Review: Everyday Minerals Cheek - Come What May

About the product:
Its just like your natural skin, but with a fairy's kiss of shimmer.






My Opinion:
This is my very first blush by Everyday Minerals. What I really love about this blush is that it blends so easily into my skin giving it a beautiful and natural look. I love how the color looks on my skin tone, its definitely the perfect blush color if you have light skin like mine. This is a shimmery blush which I know is a big no no for many off you. A little shimmer to the cheeks is pretty, especially in the summer but remember not to overdo it.

I love the packaging, its very simple and cute. When you open up the lid, there is a little plastic sliding cap inside that prevents the product from making a huge mess. Thats definitely a big bonus and it also makes it more easy to travel with too. You dont have to worry about the product getting spilled everywhere into your makeup bag. None of my other mineral products has that cap inside of the container.I love the name of this blush as well. I instantly think of the song Come What May from the movie Moulin Rouge, which is one of my all time favorite movies ^_^

I am extremely happy that this product dont break me out. I had a bad experience with a mineral foundation a few years back by the brand bare Minerals. Since then I have been a little careful using mineral products on my face. But luckily for me, this works great and I haven't seen any signs to break outs.


Where to buy?
You can buy Come What May on everydayminerals.com for $9. Everyday Minerals ships worldwide and they dont test on animals. You can follow Everyday Minerals on Facebook.

Jewelmint: Unlock My Heart Necklace

You guys have probably heard all about Jewelmint from different beauty gurus on youtube.
If you haven't, its basically an online Jewelry store store which offers stunning personalized jewelry for only $29.99 a month. Its a collaboration between Kate Bosworth and Cher Coulter. You take a style quiz to let them know your personal style. Then based on your style, they will recommend jewelry that you may like. Unfortunately its only available in the US, but I found some off my favorite pieces on Ebay. Ebay can certainly be a lifesaver sometimes haha!

Here is the first piece that I want to show you guys:
The Unlock My Heart Necklace ^_^






This is the Unlock My Heart Necklace which is super gorgeous and unique.
I love that you can actually open the heart and add a picture inside off it, how cool is that?
Im not going to add a picture inside off mine, but I love the idea that I can do it if I want to.

I paid around $40 for this necklace on Ebay. To me its worth it since we dont have anything similar to it here, I think its a really special necklace. I have ordered three more Jewelmint pieces, hopefully they will arrive soon as well :)

If you enjoy reading my posts, feel free to follow me on Facebook and Twitter. You can always reach me there and if you have any blog related questions and requests, dont be affraid to ask me. I would love to talk to you guys♥

Do you own any Jewelmint pieces? :)

Review: Bela by Zoya

About the product:
Zoya Nail Polish in Bela can be best described as: Sheer, dreamy, peach-splashed light pink in a milky creme base. Very pretty and candy-like pink for a sheer look or a French manicure.


My Opinion:
I love this nail polish called Bela. This was the first nail polish by Zoya that I bought. Im very impressed with this brand. The quality is great, they have a huge range off colors to choose from and they are always coming out with new collections which is quite dangerous for us nail polish addicts haha! ^_^

I actually prefer the Zoya nail polish brushes over OPI and China Glaze's, just because I feel like it does a better job applying the nail polish and the finished result looks better to me. Bela is a beautiful light pink color, which lasted me for about a week before it started to chip. That is pretty impressive. I have many nail polishes in my collection, but not that many that actually last me this long. This is a very light color, so you need a few coats to get the same color as in the bottle.

Bela Bela was featured in the movie Black Swan which is an amazing movie. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend that you do. Natalie Portman's role as Nina is fantastic, she is so talented. The next colors I will probably buy is Barbie, Jolie and Caitlyn, they look like such beautiful colors as well. If you have any colors you want to recommend me, please let me know in the comments ^_^


Where to buy?
If you are from the US, you can buy Zoya nail polishes on Zoya.com for $8. I have heard that they are working on worldwide shipping too, so lets keep our fingers crossed ^_^

I found Bela on Ebay since Zoya dont offer worldwide shipping yet. You can find a lot of great Zoya deals on Ebay. Check out this link for the range off Zoya colors on Ebay.

What is your favorite nail polish by Zoya? ^_^

Burlesque by OPI












Show It and Glow It, Glow Up Already, Sparkleicious, Simmer & Shimmer.

Now that I finally have a good nail polish remover that removes glitter nail polishes, I can use my OPI Burlesque Collection. Im a big fan of the movie, I think its very entertaining, fun and the music and dancing is really catchy. Im a big fan of Christina Aguilera' voice, she is so talented ^^

I ordered these from a website called MBeautyLounge after seeing the movie in the Cinema. I have to say that im not impressed about their customer service. I also bought the mini Burlesque nail polish set which I never got. I have tried contacting them but they wont return any of my emails, so thats very disappointing to me. I Guess I wont be ordering from their website anymore.

What do you think about the colors?
Have you experienced anything similar like this before?
Love Christine♥
