NYX – Lime Sparkle Nail Polish

I just got home my order from CherryCulture. A few products from NYX. I think I have a new favorite among my nail polishes! It’s Lime Sparkle, a lime green jelly base with golden green glitter, and it’s incredible! Very bling bling!

In the pictures below I have three coats on, but that’s not an issue since it’s one of the most fast drying nail polishes I’ve ever tried (long lasting too!). My pictures are kind of crappy since it’s so dark outside I couldn’t get a good picture.

Here are a few swatches of NYX Lime Sparkle nail polish…

And here we have a few swatches from the pro’s:

From Scrangie.

From Shimmer Kisser.

5 Bad Beauty Purchases

I’m bored and I just cleaned out my makeup stash a bit of bad products. I do realize that I could have returned some of these and get a replacement, but I was too lazy at the time. A few of them I couldn’t return since I bought them in a store and they don’t accept refunds or replacements once they have been opened.

• Depend Eyebrow Pen – Not sure if I got a “Friday car” but this was a disaster. It was dry and even though I followed the instructions, I didn’t get it to work.
• E.l.f. Waterproof Eyeliner Pen – Dry as the desert!
• Isadora Flashy Curl Mascara – Took a few uses, then it became like a gum, then it became dry.
• Max Factor Masterpiece Glide and Define – First of all, the product I got was grey, the marking for black was very similar. The consistency was watery. Glide – yes, define – no.
• E.l.f.  Blushing Bronzing and Blending Brush – Do not buy this one! A total disappointment! It’s not as nice and smooth as it looks on the product image! The bristles are stiff and scratchy. I have however found another use for it – I clean my keyboard with it! It’s excellent for that purpose!

Some of these probably worked wonders on others, but I would absolutely advise that you don’t buy the E.l.f.  Blushing Bronzing and Blending Brush, it totally sucked. Only buy it if you want to clean your keyboard with it! :P

Anyone else that have experienced/discovered bad/disappointing beauty products lately?

I love Muji

I bought these two acrylic stacking pots from Muji the other week. They are great! I use them for mineral samples, like eyeshadows and foundations. Purrrfect!

And I have to say that I love Muji, tons of brilliant and stylish organizing products and office supplies (they have tons of other stuff too).  Too bad I don’t really have space for much more! ButI regret that I didn’t buy a notebook or two while I was there!

(Swedish: Ni hittar Muji antingen online eller i utvalda Åhlens-butiker. Finns i  Umeå, Uppsala, Göteborg, Malmö, och ett flertal i Stockholm.)
