Lime Crime Nail Polish in Lavendairy: Review, Photos & Swatches

♥ Lime Crime Nail Polish in Lavendairy. 

Description:
Seven pastel shades, inspired by confectionary delights from Marie Antoinette's table. Recklessly pigmented crème formula is rich, smooth and opaque in just two coats. Each bottle comes equipped with a flat, wide brush for superb control and flawless application. Never tested on animals.

My Thoughts:
Lavendairy ($7.25 for 0.3oz/9ml.) is a pretty, creamy pastel lilac. It's smooth and easy to work with, and I didn't have any problems with it looking streaky or patchy on my nails. Like Lime Crime's nail polish in Once In A Blue Mousse, the consistency of Lavendairy is quite thick. I recommend that you let it fully dry before applying a second coat, just so it won't look too thick on your nails. It dries quickly, and it's fully opaque in 2-3 coats :-)

Lavendairy comes in a clear, matte bottle with the purple Unicorn and the Lime Crime logo on the front of the bottle. The shade of the nail polish is peeking through the bottle, which makes it look even prettier and more girly in my opinion. The brush is quite thick, which I like because I find it to be a lot easier to work with, and I feel like it gives me more control. The brush almost covers my entire nail in just one swipe, which makes the application go a lot faster.   

Overall, I'm loving Lavendairy. The shade is really beautiful, it's smooth and easy to work with and the packaging is super cute. If you are a big fan of pastel shades, I highly recommend that you check out Lime Crime's nail polishes, because I think you would love them as much as I do :-)

Lime Crime Nail Polish in Once In A Blue Mousse: Review, Photos & Swatches

♥ Lime Crime Nail Polish in Once In A Blue Mousse. 

Description:
Seven pastel shades, inspired by confectionary delights from Marie Antoinette's table. Recklessly pigmented crème formula is rich, smooth and opaque in just two coats. Each bottle comes equipped with a flat, wide brush for superb control and flawless application. Never tested on animals.

My Thoughts:
Once in A Blue Mousse ($7.25 for 0.3oz/9ml.) is a creamy Robin's egg blue. It's very smooth and easy to apply, but I did find it to be just a little bit streaky on the first coat. The consistency of the polish is quite thick, so make sure to let it fully dry before you apply a second coat, just so it won't look too thick on your nails. It dries quickly, and it's fully opaque in 2-3 coats.

Once In A Blue Mousse comes in a clear, matte bottle with the purple Unicorn and the Lime Crime logo on the front of the bottle.

The brush is quite thick, which I really like because I find it to be a lot easier to work with, and I feel like it gives me more control. The brush almost covers my entire nail in one swipe, which makes the application go a lot faster as well.  

Overall, I absolutely love this nail polish from Lime Crime. The shade is gorgeous, it's easy to work with and the packaging is really adorable. Once In A Blue Mousse reminds me of For Audrey by China Glaze, which is one of my favorite nail polishes. It's just a tiny bit lighter than China Glaze's For Audrey, definitely a shade worth checking out :-)

Youngblood Lipstick in Debalicious: Review, Photos & Swatches

 ♥ Youngblood Lipstick in Debalicious. 

Description:
Get gorgeous lips with our colorful range of luxurious lipsticks. The lanolin-free formula contains a special blend of natural oils and vitamins. Stays fresh-looking for hours.

My Thoughts:
Debalicious (230NOK/$19 for 0.14 oz/4 g.) is a creamy, long lasting bubblegum pink. It's smooth and easy to apply, and it glides on beautifully on the lips. It's very comfortable to wear, and it doesn't feel drying on my lips at all.

