Look What Arrived!

Look what I found at my door this morning! My MIA e.l.f nail polish in Dark Glitter Purple! It arrived in the same size box as my other products arrived in together, a bit of a waste I thought? Anyway I am disappointed in this colour and I will tell you why.

It didn’t come in a product box this time (no waste), it was just wrapped in a plastic film, so you can tell if it has been opened or not, which is great! It also had a sticker on it saying, ‘Brand New Formula’, overall it looks like any other £1.50 e.l.f nail polish, but the colour is way off!

When I first saw it on their website it was a NEW colour and I was looking for a full glitter purple nail polish, like the Red Glitter by Barry M I have. The swatch on their website showed a full purple glitter colour, but when I received it this morning, let’s just say, it is not what I wanted! L

This is what I was led to believe it looked like,
This is what it really looks like,
- Sorry about the state of my nail, I just wanted a quick swatch!
It is really dark and it has more blue glitters in it than purple and the formula is very washy, you would need several coats, plus it looks too shiny/glossy, a glitter polish is not typically shiny/glossy. I’m grateful that they sent it me, but I just don’t like it, sorry!

It is partially my fault because I didn’t think to check swatches on Google Images, but the name and website swatch misled me for some reason, even though it does say Dark Glitter Purple, I was still expecting a colour more like e.l.f Purple Dream nail polish, but full on glitter! It is actually a nice colour, but just not my kind of colour and finish, better luck next time! J

Serial Sampler #16

I have a mascara sample I would like to share with you today. It is  False Lashes Extreme Black  by  MAC  and it is a 1g sample of the full size mascara. It is supposed to make your lashes appear thick, voluminous and full feathered with its ultra-thickening carbon black pigment mousse like formula. It should also lengthen, curl and separate your lashes and it should be long wearing, flake proof and smudge proof. This mascara does add quite a bit volume to your lashes, as well as length, separation and definition. It also slightly curls the tips of your lashes. I’m not sure if the ultra-thickening formula and carbon black pigment really adds anything extra and I wouldn’t say that it really gives you a full feathered look. It was easy to apply and after a couple of coats you are good to go. The effects do last all day, it is smudge-proof but not flake proof and I do like the small thin and precise brush. I did enjoy using this mascara and I would be int...
