Sleek Makeup Haul

 I've been wanting to try this cosmetic brand for a while now and I placed an order at Zapikonai online store couple of days ago. I got my items in this two cute little bags. And what I ordered?

 First item is this FACE CONTOUR KIT that includes two shades- pressed powder in light color (darker shade) and highlighter in lighter shade. I will use this as my contouring details under my chickbones and sides of my forhead.

 Then I got one BLUSH in shade FLAMINGO. Gorgeous pinkish- peachy color. First photo on direct sunlight, second photo in natural daylight.

 This is how it looks on my skin. Again, first in direct sunlight, other in natural daylight.

 This item was included as an extra. It is a lipgloss, raspberry color with some silver sparkles.

Than I got this liquid foundation tester kit, to see which color looks best on my skin. It includes 5 different shades:

1. SHELL the lightest one
2. SAND
3. CALICO
4. BAMBOO
5. LATTE is the darkest shade

 I also bought creme to powder foundation kit in LIGHT shade. This kit has 5 different shades:

1. SHELL the lightest shade
2. SAND
3. CALICO
4. BAMBOO
5. LATTE is the darkest shade

 And the most important item is this one... I- Divine mineral based eyeshadow palette- THE ORIGINAL.

 It has 12 different eyeshadows, large mirror and two sided sponge applicator (that I won't be using with this one; I wish it would come with a regular brush for eyeshadows).

 Here are pictures on direct sunlight. I wish  the shadows would have names, but I couldn't found them if they have them. So, here are black, yellowy nude, purple and very gentle pinkish  nude.

 Here are deep blue, peachy rosy color, light blue and orange- bronzy color.

 And here is greenish blue color, green, bronzy and olive green color. They are all shimmery, except the black one is matt. This is definitely not the last palette I got from this brand, because I just adore the colors and the payoff and they are quite afordable- 10,75€ each. Definitely recommend SLEEK!

New Manhattan and new Nfu.OH combined

Because I love the Nfu.OH #51 polish so much, ofcourse my next mani is using that polish. And as I said, i bought perfect base color for flakies polish- Manhattan # 13. It has a cream finish and it's royal blue color.

Application is super easy, the brush is also good quality. I applied two coats, just to acchieve bold reach color.

And over I applied Nfu.OH #51. The base is bluish purple color, but on it's own does not give full coveredge.  I tried to capture all the colors of flakies, so that's why so many pictures :-)

Oh, I just loveeeee it!!!!

Nail polish haulin'- Essence, Manhattan, NfuOH, Opi, Orly

I did a bit of shopping and this polishes I added to my collection. First, let's start with Nfu.OH most wanted and desired :-) #51. All nail polish adicts must know this one and I had to have it also :-) This one has all the colors of the rainbow (well, almost:-) ) flakes in them. It has a purple- blue base color and in them you can find green, yellow, red and orange flakes. I don't have to tell you that it has a flake finish, right :-) ?

Direct sunlight:

 Natural daylight:

 I thought this would be perfect base color for the Nfu.OH 51 and it's from Manhattan Limited edition LOTUS EFFECT #13. Deep blue, almost royal blue color that I just fell in love with.

 Next one from the same edition (also Manhattan) is #16 and it's greyih dusty color with cream finish. I love the formula of these two and the brush, that is perfect for three strokes application and it doesn't leave any marks. I just hate gorgeous polishes that have a such a bad brush that totally ruin the polish. 

 Next one is from Orly COFFIE BREAK. And it really reminds me of coffie with added milk, grey natural color. Also with cream finish.

 This one is from Essence Multi dimension XXXL shine MAKES ME WEEK. Very natural peachy nude color with a cream finish, more appropriate for school/job... and great base color for KONADing for example!

Natural daylight: 

1. ORLY Coffie break
2. ESSENCE Makes me week
3. MANHATTAN #16

Direct sunlight:

And here is one from my wish list that I wanted since I got Black shatter, this one is RED SHATTER ofcourse :-) Can't wait to try this one!!!!

 Wich one is your favorite of the bunch?

Review: KKcenterhk eyelashes

 I was recently contacted by KKcenterhk to do a review about this eyelashes. I was glady to do so, mainly because I don't have a lot of experiences with fake eyelashes and I want to expand my knowledge. They have online store that have all sorts of beauty products- wigs, eyelashes, eyeshadow palettes, makeup brushes, jewerly etc. Check out the store!

 Well, this kit contains 10 pairs of eyelashes in black color. They are called BLACK DENSLY FALSE  EYELASHES and the item number is A155. They are reusable if you remove the carefully. How cool is that???

Pictures me wearing them will be coming up soon!
