Action MAX make up nail polish review

Action is a store whit a big assortment in all kinds of stuff. They sell: food, clothes, paint,  thing you need at school, pots and pans, toys, cosmetics and much more.
Action has it's own make up brand named MAX make up. It's really cheap. For example Action has mascaras for 1 euro, lip gloss for 75 euro cents, eye shadow pallets which costs 1,69 euro. I bought four nail polishes because the colors where really nice and the polishes only costs 49 euro cents each. That's really cheap.
So now what I want to know, are these good nail polishes? Lets find out in  the review.

The four nail polishes

from left to right: Deep sea, Peach, Freso blue and Pink candy

I know it costs a lot of package material, the way the nail polishes are packed. But It's also a bit of an asset. You can know for sure nobody has used the product before you use it.

All of the four nail polishes are applied in two layers. I used a base coat. I did not use a top coat.

Deep sea

I really do like mint green. this is a really nice pastel mint green
color

Peach

A pink-soft orange peach color. looks a bit like a soft pink coral
color to me. A sunny summer color to me

Fresco blue

A really special blue color.  A sort of metallic blue but also not.
I absolutely like this one. this one also applied  as best.

Pink Candy

definitely it is candy pink. A bright pink color. It's a gorgeous
pink color. will wear this one really often i think

I'm absolutely satisfied with this nail polishes. The colors are bright and high in coverage. Also these polishes do not give stripes. For that little amount of 49 cents I will buy  buy more MAX make up nail polishes in the future.

And pink it is!

Finally, my hair is pink. I wanted to color it pink for a long time but did not dare. Now i thought, well i just do it.  The great result:

I've used Pretty Flamingo by Fudge. Fudge is a highly pigmented semi permanent haircolour. They have a big range of colors that will cost you about 15 euro. One tube contains 75 ml.  If you have a darker shade of hair, my advice is to bleach the hair before  you color it with a bright color like this one.  The colored paint will stay in the hair longer and will be better visible.

Essence Ready for boarding limited edition nail polish review

Essence has a new limited edition line, named: Ready for boarding. It contains: eye pencils, nail polish, eye shadow pallet, lip & cheek creme, a luggage label, hand & body wipes and a make up bag. Actually all you need when you go on holiday.

I did not buy the whole collection. I skipped the eye pencils because eye never use them. I also did not buy the luggage label.

From the nailpolishes I bought two bottles, the rest of them was already sold out. I've got 02 beauty on tour, which is a pink coral. The other one is 04 via airmail! a blue nailpolish. I also bought the peel off base coat 01 carry me home.

This is the base coat. It's created to peel it off, so you do not need any nail polishes remover to get your nail polish of your nails anymore. When I opened the bottle, saw the texture ans smelled it, it reminded me of the  glue we used at school when i was young. Maybe it is something like that, because you have to let it dry for ten minutes after you have put it on your nails.

The base coat getting dry. 

The bottle. And as you can see on my nails. When the base coat is dry, it gets translucent 

The coral one: 02 beauty on tour

The blue on: 04 via airmail!

Peeling of your nail polish while wearing the base coat, you can just peel it off. If it will not come off your fingers in once, just scratch with another nail on it.

Also, If this base coat is not available anymore, Essence included it in their new collection which will be available in September 2012.

Nailpolishes are 1,49euro each
Peel off base coat: 1,79 euro

The Wedding Cake Project

One of my hobbies is decorating  cakes for occasions. Last weekend I had the opportunity  to create a wedding cake for a wedding party I had on this weeks Monday.

The plan
First I made a plan and drawing of what i wanted to create

This is what the cake should going to look like. I went to the store and bought what I needed. Rolling fondant, color paste and something really awesome: edible sparkle powder.(I skipped the roses. Would be to much)

The process

making Royal icing

create pink fondant with color paste

the butterflies in the cardboard mall. They have to dry before putting them on the cake

strawberry marmalade on the cake,  on top there will be custard

The result

Because I was so busy with  putting those little balls an butterflies on the cake, I totally forgot to take pictures during the actual decorating.

There it is the result. the names are made of chocolate

sparkles on the wings of the butterflies 

here you see the sparkles very clearly

In the cake box

Decorating a cake takes actually more time then just baking one but it is absolutely worth it. I'm really proud on myself and the cake. 

