cheap shopping!!

Sometimes you face cheap-shopping days and since they don't appear that often you should really enjoy them ;) By cheap-shopping I mean use discounts wisely or even some gift certificates...

I started at Douglas, cause they had a special offer from Herôme. If you would spend €8 on any Herôme products you coud pick out a free gift out of 3 things. I bought a new nail hardener cause my own was already started running out. The package I picked had a free glassfile worth €9,95 and I got to pick my free gift, I picked out Exit Damaged Nails Serum (an oil based product) worth €12,50.

I went to the Bodyshop cause I was there earlier that week but I couldn't find anything suitable...I became a member (for a year) which costs a membership of €10, but with the card they provide you they give a 10% discount on items you buy that year, and every €20 you spend you get points...depending on the amount of points you've saved up you can get a pressent yay!! AAaannd you can pick something out worth €10 (or more but get the €10 discount) in the month of your bday. Which for me is September. I picked out their BBcream nr 2, which I ended up paying €0,35 for ;) Not using it yet as I just started one of my Asian BBcreams.

Then I went to Etos cause I had a €15 bday giftcertificate...and I knew they had a special discount on all make-up brands. Buy 2 get 25% discount. Which I was happy about, I already picked out 2 items but I couldn't choose between them, and now I could buy them both paying a small amount extra. I picked out Maybelline Color Tattoo On and on Bronze nr 35 and Maybelline popstick Crystal Pink  nr 040. I ended up paying €1,10 extra.

I did a little Primark shopping as well and was getting pretty exhausted :S So I just took the train back home....finding in my mail...a little gift from Maybelline..yay. I didn't thought I would win, but I joined in on a FaceBook competition and I won Color Tattoo Immortal Charcoal nr 55.


A week earlier I received this package from Koh (from another FaceBook competition);



I received my favorite color Funky! along with a mini moisturiser, a mini polish remover, long lasting basecoat and a sheet with stickers with their entire collection. The sheet can be used to create your own wishlist so your partner, friends or familie can easily go to the shop pick up your favorite colors :)

The Revlon colorburst Lip butters in the first picture...they don't actually count to the cheapshopping day...I bought them at Evulbay.

As you can see I piked out Berry Smoothie and Sweet Tart.....and I love em!!! They glide onto your lips, give a nice feeling all day and the pigmentation is just enough. Somewhere between a lipgloss and a lipstick...butter is the perfect word :)

Just Tinted

My precious...mhuahaha...

the first flashes of photos apeared on 2 American bloggers posts and I already knew, whatever this was I want it! Days gone by...and still I hadn`t got a clue what it was and almost even forgot about it. And when you really start to forget things, boom, hurray it`s back again. I visited the local beautyshop, but ofc they wouldn't sell it, as they told me the Just Tinted collection would only be released in USA. So a little trip to Evulbay...yes again ;)...was inevitable.

Revlon - Just Tinted polishes. They looked amazing. Buildable colors, extreme see-through. I somewhat compare them to a blush on your cheek, dunno why?! They dry up somewhat matte, but using their special tc it looks almost like a sorbet like OPI's. ( I received the TC in a swap with Michy, as she knew these were on my lemminglist) From the 4 available colors 2 really got my attention; Mystical and Victorian...I ended up buying Mystical because it leans more to pinkish/purpleish...whilest Victorian is more of a coral.

This is 2 layers topped with Revlons special tc. See..veeerryy visible VNL, but the picture shows it more then I noticed it in rl. It dried quite quick, didn`t peel at all, there was slight tipwear after 2 days. Love it!!

Revlon - Modern Grace

 

Look at this beauty!! I received it in a swap with Rebecca. I think you can call this a eal good blurple, it actually looks more purpleish in the bottle, it dried up a bit darker then expected. Still it was a perfect polish to apply, 2 thin layers no streaks or runny at all. Dried pretty quick as well. AAaand worked amazing as base for stamping :) I wore it 1 day plain and simple, stamped some shoes on it the next day with a yellow and pink Konad stamping polish and wore it for 3 more days (with a tc). All you can see there is some slight tipwear, but it certainly gets a spot in my top10 awsome stuff!

amagad goodies almost stolen!

I was trying to make nice photo of some recent bought goodies from Evulbay...when there was a weird creature trying to steal the goodies!!

What an evul cat!! Luckily my busband was around and caught it, cause the feisty little thing was unstoppable.

Bad Lola!!!

Evulbay has helped me score some nice goodies wooop! My very first Chrome polish by Sally Hansen - Violet Sapphire, Nail Prism - Pink Rose Diamond, Revlon Just Tinted - Mystical...yaaayyy and sweet Michy gave me their Just Tinted tc so I finally have a match couple.

I don`t know about you out there, but I looove scented/flavoured lip balms. I never count them, always seem to "loose"  them in my bags as well. So when i was ordering my polishes at this boutique I picked out a couple of Lipsmackers nomnom. Cookies 'n Cream and Starburst - peaches & creme.

Now let me show you my massive pink swap with Michy :)

SH Nail Prism - Fire Opal, Revlon Just Tinted tc, Nicoly by OPI - Shell me the truth, Sinful Colors - You just wait, Pure Ice - First Love, Pink Ice, Lilac Mist, Watermelon Ice, Tease, Studio M - Tru Passion, SH - Rockstar Pink, Pure Ice - Spit Fire, Mint Dream, oh Baby!, Don't you whish, SH - Rock Candy and SC - Bali Mist :)

I lub layering!!

I lub lub lub it! When I received my CND polishes I went nuts, so many new discoveries of  PB4L ( Polish Buddies 4 Life...yes I`ve invented this word myself ;) ) were created by just layering polishes on top of each other...and then all the cool crackles came and the sherbets etc etc...and my CND got all dusty in the Helmer till Jette woke me up haha.

Meanwhile I received 2 gorgeous polishes from swaps and both sweeties mentioned "this polish looks awsome layerd over black", then I was like whaaa...gotta try it out :)
