MUA New Lip Trios Temptress and Siren with Lip swatches

Today I'm going to show you swatches of the new MUA Lip Trios. They have 3 different colours for the lip trios (temptress,Scarlet and Siren). The ones I have are temptress and Siren.

Temptress has reddish shades.

Siren has a plum and 2 nude shades

Has you can see from the pictures both lip trios give a wash of colour to the lips. They are not full coverage but they give a pretty glossy finish. On my lips they lasted the same as regular lipstick.
My favorite trio is siren.

The lip trios* are available on the MUA online store and selected Superdrug stores.
Price £2.50 each

LA Colors Aztec Orange swatch & Review

Spring and Summer are my favourite seasons to wear orange nail polishes. I know lots of people don't like orange but on my yellow skin tone it stands out like a dream. LA Colors Aztec Orange it's a bright orange red with some micro glitter. I love the colour and the formula its ok. The only thing I don't like is that it takes about an hour to dry. I might try to use a fast drying spray because I know myself and if it takes too long to dry as much as I like a colour I won't be wearing it . Do you have this shade? Does it take has much time to dry?

Revlon Lip Butters: Cupcake Lip swatches

I must admit I'm not a fan of the revlon lip butters but once I bought them I have to wear them. I like the formula of these but what makes me not loving them is the fact that I prefer more pigmented lipsticks and a little bit longer lasting too. The formula of these is so creamy that they don't last almost anything on me and I'm not a girl that likes to reapply her lipstick every hour. Anyway, today I'm showing you cupcake which is a blue pink shade. I like it but like I said I like something more pigmented. On my lips the lip butter look very glossy because yesterday I exfoliate and pamper my lips. No gloss or balm applied on the lips for the pictures.

If you follow my blog you know that a few weeks ago I started this new series of nostalgia polishes. This series means that I will be showing once in a while old nail polish colours that until today I’m in love with. I had very positive feedback for this new series and I would like to invite you all to share with me your own nostalgia polishes. Today, I choose to show you China Glaze CC Courage that came out in 2009 on the Wizard of ooh ahz collection. CC courage is a frosty dark toned purple with some silver glitters. I'm not a fan of frosty eyeshadows or nail polishes but I can't say no to a purple with glitters. Did you get this colour? Do you still have it?

I applied 2 coats for the pictures.

BornPretty White Buckle Nail Display Tools

Hi everyone.

I was sent by the Born Pretty Store a great product for all of us that love nails. I usually display my bottles with a fake nail for colour reference. Now with the White Buckle-Nail-Display is so much easier since it attaches to the neck of the bottle and doesn't come out until we want it to. I can also practice nail art designs and display them on my bottles. To me this is a really cleaver and useful. They sell them in bags of 10pcs, 20 pcs or 50pcs. The bottles I tried they all fit well OPI, China Glaze, orly, Barry m, Kiko, Sinful colors, Essie Color club, Barielle, Revlon,Essence. The only bottles that the display didn't attach very well is the round thick bottles like Nails inc, Catrice and Gosh. Have you seen this product before? What you think of it?

Here is the link for the shop Born Pretty Store and you can use my 10% coupon"JQL91" on any order.

Barry M new Nail Art Pens and Nail Design

Barry M launched not long ago 4 new nail art pens in the shade black, pink, white and silver. These pens are amazing. In my opinion they are much better than the regular nail art pens because they look like a real pen. Its so easy to draw lines, hearts,dots,etc. The only thing I don't like is the price as they cost £5 each. I bought my ones on a 3 for 2 offer which makes them much more affordable.Do you have any of this pens? What do you think of it?

Gosh 620 Tropicana Nail Polish Swatch

This has to be the most gorgeous coral shade I have ever had. Tropicana its a bright ( picture doesn't show how bright it is) coral shade that came out in the Spring collection 2013. The formula is very opaque. I applied only one coat for the picture. Tropicana it's a limited edition colour so you better grab it while you still can.

I bought mine in Superdrug on a 3 for 2 sale.
