Dior Lucky

Hey everyone!
I haven't been posting because I have had a busy week. And I didn't have time to do my nails.
But I did purchase this Dior polish last weekend, and I love it! It's the perfect coral.
It is part of the Dior addict collection, along with three other shades I didn't see the need to buy.

The application is just like all the other Diors. The color is a pink coraly red, with the usual very subtle fine silver shimmer that Dior has acustomed us to.
These are very pigmented, just like the associated lipstick line, so one coat is enough. 

I loved the color, so much that I think I will be wearing it again. My camera had an alergic reaction to it, and didn't catch the coral in it. So the true color is actually the second picture.

You can really spot the fine shimmer in this picture

I tried to find a dupe in my collection but I don't own one. I have it lined up with some of the polishes that I think most resembles it. 

Make up with my new Sigma brushes

I got some new brushes from Sigma a few days ago and thought I'd try them out.

The first one, and the most important one because I will use it everyday, is the one for foundation F80, it's got nice soft bristles, and it works very well, the foundation looks very natural when applied with this brush. I am very happy with this purchase. It was 16$ and I think the delivery to France was about 8$.

Along with this one I also bought the E30, which is a small blending brush, that I bought for blending in the crease, because my other blending brush is way too big. I am very happy with this one too, and it was 9$. I think these are just as good as the MAC brushes and a lot cheapper, I remember I payed for my MAC 217 blending brush 24€.

On to the make up I did. I always put a moisturiser on before applying the make up, around the eyes I use Clarins anti-rides, and on the face Avene Yysthéal+ Anti-rides. 

After I apply my foundation, which is Make up Forever HD high definition foundation. I really love this! I have used other foundations, but I always come back to this one, because it is light, and doesn't make my face look like I have tons of make up on, providing in the same time good coverage.

Around the eyes I am currently using MAC concealler Studio FPS 35. I am not really into this one, but I bought it and I have to finish it. I find it too thick, and noticeble under my eyes. I previously had HD from Make up forever, but that one is extremely expensive for 2 ml. But I was super happy with it. This one has 7gr so that's a plus, but the product is not as good.

To fix this in place I use compact powder. I prefer compact, because loose is well loose, and I always find myself cleaning up afterwards. At the moment I am using Benefit Get Even. It's ok, but I think I should have bought a different color. I have a very light skin and usually buy the lightest shade in foundation, powder etc.

Then I proceed with the eyes, I always use a primer and I prefer Too Faced Shadow Insurance. It is the best, the shadow does not move throughout the day, and it is easy to work with.

The eyeshadow I used was Wet'n'Wild Knock on Wood. I ordered these on nonpareilboutique. These are super cheap and great quality, very soft, and well pigmented. I only used the bottom colors, because the browbone color is really too dark for me to use it as a highlighter. So the one in the middle was applied with the E30 brush.

As a highlighter I used this Rimmel:

The mascara I am using right now is Dior Extase, I fell in love with this one, and I am not letting it go.
And the eyeliner I used on my lower waterline, is a L'oreal pencil, but can't really tell you which color, because the name has dissapeared. I really love this pencil, I use it a lot.

So this is the finished look:

Wet'n'Wild Comfort zone palette

I just received this palette I ordered on Nonpareilboutique - love this site this is the only way I can have palettes like this in France.

These cost 5.5$ and they're worth every penny and more. These are very good quality eyeshadows and come in all sorts of shades.

I chose Comfort Zone because it goes well on my skin tone.

Here are the photos:

I just love the one up on the left . It's my favourite

I also ordered two Nyx jumbo pencils one in Cottage Cheese and the other in Strawberry Milk. I really don't know what to do with these, I bought them to use as eye make up base, but I find them too thick. 

And this is a little make up I did using some of the shades in the palette

I know I don't have excellent make up skills but hey, I try!

Tell me about your palettes, what do you recommend? 

Swap with Carolina

Before going on vacation I had arranged a swap with Carolina from Colores de Carol, and I got the package today!! I got so much nail mail today. I actually received a package from Illamasqua that I had already thought it was lost forever.
So I got Braziliant, Essie resort 2011, and lots of new stuff. But for now let me show you what I got from Carolina.

Nicole by OPI - I love you cherry much, Enchantress, Sounds grape to me

China Glaze - Urban Night, Finger Paints - Amethyst Atelier, Finger Paints - Private Collection

SH - Pumpkin Spice, SH-Very Cherry, SH-Teeny Greeny Bikini, SH - Set the Stage, WnW - SaGreena the teenage witch

The yellow franken she made and I loved, Revlon Cherries in the snow, Glitter  Gal - White

Thank you Carolina!!

Essie - Cantaloupe

Essie Cantaloupe is exactely what it says it is the color of the Cantaloupe or a faded peach color.
It's a cream and it needed about 3 coats for opacity. I had some trouble with the application on this one, even with the second coat it had streaks, but the third one did the trick. Still I found this weird, because usually Essie cream are perfect in two coats.
Anyway because of the three coats, I had some shrinking, with the Seche vite on the tips, and that's why it looks kinda like tip wear. And excuse the horrible cuticules.
I also did a comparison with Wet'n'Wild Blazed and Revlon Peachy.
The Revlon is almost a dupe of this one.

Pink Wednesday - Wet'n'Wild - Dreamy Poppy

Hey guys guess what it's Wednesday again, and on Wednesdays we wear pink!!
I am so loving this!!
Today's is a lovely cream bright pink I got in my swap with Carolina.
It applies a bit on the thick side but I had no problem with that, no cleaning up after either. The brush is really thin, but I like it!!
In other news I have reached 100 followers so I will be posting a giveaway soon.
On top of my ponk polish I applied some clouds with my Konad plate m79, and special white konad polish.
I really love how this turned out!!
Here are the photos:

Wet'n' Wild Blazed

My first ever Wet'n'Wild nail polish ever!! And it is thanx to Carolina again!!
I love the shape of the bottles, they are so pretty.
This one is a beautiful Peachy cream nail polish. It was opaque in two coats, and the formula is great. And I think these are quite cheap in the states, because these can not be found in Europe, I've found some sites that do deliver in Europe, but they are not always stocked with the most recent collections.
Wet'n'Wild also makes make up - I've actually bought 3 sets of eye shadow and they are really cheap - 3$ a piece, and they are great quality products. I bought mine on this site www.nonpareilboutique.com
I added a coat of red Shatter from OPI over this.
And bonus : OPI white Shatter over Dior Aloha.
