Etherealle Eyeshadows (Jest, Wildflower, Snowdrop and Fresh Mint) and Blush (Sugar Plum)

My Etherealle samples of eyeshadows that I bought showed up today!

First off, I was really excited about these samples. They weren't that expensive, plus they were matte samples! (I'm sick of getting glitter in my eyes :/)

So below from the left is:
~Fresh Mint
~Snowdrop
~Jest
~Wildflower

Close up of  Jest and Wildflower. (Aren't they amazingly bold colors?)


 Look at what I did with them! =]



Here's the ever-so beautiful blush:
Sugar Plum

Now I don't know about you, but the first thing I thought of was that line from "Twas the Night Before Christmas" "...and visions of sugar plums danced in their heads..."


Look at this blush! It's subtle enough to not be to over the top but it's bold enough to accentuate the face.



Here are my other two eyeshadows:
~Fresh Mint
~Snowdrop


I did pictures on each eye, because I wanted to show you the best representation of each color, so I did them inverted on the other eye. =] 





Both eyes to show you the difference!


Both eyes, teal lips!



Hope you liked this post!
Until next time,
Peace,

P.S. If you are in love with these products like I am, you can get them on Etsy at http://www.etsy.com/shop/Etherealle.

Ellagee's Lucy in the Sky

In case you guys didn't know, Ellagee's polishes are amazing!
So when Ellagee had Lucy in the Sky on her Friday Sale, I had to jump on the chance to own it! :)
Just take a look at the following two pictures and try to tell me it's not amazing! I dare you!!


Silvery, holo-y goodness!!!


I want you to first see one full coat of it over bare nails....


... yeah. This is how this polish acts in one coat. I challenge you to find another silver holo that is this complete in one coat. This saves having to go over and paint another coat, which I find amazing!



I should explain before going any further. When I ordered this polish, I was so excited, so I actually messaged Laura, the lady behind Ellagee and said that I would have to put this over so many colors. She said "yay."
So this is for Laura.
I literally put Lucy in the Sky over 15 different polishes, so that you and I both could see how Lucy in the Sky changes the way the polish looks! :)

 It would take a long while to list all of the polishes used, so if anyone wants to know the polishes I have used, just message me and I will be more than happy to message you with all 15 of them or a specific one!



See? It changes the look of the color, but still maintains the individual color underneath.



With this polish, you do have to do a thin coat of polish so that it will make the polish transparent enough to see the color underneath.



Wasn't that beautiful? I just hope that I took pictures that showed off this polish to the best that it could be.

As I said earlier, if you want to know any of the polishes that I used today, just message me on my page at www.facebook.com/GoPolishYourself

Oh I almost forgot Ellagee's polishes can be bought on her site here: www.ellagee.com

Until next time PoYos,
Peace

Review: Kinky Pink and Judas by Prinsess Makeup

Disclaimer: I won these from a Prinsess Makeup contest. I wanted to review them so that I could show you guys what I won and I was not obligated to review them.


Now that the legal-eeze is over,
On to the pretties!!

I won two clamshell samples of their lipsticks. There is Kinky Pink, which is Barbie (R) pink and Judas, which is a dark aqua color. If I am being honest, neither were colors that I would think of wearing, but once I tried them, I changed my tune.


I wanted to show you guys the lip sticks against my skin tone. For whatever reason, the camera showed my skin tone way darker than it is in real life; however, the lip sticks were pretty much true to real color. Aren't they beautiful? 

Let's first start off with Judas!
As I said earlier, it was not a color that I would have tried by myself, but it started to grow on me the more I used it! :)


It's a really beautiful teal color that has a darkness to it!


It's amazing; I only hope I did it justice! :)



Now let's move on to Kinky Pink!
Like I said before, it really is a Barbie-ish pink!
It's for the inner girly-girl in all of us :)


It's such a HOT pink!


I wanted to show you guys the full extent of my eyeshadow and the lipstick :)


My glamour shot haha!

Glitter, Glitter Who's Got Glitter?

I have heard some of your suggestions and the one I wanted to try first was a comparison post. For me, the most of one type of color that I had was glitters in blues and greens.
This is why this post is called......


First off, I wanted to show you all of the polishes that I used in order.

I used Butter London Scallywag....

L.A Colors Aqua Crystals...

L.A. Colors Treasure Island...

Pure Ice Party of Five...

and Daring Digits The Lake.

I took three pictures to show the differences between the polishes. They are in the same order as the pictures I showed above. (Butter London, L.A. Colors, L.A. Colors, Pure Ice and Daring Digits.



If I am being honest, my favorite two were from the teal three, I would have to say it was a tie between Daring Digits and the L.A. Colors. The Daring Digits polish has an amazing glitter that glittered with rainbow colors, whereas the L.A. Colors was more of an overall coverage.
My favorite polish of the blue two was Butter London. Although it's nine dollars compared to L.A. Colors at most three dollars, it does have a far more superior all over coverage and photographs beautifully.

Hope you liked this post! If you have any ideas for new posts, feel free to PM my page or leave me a message in the comments below!

Review of Pretty and Polished Sweet Mint Bath Bomb and I'm Wonka for Willy Nail Polish

First off, this is a review post!
I love doing review posts because:
1) It lets me show you guys new things, such as nail polish and bath bombs in this case,
 and 2) It makes me feel special that people want my opinion :)

So without further ado, here is my review post of some Pretty and Polished products. (By the way, I will be linking to the where you can buy Sweet Mint Bath Bomb and the I'm Wonka for Willy Nail Polish at the bottom).

I recieved this blogger sample in the mail.
First off, I love love LOVE minis so I was super thrilled to get this package in the mail!

Let's start off with the bath bomb. The sweet mint scent is amazing, although I did get more of a citrus-y vibe from it. Nevertheless, the scent would make anyone want to take baths, rather than showers more often. If I could, I would bottle the fragrance and wear it everywhere!! In addition, it made a big difference on my skin.





See below!
So below are pictures of before and after my hands after using the bath bombs on my hands.
Do you see the difference between the two photos? I saw a pretty big difference between before and after.
It made my skin feel smooth and super soft!
Now we should move onto the nail polish!
This is I'm Wonka for Willy! I swear this is one muy caliente polish! (Not just because it is color-changing)
Yes you heard it! Color-changing!!

So I am going to give you what it looks like as is in the bottle.
To the left is the bottle shot. 
I just want you guys to see how beautiful this polish is.  







To the right is a macro shot of the bottle.
I did this so that you guys could see the purple glitters in the polish that isn't so evident in the bottle shot picture.
It's such a beautiful polish~ I just hope I do it justice!






So the polish is colder in the bottle than it is on my nails, so that's why it comes out this beautiful sage green color.
Here's two coats with no top coat.
I just loved the way it came out, so I didn't even bother!


Here's the same mani with a matte top coat! It makes it great! It makes the glitter pop more I think.

So I wanted to show you guys the color changing nature of this polish, so here you go!



I did promise you above that I would link you to these amazing products, so here they are:
