Product Review: O.P.I. Mariah Carey Collection - Liquid Sand Nail Polish

Hi, everyone! Today's blog post is about an O.P.I nail polish from the Mariah Carey Liquid Sand collection. I got the color 123 'Can't let go'. I got it for New Year's Eve because I wanted something sparkly and more exciting than a plain color nail polish. I wondered if I should write about it now since it is about a month later but I thought, why not. You can still get it from a lot of places online and I think it is suitable for other special occasions as well not just New Year's Eve.

I really enjoyed wearing this nail polish and kept it on my nails for about a week after New Year's Eve. The color is absolutely beautiful and it didn't chip at all. Two coats of this is everything you need. If it does chip after all, you can easily fix it by applying a small amount on the blank spot because after it dries it will completely blend with the old layer of nail polish. I was worried that removing it from my nails would be hard because of all the glitter and the glue in it but it wasn't that hard at all and I used my regular nail polish remover. I greatly recommend the Liquid Sand collection for everyone who likes fun and glitter nail polish colors. I haven't tried any of the other colors yet but I would love to.

Thanks, for reading! :))

What I Got for Christmas (Part 3): Clarins "The Essentials " Make-Up Palette

Hello! This post is part 3 of What I Got for Christmas 2013 series (here are part 1 and part 2). It is about the Clarins "The Essentials" Christmas eyeshadow palette. It was quite a popular gift this season but I think there are still a lot of places online where you can get a hold of it.

The palette consists of 10 light and medium browns, perfect for a natural everyday look. When I first saw it I wasn't sure if it's going to work for me because the colors are quite warm. I prefer more neutral and cold-toned shades but I've found some great combinations that I love on my skin tone. All the eyeshadows are nicely pigmented, very soft and really easy to blend. Also, they are made of 93% natural ingredients which is better for your skin. One thing I don't like about the shadows is that they don't have names which would've made the palette even more fun!

What I also love about it is the packing. It's very convenient to use and I think would be perfect for travelling because it's very compact and light. The palette comes with a two-sided eyeshadow brush. I haven't used that yet but I think it would work nicely for applying the shadows. You will need another brush for blending, though. There is also a little schema that gives you ideas about how to best combine the colors and where to put them on the eye.

Overall, I really enjoy using this product and I recommend it to anyone that wants a good everyday natural eyeshadow palette. That's it for the What I Got for Christmas series, guys! Thanks so much for reading! :))

What I Got for Christmas (Part 2): Soap & Glory Supercat Extreme Eyeliner

Hi, everyone! This is the second post about what I got for Christmas 2013 (read the first post here). It is about the Soap & Glory Supercat Eyeliner Pen. 

I've been using this liner non-stop since I got it and I'm completely in love with it. The main reason for that is the fact it's super easy to use. Applying liquid liner has always been a bit of a struggle for me (and I don't even do a flick at the end) but with this one I'm able to do a nice thin line faster than ever. I guess the key for the easy application is the felt tip. It also does not smudge at all even if I don't use an eye primer underneath. 

Another great thing about this liner is its glossy finish. This is probably not something that everyone would like but it really helps the color to look more intense and vibrant. I also love the packaging. I think Soap & Glory really put in a lot of thought when it comes to packaging. 

It's super easy to do both thick and thin lines!

I really love this eyeliner and I would highly recommend it to anyone who's looking for a great look and an easy application. Thank you, so much for reading! Keep an eye out for part 3 of What I Got for Christmas 2013! :)
