Sinful Colors

My best friend introduced me to the dangerous fact that Poundland sells name brand name products, such as Rimmel, Revlon and Sally Hansen. When I was younger I was one of those people that shunned 99p/£1 shops, and wouldn't be caught dead being seen in one. But in this economic climate we should be saving money where we can, particularly on luxury items. And when I say luxury, I mean things that don't fall under the header of necessities.

China Glaze: Ruby Pumps & Glitter Goblin

Hey dolls,

CHINA GLAZE

Disclaimer: On the day I decided to take my pictures the lighting was a pain in the butt (working when it felt like it). They didn't look this dark on my camera but luckily you can still see the products :) I'm trying new ways and settings to take my pictures, its a working progress but I'm getting there :)

These are my first ever China Glaze polishes I've ever bought (shock horror, I always used to use my sister's ones)

GLITTER GOBLIN

£4.29

The name of this polish is very fitting,, its like a glitter goblin sneezed into the bottle (I know that sounds gross but its the best I got haha).  This polish reminds me of a 70s disco. I can imagine the women all dressed up with a polish like this on their clothes, make up or outfit, all glittered up to the nines.

At first I wasn't sure about this polish but I've really grown to like it. To get it opaque and even it unfortunately needs 3-4 coats. The good thing is it doesn't feel all thick or goopy with all the layers.

RUBY PUMPS

£4.29

The first time I heard about this polish was in one of FleurDeForce's vlogs, and I fell in love with it mainly because it reminded me of The Wizard of Oz. Its not showing up in the pictures but this is such a glittery ruby red nail polish. And it doesn't have that annoying bitsy feel to it, you know where you can feel the actual glitter particles (like glitter goblin).

You need 2 coats to make it an even finish.

The best thing about these polishes they dry pretty quick. I will definitely be buying more China Glaze nail polishes in the future.

What are your favourite China Glaze nail polishes?

Avon Haul C14

Hey Guys,

So here is my Avon haul, I 've got another delivery coming on Thursday (that's how late this post is going up...apologies *flutters eyelashes*) So instead waffling through an intro I'm just gonna get cracking...

 First up is this gorgeous Hello Kitty bag, in the magazine its classed as an overnight bag, but I happily use it as a handbag :D

£20.00

 Christian Lacroix - Absynthe EDP for her 50ml 

£15

I cant explain scents but all I know is that this perfume is fabulous. Its got this really sophisticated kind of scent to it, and the scent lasts for AGES, which I'm so happy about.

 Natural Vanilla Shake body lotion 200ml

£0.99

 This  lotion is mmmmm, it smells delicious.And like the perfume the scent lasts AGES!

Hello Kitty Cosmetic bag

£2.99

 Beauty Bonus Bag, when you brought 2 things from set pages you got this for free. I think it was worth £24

It came with:

• Anew Clinical Thermafirm Face Lifting Cream - trial size - which I wont be using
• PVC Cosmetics bag
• Ultra colour rich Mega impact lipstick - Really Rosy
• Nailwear pro nail enamel - Sequined Turquoise

 I couldn't get a good swatch photo cos the true colour of the lipstick just was not showing up properly. But it is such a pretty colour.

 True Colour Eye Duo - Midnight Rose

£3

 Unfortunately theses don't have a name :(  The purple is coming up quite blue in the photo. But in real life its not. I have to build these colours up a bit cos I don't think these were designed for my skin tone. But once built up they are so pretty.

 True Colour Eye Duo - Midnight Sky

£3

 Apologies for my eyebrows in the pics, they need doing *hangs head* haha I actually hurt my eyes trying to build up the colour, its feels really weird and a but sore :( but stick to a make up brush instead of the sponge tip applicator provided. :(

Nailwear Pro Nail enamel

Left: Vivid Violet -£5

Right: Decadence - £5

I will be doing swatches of these in my nail haul, keep an eye out :)

 Eyeshadow brush

£2.50

 Pro Luscious lip pout lip colour - Spiced Wine

£5

This lipstick comes with a lip gloss in the lid.I was trying to get the sparkle in this lip gloss to come up, it really hasn't caught it in the swatch. Its just about picked up in the picture above.

I bought a few eyeliners,

Big colour eye pencil - Blue Azure and Frosted Ice - £4

Glimmerstick Diamonds eyeliner in Sugar Plum - £5

Glimmerstick Diamonds eyeliner in Twilight Sparkle - £1.25

Swatches:

Top 2 - Blue Azure and Frosted Ice

Bottom 2 -  Glimmerstick Diamonds eyeliner in Twilight Sparkle and Sugar Plum

I am so happy with these eyeliners. The eye pencil duo is so creamy and pigmented. And the glimmersticks just glide on so nicely. With Sugarplum I would probably find a colour close to it and apply it over the top to intensify the colour if you are of a darker skin tone.

I hope you enjoyed this post :)
