As the weather is getting chilly, at least here in Lithuania, my skin has been getting more and more dry. The wind is seriously hurting my face nowadays, which leads to it needing more nourishing with both skincare and makeup. Dry skin also means that face is not as glowy and healthy as it should be. That's where this Catrice beauty steps in! I've bought it a long long time ago and have used it for a few times before but haven't really noticed a difference until recently when I applied it on my friend while doing her makeup.

Nails of the Day | Catrice 'Dirty Berry'

 hello! sorry for taking a huge break from blogging once again. I didn't even mean to, my blogger's block just kept dragging on and I kept coming up with reasons for me not to blog. I feel like I've neglected it but I'll try my best to get back. I even made a blogging schedule weeks ago but school work and my job kept me off it.

on the brighter note, I wanted to share with you all this little gem I bought recently! I saw this polish searching in the Catrice sale box and knew I had to have it. I've been wanting a good holographic polish since last winter when they hit the stores and were really popular!

Catrice 'Dirty Berry' is a grey toned lilac holographic nail polish. it leans more towards the dark side and in my opinion is perfect for autumn/winter (which is coming to an end!) but for me, the holographic aspect is also appropriate in the spring, because once the sun hits it it becomes the most gorgeous lilac full of multi-colored tiny teeny glitter particles. (it kind of shows in the pictures above).
what attracts me the most to this polish is the fact that it looks super festive and glittery but is not hard to take off! one of the reasons I hate putting glitter polishes is because they are a pain to get off but with this - it's not a problem at all!
as with all Catrice polishes, this lasts for about 3-4 days on my nails with a top-coat. it's not impressive but they have great selection of colors and types of polishes so I don't really mind. I have a few I bought on sales and they were up to 80% off which I love, because I'm all about saving money :)
the brush on their polish is huge and covers the whole nail really well. I can get away with one coat of this but I like to add one more for longer wear time.

I wore this polish on New Years Eve this year and loved it, it just screams party for me! if you fancy holographic polishes I would highly suggest you picking this up, I promise you'll love it as much as I do :)

have you tried any of Catrice's nail polishes?

Catrice 'Made To Stay' Longlasting Eyeshadow in Lord of the Blings | Review & Swatches

 hello! another little review coming your way ;) I bought this cream shadow pot a little while (mentioned it in my haul here) and ago and had a few weeks (or a month) to test it out and be able to let you know!

catrice 'made to stay' cream eyeshadow in lord of the blings is said to be "Elegant, shiny metallic cream eyeshadow that are long-lasting and convincing. Easy to apply, the intensively pigmented texture seems to melt on your eyelid without settling in the crease or smudging. All day and all night long." In my opinion, it does live up to the claims. It is very pigmented, and a little goes a long way. it can be  a bit hard at times and if I pick up a little too much it's hard to blend out evenly. I prefer using a brush because the pot is narrow and my nails get into the product.

I would recommend definitely putting a primer under because even though it claims to be crease-proof it really isn't. I skipped a primer one time and it creased in about 2 hours. while wearing a primer it can stay up to all day with no creasing or smudging.

this champagne cream shadow also looks great as a base for similar eyeshadow because of all the 'bling' it really makes it pop. I would recommend this especially to blue eyed gals as myself because it makes them pop like no other! I received a ton of compliments on my eyes while wearing it.

overall, I love them. I really want to get my hands on more colors, they are cheaper than maybelline color tattoos and great alternatives :) the pot is high quality with secure lid and the product is not prone to drying up. if you can get your hands on these, I would highly recommend you checking them out!

nails of the day #3 | catrice 'london's weather forecast'

hello lovelies! hope you are having a great week so far, I can't believe how time is flying by, it's only a week left before my last school year! today I wanted to share this quick nail art thing I've done out of pure boredom. I wanted to spice up my nails just a bit and came up with this polka-dotted nail design. also, not a long while ago I purchased three Catrice nail polishes that I believe were discontinued because they were so cheap I even asked the sales assistant if there was something wrong with them! they are all autumn shades and no-one was buying them in the summer except me. I thought it would be perfect for upcoming fall.

Catrice 'london's weather forecast' is a gorgeous grey polish with slight blue tint to it. it is perfect for fall because of the rain and all, also it's a color that is really easy to spice up with brighter colors and make a transition color out of it, that's what I decided to do. since it's still summer here I didn't want to go with full on grey on my nails, so I decided that pink and black would compliment it very well and in my opinion, it did!
grey and pink were always my combo, I think it looks so chic and put together but also great staple coloring. they are not too out-there but not too blank either. I got so many compliments while wearing this, I was amazed!
the only downside to this polish, and I believe that's why it's so cheap, it chipped in a day. it also might be the fact that I only put one coat of this because I was too lazy for it to dry. I haven't tried any polishes from the permanent line but I'm dying to try 'pimp my shrimp' next, it's a gorgeous coral color!
I can't wait to do NOTD posts for other two colors I've picked up, it's a green and dark blue color.

have you tried any catrice nail polishes? what are your fave nail polishes?
