TOTALLY RANDOM SUNDAY #22

HAUL
ENG: I was planning to post my "recent" Kiko purchases, since, you know, summer is the season of sales for Kiko's polishes and I totally took advantage of them, but then I've received a part of my birthday gift from my cousin Barbara. I could choose and order which I would and I can't wait to show you these beauties from W7, a British brand!!!

ITA: Avevo deciso di postare i miei "recenti" acquisti Kiko, visto che d'estate ci sono i megasaldi sugli smalti e me ne sono ampiamente approfittata, ma poi ho ricevuto una parte del mio regalo di compleanno da mia cugina Barbara. Ho potuto scegliere e ordinare quello che volevo e non posso assolutamente aspettare per mostrarvi queste belesse del creato della W7, un marchio inglese!!!

- W7 - LAVA FLOW
ENG: I fell in love with this polish since the first time I've seen it in a blog. My love is confirmed.
ITA: mi sono innamorata di questo smalto dalla prima volta che l'ho intravisto in un blog. Lo sono ancora.

- W7 - SALT N PEPPER
ENG: no, it isn't similar to the previous one, no no and no!
ITA: no, non è uguale a quello prima di questo, no no e ancora no!

- W7 - COSMIC GREEN
ENG: I have no reasonable comments for this, nor unreasonable. A video below.
ITA: non ho commenti sensati per questo smalto. Neanche insensati, stavolta. Video qui sotto.

- W7 - SLIDERS LIP BALM

ENG: actually this is an old purchase of mine, but it's from W7 so I put everything together. In that occasion I was the one who did a gift to my cousin, taking 2 sets of these lip balms, one for me and one for her. Could I resist to such a lovely vintage wonders? Impossible! Swatches very soon, I hope.

ITA: a dire il vero questo è un acquisto vecchio, ma, essendo sempre della W7 ho fatto un post unico. In quell'occasione ho fatto io un regalo a mia cugina, prendendo due set di questi burro cacao, uno per me e uno per lei. Potevo resistere a queste meraviglie vintage? Impossibbbole! Spero presto swatches!

LINKS
ENG: just a couple of links i really like a lot and lot and lot!
ITA: giusto un paio di links a post che mi sono piaciuti davvero uno scatafascio!
- Simply Rins: Nail Art: Blue Wave
- Oooh, Shinies!: Bundle Monster 2012 plate set review

HAULS

FEW NEW ITALIAN NAIL POLISHES! *^__^*

Two gifts from my lovely cousin who always thinks of me when she feels guilty for having bought too many nail polishes for herself! XD

- Basic Beauty by Limoni - 103: it's totally a dupe of Zoya - Apple, it's totally beautiful, it's totally great quality, it totally became one of my favorite polish ever!

- Basic Beauty by Limoni - I-don't-remember-the-number-right-now: another (almost) dupe of a Zoya one, I think it's pretty close to Zoya - Rica. What do you think about it?

- Deborah - Pret a Porter - 52 jungle adventure: a lonely purchase made a day I was very sad and I needed for (another) olive. I'm quite satisfied from it, but I need to test it better.
KIKO AGAIN! 
 
- Kiko - Full Coverage Concealer - 01 clear
- Kiko - Full Coverage Concealer - 03 medium
Maybe I eventually found _MY_ concealers: they are really full coverage, creamy and non-comedogenic (is the right word in english?) and they last almost all day long. Since I'm using these concealers (the lightest for pimples and highlight and the darkest for under-eyes) I can avoid to use fluid foundations: they cover enough to apply my pseudo-mineral foundation from ELF, yay! Never without them and I'll surely buy the 04 for summer! ;)

- KIKO - Lip Base Primer: a try. A try gone very well, anyway. This primer has the purpose to neutralize the pigmentation of lips, or most of it, so you can better enjoy the color of your lipstick and create a customized edge with no messing up. It works, it's just a bit sticky when you close the mouth, but not so much, I'm happy for this product, great value.
- KIKO - Eye Base Primer: no pics, but a wonderful opinion for this products, it's perfect for my wrinkled eyelids, because it's creamy and fills very well imperfections. Also long lasting for my eyeshadows. Great, really.

I have an indecent ammount of pics for next weeks: a swap with a friend of mine, Simona from Light your Nails! blog; few Essence purchases, and a HUGE swap with the lovely Julie from U.S.

