Store review, Overallbeauty

Overallbeauty.com is owned by a lovely woman called Kim Snyder. When I first contacted the store, I got a fast response from Kim herself. I honestly believe she loves all her costumers and want to give everyone a good experience when shopping from her store.

This store contains many exciting products that you might not even have heard of before, and they also carry their own line of mineral makeup. One of the best sellers is Magic Lash Eyelash Enhancer, which I honestly hadn't heard much about but the product gets raving reviews everywhere! So I definitely want to try it out sometime.

Ever heard of BB couture nail polish? Overallbeauty is one of few stores that sells this brand, and I received one of those plus something from their mineral line today and a pumice sponge. Never heard of that either. So reviews of those products are coming up! (picture below)

The design of the page might seem a little confusing at first sight, but click around and explore because there seems to be many goodies in there, especially if you enjoy organic products like myself. Extra plus for swatches on many of the polishes.

PayPal verified and offers international shipping.



In fear of sounding like I'm bought, these are my honest opinions! :) Read more

Sunset sparkle

Last night I finally found a good use for NYX Glitter On the Go! I didn't like these for use as makeup really, since you have to pack it on pretty thickly to get the peachy colour. So I decided to try them out with nail polish, and recommend giving it a try.




And here's the result. I'm pretty satisfied, although the glitter would probably go on smoother if acrylic gel is used (my nails are pretty gritty right now and cling on to a lot of stuff, lol!). But it's easy and cute.

What I did basically was:

1. Apply basecoat
2. Cover tips with clear polish or a translucent polish with matching colour of the glitter (one tip of the time)
3. Pack on glitter with a brush
4. Apply topcoat on the tips
5. Carefully place images on the nails either using the topcoat as glue, or nail glue
6. Put some rhinestones on
7. Apply topcoat on entire nail

Done!

(Please ignore my cuticles, I have a bad habit of biting on them.. Sigh)







Here's the products I used:
Vivalanails water decals (They just didn't want to work with me, so I glued them on)
Rhinestonewheel from eBay (0.99$ inc. shipping!)
NYX Glitter On the Go, Sunset
Brush and tweezers
And a top coat to seal it

Face primer review

I've been testing out the green Bodyography Veil Foundation Primer. I bought this at Feelunique.
It comes in six shades:
Green - To reduce redness and blotchiness
Purple - To reduce dullness and bright up the complexion
Neutral - Hint of yellow to conceal undereye circles and give warmth
Clear - Anti age and somewhat sun protection
Tahitian Glow - Bronzer effect with shimmer
Monaco Matte - Bronzer effect without shimmer

So I chose the green one since my skin is very red because of rosacea and environmental sensitivity.
The container feels luxurious and a big plus for the pump. One pump gives enough product for the entire face, and it goes on smoothly and smells good. Minus for added perfume – I could do without the good smell to avoid that ingredient. The product looks and feels dry, but on the skin it's not dry if that makes sense. And of course it's a very green product! Don't worry about looking like Shrek when applying it, a little massaging and it will blend nicely with your skin.

Does it cover the redness? Like most green products that isn't a concealer, not much. And I understand that, otherwise I bet many people who bought the product would look green in a negative way. So in all it's okey.

Does it reduce blotchiness? Yepp! On my rosacea-related blotchiness (usually after a shower or a work out) it soothes and camouflages it.

Does it work well as a primer? I use mineral makeup only, and when I use this product.. No more cakey makeup! I've always had that problem on my cheeks. Or is that scaley perhaps.. Anyway, the makeup lasts all day and doesn't even run noticeably when I'm sweating like a pig working out.

I don't recommend using a primer every day since your skin needs to breathe, neither have it broken me out yet nor aggravated my case of perioral dermatitis (in fear of that happening I only use it 2ish times a week).

Shooting heart

Another easy "piff" to add on the nails, won't take much more then a couple of minutes. Looks like hairy hearts but, what the ick.
And I'm awaiting a package later today with nail polish. Hooray!

I won!

I'm super excited right now. And congratulations to the other winners as well. Our dear Heidi the blogger and Amanda from Kremfresh was giving away gift certificates on products from the Kremfresh website. The store focus on natural products without nasties which suits me perfectly, and boy do they have a lot of interesting products. I'm still trying to figure out which products to choose, but something from Oenothera
(I really have a hard time remembering this name, lol) and some soaps and stuff.

I recommend Norwegians to check it out!



Also check out Heidi's blog if you haven't (seriously).



Have a good weekend y'all! Read more

Retardins

You find them everywhere, but unlike other classes, noob paladins are easy to spot right away.

• They often have the title: Jenkins
• Guildless or in a guild with a very immature name
• On the horde side, it's usually the male characters with blonde short hair
  
• They do not buff you, and if they do they give everybody BoM
• They do not speak a word if you tell or ask them something
• Rarely attack mobs, they prefer looking at people doing the job
• Need roll on all the gear because of the OS they'll never use
• Few of them know what Divine Storm is, or any special attack for that matter

Cheap polish brand: Jordana, Fuchsia Flicker

Today I received my order from CC, 11 days shipping and 2 days handling. I ordered various (19) polishes, two blushes and two lipsticks. From L.A colors, NYX and the brand I hadn't heard of before, Jordana. Reviews of every item is coming up, but let me start with saying: Don't buy Jordana lipsticks!

Okey, I was really impressed with the nailpolishes from Jordana. This is swatches of Jordana Fuchsia Flicker. It's a pretty bright fuchsia pink with sparkles of different shapes. The bottle is 15ml, so you get a lot for your money here.
Application is great, good coverage on the first stroke for this one and I was pleased with two coats. The bottles are of glass and looks more expensive then they are.

I recommend trying it! But be aware of chipping if you don't use a high quality top coat.




Low budget approved
