Upcoming Make-up Products For The Next Few Months

So i did one of these type of posts a long time ago and i thought i might as well do another one. These will be the upcoming make-up products that which be launching in the UK in the next couple of months. Some will be high brand and some wont be. These are the products that will be coming out very soon -

Topshop will be launching another glitter nail polishes in their make-up range. They do have a collection of glitter nail polishes (only 3) but they have never done a purple glitter nail polishes before. This is all going to change on the 21st March 2012 when they are going to be releasing a new colour called razzmatazz and razzmatazz will be a purple glitter top coat which can be used over other nail polishes.

Benefit has been releasing a lot of brand new products lately and they still keep on coming. The next product coming out is a liquid bronze highlighter. This is a first for benefit and it will join the liquid highlighter collection they have already which is highbeam and moonbeam. Sunbeam will be launched in June which will be ready for the summer and will compliments all skin tones. This can be mixed with moisturiser or foundation to make it less pigmented and can be used as an all over warm glow ready for the summer.

Collection 2000 are bringing out a new mascara called Multiplier mascara( Love the name). The multiplier has been developed to bring 14 times more volume to the lashes to create a wide-eyed look. The mascara is priced at £4.99 and is available at superdrug and boots stores nationwide on March 17 2012.

Last up is a limited edition collection by Boots No7 for the summer. The collection has been created by lisa eldridge and is called the Summer of dreams collection. I also love this name, it gives a nice feel to the collection and already interests me. The collection includes a bronzer (£13), glitter top coats in gold and silver (£8 each) a set of four eye crayons in Metallic Bronze, Hazy, Green, Cornflour Blue and Metallic Grey(£13) and lastly a Nourishing Lip shine glosses in Pink and Peach (£10.50 each). All these products sounds interesting and i might have to buy the bronzer and the glitter top coats.

First Thoughts On : Opi Divine Swine and Excuse Moi Nail Lacquers

I have never owned a Opi nail Polish or Lacquer in my life and i thought to myself, i have got to try one of their nail lacquers to see what was all the hype about. Opi is a quite expensive nail polish brand and i think they are stated and started in the US and you cannot get Opi in drugstores in the UK like Superdrug or Boots. There has always been a lot of talk and hype about Opi's nail lacquers and i have finally decided and let myself buy two of their nail lacquers.

Both of these nail lacquers are from the muppets collection which was released at christmas 2011, so its still pretty new to their collection of nail lacquers. There is a range of different nail lacquers you can buy in this collection but they are pretty expensive to buy in the first place. I bought these two nail lacquers on ebay and yes they are real ones since i bought them from a proper supplier and checked other people's reviews before purchasing.

The first one i bought is called Excuse Moi (Love the name). I have to say that this one has got glitter and colour to the polish instead of just glitter. This means that you do not have to use as much to get the full effect you want. It is a pink colour with lots of glitter. The glitter comes in a variety of colours such as pinks, reds, blues and greens. Just when you look at the bottle you can see all the different colours of glitter and how pretty this colour really is. I have never had a nail polish like this one and i really cant wait to try it out soon.











The second nail lacquer is called Divine Swine and i think this is one of miss piggy's collection. I have seen quite a lot of videos and reviews about divine swine because some people like it and some people dont, so its a love/hate relationship with this one. Just through the glass bottle i can see that there is silver chunks of glitter with purple glitter in a clear finish. So i know this is not going to be quite a strong colour and would need a lot of product to get the full effect i want. But i am still looking forward to try this product out sometime.











Overall i am quite happy with these two nail lacquers from Opi and i hope they will live up to the hype. Both of these nail lacquers can come in mini's or full sixe. I know the full size is 15ml which is quite a good size for a nail polish. I will keep you posted on the outcome when i finally use them x-x