TOTALLY RANDOM SUNDAY #15

WARNING:
Totally Random Sunday posts are written with a totally random grammar. Please, use your imagination to properly understand what I've written! Thank you in advance for your kindness. Yeah.

HAULS
FEW NEW POLISHES! *^__^*

Ah! I want to specify I don't do this kind of posts just for "look what I have" thing... No... Please... I just like to make pics of my presssscciousses when I turn back to home and I open the shopping bag or when I receive a nail mail from my friends. And I smile. Just this. :)

- A-ENGLAND - ISEULT + REVLON - STARRY PINK
I met for the first time Alice from Mai Senza Smalto in December and she gifted to me these two samples from her collection: so lovely! She remembered I commented on her blog saying they were almost the only ones pinks I strangely liked, so she thought of me: sooooo lovely!!! Or maybe is she trying to convert me? NEVER!!!! D°:

- CND - SOLAR OIL
Another gift from another blog-friend of mine, this one is from Cristina from the blog with the most brilliant  (and wise! XD) name: Pee Before Polish. I have great hopes for my cuticles when I'll start to use it! è_é/

- LAYLA - METAL SENSE - 09
Is it possible to resist to this crazily opalescent fucsia any single time I go to Sirene Blu store? No, it isn't at all!!! So... The 84th time I succumbed to temptation. And it's a bit Roberta's (from Smalto Italiano) fault! ;D

- MAVALA- 126 ELECTRIC GREEN
This is a polish I bought for my friend Daniela, then I looked at it and I put it on my Helmer, but then I felt guilty and ran to buy another one for her! :D

- NOUBA- 454
This wonderful flakie seems a lot to Orly - Fowl Play in this pic, but actually the flakies are, but the base is almost clear, instead. I bought this polish for a lot of girls and ladies who I swapped with, then I decided to pick up it even for me, at last! And finally! I'm pretty sure to have bought all stocks from all Sirene Blu of my geographic area! :D

- FURSTENBERG - 12 VERDE OLIVA
Another gift from Daniela! It's a metallic olive green with some kind of gold and copper reflection into it. A totally amazing vintage polish! *_*

TOTALLY RANDOM SUNDAY #12

HAULS

SWAP FROM US WITH ERIKA!

One of the best swap ever!!! It wasn't a big swap, just few items, but any single one of them is something very special. Last, but not least, Erika added a lot of yummy and cute extras. The Candies cannot be photographed since they were on my mom stomach  before I could even licking them! She left to me just amazing Hi-Chew candies in banana! XD Other lovely things were so many that I hope to remember all of them in the pics below. ;P Let's go with the polishes as first!

- CQ - RUSTIC DREAM
A duochrome gold/amber that reminds a lot to Sally Hansen - Amber Ruby. I had no hopes to find it, then... I'm very happy for this!

- JESSE'S GIRL - CONFETTI VERSION 1 (OR 2?)
I love polishes with "cute little worms" glitters, but this one, as I've seen on this Chloe's post... Bright blue sky and fuchsia together? No way, wishlist, right now! Just... I sadly discovered this polish wasn't the only one Jesse's Girl - Confetti in the world, more this one was the most hard to find... But Erika found both and sent me as a surprise the lovely couple of beauties!

- JESSE'S GIRL - CONFETTI VERSION 2 (OR 1?)
And this is the other version, the most "famous" one. I wasn't so interested in it, I have to admit that, my love was all for the "cute and little worms" version. But... Ladies... Keep an eye on my blog for the next week, because I've swatched it and it became one of my favorite polish ever!!!

- SONIA KASHUK - FATIGUED
This olive/camouflage/militarygreen polish was a plus at the end of the swap, because Erika saw it on my wishlist, but actually I'm very happy to own it. It's a dupe to another polish of mine, but that polish is completely dried and I need for a replace. Here it is!

- OPI - ABSOLUTELY ALICE
And the first reason of this swap. I read so many enthusiastic reviews about this polish, but I always thought: it's a blue sky glitter with silver shimmer, whatever... No... No no no no... I was so wrong... SO wrong! The blue of this polish is almost impossibile to catch with an unprofessional camera, it's... I can't even describe it: it's like the deepest and the cleanest sea in the world, intense in a crazy way. And shines to any tiny change of light, even few millimeters... I can't wait to swatch it!

