Gina Tricot, L'Oreal Paris & H&M: Mini Haul Post & Photos

Hey Sweeties, what have you guys been up to today? :)
I went shopping with my mom today and I only found a few items that really grabbed my attention. I haven't done a haul post in such a long time so I thought it would be perfect to share the items I picked up. I hope you enjoy my itty bitty haul and oh, if you want me to put together a few Outfits using the clothes I picked up today, let me know in the comments below. I miss doing my Outfit posts, I always get great feedback from you :)

 ♥ Top From Gina Tricot. 

I absolutely love the color off this top, its really beautiful and it was on sale for $9. I can't wait to wear this, its going to look cute with a lot off different looks :)

♥ Skirt From Gina Tricot. 

How gorgeous is this skirt? I absolutely love it and when I saw it in the store, I just knew it had to be mine. It was only $14 which is a total steal, don't you think so too? I think this skirt is going to look super cute with the royal blue top above, a short leather jacket and my Alexander Wang Freja boots, I think I smell an Outfit post, haha :)

♥ L'Oreal Paris Gentle Eye Makeup Remover & Concealer from H&M.

I'm all out off my beloved NYX Makeup Remover and Cleaning Oil, so I decided to pick up the Gentle Eye Makeup Remover by L'Oreal Paris. I used to use their oil-based makeup remover a long time ago and I really liked it. Something I really like about the NYX Makeup Remover and Cleaning Oil, is that it removes absolutely everything which is really nice. The only downside about it is that it feels very oily and greasy so I only use it to remove my eye makeup. Just a few wipes and your waterproof makeup is completely gone, love it. If I don't like this one, I will order a new bottle off the NYX Makeup Remover and Cleaning Oil :)

I also picked up one off the concealer by H&M. I have tried this product before but in another shade and I really liked it. Hopefully this is a good shade for me. I wish they had little testers in the store because its almost impossible to find the right shade just by looking at the shade in the tube.

Have you bought anything nice lately? Thanks for stopping by :) Xoxo, Christine♥

Tutorial: How to Create Fun Spring Nails Using a Round Band Aid

Hey Cupcakes :)

So, I recently came across this little band aid trick and I thought I would do a nail art Tutorial and share it with you guys. If you want to know how you can create this fun and different nail look for Spring, just keep reading :)

 ♥ 1. As always, start off by painting your nails with a base coat to help protect them against staining. Now, paint all off your nails white. They have to be 100% dry before you do the next step.

♥ 2. Take out one off your round band aids. What I like to do first, is to place it on my skin and then remove so that it wont be as much adhesive left on it. The reason why I do it is because I don't want my nail polish to come off when I remove the band aid.

 ♥ 3. When you have placed the band aid on your nail, take a bright/pastel Spring color off your choice. Remember that some band aids have tiny holes in them so don't paint over the entire band aid. Now, slowly pull off the band aid and ta-da, your finished :)

 ♥ The Finished Look.

Products I used: 

♥ NYX Ridge Filler Base Coat

♥ H&M Nail Polish in Pure White

♥ Jesse's Girl Nail Polish in Cupcake Frosting

♥ China Glaze Nail Polish in Lemon Fizz, For Audrey & Entourage

♥ Miners Cosmetics Nail Polish in Coral Cutie

 I think this is such a fun look for Spring.You can definitely play around with different colors and combinations and just have fun with the band aid look. My next look is going to be a black one with no base color or maybe a fun pink look, what combination do you think will look cute? :)

If you have tried out this look, please leave the link to your post in the comments below or Tweet me a picture on Twitter, I would love to see it :) 

What do you think about this little trick? Have you tried it out yet? Thanks for stopping by :) Xoxo, Christine♥

MAC Little Girl Type: Review, Photos & Swatches

Hey Cupcakes, how are you all doing? 

I got one of my wisdom teeth removed a few days ago and its been such a painful weekend. I'm finally starting to feel better now and I'm happy to be back, sharing new and fun posts with all off you again. I missed you guys so much, did you miss me? :)

Tonight, I have another review to share with you and I will be talking about one off my favorite nail polishes for Spring and Summer, Little Girl Type from MAC. I hope you enjoy my post and please feel free to share your favorite Spring and Summer nail polishes with all off us in the comment section below :)

 ♥ MAC Nail Polish in Little Girl Type. 