It comes in a black and sleek tube, with the Youngblood initials on top of the lipstick cap and the name of the lipstick on the bottom of the tube. Debalicious is a little too light for my taste, so I prefer to wear a darker pink lipgloss on top of it, just to make it more wearable for me. It's got that waxy scent/taste which I'm not the biggest fan of, but I do get used to it after a while. If you love pink shades like this one, you are going to love Debalicious :-)

Outfit Of The Day: Flowers, Studs & Denim

 Hey Everyone :-)
Hope you are having a great day. Today, I'm wearing my new sweater that I recently received from Imomoi. I decided to pair it with my favorite denim shorts from Vila, and my studded boots from Din Sko which I'm totally obsessed with by the way. You might have seen them (and the denim shorts), in a bunch of my outfit posts already. I just love them :-) 




 What I'm Wearing:
Sweater from Imomoi.
Denim Shorts from Vila.
Boots from Din Sko.
Sunglasses from H&M.  
Ring from eBay

I'm loving this look! It's very casual, comfortable and super cute. These are the type of looks I go for, whenever I'm going shopping or have a bunch of errands to run. It's just an easy, quick and comfortable look, but it's still cute at the same time :-)

I'm loving my new rose printed sweater from Imomoi. It's got a pretty rose design with tiny silver treads, which makes it look all sparkly and pretty. It's also got that distressed look, which I have been loving a lot lately. It's super comfortable and lightweight, which makes it a wonderful piece for summer :-)

a.dorn Nail Paint in Violet Moon, Age Of Aquarius and Tequila Mockingbird: Review, Photos & Swatches

♥ a.dorn Nail Paint in Violet Moon, Age Of Aquarius and Tequila Mockingbird.

 ♥ a.dorn Nail Paint in Violet Moon. 

Violet Moon ($11.00 for 0.5 oz.) is a creamy lilac-grey. It's very easy and smooth to apply, and I didn't have any problems with it looking streaky or patchy on my nails. It dries quickly, and it's opaque in one-two coats (I used two). It's such a gorgeous shade, and it looks very flattering on the nails as well. I'm a huge fan of Violet Moon, and it's a wonderful shade for Fall and Winter :-)

 ♥ a.dorn Nail Paint in Age Of Aquarius.

 ♥ a.dorn Nail Paint in Age Of Aquarius. 

Age Of Aquarius ($11.00 for 0.5 oz.) is a dark turquoise blue. It's goes on very smooth, and it's so easy to work with. It's a little sheer on the first coat, so you definitely need a few coats for it to look nice and opaque on your nails. It dries quickly, and it's fully opaque in two-three coats ( I used two). Age Of Aquarius is a very beautiful, bright and fun shade for the summer, and I have a feeling that this is going to be one of my new favorite nail polish for summer :-) 

 ♥ a.dorn Nail Paint in Age Of Aquarius.

 ♥ a.dorn Nail Paint in Tequila Mockingbird. 

Tequila Mockingbird ($11.00 for 0.5 oz.) is a fuschia duochrome. It's got a unique duochrome of pink and purple. It's a beautiful rich purple from one angle, and a fuschia-deep pink from another. It's smooth and easy to work with, and it didn't look streaky on my nails either. It's a little sheer on the first coat, so you need a few coats for it to look opaque. It dries quickly, and it's nice and opaque in two-three coats (I used two).

Tequila Mockingbird has a sweet-fruity scent, which Violet Moon and Age Of Aquarius don't have. If you are a fan of darker shades, I highly recommend that you check this one out. It's such a pretty Fall and Winter shade :-) 

♥ a.dorn Nail Paint in Tequila Mockingbird. 

 Overall, I really like these shades from a.dorn. They go on so smooth and so easy, and they are fully opaque in two-three coats. I like all three shades, but my favorite has to be Age Of Aquarius. It's such a stunning shade, and I have a weakness for turqouise nail polishes. I highly recommend that you check it out, it's a real beauty and a perfect summer shade :-) 

You might like this product if:
♥ You like turquoise, purple and lilac-grey shades.
♥ You like creamy and nicely pigmented nail polishes.
♥ You like pretty packaging.
♥ You love thin nail polish brushes.

You might not like this product if:

MUA Makeup Academy Power Pout Color Intense Tint & Balm in Rendezvous: Review, Photos & Swatches

♥ MUA Makeup Academy Power Pout Color Intense Tint & Balm in Rendezvous. 

Description:
Available in six rich bold shades from chic nude ‘Rendez Vous’ to deep rich rasberry ‘Broken Hearted’, our new colour intense lip tints will ensure your lips will look good enough to kiss! MUA Power Pout is a lip treatment with colour intensity that relieves dry, cracked lips providing immediate moisturisation. The handy pencil-style applicator provides easy to apply sheer soft lip colour and rolls up for easy use. Ensure you have the most kissable lips this spring and kisses they will remember forever.  

