SALLY HANSEN


SALLY HANSEN

Delicate Decadence Collection!

http://au.sallyhansen.com

I am one of those people who feel naked and 'not ready yet' unless my nails have been painted and 
I have some kind of makeup on before leaving the house. Even if it's just bb cream, lip balm and
mascara. Being a girl is the best fun and I love having the freedom and passion to be able to do these
things.

So if you're anything like me then you'll love these Sally Hansen 2-step gel nail polishes which are
made up of half regular nail lacquer and half gel formula which gives you the shine, bold colour and
long lasting result of an expensive professional gel manicure without the need for an LED light and
these are WAY easier to remove! They glide off just like normal nail polish which is much gentler on
your nails at the end of the day and keeps them strong and healthy.

This new collection of shades from the 'Delicate Decadence' collection consists of 6 shades.
Mauve-olous and Wine Stock (not pictured) as well as Plush Blush, Regal Rose, Pink Up and
Prince Char-mint. (Front top left to right pictured below)



These polishes give a beautiful shine even on their own without the gel top coat, however I have
found using the top coat makes all the difference in making these last twice as long and gives an
even higher glossier shine. Highly recommend not going without it!

Sally Hansen nail lacquers are available to purchase from Priceline, Priceline Pharmacy, Target,
Chemist Warehouse and Terry White Chemists Australia wide for a current RRP $16.95 each.

OPI WASHINGTON


O P I

Kerry Washington DC
Mini Collection

Fall/Winter 2016


I am a huge fan of OPI and their little mini packs! They are so cute and great to get a feel for the new
 shades they release and figure out weather it's worth purchasing one full size. This mini pack is a set
of four shades. Every now and then you will find OPI releases their mini collections in a range from
four, six or even ten different shades.

The four shades in this pack are called...
 'We The Female' - A blood cherry red. Sexy and powerful. This shade is my favourite!
'Pale To The Chief' - A barely there nude cream. Solid in colour, perfect for a classy occasion.
 'CIA = Color Is Awesome' - Bold, daring and mysterious! Love this rebel shade!
 'Never A Dulles Moment - Even bolder and more daring! Wear this shade to stand out in a crowd!

I love the red and pale pink shades and find myself reaching for these two shades the most!

There are a total of 15 shades you can find from this collection in their full size 15ml bottles.
The four shades mentioned above plus these ones below.

Stay Off The Lawn
Suzi - The First Lady Of Nails
Yank My Doodle
Freedom Of Peach
Squeaker Of The House
Shh... It's Top Secret!
Madam President
OPI By Popular Vote
Kerry Blossom
"Liv" In The Grey
Inside The ISABELLEtway



OPI nail polishes are great quality and worth the price! They dry quickly and the colour density is second to none. Always my first choice in lacquer. 

You can find OPI mini collections and all other full size shades available both online and in store at
Myer, David Jones and selected salons Australia wide.

The current RRP for this mini pack is $24.95
Pretty great value when you consider just one full size bottle of OPI retails for $19.95.


Which shade is your favourite?
Are you a fan of the mini bottles?

L'OREAL


L'OREAL PARIS

Infallible Pastel Gel Nail Duo Colour
&
Color Riche Brights Trio

Swatches & Review!

L'Oreal Paris Pastel Duel Ended Gel Nail Lacquers!

This new range of L'Oreal nail polishes are so great because you really get everything you need all 
in one place! With the The pastel duel ended gel nail lacquers which have the base coat and the top 
coat all in one! The duel ended packaging houses the two polishes in each end which come out easily 
and look just like the regular Le Vernis L'Oreal polishes you can buy individually.
I have recently been loving my 3 new shades in #42 "Unlimited Lollipink", #40 "Marshmallow Power" and #43 "Endless Candyheart" which are all pastel light shades and oh so pretty! My favourite being the Unlimited Lollipink!
#42 Unlimited Lollipink

#40 Marshmallow Power

#43 Endless Candyheart

 The gel formula is quite thick so I like to apply two thin coats over the clear base first. However one single thick coat will also work well and either way the polish dries super fast which is fantastic for such a thick formulation!
These also do not have a hugely potent nail varnish scent which is handy when getting in close for a nice neat finish or when you're doing nail art! Personally the scent of nail polish barely resonates with my nose, however I am thankful with these are the hubby and cat aren't big fans! 
These have a nice thin to medium shaped brush and the long cubed shade makes them easy to store. Alternatively you can also just pop them out of each end and store them with the rest of your Le Vernis polishes of the same size to keep your collection looking uniform.

 Each retails for $12.95 each available at Priceline stores & online.
L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Brights!

 On the opposite end of the colour wheel are these stunning new brights in the shades #240 Pop Corn,
#242 Pink O Pop and #241 Cloud Wow. Like the pastels above, these too have a pretty thick formula
making them knock you out right away with one simple coat of lacquer.

 The bottles are a cute 5ml each making them scarily easy to collect and store without taking up a ton
of space! These are a great new addition to the regular shades and glitter top coats already available.

 Each retail for only $3.98 each available at Priceline stores and online.
#240 Pop Corn

#242 Pink O Pop

#241 Cloud Wow

Which shade from all of the above is your favourite?
Do you prefer to rock pastels or brights?

