Nail Of The Day

This is my first NOTD post as I must admit I don't really take the time out to do my nails everyday.
I will admit I'm lazy when it comes to nail art.

It was sunny for once in this dreary country today, well at least in the morning, so i decided I would need a lovely Spring nail polish to add to the day!
I decided to go with a Kiko nail polish No. 387 Turquoise. I absolutely feel in love with this colour when I saw it on the shelves on the Kiko store in Malaga.

Its a powerful, pastel colour that screams fresh and Spring to me! It was so purse friendly as well at only €3 I think in the shop however they can also be purchased online for £3.90.

(I have the hands of a 90 year old)


Ok so although I have such a love for this colour and this brand there are a few quams I have to pick with this nail polish.

1. It needs two coats. Not impressive with one coat as it looks almost translucent.

2. Unfortunately, It chips easily. As you can see my thumb in the picture is already chipped. So it does not last for the longest amount of time. As I mentioned before I am lazy with my nails so I am the girl who leaves chipped polish on for yonks!!


As I am not a huge nail buff, this product suits me fine as it is very affordable and offers a beautiful burst of colour.
And they ship to Ireland which is always a plus!

Why not make up your own mind. Take a look at all the Kiko products on their website http://www.kikocosmetics.com/eshop/guest


What do you think? Have you tried Kiko nail polishes before? How did you find them?

Lack of Internet Connection makes Silver a Sad Puppy!

Hello my pretties!

It has been far too long since I have written a post up here which is partly due to having no internet connection at my house and also college assignments and upcoming exams. I was meant to pop this post up sooner but unfortunately life got in the way!

As you all know I was sickly jealous of my best friend's Inglot palette, mentioned in the post http://feedmesilver.blogspot.com/2012/02/inglot-palette.html

So I received my tasty payslip at the end of March and decided feck it!
I splurged on my very own Inglot pallette!
I have been dying to get one and at €55 for ten shadows you can't really go wrong. I decided to go for a lot of matte, colourful shades as I seem to lack specific colours when trying out new looks.

I also decided to go with a shimmery brown as this is one of those in between shades I seem to lack also. While it is shimmery that does not take over the whole shadow and I find it is also handy when lining your eye brows.

It is hard to say but my favourite colour is possibly the green, although I fancy the turquoise a bit too. I have to say they all tickle my heart a little!

I find the standard of the Inglot eye shadows to be higher than many other make up brands out there. The only bone i have to pick with my particular choices is, I find that the lavender purple shade is not as pigmented as I would have hoped it to be. I find I have to keep piling it on whereas the others simply glide from my brush to the eye.

Other than that I am delighted with my purchase.

Have you thought about investing in some Inglot eye shadows? What colours?

OCC Lip Tar

Hi all!

I’m really excited by the new products I have received in the post this week 
I ordered OCC Lip Tars last week from the site Love-Makeup and I received them very promptly on Monday morning.
I said I’d give them a go before I gave my two cents about them!

They came in little tubes which are 8 ml each and at first you may think wow really I paid for so many dollas for these… However, when you apply I mean the tiniest little bit to your lip you will notice how incredibly pigmented the OCC lip tars really are. The colours I bought were Harlot (red), Tarred (black) and Anime (pink).

I've added a few (bad) pictures I took as I was running out the door.

I am ecstatic with these products!
1. They are sooooooo pigmented it’s like a dye on your lips
2. They are long wear. I attached my hand after I swatched the lip tars and still they wouldn’t come off.
3. Not too bad price wise. I think they are £8.99 on the website.
4. The lip gloss dries to your lips to give a satin soft look. Instead of dry ad cracked look.

The one thing I will say is DO NOT use too much I made this mistake by accident on Monday and my lips bled a little.
Less is more with lip tars.


Also I would like to point out that I received excellent service from the lovely people from Love-Makeup I will definitely be a returning customer!


Great product!
If you would like to try any of them out check out www.love-makeup.co.uk

What do you think? Has anyone tried them?

Lets make a change!

Lipstick Alert!

I paid a visit to a lovely little shop named Cosmetique today!

This gem of a shop sells good quality make up at discounted prices and is located in the Georges St Arcade.

I decided to have a gander to look for my foundation in there and unfortunately they didn't have my shade. However, my trip was not a complete waste as I came across the lipstick shelf :)

I looked at a few trends from London Fashion Week and noticed that the natural, light, neutral look matched with a strong brow seemed to be present in a lot of the designer looks.

I introduce you to Calvin Klein shade #123 Henna.

I was going to put up a picture my lips are not at their best at the moment! I have tested out this lipstick and there are a few pros and cons.

Pros:
Beautiful nude pink colour
Creamy
Slight pearly sheen
Blends well with my lip liner

Cons
Not for long wear one would have to keep applying

I would give this lipstick a 6/10
I think while I love its formulation and texture, the lack of longevity of the lipstick would probably irritate me.


Great little buy though as it was only €6.99! You can't really go wrong can you!

Seriously check out this little shop!!

P.S. The lady behind the counter, i'm just going to assume she was the manager, told my friend and I that the shop would be moving to the Ilac centre on Henry St in around a month!

Natural Pink Lip using Kiko

Another great brand out there is Kiko.

Kiko is a beautiful, Italian brand which produces cheap, affordable products. However the price of these make up products does not mean Kiko compromise the quality of their make up.

Today, I used my Inglot lip liner to line my lips. This liner is a soft pink which can subtly line to the lips without being too harsh. I lined the outside of the lips and slightly lined the corners of the mouth. Then, I used a Kiko lip gloss, which I think is in the shade Guava Pink.

As you can see this light pink shade blends in perfectly with the Inglot lip liner. This gives a beautiful natural pink lip which one can wear for a daytime look.

I absolutely love Kiko products. They last for ever and they do not hurt the bank balance either. I have tried eye shadows, primers, lip glosses, eye liners and a mascara. I have not been let down by a single product.

Do you guys like the natural pink lip?
