Mac's A Tartan Tale

First I thought it is just incredible bad timing, but more and more I'm sure Mac is intentionally trying to screw me..

First they release a Disney collection, a collection I was looking forward to for years and don't even have the mercy to give a pro discount and now they release a Holiday collection that screams Scotland from every item. Of course no discount on Holiday collections.. Not that I'm already broke for the rest of the year..

But I mean look at that:

AND I so need this bear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's like the coolest thing ever..

Have you a wishlist for this collection??

Love,

Sparkling Orange

I am a very boring person and I'm totally fine with that. *g* So when I was invited to a party last week I was a bit clueless what to wear, but as soon as I heard the "theme" - the brighter the better - I was home and since 95% of my clothes are black I knew the focus would be on the make up. :-)

I had Spellbound from China Glaze on my fingers and decided to match the make up to it:

And that's what I ended up with:

aaand I also wore my favorite earrings - Devil Duckies!!!

It wasn't a majorly creative or artfully done look, it was just fun.

Hope you like it.

China Glaze vs. MNY

Another polish that apparently has a brother.. *gg*

China Glaze's Wagon Trail and MNY's 306A look quite alike..

..but when you take a closer look you can see differences

On the left side is China Glaze and on the right MNY. One can clearly see that China Glaze's gold is much more interwoven and part of the colour, while MNY has "larger" golden particles. Both of them are gorgeous.

What do you prefer?

MNY I'm a jungle chick collection

I went to the Vet last week to get our dogs medicine and couldn't resist going into a DM (local drugstore).

There I found the just set up MNY limited edition I'm a jungle chick. I ended up buying these items:

The Essence items don't belong there, I know. *gg*

Let's start with the duo eyeliners:

From top row to bottom row:

309A, 311A, 310A

I was surprised by the softness, I really like them :-)

305A

a nice and wearable shade!

303A

And naturally the swatches:

Gorgeous nail varnish as well:

I really like this collection, I skipped the eyeshadows, cause I don't need any, but I am a huuuge fan of their nail polishes! The brush is just so gorgeous, I love it!

What I absolutely dislike is the neglect of product names.. Why those numbers?? I'm not buying supplies for a chemistry lab..

Did you get yourself something?

Looks quite promising, doesn't it?

Are you interested in any of those? I am most excited about Party Hearty and Mrs. Claus I think, but as always promo pics aren't the best way to judge a product.

Hope you liked that

Orly vs. Essence

I bought the gorgeous Orly Halleys Comet some weeks ago as you might know and three days ago I saw an uneblievably similar polish by Essence named choose me!:

Wicked right??

But let's take a closer look:

left: Orly, right: Essence

When you look closer you see there is much more depth in Orlys than in Essences polish. I even applied two more coats on the finger with the Essence polish, trying to find out if that would make any difference, but no.

Nevertheless, those twos are super-similar.. Like brothers *g* Essence's choose me! is lighter and has more golden and green particles in it. Orly's Halleys Comet is finer and has an more interesting overall effect in my opinion. I am prefering this one, but there is still a wide gap when it comes to price. Orly costs 12€, while Essence not even 2€.

Own these? What is your opinion?

My poor baby and Body Shop's Vitamin C skin care range

I'm exhausted... I spent my sunday morning in a pet clinic holding my dog while the vets removed a torn claw which was bleeding like crazy.

I think he knows that we all want him to feel better, but I wish I could explain it to him.

Anyways, I wanted to post the Vitamin C products of which I talked about in my last video, here they are:

The Duo Eye Reviver

The left side is for you lid and the ball on the right is for the under-eye area to refresh an nutrish this delicate area

The gorgeous Capsules - a serum treatment for 28 days

The refreshing Face Spritz

The new and awesome Daily Moisturiser SPF30 with UVA/UVB protection

The half-jewels Microdermabrasion peeling

Skin Boost - an intense, literally skin boosting, serum

The Cleansing Face Polish - makes your skin squeaky clean

Powder Mix - the intense 10 day treatment

That's how it looks like:

You press the white cap down once, then the powder falls down and is ten days active, you remove the white cap and screw the orange cap on and use it with that.

And this is how the products look like:

From left to right:

Skin Boost, Microdermabrasion, Capsules, Daily Moisturiser, Cleansing Face Polish

Close Ups:

Skin Boost, Microdermabrasion, Capsules

Daily Moisturiser, Cleansing Face Polish

If you wanna know more about them, just watch my video, here's the link again: :-)