OPI VENICE


~  OPI  ~

Venice Mini Collection!


What a breath taking experience it would be to wander the cobble stone streets getting lost amongst
the grand historic buildings vastly rich in overflowing history. Venice is a place I have always wanted
to visit. Traveling the globe at this time in my life is just not a luxury that I can see happening any
time soon. So in the meantime indulging in inspiring designs in beauty from places around the
world such as this Fall/Winter mini collection from OPI, I can feel a small connection to the
place with a hint of glamour and a lot of beauty.

Swatched below from top left to bottom right are the shades which I will speak a little about each
below.  

Amore At The Grand Canal
This classic bold red has me feeling like a royal tourist in my Venice daydreams.
This is such a rich shade which I found to be slightly darker than OPI's iconic 'Red' shade.
Loving this one for anytime of the day, night, season or occasion.

Worth A Pretty Penne
You know how I love my shimmer and this shade to me looks like a mix of glitzy rose gold copper.
It is simply gorgeous and definitely my favourite of the four. It goes with everything!

My Gondola Or Yours?
The fashionable black has me feeling mysterious and vampy. Reminds me of Angelina Jolie in the
movie 'The Tourist' with Johnny Depp. If you haven't seen that movie I highly recommend doing so.
It's shot in Venice and those two are a strangely perfect match in my opinion and two of my absolute
fav actors of all time!

A Great Opera-Tunity
Honestly, not my favourite colour nor one I would go for. The pale peachy hue just doesn't do enough
for me. I much prefer bright bolds, timeless natural classics and shimmer/glitters. I just found this 
shade a little boring. But great for those who like very subtle or nude nails which don't draw any
attention.


You can find this collection currently at Myer, David Jones, selected pharmacies and stores for a
RRP - $24.95 (Buy!)

SCOUT


SCOUT COSMETICS

Autumn Must Haves!

http://www.scoutcosmetics.com

Even though it doesn't feel all that much like the cooler months of the year are here, what with
all of the consistant 30 degree weather which insists on hanging around. Here is Brisbane the days
are usually cloudy and muggy and humid! Winter, I am looking forward to your visit!

However, I am still excited about Autumn, no matter how moody it may be. The berry, brown
and purple, reddiesh shades which dominate the season are all beautiful and rich in pigments and
texture, both in fashion and beauty. Such a fun time of the year!

Let me introduce today to you, two new to me products which I think are perfect must haves for
the Autumn season. 

Scout Cosmetics Mineral Eye Shadow in 'She' & Scout Cosmetics Nail Lacquer in 'Walk Of Life'.

When it comes to make-up, I am all about the base and getting those products right are such an
important part of anyone's make-up routine.  Scout Cosmetics mineral eyeshadows come in seven
bold and earthy shades which blend seamlessly and last the whole day. 

This neutral, light sandy hue makes for the perfect eyeshadow base and creates a nice, smooth
canvas on the lid. Slightly darker shades such as 'Platinum Blonde' & 'Run Baby Run' can also
be used as brow definers.

SWATCH above & below blended onto the skin.
Scout Cosmetics Mineral Eyeshadow - RRP: $29.95

Scout Cosmetics offers a huge range of 28 nail lacquer shades including this one pictured
below in the shade 'Walk Of Life'.  This shades screams Autumn to me and I absolutely adore it!
It matches every outfit and being such an earthy, natural hue, I can't help but think about the
changing leaves from green to brown. 

Just look at the pigmentation and shine from just ONE layer and no top coat!
Scout Cosmetics Nail Lacquer - RRP: $19.95

Scout Cosmetics nail lacquer are free from nasty chemicles usually found in polishes such as,
Camphor, DBP, Toluene, Formaldehyde Resin and Parabens.

Scout Cosmetics are Australian made & only use natural, certified organic ingredients.
No testing on animals either! 

(I cannot stress how much this means to me and I will 100% back
any company who sticks by these standards!)

Scout Cosmetics also stock a range of organic skincare!
Have you tried any Scout Cosmetics products?

OPI NOTD


~  O  P  I  ~

Nail Lacquer

(From The Recent Priceline Sale!)

Who can resist a cosmetic sale, let alone picking up some beautiful OPI polishes for a
fraction of the RRP! These gorgeous new additions were just $6 each! 
Regular RRP is $19.95! Total steal!

If you missed out, you missed an awesome sale! But don't go spending all your hard
earned cash full price on all your wish list items just yet! Priceline have these amazing
40% off sales twice a year I hear. Besides Christmas is just around the corner and we all
know what that means? No, no, not Santa! (who might bring you everything you ever
dreamed. - Not likely!) I'm talking about end of year SALES!

Can I hear a Wooohoo?! *silence*
Okay, okay, well I'm excited and I'll be asking Santa for cash and gift cards.
I have been a good little angel after all! ^-^

Blue My Mind!

Purple With A Purpose!

Did you pick up any OPI polishes at Priceline's recent 40% off sale?
I wish I'd picked up a nice red, I realised afterwards half of my OPI collection
is pink and various varieties of glitter and the rest are mostly blues and purples!
Next time, next time!

Which one of these shades do you prefer? I can't decide!
