H&M - ANTIQUE GOLD

ENG: I went to H&M with my cousin Barbara (visit her blog! :D) and my friend Daniela. We were leaving the store when Dany yelled "WALLIIIIS"!!! Don't it seem a lot like that Butter London nail polish? We thought so... Maybe over a dark base... :D

ITA: ero alla H&M con mia cugina Barbara (visitate il suo blog, filate! XD) e la mia amicicia Daniela, stavamo uscendo dal negozio, quando Dany ha urlato "WALLIIIIIIS"!!! Non somiglia un sacco a quello smalto della Butter London? Noi abbiamo pensato di sì... Magari sopra una base scura... :D

H&M - NO MAMBO JAMBO
ENG: I need of a filter in my brain to resist to teals... I need it... Seriously...
ITA: ho bisogno di un filtro nel cervello per resistere agli ottani... Ne ho seriamente bisogno...

H&M - CORAL ROSE

ENG: I wanted to try a bright orange/red/coral shade (wtf is this? XD) but I didn't want to spend a lot of money just for a try, so... H&M saved me with 99 cents! :D

ITA: volevo provare un arancio/rosso/corallo (che cassius di colore è? XD) molto intenso, ma non volevo spendere un sacco di soldi solo per vedere come mi stava, e... La H&M mi ha salvato con 99 centesimi! :D

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! *__*

H&M - Miss Stone Heart + stamping

When I found out what was stamping nail I couldn't wait to have an image plate with this design. 

It's the top of elegance for me!

● H&M - MISS STONE HEART

I'm very surprised from H&M polishes. I always read good reviews for them, but I was perplex anyway and I was totally wrong, because they are absolutely great! I have another lighter grey from this brand and this medium grey is promoted, too!

● KIKO - GOLD CHRISTMAS COLLECTION - MAT NAIL LACQUER

I received this black polish for xmas and I think it has a very good matte formula, also perfect for stamping nail.

● STAMPING - KONAD M63

You can buy this image plate from Konad Stamping Nail Art official site.

H&M - Happy Grey + China Glaze - Fairy Dust + stickers

Ths is the first mani made when I was sick in bed last december, so, please, have mercy for application: I wasn't very bright and patient those days. >__<

● H&M - HAPPY GREY

I swapped this polish because I love black/white/grey "colors" and I didn't have so many (yet! XD), but also because I wanted to try this brand. I must admit that I was a bit suspicious, actually I don't know why, but I was, and this light color seemed faded at first sight. I was totally wrong!!! Ok, this isn't a definite color, and should suit better with dark skins, but it's opaque and fluid and creamy... Promoted!

● CHINA GLAZE - FAIRY DUST

I really love this top coat. It's a simple top coat with holographic glitters, but they are so sparkly and tiny that any polish reborns under it! Fairy Dust over this pale grey creates a classy combination, minimal and still not boring.

● STICKERS

I bought this decal (and others, of course :P) from an italian eBayer: lauraemirco. They have a huge catalog of stickers, with a lot of original designs.

This one is maye too much thick, and I had to use photoshop to hide the edges, but how can i resist to Audrey? IMPOSSIBLE!
