Ciate nail polishes are very popular but also very expensive. They are not as expensive as Opi since one nail polish costs 9 pound and one nail polish from Opi is 11 pound. Anyway, in the July's issue of marie claire, there will be three ciate nail polishes you can choose from for free.
There is a hot pink one called Jelly Bean and the other two are a lilac/purple colour and a nude/pink colour. These are all for the summer season and only being released with marie claire. You will not be able to get these nail polishes anywhere else but this magazine and it will be limited edition.
Marie claire costs 3.70 pounds and the ciate polish usually costs 9 pound, so you do get a bit of saving which is brilliant.
I do love this hot pink nail polish because its pink and it has a blue sheen running through the polish which looks amazing and so pretty.
Get your free Ciate nail polish in july's edition of marie claire in all supermarkets and other stores

First Thoughts on : Maybelline colour tattoo 24hr in Eternal Gold
So the colour tattoo cream eyeshadows have been around in the us for a long time and everyone mentioned how great these products are and there is such a hype around them. But when they came to the UK over a month ago, everyone loved them and they literally sold out in boots and superdrug. I found it pretty hard to find eternal gold for a while because it was sold out completely.
I watched videos where people were saying that eternal gold is the most beautiful gold colour they have ever seen and its something that they havent had before. I have got to say that i completely agree with what they have said because the colour is so beautiful and its not a colour that i have in my collection.
In the pot, it looks really bright, shimmery gold colour and when you apply it to the lids, some of the colour base does fade but the amount of shimmer you get is unbelievable. It looks like foil on your lids and its the most beautiful colour for the summer.
I havent properly tried it out and see if it really does stay on your eyes for the whole 24 hours and how quickly it fades but from just swatching it and applying it to my lids, i am pretty amazed and going to buy more of these cream eyeshadows :D

First Thoughts on the Revlon Lip Butters!!
So there has been a lot of hype around the Revlon lip butters for a while now since they got released in the US about 8 months ago or something like that. Anyway everyone has been raving about this product on youtube and blogs. The lip butters were released in the UK about 2 months ago and i found these hard to find since everyone went out and bought them. Took me a while to find but i did finally tracked some down and i bought three.
I went onto my local boots and they stocked the lip butters. There were a range of lip butters from brights to nudes and i think they had about 8 shades to choose from. But looking on the boots website, they have 14 shades in total. Anyway i bought 3 lip butters since they were on offer 3 for 2 at boots at that time. The lip butters are all pink shades because i prefer pink to any other colour. The 3 that i have are Sweet Tart, Cotton Candy and Strawberry Shortcake.
First off, i love the packaging, i love the design on the front of it because its a nice and its a fishnet design which makes it more interesting rather than just a plain boring packaging. The packaging seems quite secure and not going to fall apart quickly. It's quite hard to get the packaging away from the lip butter, which is a good thing because it keeps the lip butter secure.
Sweet tart is a quite bright pink and properly the most pigmented out of all 3. Cotton candy is the lightest out of all 3 and this one to me looks like it has a gold sheen going throughout the lip butter. Strawberry shortcake is sort of like Sweet tart but a lot lighter in colour.
I havent really tried them out that much so i cannot give a review but i can say from using the lip butter a few times, they seem moisturising but quite hard to apply evenly. I think that they are ok but not over the moon with them but i think i need to give them a proper workout in order to have a proper review.

L'oreal Lumi Magique Foundation And Primer/BB Sample!
L'oreal recently launched their new foundation Lumi Magique into shops and the feedback i have seen, has shown that this foundation is quite good. However it is quite pricey for a drugstore foundation, so having a sample of the foundation before you buy is a great idea.
As i said, L'oreal are currently still giving out samples of the lumi magique foundation and there is a surprise when you open the sample package. You will also get a sample of their primer/BB cream.This is quite nice of them since i had no clue that i was going to recieve another sample along with it.
If you want a sample of the new Lumi Magique foundation then please follow this link which directs you to the page :)

The Colgate Maxwhite One Toothpaste Challenge!!
Anyone heard of the Colgate maxwhite one? Apparently this toothpaste really makes your teeth a shade whiter in a week. Well this is what i read on the internet reading customers reviews on this toothpaste and i thought i might as well try and see if what they say really does work, or its just another toothpaste which says it makes teeth whiter but it doesnt do anything apart from making your breath smell nice.
I dont know how long this toothpaste has been out on the market but i was going around Tesco and i saw this. I have tried so many whitening toothpastes that claim they whiten teeth but they never do. Colgate maxwhite one, states that this toothpaste can make teeth one shade whiter in one week!. I looked on the internet for reviews and people have said that it even makes teeth one shader whiter in 3 days. This looks pretty interesting and had to try it out.
I will use it for one week, 3 times a day which is the instructed number of uses and will see if this toothpaste makes my teeth whiter in one week. I will do another post on this after the week is up, to review and see if the toothpaste works or not :) x-x

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
