NOTD: Butter London Hen Party

M: The other day I visited Douglas (a German version of Sephora), and noticed that they had started to sell Butter London nail polishes. I've heard so many incredible things from this polishes, so I had to try one!
I decided to go with something quite neutral and classy, just to try. At first glance this shade is a pretty ordinary white pearl color, but when you look at it from the right angle, you can see very fine blue shimmer. I couldn't catch the shimmer in pictures, but it is quite beautiful.

I'm not British enough to understand the meaning of the name, I guess I'll have to Google it :D

The color is not opaque at all, but it leaves your nails looking fresh and clean. And just like their reputation, the quality of this polish is lovely. The formula isn't watery, and it dries relatively fast. Definitely a new fav!!

Something Beautiful: Benefit's Finding Mr. Bright!!

M: Whenever I get the chance, I always go admire the Benefit counter. They're products look amazing and they're wonderfully colorful packaging and hilarious names are always calling my name. Today, the lady at the counter showed me and my mom the Finding Mr. Bright kit. My mom was apparently in a very good mood, because she decided to get it for me as an early birthday present!! :D I wanted to share what the kit has:
I love the bags that Benefit has!! 


 Just like basically everything else from Benefit, this packaging is colorful - and the name is funny too!!

Whoops!! Sorry about the blurriness!! The kit has four miniature sized products that make your face look more glowing.

Firstly, there's Girl Meets Pearl. This is a beautiful golden highlighter that you can use on the cheekbone or under the brows. I think this will even prettier with a tan or to people who have a darker skintone than I do.

Posie Tint is one of the famous cheek stains that Benefit has. This rosy pink tone is a beautiful alternative to blush. It gives a nice rosy flush to the face with looking like you've put nothing on your cheeks. You can also use it as a lip color!!

High Beam is also one the most well known from Benefit. Compared to Girl Meets Pearl, this highlighter is a much cooler tone, which is more suitable for my skin tone right now. You can also run it down your nose to make it seem a bit slimmer.


And finally, the Erase Paste concealer in the shade Medium 2. This shade is little bit too dark for me, but the salmony color of it works perfectly well under my eyes to cover up those unbelievable veins of mine.

NOTD: Mavala 71 La Paz

J: I bought this in 2010, and i've worn it ONCE! Can you believe me, once??? Yeah, I had this thing, that I didn't like red/dark pink polishes, but few days ago something clicked in my head. I have absolutely no idea, why did I ever start hating this polish(my sister took it for herself very pleased), because it's divine! The color is a pretty berry red/fuchsia pink, and went straight to my favorite nail polish- list! Oh, and these pictures make the color look very red!