Little Girl Type is a beautiful light lavender color with a cream finish. This nail polish came out with the Quite Cute Collection which was released in Spring 2011. The formula off this nail polish is a bit thin but that only makes it easier to apply. Little Girl Type was a little streaky on the first coat but it gets better on the second coat and perfect on the third. I highly recommend that you apply three medium-thick coats to get it as opaque as possible :)

♥ MAC Nail Polish in Little Girl Type. 

This is one off my favorite nail polishes in my entire nail polish collection, its very girly and perfect for Spring and Summer. I love the packaging off the MAC nail polishes as well, they look very cute and neat at the same time but I wish they were more affordable. I bought Little Girl Type on Ebay when the Quite Cute Collection came out and I paid $14.00 + shipping for it. Now MAC nail polishes are $16.00, have they turned up the price or have their nail polishes always been $16.00?

I have heard that Nice is Nice by Essie is a perfect Dupe for Little Girl Type. Since I haven't tried Nice is Nice, I can't tell you if its true or not but I  have seen swatches and they look pretty identical. Light as Air by China Glaze is another nail polish that is a great alternative to Little Girl Type. Light as Air is a just a tad bit darker than Little Girl Type but its nothing big and you probably wont notice it from far away.But when you look at it up close, you can definitely see that its a little darker. If you have Nice is Nice or Light as Air, you probably wont need this in your collection, unless you love nail polishes like myself :)

Rating:5/5

Where to buy?
Little Girl Type is a Limited Edition nail polish from MAC but I was able to find it on Ebay. Here is a link to a Top Rated Seller on Ebay, I'm pretty sure that her products are authentic. If you don't want to spend the money that much money on this nail polish, you can always check out Nice is Nice by Essie and Light as Air by China Glaze. You can find Nice is Nice here and Light as Air here :)

What do you think about Little Girl Type? Whats your favorite nail polish from MAC? Thanks for stopping by :) Xoxo, Christine♥

Tutorial: How To Create Effie Trinket Inspired Nails

Hey Cupcakes :)
Its time for another nail art tutorial and this time it's inspired by Effie Trinket from The Hunger Games. I saw the movie a couple off weeks ago and I really liked her nails. I thought I would try to re-create her nails from the movie. If you want to learn how to create these fun Effie Trinket inspired nails, just keep reading :) 

 ♥ 1. Start off by applying a base coat to protect your nails. 

♥ 2. Paint your nails with a medium dark fuchsia nail polish. 

 ♥ 3. After your nails have completely dried, take a gold nail polish and a makeup sponge, and create a gold gradient.

♥ 4. Sponge the first layer off gold nail polish two thirds off the way down your nails. Now, sponge a second layer half down your nails and finally a third layer only on the tip off your nails. 

 

♥ 5. Add a layer off fine glitter nail polish to complete the gradient. Since I don't have one in my collection, I decided to make one myself. If you want to see a DIY post on how you can create your very own glitter nail polish, let me know in the comments below.

♥ 6. Finish with a top coat to protect your design from chipping away. Now your design is finished and you can rock your Effie Trinket inspired nails :)

Products I used: 
♥ NYX Ridge Filler Base Coat.
♥ Wet n' Wild Nail Polish in FuchsiaRama
♥ Fine Glitter Nail Polish created by me. 

I actually don't like how my design turned out. It was really difficult to get the gold gradient to look exactly like I wanted it to look like and it was also my first time using a makeup sponge. But I guess it turned out okay, I definitely need more practice :)

Have you seen The Hunger Games? What do you think about the nail design? Thanks for looking :) Xoxo, Christine♥

Urban Decay Rollergirl Eyeshadow Palette: Review, Photos & Swatches

Hey Sweeties, how are you guys doing? :) 

Today I have another fun review to share with all off you and its an eyeshadow palette by one off my favorite brands, Urban Decay. I have fallen in love with the Rollergirl Eyeshadow Palette, if you want to see more photos and swatches off this lovely palette, just keep reading :) 

 ♥ Urban Decay Rollergirl Eyeshadow Palette. 