Essence Fruity Blush sorbet review

Last, but absolutely not least, the Blush sorbet from the Essence Fruity collection. I never used blush because i  did not know how to use it well. after some tutorials  i do know now. I usualy use my pink blush from MNY.  When i saw the blush sorbet in the store, i liked the color with the golden shimmer in it and it has a nice scent. It has a mousse structure and you need a really tiny bit for your cheeks because it smears well.The name of the blush sorbet is: 01 Smoothie operator.

jar close up

here you can see the shimmer

When putting it on your skin just smear it over your cheecks with your fingers. That works the best for substances like these. It dries quite quickly You will get a healty light pink glow on your cheeks. I like it on my face. It is not to dark or to much when you use a little bit. Perfect for a nice summer day or evening  for the ultimate summer feeling. because it looks and smells like summer in a jar.

You can buy this one at  your local drugstore where they sell  essence. It's not very expensive: 3,29 euro. Be  quick, limited editons from Eccense are not there for a long time.

Here are some pictures from my  cheecks:

on the hand. As you can see you do not need much of it

Spring is finally here

Last week i had to wear my winter jacket because it was just 12°C. Since yesterday it is finally spring here in the Netherlands. Time for spring clothing. That also means that i can wear one of my favorite pair of shoes.

Also i found a sister today for my mint green sunglasses. She now has a light pink friend.

And a pair of crochet ballerina shoes

Essence Fruity eyeshadow sorbet review

Essence has a new limited editoin line for this spring. It's named Fruity. The whole collection exsist of 5 colors of nailpolish, a cream blush, 3 colors of eyeshadows, a sealing top coat, a scented topcoat, 2 lipbalms and little fruity figures for on you nails. The lipbalms and fruity figures are the only ones I did not buy.

In this  review I will talk about the eyeshadows. They come in a little glass jar with a pastel colored cap that represents the color in the jar. Price: € 2,79

Here you see all 3 Fruity eyeshadow sorbets

They  all have a little wet mousse structure. The green and pink are a bit more wet then the gold one.
The first one is the peach colored one. It wears the name: 01 peach beauty. It's a pink/peach with metallic shimmer. When looking at it  the metallic gives some kind of pink gold shine.

The second one has the name: 02 banana Joe. This one is my favorite(even got a compliment today about this nice color). It has a yellow/gold color. The shimmers in this one are a bit more bigger. Like mini flakes. Om the eye it gives a combination of silver with gold. That depends on the light.

Number three, the last one, is named: 03 one kiwi a day…. A very light green with a metallic shimmer in it.  That gives it a green/gold metallic shine.

What I absolutely like about this eye shadow sorbet collection is the nice sparkle they all have. Also they do dry very quickly when you put them on. So you do not have to wait to blink with your eyes or to put another layer of it on your eye. It does not smudge or run away. It stays on your eyelids all day. Even when you  touch or rub it  with your finger it will stay on.
To put in on your eyelids, just use your fingers.
For me as a wearer of contact lenses this sort of eye shadow is fantastic. No powder in my eyes. And  fab colors, like these three to wear. They really  give me that feeling that summer is on his way to grey and cold Holland.

Here are some pictures of the eye shadow sorbet on my hand. I've tried  to make them in different angles so that the effect of the metallics and shimmer will be viewable. On all the pictures, from left to right: Peach beauty, One kiwi a day..., Banana Joe

If you want to buy one or more of these amazing eyeshadow sorbet colors be quick. The Fruity collection is an Limited Edition. Find out on Essence where you can buy them.

Essence nail colour 3 review

Essence has released a new nail polish collection. The collection exists of duo colors. You can use the colors separated or layer them on your nails. I Bought: 02 shopping trip in Soho

At the moment you can buy them in 6(actually 12)colours which you can see on the website

First the packing. This nail polish comes in cylinder shaped bottles connected with a middle part, the brushes. If find the packaging very useful. Because of the cylinder shape and also the right thickness it is very comfy to paint your nails.

Colors: I like the colors. The are very bright. And do all contain a glitterpolish in the bottle on the other side.

Price: not expensive. they are €2,79.

Review Essence nail colour 3: 02 shopping trip in Soho


In this photo, the pink nailpolish named: shopping trip in soho. This is a shimmering pink colour. I have to layers on my nails. It's a nice pink colour


In this photo I've putted the glitter polish named: party all noght long on top of the pink colour. This turns the colour into an dark colour of pink with a little sparked. Like a lovely Barbie Pink. Personally i think the sparkles could have made a little bit more present. But it still gives a nice effect.

I was curious about how it would look the other way around(first sparkle layer then the pink polish. Since I already painted my own nails, The next photo's are my moms nails.


This is the party all night long polish. Hope it is visible enough because of the flashlight. It is an semitransparent polish in a dark pink.



On top of the sparkle layer, I've putted the pink layer, shopping trip in Soho. It has quite the same effect as the first combination. but now you will get a shiny dark pink.

I think I will buy some more of this polishes since I do like them.