My Thoughts:
MUA Makeup Academy Power Pout Color Intense Tint & Balm in Rendezvous (£3.00 for 12M.) is a pretty pinky-nude tinted balm stain. It's very easy to apply, and it feels very soft and smooth on my lips. The pigmentation is wonderful and it's moisturizing, which is perfect if you are battling dry lips like myself. It gives my lips a nice tint of color, and a pretty and glossy look. 

It has that same minty scent and taste like most type of tinted balm stains (Tarte LipSurgence Natural Lip Lusters and Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains) have. It also has a cooling effect, which I find kind of refreshing. It last a while on my lips, before I have to re-apply it again.

Rendezvous comes in a brown and silver tube. It has a twist up mechanism at the bottom of the tube, so you don't need to sharpen or waste any product. I absolutely love this, because we all know how messy it can be to sharpen these type of products. The shade of the balm isn't the exact same shade as the tube, so keep that in mind before you order online. I highly recommend that you look up swatches online first, so you won't get disappointed when you receive it.  

Overall, I highly recommend this MUA Power Pout in Rendezvous. The shade is gorgeous, pigmented and it's a wonderful everyday shade. If you are a neutral lip product kind of girl, I'm sure you are going to love this as much as I do. It's great little lip product to just pop in your handbag for touch ups :-)

Youngblood Pressed Mineral Eyeshadow Quad in Eternity: Review, Photos & Swatches

♥ Youngblood Pressed Mineral Eyeshadow Quad in Eternity. 

Description:
Use your eye-magination! Four complementary shades come in a sleek, mirrored compact for limitless looks. The formula sweeps on like silk and wears for hours. Each compact includes matte, pearl and shimmery finishes that blend together easily. 

My Thoughts:
The Youngblood Pressed Mineral Eyeshadow Quad in Eternity (477NOK/$43.00 for 0.14 oz/4 g.) comes with four, neutral and beautiful eyeshadows called Quartz, Silken, Mink and Spice. They are super soft, smooth and easy to work with. They are very easy to blend, and the color payoff is wonderful. The eyeshadows are not too powdery, so they are not going to give you a lot of fallout :-)

The eyeshadows come in this black and sleek quad, with a decent sized mirror inside. You also get a little sponge tip applicator which I normally don't use, but it can be quite handy if you are going to travel and you don't want to take a bunch of makeup brushes with you. I really like that the name of each eyeshadow is on the back of the quad, because some quads don't have that and I find it to be a bit annoying.   

♥ Quartz - a champagne pink.
♥ Silken - a peachy pink
♥ Mink - a pretty gold.
♥ Spice - a medium brown with hints of golden shimmer. 

 ♥ Youngblood Pressed Mineral Eyeshadow Quad in Eternity.

Overall, I really like this eyeshadow quad from Youngblood. The eyeshadows are very beautiful, pigmented and easy to work with. I'm such a sucker for neutral eyeshadows, so this quad is right up my alley :-)

MUA Makeup Academy Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighter: Review, Photos & Swatches

♥ MUA Makeup Academy Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighter.

My Thoughts:
The MUA Makeup Academy Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighter (£3.00 for 7.5g.) is a pinky champagne highlighting powder, that is designed to provide sheer coverage and a radiant soft-focus effect to transform your complexion with luminescence shimmer. It perfects any look by creating a natural glow that is suitable for all skin tones.

It's very easy to work with, it blends nicely into the skin and it gives it a pretty and healthy looking glow. It comes in a white container with a clear lid. I love that the lid is clear because I like that I can see how the product looks like, and it's also great for storage as well. I'm a big fan of the white packaging, I think it looks very clean and cute. What do you guys think? :-)

I like to apply it with my Real Techniques Contour Brush. It's such a great brush, it picks up just the right amount of product and it blends it beautifully into the skin. The MUA Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighter feels very soft and smooth on my skin, and it doesn't have that gritty feeling, like some highlighters do.

Overall, I do think that this is a great highlighter. If you are new to makeup or you don't want to spend a lot of money on a good highlighter, this is a nice alternative. You get a lot of product for the price, which is great. It's not the best highlighter that I have tried, but it's definitely worth checking out :-)
