Chresy - 715

ENG: no blah blah today, enjoy the pics and see you the next time! P.S. sorry for the shorter ring nail :(

ITA: niente blateramenti oggi, godetevi le foto e ciao alla prossima! P.S. scusate per l'anulare più corto :(

ENG: and mattified! Soooo beautiful and classy! *_* 

ITA: e mattificato! Beeeeeellissimo ed elegante! *_*

CHRESY - NIGHT COLLECTION - 715

ENG: from one of my favorite super cheap brands, I recently discovered this beauty. It's not so unique, I know, but whatever. It's a shimmer warm red with a slight green reflection, great application, two coater (better three, by the way), more than decent duration and stunning darker edges. Love it!

ITA: una belessa che ho scoperto di recente da uno dei miei marchi super ecomomici preferiti. Non è il più unico degli smalti, lo so, ma chissene. E' un rosso caldo shimmer con un lievissimo riflesso verde (quasi mai visibile), ottima applicazione, due mani (meglio tre, comunque), durata più che decente e un effetto di ombre scure ai lati stupendo. Lo amo!

ESSENCE - MATT TOP COAT

ENG: I'm really impressed from this top coat and it's my faithful little helper very often! ;D

ITA: questo top coat mi piace moltissimo ed è il mio fido aiutante molto spesso! ;D

TOTALLY RANDOM SUNDAY #36

HAUL

ENG: Schlecker is dead. Long live the Schlecker. Ooops, the new name is Dayli. :P By the way, the "renovation" comes with news about brands we can find in those stores: adieu [b]basic, adios Essence, but, welcome Chresy! At least. ç_ç I found a wall display with 2 collections I didn't know before: Graffy (sorbet shades) and Night (vampy shimmers). I picked up two polishes from the last one. So far. ;)

ITA: Schlecker è morto. Viva Schlecker. Solo che mo' si chiama Dayli. :P Comunque, il "restauro" porta alcune novità sui marchi che possiamo trovare nei loro negozi: adieu [b]basic, adios Essence, welcome Chresy! Perlomeno, dai. ç_ç Ho trovato un display a muro con 2 collezioni che non conoscevo: la Graffy (con colori sorbettosi) e la Night (vampy shimmerosi). Ho scelto due dell'ultima. per ora. ;)

CHRESY - NIGHT COLLECTION - 715 + 718

ENG: absolutely amazing. Not unique, but great in quality and price. Can't wait to show you the swatches!

ITA: meravigliosi. Non unici, ma grandiosi per qualità e prezzo. Smanio dal mostrarvi gli swatches!

GIFT

ENG: as I mentioned before, my cousin sent to me a package full of marvellous gifts inside of it. Last time I've showed you the Ciaté Caviar Mini Bar, now I'm going to post the makeup part: three new palettes from Technic. I've already swatched my first palette from Technic here and now these ones fall into my arms, and I can't decide which one is better, because they all are soooo cool! *__*

ITA: come già vi ho raccontato in precedenza, mia cugina mi ha spedito un paccone strapieno di meravigliosi regali. L'ultima volta vi ho mostrato lo Ciaté Caviar Mini Bar, stavolta tocca alla parte truccosa: tre nuove palette della Technic. Ne ho già swatchata una qui e ora arrivano queste qui e non riesco a decidere quale possa essere la migliore, perchè sono tutte paurosamente fighe! *__*

TECHNIC - ELECTRIC BEAUTY - ELECTRIC EYES PALETTES

ENG: no comment. ♥ / ITA: no comment. ♥

ENG: and don't forget the RAINBOW CHALLENGE every Thursday! See ya! ;D

ITA: e non dimenticatevi della RAINBOW CHALLENGE, ogni giovedì, proprio qui! ;D

Chresy - 040 Bordeaux Perlato

ENG: I've already said that sometimes drugstores give amazing surprises, and I've also already said that one of them is Chresy polishes! You can find a review of mine of another polish I love from this brand in this post. Keep an eye on it, it's like having a xmas tree on nails! ;D

ITA: come ho già detto tempo fa, qualche volta i drugstore danno grandi soddisfazioni, e ho anche già detto che una di queste sono senza dubbio gli smalti della Chresy! Potete trovare una mia recensione di un altro smalto di questo marchio in questo post. Buttateci un occhio, è come un albero di Natale su unghie! ;D

CHRESY - 040 BORDEAUX PERLATO

ENG: maybe this isn't the most unique colour in the world, and not the most peculiar finish you can find out there, but ladies... It worths a lot more of €1! Application is flawless, precise, opaque, it's a frost with no strokes, no chipping for 3 days... There are not so many polishes that REALLY offer you so much!
ITA: forse non sarà il colore più unico del cosmo, nè quello col finish più particolare, ma signorine... Vale molto più di €1! L'applicazione è perfetta, precisa, coprente, è uno smalto frost ma senza pennellate visibili, punte intatte per 3 giorni... Non ci sono poi così tanti smalti là fuori che vi offrono DAVVERO tutto questo!