The Rollergirl Eyeshadow Palette contains four different eye shadows called Verve, Suspect, Darkhorse and Woodstock. You also get a 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Whiskey and a miniature Lip Junkie Lip gloss in Crush. 

  ♥ Urban Decay Rollergirl Eyeshadow Palette.  

  ♥ Urban Decay Rollergirl Eyeshadow Palette. 

Woodstock is a medium-dark fuchsia pink with a soft shimmer finish. Its a very pigmented and smooth eyeshadow which is a permanent shade from Urban Decay. You can buy Woodstock individually as a part of their permanent range or in this palette or the Fun Palette.Verve is a pigmented and smooth pearly oyster color, this is the only shade that is exclusive to this palette.

  ♥ Urban Decay Rollergirl Eyeshadow Palette. 

Suspect is a muted champagne bronze with a frost finish. This shade is also in the Book of Shadows Vol. III. Darkhorse is a pigmented, dark, sultry bronze shimmered brown. This shade is perfect to deepen up the crease and give your makeup look some dimension. Darkhorse is in the Original Naked Palette and in the Feminine Palette.

 ♥ Woodstock, Verve, Suspect & Darkhorse.

 ♥ 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Whiskey & Lip Junkie Lip Gloss in Crush.

  ♥ Urban Decay Rollergirl Eyeshadow Palette. 

I have never been disappointed in the quality and pigmentation off the Urban Decay eye shadows. My favorite shades from this palette is Verve and Suspect, they are perfect to wear all over the eyelid with just some eyeliner and mascara, its such a fast and easy look to do.

I like that they have added Woodstock as a pop off color to this palette. I think it brings something fun and different to the palette. I know some people don't like it but I actually think its pretty cool :) 

Verve is the only eye shadow in the Rollergirl Eye Shadow Palette that is exclusive to this palette. If you already own the Original Naked Palette, The Fun Palette or the Feminine Palette, you probably wont need this one in your collection. But to all off you who love collecting makeup or trying out something a little different than the usual neutral eye shadow palettes, I highly recommend this :)

  ♥ Urban Decay Rollergirl Eyeshadow Palette. 

Urban Decay always comes out with really pretty eyeshadow palettes. The color selection and the way they do their packaging is really beautiful. Oh man, I'm suck a sucker for cute packaging, haha but I bet I'm not the only one? :)

Rating: 4/5

Where to buy?
The Rollergirl Eyeshadow Palette is available on Urban Decay's website for only $13 at the moment. I highly recommend that you pick up this palette while its on sale, here is the link. You can also find this palette on Ebay, but its a little more expensive there, here is the link to the seller :)

I won the Rollergirl Eyeshadow Palette in one off Krystal's giveaways. Check out her blog here :)

Nails Of The Day: Seventeen Supreme Nail Polish in #82

Hey Cupcakes, how was your Easter? I hope it was as wonderful as mine was. I ate a lot of yummy candy and watched a bunch off movies + I got to spend a few days with my love and his family as well :) 

Today I have a Nail Of The Day that I want to share with you all. I recently did a swap with the lovely Gina from House Of Doll and she sent me three beautiful nail polishes by Seventeen Cosmetics. Today I'm wearing #82 which is from their Seventeen Supreme range and it's also my favorite one off the three colors Gina sent me.

Seventeen Supreme #82 is a beautiful greyish purple color which I absolutely love and adore. This one really reminds me off a nail polish by Maybelline that I wanted years ago but couldn't find anywhere. Thank you so much Gina for sending me this beautiful color, I love it :)

Beauty Swap: Seventeen Cosmetics & GT Cosmetics

Hey Dolls, how are you all feeling today? :)
I have a little beauty swap to share with all off you tonight. After doing a blog post on the Candy Yum Yum lipstick by MAC, Gina from House Of Doll asked me if I was interested in swapping it for some off her favorite nail polishes. Since I wasn't feeling the color (it's way too bright for me) I told her that she could have it, so we decided to do a little beauty swap.

Gina sent me four off her personal favorite nail polishes and I have to agree with her that these colors do look gorgeous. If you are a nail polish lover like myself, you are going to love these shades as well. To see photos off the four colors she sent me, just keep reading :)