- BONNE BELL - LIP SMACKER in WATERMELON
This is one of the extras in my package, and... Oh! This will be my lip balm for life. Watermelon in one on my favorite flavor, and this stick has a delicate but prominent scent that makes me feel instantly well. The taste is also delicious. A+

- WET N WILD - MEGA SHIMMER ILLUMINATING POWDER BRUSH
This is just a tester, but it's enough for me. First of all, it smells of... Biscuits? Cakes? Soooo delicious to sniff, but better don't do it, since I think it's not very healthy sniffing glitters... XD What's this? Actually I'm not sure about it, and maybe it's pretty useless in your life, but whatever, it's damned cute! A really MEGA shimmer powder that goes directly on a brush. I'd never use it on my face, but I guess this could be very nice on your shoulders in the summer nights! *__*

- MAC - FAFI LE 2008 - QUAD #2
Woah!!! How is cute this packaging???? I didn't know this limited edition, and it was a big big big surprise when I've opened everything and found this one. Nothing more to say, too pretty!!!

There were other items, but I guess I put enough pics for this week!
Next Week?

Mmmmh... Can't decide... Kiko sales or GOTbeauty discovery? Or maybe various polishes bought by me and gifted from friends? I'll toss a coin. ;P

TOTALLY RANDOM SUNDAY #11

HAULS

DECEMBER HAUL FROM ELF!

My cousin and I we bought few items in December taking advantage from the offer 17,50 euros of products + free shipping + mystery box. Here we go with my choices and what was into our mystery box. 

- E.L.F. Essentials - Mechanical Eyelash Curler: very cheap, comfortable grip, it's not broken, yet, but doesn't curl eyelashes as much as my previous curler. Cute but maybe not so useful. :/

- E.L.F. Studio - Waterproof Lengthening & Volumizing Mascara: actually I'm not sure this mascara extends and expands for real the lashes, because my eyelashes are already long and thick and very black, but the waterproof thing... Oh! I finally found a real waterproof mascara: you can apply this mascara and, in case you blink by mystake one second after the application, you will not have black spots all around; you can forget your mascara when you go to sleep and the next morning you'll be still perfect... Amazing, really. No other words. My mascara for life. I need for stocks! A+ with all my heart!

- E.L.F. Mineral - Booster in Sheer: this is the first powder of my entire life, so I cannot claim to give you an opinion. I bought it because I've read a lot of very good reviews, but I need for more and more time before I can really understand its quality. Sorry, I'm useless forthis... :P

- E.L.F. Holiday 2011 - 6 pcs Eyeshadow Palette in Natural: *breath* I was in love with the colors of this mini and cute palette, but I have to admit this wasn't a good purchase... The eyeshadows just don't write... You need to wet them and work them pretty much, for a final result disappointing, however. I paid it half then its price, only 2 euros, but I'm sad anyway, because I did really fall in love with the colors at first sight. ç__ç I thought: even the quality was bad, I could customize the palette for my lipsticks, at least... But I can't do that, either: also the packaging is pretty cheap... You're lucky this was a limited edition and I'm unlucky that the same palette of the past holiday (xmas of 2010) was a lot better. *sigh* Wait! The brush is useful for small corrections with concealer, at least. ;P

- E.L.F. Holiday 2011 - Beauty on the Go in day to Night: these ones were a lot better, luckily!!! Don't you expect fireworks on your face, no, please, resize your expectations; but these palettes are a good solution for an easy make-up. Half of shades are not well pigmented and they are quite invisible on your skin, but those ones are good? They are really pretty. I'm especially in love with the blush of the night palette and few of the shimmers from both palettes. The lipglosses are almost lipsticks, this was another good surprise. Important thing! ELF is releasing storage cases for this kind of palettes, but I've found a hygienic and comfortable and easy and FREE solution: put the second palette inverted in the transparent plastic case and cut all around. I can't understand the thrauma in the blogosphere for the lack of another case... Really, I can't... XD

HAULS

GIFTS FROM MY FRIEND DANIELA!

She did it again!!! :D The first polish is an old gift (maybe 2 months ago or even more) and the others 2 polishes are a gift for the past xmas. ♥

- BeYu - 209 - Brillant Shiraz: a magical polish: a red jelly alone, a crazy duochrome over other colors. It's especially beautiful over dusty dark blues and purples, because it can goes from yellow to green or from fuchsia to blue... Like a microglitter version of Nfu.Oh - 51. I think the layering results are extremely close to the new lemming of the polish-world: Max factor - Fantasy Fire

- Priti NYC: she gifted to me this polish because it reminds to a lemming of mine, the GOSH - Frou Frou. The GOSH one is more pink than this, but this is just a plus to me ;P

- Catherine Arley - ??? (mysterious number and name): "America" sang "A horse with no name" (such a beautiful song!); I sing "A polish with no name"... Ok, now I can't avoid to post this song...

