Twinsie Friday: Duchrome Sephora - 67 Moody Woman + A-England - Camelot

ENG: here we are with a new duochromed friday! This time I'm going to show you a polish that I've already swatched in the past (click here to see it), but I wasn't so satisfied from it, I must to admit it. But time goes by, and we always discover new tricks to make bright our babies more and more. So, this time, I've used a black underwear and no those light mintish shades from before... *evil laugh* *thunder* *evil laugh again* It's a whole different thing in this way, aaaaaaaaall different! :D

ITA: eccoci qui per un altro venerdì bicromatico! Questa volta tocca ad uno smalto che ho già swatchato in passato (clicca qui per vedere il post) ma che mi era rimasto un po' sul gozzo, lo confesso. A distanza di tempo, però, ho scoperto che era solo mea culpa, mea grandissima culpa, perchè ci avevo messo sotto diverse basi, ma tutte chiare e sul menta... Ma ora che conosco la furbata della sacra mutandaTM nera... *mwahahaha* *fulmine* "mwahahahaha di nuovo* Tutta un'altra storia, gente, tuuuuutta un'altra storia! :D

ENG: indoor, natural light / ITA: al coperto, luce naturale


ENG: artificial light / ITA: luce artificiale


ENG: bulb light, slightly inclined / ITA: luce artificiale, leggermente di taglio


ENG: bulb light, backlight / ITA: luce artificiale, in controluce

SEPHORA - 67 MOODY WOMAN

ENG: no much to say, because I've spent enough time to edit the pics above! XD By the way, you can see how the color changes from mint, to greensea, to teal and even to a light electric blue, depending on light and inclination. All this beauty is possible with a black base under the polish, otherwise the duochrome effect will be a lot less evident and the color will be less deep and intense! Application was great, I needed only two thin coats, and the second one was very delicate, to avoid noticeable brush strokes.

ITA: non ho molto da dire, anche perchè ho già perso sufficiente tempo per sistemare tutte le foto qui sopra! XD Comunque, a seconda del tipo di luce e di inclinazione delle unghie rispetto ad essa, potete vedere come questo smalto viri dal menta, al verdemare, all'ottanio, e ad un blu chiaro quasi elettrico. Tutto questo, però, solo se utilizzate la famosa mutandaTM nera sotto, sennò l'effetto bicromatico sarà molto meno evidente e il colore di base meno profondo ed intenso! L'applicazione è stata ottima, sono bastate due passatine sottili, di cui la seconda molto delicata, per non far vedere troppo le pennellate.

ENG: my usual black creme: still flawless as the first time I've opened the bottle ♥
ITA: la mia solita base nera: ancora perfetta come la prima volta che ho aperto la boccetta ♥

ENG: and here we are with my friend's duochromes! ;D / ITA: e ora beccatevi i duochrome delle altre! ;D

Twinsie Friday: Duochrome Sephora - 68 Diving in Malaysia + A-England - Camelot

ENG: just a word:  Sephoradot! You may find links to my friend's post at the bottom of this post ;)
ITA: solo una parola: Sephoradot! Potete trovare i link ai post delle mie amiche alla fine di questo post ;)

ENG: natural light, indoor / ITA: luce naturale, al coperto

SEPHORA - 68 DIVING IN MALAYSIA

ENG: alone is a dull gold with just a hint of duochrome effect, so it is a lot better using a black "underwear", as I did in the swatches above. Applicazione is very good, and the large and wide brush is amazing for perople who has large nails like me. It dries a bit slowly but it's very long lasting.

ITA: da solo è un oro spento e poco bicromatico, l'effetto più bello lo si ottiene con la mutanda nera sotto, come ho fatto io in questi swatches. Applicazione ottima, e, grazie al pennello largo e piatto, si stende da Dio se avete le unghie un po' larghe come le mie. Asciugatura un po' lentina, ma lunghissima durata!

Sephora - 47 Deep in Her Eyes

Another post with horrible nails. Sorry for the horror! This time is even worse, because it's the right hand and I can't keep that hand in a comfortable position for photographs, more 2 nails were broken and I had too much pain on my left shoulder to file all nails, so... Have mercy! :P

● SEPHORA - 49 DEEP IN HER EYES
I own this polish since the past November, and I already wore it 3 times, and I absolutely love it! I wasn't much impressed at first time, but I had to change my mind: it's enchanting on nails. As you can see from the bottle pic, it's a blurple shimmer polish with subtle blue sky and dark fuchsia shimmer. The application was standard for Sephora polishes = I hate their brush and it's quite tricky to work with; but the result is so beautiful and classy that I think worths the effort. It's long lasting. On me, at least. ^_^;

Sephora - 67 Moody Woman

Few words about my cuticles and nails: as in the previous post, and in this one (and in the next three or four posts will be posted in the future), they are a disaster! I was ashamed to show you them, for this reason I delayed this moment and I had to use more photoshop than usual. Hope you are not angry for this, but I had a lot of other things on my mind and I forgot to take care of my nails. >_<

 ● SEPHORA - 67 MOODY WOMAN

This is hard to speak about. Why? First of all, because my camera didn't catch the duochrome effect as well as it is for real, that's quite close to the one you can see from the bottle (but there aren't the red and the yellow to the bottom of the bottle, that was my sweater's reflection ;P). Secondly, I usually love flat and wide brushes, but Sephora (and also Dior) goes too far on this, and I couldn't apply the polish easily, neither precisely. The only exception are Isadora brushes, that are perfect even with a very flat and very wide shape, but this is off topic. For these reason I can just say this polish is very pretty: it is a pretty color, it has a pretty duochrome effect; lasts pretty long; and has a pretty finish. Everything is pretty except the brush. I have no big complaints and I have no big commpliments for it, just... Pretty. ^_^

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!
