This is the second nail of the day + review since the one I did back in March. It is when I do a review on a particular nail polish and show you how I coordinate it with another nail colour on my nails!
Essie 'Splash of Grenadine' is actually the only Essie nail polish I own and one of my friends has kindly gave me this for my birthday in September. This by far is the most gorgeous purple I've seen in the drugstore. It is not a typical pastel purple nor a dark or royal purple. It is hard to explain the actual colour but the best I can describe is that it's a pinky purple. Because of its unique stunning colour, I just cannot take my eyes off it.
Not only the colour is out of the world, its formula is definitely the best I've tried in the drugstore by far. The brush that it has makes the application so smooth and easy. You can certainly get away with one coat only due to its impressive pigmentation. You can get any Essie nail polish for £7.99 at Boots or Superdrug .
With this nail polish, I decided to pair it up with the Rimmel London Space Dust nail polish in 'Aurora' on my ring finger as an accent colour( read my previous review here). Both of these beautiful nail colours together just look absolitely incredible and chic. I think that this has to be the best nail combo I've ever made.
I've never been a blush kind of gal but as soon as I discovered how much blushers can change your life, my addiction began.
Maybe I over-exaggerated my love for blushers but they've truly been my holy-grail products for the past month or so! And the one that I've been truly obsessing over is the Estee Lauder All Over Face Deluxe Compact.
I've been using this compact almost every single day, it includes three powder blushes, one translucent powder and a small brush which probably you're not likely to use. Two of the blush colours are slightly shimmery and the other one offers you with a matte finish. They aren't the greatest pigmented blush colours but they definitely can create a beautiful wash of colour on your cheeks without it looking like you have a blob of pink paint on your cheek! It is certainly very suitable to use everyday for any occasion as it gives you a natural look but also allows you to build up. I just love it when blushers can brighten your complexion and adds an extra something something to your face!
The packaging looks very luxurious and it is convenient to carry around all day in your bag as well especially since it provides you with a decently-sized mirror inside.
'Petal' is a light pink colour with a slight sheen to it which will look very natural on your cheeks.
'Pink Kiss' is a coral colour that is slightly iridescent as well.
'Nude Rose' has been my favourite colour to wear for the past weeks and the reason for it is that for me, it kind of acts like a bronzer/blush at the same time! So I would always apply it a bit below the apples of my cheeks where the usual contour area is, and it just creates this beautiful look which faintly defines your complexion but also the colour itself is gorgeous for autumn/winter or even anytime of the year!
This translucent powder is great for setting your foundation or to control the shine on your face. Personally, I like to use it to set the concealer under my eyes.
I don't think that it's still available for you to buy from Estee Lauder as it came in a part of a set a couple of years ago. Nevertheless I have found a link to where you can buy this from on Ebay - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/361118886920?limghlpsr=true&hlpv=2&ops=true&viphx=1&hlpht=true&lpid=108&chn=ps&device=c&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0-L&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=108