"After 9 days, I let the polish run free, 'cause the coat had turned to chip" 
FEW ESSENCES FOR ME!

- Essence - 50's Girls Reloaded - 03 I'm a Marine Girl
- Essence - 50's Girls Reloades - 05 You're a Heartbreaker
A shimmered blue and a shimmered grey with a subtle touch of blue. *^_^*

- Essence - Colour & Go - 73 Princess Prunella
A pretty polish, but on me wasn't as good as I was expecting for :(

- Essence - Colour & Go - 79 Viva la Green
Another jade green for me, this one I like a lot more than the one above.

- Essence - Colour & Go - 75 Gleam in Blue
Bought when I've read it is very good for stamping ;P

TOTALLY RANDOM SUNDAY #9

HAULS

FAIRWIND TO SCHLECKER

I don't remember when I bought this one, but I'm pretty sure it was at the beginning of December, as soon as this collection has been released. I found it at my closest Schlecker drugstore, and there were 8 shades, more or less, the most of them had a satin finish, but there also was a duochrome and a couple of shimmers.

- Fairwind: 51 - Velvet Navy

A very very dark dusty blue, with a subtle shimmer that dries satin, or demi matte, like the text on the bottle. I tried it just on one single nail and it disappointed me a bit... It's a pity the shimmer disappear when dries :(

MY FIRST TIME TO SEPHORA!!!

Yes, I had never been there before 3 weeks ago! Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. Next items aren't all bought by myself this month, but I decided to put all Sephora items together. :)

- Sephora: 49 - Deep in Her Eyes

A gift from my cousin. I already wore it twice, but my camera was out of battery (I'm not sure these are the right words) both of times, and I'm sorry because it is a very pretty metallic blue polish with a slight purple duochrome effect.

- Sephora: 68 - Diving in Malaysia

The most famous dupe of Chanel - Peridot, a gift from my cousin months ago, when the Chanel one was released and it started the "dupes hunt". Actually I love this shade a lot, but I won't use in all my entire life a big bottle, so this one is perfect for me. I wore it twice, but I didn't swatched it, exactly like the polish above. Sorry, I'm so lazy... :P

- Sephora: 67 - Moody Woman

Finally a polish I bought by myself to Sephora recently. I couldn't decide which one to choose, and the huge woman in front of the display didn't help my choice... Then I've seen this pretty duochrome, the last bottle, and *swoooosh* Stolen from her view. Revenge! è_é/

- Sephora: Concealer Palette - 1. nude 2. leaf 3. lilac 4. sandy

It'll be hard speaking about this item. Why? First of all, because my English sucks, and secondly because I read a lot of reviews about it, and most of them were not so good, but I bought it anyway, even I usually trust of reviews. Why (again)? Because I've tested it to the store and it didn't seem cakey at all, as many girls said... I'm using it for weeks, every day, and I'm using all the colors: pink/lilac for my dark circles (inner side), green for pimples on cheeks and chin, the light beige for my eyelids, and the peachy beige for my under eyes at outer side (hope to have used right words). Result is veeeeery good, even my eyes are wrinkled, even my rednesses are pretty noticeable, even my undereyes seem train tracks, even it's very hard to find the right match of colors on my yellowish/greenish/pinkish/reddish/olive face... I can't explain complainings about this product, really... Boh... Maybe I didn't try a very high quality product, yet, and I think this is good. Maybe people likes complaining (this is regardless true). Maybe I'm lucky these are my perfect match colors (a lot of different colors, infact XD).  Maybe boh... Just the brush is useless, but the rest is very good, in my opinion. 

- Make Up For Ever: HD Microperfecting Primer - 1. Green

This is just a sample. By the way, it is very useful for my nose: this primer is not much covering, but it's a  kind of green that contrasts very well large areas without being heavy. So I'm using the Sephora palette for small details and eyes, and this one for nose or forehead. :)
PIT STOP TO COIN 

- Catrice: Sharpener

I love the design, but, the most important thing: the blade cuts well!
