyeshadow quad, called 040 NEVER LE ME GO! I decided first try out something in natural tones, to see the texture, blendability etc... Let me first tell you that I love the packaging- clear, very sturdy box! It has two shimmery and two shadows with pearl finish. I swatched them with no base and just lightly rubbed on my skin. First impression? Love it! Price: 4,99€

 Than I also bought this amazing blush brush. You can see that it's shapped wider from the front and sides are  flat, so it's appropriate for blush, bronzer or highlight application. It's super soft and fells nice against my skin! Price: 4,39€

 Than I heard so much about this mascara- EVOLUTION TO REVOLUTION MASCARA in black, that I just had to try it. This one is one of those mascaras, that offers two different looks- LOOK 1 for natural volume (that basically means that brush picks up less mascara) and LOOK 2 for dramatic volume and perfectly styled lashes (brush picks up more product). Price: 4,99€

 Than I picked up this INTENSICE LASH GROWTH SERUM that everybody is talking about. I have one from L'Oreal (that is not available in Slovenia, well I havent' seen it yet) and it's comming near the end, so I thought why not to try this one. It has a felt tip, very precise to apply it like a eyeliner on the roots of the lashes.

 The instructions says: the lash amplifying serum works while you sleep! 25% longer lashes in 30 days! If used in combination with Catrice Lash Growth mascara. Tested and proven. Apply serum like an eyeliner on lid. Effectiveness test with 20 women for 1 month. 80% of the responders agreed that their lashes appear much longer after using the mascara and serum for 30 days.

 Well, I didn't bought mascara, only serum and I'll see if my lashes get any longer after 30 days. Fingers crossed! Price: 5,49€

 This is another product I can't wait to try- EYE SHADOW BASE, that intensifies eye shadows and improves its durability. I haven't try it out with eye shadows, but I have high hopes for it! Price: 4,39€

 I got two smokey eyes sets- 020 SMOG OVER HONG KONG and 030 MEET ME AT THE BONFIRE. First is purple-pinkish and second one is in brown-natural tones. The packaging is also very sturdy and I love how it opens on side, not on top :-) It comes with two sided brush- sponge for shadows and brush for eyeliner. Loooove it! Price: 2,69€

 This eye shadow I will use for mainly highlighting under my browbones and it's 090 BRING ME FROSTED CAKE. It's nude color, close to my skintone, with matt finish. Price: 2,99€

And this LIPGLOSS is from LIMITED edition BOHEMIA. Great, shiny golden- orangy color that smells delicious and doesn't have bad taste! 

Which is your favorite item? And which review would you like to see first? 

Depend cracke polish

As some of you wanted me to show you these two polishes, I thought, why not combine them, right :-) ?

So, for my base color I used Essence SPARKLING CHAMPAGNER. As the name says, it sparkling light champagne- gold color, with frost finish. I applied two coats, just to acchieve true rich gold color. 

Then I used new DEPEND COSMETIC crackle topcoat in deep purple color. It works awsome, I could even say that works better than OPI shatter polish. The resoults are a bit different, here are more visible and bigger cracks, than OPI shatter has. 

 This is the final look I came up with and I hope you like it! Tomorrow I'll get me some more Depend polishes :-)
