Swatches: This and that

I have so much crap in my "not blogged"-folder. Sometimes because I couldn't get a decent pic of the product or swatch, most of the time it's because I just dont know what to write about it. So.. Here's a mixed tape. Heh.
Lots of products that I have bought, photographed, swatched, but not written about. Holler if you want more info or pics, or even a look, with any of the products! :)

First up - La Femme Professional Wooden Eye Pencil in Teal, Purple, Auburn, Dark Brown


Quick review: Really long, wooden pencils. Super classic. Quite hard, with ok payoff.
Cost: $1.49 USD

Mehron Paradise Glitter in Shamrock Green and Mehron Glitter Dust in Opalescent White.



Quick review: Just simple glitters. The glitter dust is amazing and I do use it alot.
Cost: $3.99 USD
Where: Camerareadycosmetics.com

Graftobian Glitter Powder - Gold


Quick review: Simple glitter. Nothing more, nothing less.
Cost: $4.29 USD
Where: Camerareadycosmetics.com

Quick review: Pigmented, easily applied. Dries decently fast. Wide brush. I like'em.

A whooole bunch of lashes!
Ardell Corset - 503, Red Cherry #47 & #46, Eyelure Definition No 121, Kiss Looks So Natural - Flirty.

Quick review: The corset-ones was unevenly made, and sat weird on the eyes.. Red Cherry #46s are my favorites, so I bought four more pairs. And #47s because they looked cool. And they are humongous. The Eyelure-ones are supper pretty but quite hard in the stem. The Kiss-ones are so soft you cant even feel them when you thouch'em. Amazing.
Cost: Ardell: $3.49 USD, Red Cherry: $2.50 USD, Eyelure: $4.99 USD, Kiss: $3.95 USD.

ESC

All though I did not activly watch Eurovision Song Contest, we had it on in the background while playing a few games of Munchkin. But ESC = glitter makeup! :D

My makeup looked like crap in the photos though, and I still do not have a good way too add glitter on top of eyeshadow without it all getting screwed up..
So I liked this makep from a far, but up close it's just messy.. Dried up liner and creasy glitter. Wah.

Reluz & Cake!

Me and Mr. Confusion went to see The Amazing Spider-man 2 a few weekends ago, so I went all gray.. Because reasons. Haha. Gray is almost white, my hair is red and I had a blue multichrome nailpolish on. Almost Spider-man. Good enough.
Also, I really want my liquid liner to arrive soon. Gel liners do not love me.

Review: Glossybox London Calling

Glossybox released a special box, created because of the love for brittish brands.
This box was sold out in less than 24 hours, and I was one of the people that was too late. Fortunately, a few of the swedish bloggers had a sort of an competition that one could win, and one of the ones was me. So thanks a bunch, Sanna at Purity Beauty!




This box contained eight fullsize products!

Nails Inc Kensington Caviar Top Coat (10 ml)
- A fastdrying and glossy top coat. You know what? This top coat easily beats Seche Vite. I think it actually dries a bit faster than SV, it does not have that gloopy formula, no tip shrinkage and it does not discolour white nailpolishes. It's a bit more expensive though, but with SV you need to buy a bottle of Restore, or trow out the bottle when it's half done. Go go Caviar Top Coat!

Steamcream All-In-One Natural Moisturiser For Face, Body & Hands (75g)
 - I can't figure out it I like this or not. It's too oily for my face, but not moistureising enough for body or hands. I dont know. I like the smell though. Hint of lavender and herbs (a friend of mine said it smelled like mosquito repellants..Boys..) The jar is pretty though! All brittish and stuff, haha.

NailGirls London - White#1(10 ml)
 - Not the greatest white nailpolish, but not the worst. Two heavily coats would cover the nail, but make it gloopy. Three thin ones would be the better choice, but with the forumla it was quite hard. Free from Toluene, Camphor, Formaldehyde and Dibutyl Phthalate!

 

Eyeko Skinny Mini Liquid Eyeliner - Black (1,2g)
 - At first, I looooved this eyeliner! It was pigmented, easy to use and the filtpoint was awesome. Then 2-3 weeks later, it started to dry and I can barely do a wing without using it a couple of times. Bah. Too bad, I really liked it.. 

MeMeMe Cosmetics Beat The Blues Skin Illuminator - Oyster Gold (12 ml)
 - Score! Such a pretty highlighter! A weird, nailpolish-like applicator that I don't use. Love love love the product though!

Helene É Cosmetics Lasting Lip Colour - Caribbean (3,5 g)
- I don't really know about the 'lasting' part, but for a coral-ish coloured lipstick, I am quite fond of it. 

Mitchell And Peach Luxury Hand Cream (60ml)
- Luxury? Meh. I don't know. It's hand cream. It's not sticky and it gets into the skin quite quckily. Don't know about the smell either, it says to contain herbs and honey. Herb I definitly get, but .. No.. Meh. 

Batiste Dry Scampoo - Blush (50 ml - Travelsize)
- Batiste is a staple in my home. It's cheap, easy, smells nice and does the trick. 

Swatches of the Skin Illuminator, the eyeliner and the lipstick

Wearing the Illuminator, the eyeliner and the lipstick!