Chresy - 042 Verde Scuro Perlato

Sometimes drugstores give amazing surprises. One of them is Chresy polishes, absolutely! Sirene Blu is a chain of stores not so famous in Italy, but there's one of them very close to my house: there are many brands, especially Nouba, Max Factor, Pupa, Deborah, Mavala, Layla, one-I-don't-remember, and then there's this yummy basket full of polishes from Chresy. What's Chresy? Who cares! 1 polish for €1.50 or 3 polishes for €3.00. I usually grab 3, so I can make gifts to my friends. ^__^

CHRESY - 042 VERDE SCURO PERLATO

Beautiful, beautiful and beautiful again! It's like a xmas tree, don't you think? A friend of mine said the same thing on her post, and I totally agree with everything she wrote about this pretty and good quality polish. You can find her post here: Like a Candy Shop - Nameless Beauty by Elsa. I'd like to add just one more thing: very long lasting, on me, at least. :)

TOTALLY RANDOM SUNDAY #2

HAULS

E.L.F

I took advantage from this amazing promotion: minimum of €12.00 of purchase + free shipping + mystery box € 12.00 of value. Great deal!

 

What I bought:

1) Studio Kabuki Brush - it works very well but it's lost a lot of hair, but just the first time I've used it, so I think we'll be good friends for the future

2) Mineral Foundation in Light - after 3 days it seems a great product, my skin thanks a lot

3) Mineral Eyeshadow Primer - velvety and delicate: very good!

4) Studio Complete Coverage Concealer in Medium - 3 of 4 colors are too similar to each others and they are not very covering, but it works very well over no-serious imperfections. It's easier to work with if you use your fingers, but the brush in the palette is a very good brush for other uses. I need more time before a fair judgement

My Mystery Box:

1) Mineral Bamboo Powder Brush - oh wow... so soft... I want to push my cheek all the day with it *_*

2) Nail Polish in Twinkle - a glitter multicolor top coat with delicate colors

3) & 4) Shimmer Eyeliner Pencil in Boldly Bronzed - yes, I received 2 of them! XD by the way, no problems at all: I'll swap the second one with a friend of mine or it'll be a gift, because it's a very pretty shade. I think it's better as pencil eye than eyeliner, because it's easy to work with

CHRESY
How I could resist in front of a big basket full of polishes mixed together as a peanut exhibitor at the supermarket with a sign 1x€1.50 or 3x€3.00? Am I crazy? Yes, I know... But not for this reason... Soooo I dipped my hands into it as a little girl with a basket of candies and I bought these 5 polishes for me and few more for my friends. Surprise: they are B4F and no bad at all! Search for a store near to you on the "Sirene Blu" official site. I don't know another chain of stores when I could find them, sorry.

40 - BORDEAUX PERLATO - shimmered dark red

42 - VERDE SCURO PERLATO - shimmered dark forest green

77 - MARRONE PERLATO - metallic-almost-a-frost greysh taupe

73 - VERDE CHIARO GLITTER - foiled light green apple

71 - AZZURRO GLITTER - foiled very light silvery blue

H&M

Next 2 polishes are a gift from my cousin, who can't resist to cute bottles! :D The first one has a design surely inspired from the British brand Ciaté and the second one reminds to the limited editions of the German brand Catrice. By the way, 2 very preeeetty polishes! Thank you Baby! <3

- Going to the Opera - a creamy lacquered pure red

- Blue Wave - effect topcoat with blue sky and pink microglitters
CHINA GLAZE + A-ENGLAND
Next couple of polishes were sent to me by one of my polish-buddies, Daniela! ;D 

- China Glaze - Ghoulish Glow: this is a gift from my friend, who knew about my passion for it. I wore it few days ago and my cat has played with my hands for hours (in the night, of course!!!) XD I'm thinking about painting some xmas decoration with it, what do you think about it? ;D

- A-England - Camelot: me and my friend took advantage by a promotion and I bought this black cream. I think cremes are very hard to choose. Glitters, holos, duochromes, etc... They are gorgeous but their special effect can easily hides lacks of formula: cremes have to be perfect or the result on your nails will be a disaster, so I'm always very careful about which creme to buy and which don't: bases are important, ever, for every things in your life. This one is amazing, the perfect black base. Adviced! ;D

MISSHA + ETUDE HOUSE

Next bunch of polishes are not mine: I bought from a very kind Korean eBay seller, Ruby Ruby Shop, who has a lovely catalogue of make-ups, stationery, jewelry, wall decals, skincare items and nail polishes, for a fair price and free shipping. I was searching for a wall sticker for my entrance and some cheap ideas for xmas gifts, then I discovered she also had polishes, and Daniela e Barbara bought a few of them, so, this is the reason I have them to my place even they aren't mines. I'll swatch them on false tips before they will go to their real owners, so they will be useful for future comparisons. ;)

If you're interested in purchase, Ruby Ruby Shop sells these Korean brands: Missha, Etude House, Skin Food, Laneige, Tony Moly, Innisfree and few more.

- Missha - HGR01: amazing, isn't it? I'm speechless since the first time I've seen it, and I'm still with no words any time I look at it. I think it's pretty close to new Model's Own - Beetlejuice Collection - Golden Green, don't you think?

I didn't swatched them, yet, so I can't talk about their quality
- Etude House - LUCIDarling - Shimmering #3 beige brown
- Etude House - LUCIDarling - Shimmering #5 garnet red
- Etude House - LUCIDarling - Glittering #5 tender mint
- Etude House - LUCIDarling - Shimmering #1 satin purple
OTHERS?

There are a lot more polishes I would to show you next Sunday. Since I never did a haul post, I would to show all I received as gift and bought by me during last 2/3 months: there also are a lot of [b]Basic (but most of them are for a future giveaway ;D), my Unicorn Puke from Cult Nails, 2 Kikos, 1 Ever, 1 Basic Beauty by Limoni, 1 Astra and... 4 Tony Molys from the crazy Galaxy collection! *__*
