UK swap! (Thank you Magpie Sparkles!)

My first UK swap! Emma, AKA "Magpie Sparkles" agreed to do a drugstore trade with me overseas! Yay! This is a list of the contents of my package.
*************************************

Divine Mineral Based Eye Palette in "Storm" (578)- Sleek Makeup
Mini Bourjois lipgloss in Au Menthol
The Little Pink Tin lip balm
MeMeMe Beat the Blues iredescent highlighter
BarryM lipstick #132
GOSH eyeliner in Bananas

This is the eyeshadow palette. It has really good neutrals, nothing too crazy. It has some matte colors and some sparkly ones. The colors are so soft and very nicely pigmented. I love this!

This is the Little Pink Tin lip balm, I am really liking the fact that this has SPF!

This is the Bananas eyeliner. OMG this color is very nice and very fresh looking for a lower lash line. I love this!

This is the mini Burjois lipgloss! It's so cute and it has a tiny loop of pink string so it can dangle from your cell phone or maybe even a key chain. =D

This is the BarryM lipstick. It's very smooth, the color is awesome. This picture doesn't do it justice. It looks like a rose/gold in the tube, and on the lips its metallic and almost bronzey. The finish is nice, kind of a satin. WOW !

This is a GREAT highlighter. The applicator is like a nail polish brush. The color is a peachy gold. This picture makes it look cool, it is not - its warm and when blended out, its a very nice gold. This looks like it would easily be an eyes/lips/face product - multi-taskers are the best.

"For Audrey"

This color is "For Audrey"- CHG.

It was sent to us from a friend on MakeUpAlley.com (SoPolished). Thank you!

It is SUCH a nice color, kind of a very pale teal or "Robin's Egg" color. These nails and toes are C's of MC Zhoozh.

This style was created with the base and top coat from the Sally Beauty Supply Haul in our first blog. Also a few colors from our stash that we already had at home.

Seche clear base coat

Seche clear top coat

For Audrey- CHG

White- Milani

Licorice- Esse

Seche clear base coat- allow to drie to almost a matte finish, very smooth foundation for the color you're using on your nail.

Two coats, maybe three, or the For Audrey- all to dry for about 4 or 5 minutes because when you do the flower design you don't want to drag the For Audrey with the Esse- "Licorice" when you make the flowers.

To make the flowers, use a toothpick. I cut the toothpick right in the middle to make a tiny circular kind of "stamp" to make the flowers. Dip that end into Licorice and "stamp" 5 cirlcles in the shape a the flower like I have shown. Fairly close together but be careful not to let them touch. Wait 60 seconds and then use the pointy end of the toothpick to drag from the center of each "petal" towars the middle of all the five circles you made. This will create a kind of 3-D look to the petals of your flower. For the middle use the other half of that toothpick that I cut and use the NON-pointy end to dip into any color you desire. Yellow, orange, purple, red... I used the Milani color "White".

Last, apply a coat of the quick dry Seche top coat and allow to dry for 10 or 15 minutes.

I used the same routine for the other hand and both feet. It came out so cute and I LOVE the For Audrey color. Thank you SO much "SoPolished"!! Today is Friday and I painted on Wednesday, SO! I will update this blog again soon to tell you ladies how the "chippage" is. =D
