Opi Minis and hooping :)

Hı Everyone, How are things going with all of you? Today I am going to show you some OPI polish.   As you can see from the picture I got the OPI mini nail polish sets from the 'Germany Collection' and the 'Skyfall 007' collection. Also there is a Hula Hoop in the picture - I am so excited about it. Lets start with the Germany Collection. The minis come with 4 colours from the collection. We have 'Don't Pretzel My Buttons'. 'Nein! Nein! Nein! OK Fine' , 'Unfor-greta-bly Blue' and 'Suzi & the 7 Dusseldorfs'. I love the names :) I will describe the colours of the four polishes in the picture from left to right. Suzi & the 7 Dusseldorfs - this is a medium toned purple colour which is very buildable. With a couple of coats you can reach a very rich purple colour.  Unfor-greta-bly Blue - this is a medium toned blue colour, however I didn't find anything amazing about this colour. It is a v

Hi Everyone, I found China Glaze for sale in Turkey on  sanslikadin.com Yeah :) I haven't been able to find China Glaze in Turkey untill I found it on this website. I bought 4 of the shades they had available for Halloween. These shades actually come from the 2011 Halloween collection but I am just happy I found any China Glaze :) If you know where I can find China Glaze in Turkey leave a comment below.   This shade is called Crimson. It is a very dark dark purple colour. It is so dark it is almost black. It has a very nice glossy finish.       Look at this shade :) It is called Ghoulish Glow!! The best thing about it is it really glows in the dark :) This  is a great fun topcoat which is perfect for Halloween. I tried to take a photo of it glowing in the dark but it didn't turn out very good. This colour is called Haunted. It is black with fine silver glitter.                                                             The final colour I got ıs called Near Dark. Nea

Haul Time / Shopping Spree :)

Hi Everyone, I have been shopping - yay :) I went to Sephora, Bath and Body Works, MAC, New Balance and Watsons. Ok lets start with Sephora. In Sephora I bought the Yves Saint Laurent rouge volupte perle in shade 101 which is called Beige Caress. I have been so in love with the packaging of this lipstick for such a long time. Just look at how beautiful it is. The colour is a nude colour with glitter. It is such a good everyday colour. The next thing I bought from Sephora is the 'How to look the best at Everything - Flawless Complexion Makeup Kit'. I got this ın the colour light. This is a great way to try out some of the products form Benefit that I have been thinking about purchasing before commiting to buy a full sized product. The set contains: The Porefessional pro balm to minimize the appearance of pores. I have been looking for a new primer so this will give me the chance to try the Porefessional, I have heard a lot of good things about this product. The kit

Vanilya Club October Box 2012

Image
It's that time of the month again. What time of the month is that I hear you all ask. Yes it is Vanilya Club time again. I just love to get mail :)) This months box comes in the stanard cream coloured Vanilya Club box that we are all used to. The boxes for August and September were very disappointing for me. Fingers crossed this box will be a good one. From first glance into the box it looks good. I am excited lets have a closer look at what is in this months beauty box. This is the first thing that caught my attention the minute I opened the box. It is the Alessandro Go Magic Twist Spacey Grey. This is a magnetic nail varnish and the reason I am so excited about this is the fact that the magnet isn't the usual diagonal line design. It is a star :) I haven't been able to find any nail polish with this design in Turkey so I am happy. The colour seems to be a nice colour also. A silvery grey colour - very good colour for Autumn/Fall. The next item in this box is anot

My Urban Decay collection

Hi Everyone, Ok, so Urban Decay has been my favourite brand of eye make up since I was 16. And it still is! I love the colours, the formulation, the edgy packaging and the numerous looks you can create from any of their palettes.                                                              This is my collection. One of my first things I ever bought from Urban Decay was an eye shadow,I used to stand for ages looking at the Urban Decay counter in awe of all the amazing products.                                                                    This is CRASH. The shadow is a deep plum / purple colour with microglitter. The one I have is in the old Urban Decay packaging and has unfortunately been discontinued.                                                      This is the sustainable shadow box                  which comes in a beautiful wooden box with butterflies and flower detailing. This product is available on www.urbandecay.com & www.houseoffraser.co.uk. Unfort

Yes!!It's Vanilya box time again. I always get excited when it comes to Vanilya box time. It is like getting a little present for myself in the post every month :) So this is what my box looks like this month. Lets have a look inside :) HELLO KITTY ! Ok as much as I love Hello Kitty this is not the type of stuff I was expecting to recieve in a Vanilya Box. On first impressions I think I will be giving these to my 4 year old daughter. Come on Vanilya box this is a subscription service for ADULTS!! Ok Lets have a closer look at the products. 20 Sticky Plasters  with 4 different designs- Just in case I fall and get a booboo. Dipliner -  An extreme black liquid eyeliner. This is the only thing in the box that I might possibly keep for myself. The only reason I will keep it is because I won't give my little daughter eyeliner :) Hello Kitty Lip Gloss in number 08 - It looks like a medium brown colour however, the formulation is extremely sticky.
