Simple NOTD Sunday

To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of blue nail polishes. I love variations of blue, as in teal, aqua, etc, I even like a dark, dark, navy, but only because it is close to black. Unsurprisingly, blue does not take up much room in my nail polish collection, however, any excuse to purchase nail polish is a good one, so it was necessary to buy some of this shade. Hey, I'm good at justifying a beauty purchase! 
As I had mentioned in my previous Sunday NOTD post, I had made quite a large nail polish order with Ozsale buying from the Layla range.
I'm not completely sold on this shade 29, but the colour is growing on me. I love the subtle silver shimmer of this Ceramic Effect polish. The name of the finish is so fitting, it really dries to a ceramic look.

 Are you a fan of blue?

    How interesting! I've never heard of a ceramic finish before. It looks great!

    I'm not too good with blues either! I bought a navy coat and it was fine, I'm ok with baby blue nail polishes but I can't seem to wear the "in-between" blues. Although, I like it looks good on your hand ^_^

    OMG, I was just checking out the online store of a trade shop I plan on visiting tomorrow and had made a note to check out these ceramic polishes while there, blue probably wouldn't be my first choice but I'm glad to see a snap of how they look in real life. A bit more tempted..

      I love them, Hailey. Some can be a bit streaky, but 2 coats seem to fix that. Have fun choosing some gorgeous polishes, hun :)

    Well, that's weird. I left a comment here before and I could have sworn it posted. Anyway, if you'd like to try some of the Arcanas just email me your address to deedee255 at gmail dot com. I'd be happy to send you some decants to try out. :-)

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design. Opening the palet...

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw...

It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector

Image
I was once again sucked into buying some bargain products from Ozsale . Part of my order was 4 serums from the brand It's Skin. Being a Korean brand I really wanted to try some products. I couldn't find a lot of information about It's Skin online, but the Power 10 Formula range sounded pretty good. I really wanted to try them all at once, but to get an idea of how each serum performed I restrained myself by using one serum at a time. The first one I tried was the VC Effector. The serum is no longer available on Ozsale, but I found it for sale on Beauty Bay - "A clarity improving skin serum designed for all skin types. Enriched with a blend of naturally derived, active ingredients, the It's Skin Power 10 Formula VC Effector worfs effectively to reduce the appearance of discolouration and dark spots. With a lightweight serum texture its quickly absorbed into the skin offering brightening and lightening effects, whilst simultaneously suppressing melanin prod...
