Purple Sparkle Gradation Nails


What I used for this gorgeous look is a lavender base, then a heavy purple glitter on the tips, then a coat of fine purple glitter, then a coat of chunky glitter.


Eylure Naturalities Double Lashes False Lashes in 204 Review


I love false lashes for nights out and special occasions. I tried a few Eylure ones, but always thought that they aren't dramatic enough. I then spotted their Double Lashes collection recently and decide to go for it! 


Apparently, some celebrities stick like four pairs of lashes on top of one another, for that full, intense, textured effect. So here are Eylure coming up with exactly this effect, but without the hassle of adding pairs on top of each other! Plus imagine how heavy that would feel!!!



I picked up the 204 pack which looked like the most dramatic out of the lot I saw in Boots. 




As you can see, these are very full and so textured when you seem them sideways.


This is what they look like when on, totally gorgeous! I loved the look, and because I wouldn't be a beginner at wearing false lashes, these did not feel super heavy when on. I did not use the glue that is included, so cannot comment on that. However, the Illamasqua glue that I used, held them throughout the night. They did not stick out at the corners, since I trimmed them to my eyes to fit perfectly.



I highly recommend these, and will be sure to buy more for other occasions around Christmas/New Year. ;)

Leighton Denny Nail Polish in Viva La Diva Review




Viva La Diva is a gorgeous bright red glossy colour. It lasted on my nails for about two days, which isn't bad for a red.

Inglot 5 Eye Shadow Stack Freedom System Palette in Browns 329 Matte, 53 AMC, 458 DS, 378 Matte, 395 Pearl & Purples 483 DS, 428 Pearl, 494 DS, 353 Matte, 453 Pearl Review & Swatches

Inglot is a Polish company well established in Poland, and only recently has started to expand around the world. I never even heard of this company until they set up their counter in Jervis Shopping Centre, Dublin. They've a load of other pro products, however, as usual it's the eyeshadows that caught my eye! Inglot have individual eyeshadows as well these stackable palettes which I am writing this review on. I was told that the individuals are more or less the same colours as the ones you pick for your palette, but less pigmented.

So these eyeshadow palettes have a system called Freedom, where you get to pick any colours you like from the broad choice on display. The beauty about this system is that you get to pick your palette, i.e. a 2, 4, 5, 10 or 20, and it will cost you for the palette and the eyeshadows included in the price. So, for the 5 shadow palette it costs €30, for the magnetic palette and the shadows in  it.




The palette itself looks quite sturdy, and very different to what I've seen before. The bottom with the slots has four magnets on each corner, and the cover (it's kind of glass material..) has the same, so they stick to each other. And so, if you have more of the Inglot palettes, you're able to stack them nicely, as they hold on to each other quite well. Smart packaging, no waste of space. :)









  
PALETTE 1 - Browns / Neutrals: 329 Matte, 53 AMC, 458 DS, 378 Matte, 395 Pearl

This is the first palette I picked with brown colours, as I wear those a lot. Plus, I don't really have anything that's as pigmented and unusual as these.

I must mention my only complaint in regards to their shadow referencing, em number?! who's going to remember them all by hear, the description (i.e. pearl, matte) makes sense, however, I cannot get over the number, but sure I'll get used to it. :)





PALETTE 2 - Purples: 483 DS, 428 Pearl, 494 DS, 353 Matte, 453 Pearl

These are my Navy / Purples selection that I thought were very pretty and unusual to what other brands have come out with. Note the amazing looking purple with gold flecks..

Overall, I must admit that I am so impressed with this brand so far.. Their eyeshadows are of superior quality that are amazingly pigmented and last really well, do note that I under any shadow I use, I am applying an eyeshadow primer either by Too Faced or Urban Decay.
