NAILS OF THE DAY: L'OREAL PARIS COLOR RICHE LE VERNIS NAIL POLISH IN CLICHE MANIA

It's been a while since I have painted my nails and boy does it feel good to sit down and play around with nail polish again. I love painting my nails, it's just something about it that I find very relaxing and therapeutic. Is that just me or do you feel the same way?

The color that I'm wearing on my nails today is called Cliche Mania and it's by the brand L'Oreal Paris. I received Cliche Mania in my July GLOSSYBOX, which was a collaboration between GLOSSYBOX and L'Oreal Paris. It's such a gorgeous purple that is a little on the darker side. I really like the formula and the pigmentation of these Color Riche Le Vernis nail polishes from L'Oreal Paris. They are so creamy and so easy to apply and they are almost always opaque in just two coats.

Autumn is right around the corner and Cliche Mania is the perfect nail color to go along with it. It's such a stunning purple that I know I will be reaching for a lot this season. I used the Formula X for Sephora Base Coat and Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat to complete this look.

EBAY BEAUTY HAUL: NARS, SLEEK MAKEUP, OPI, FORMULA X FOR SEPHORA, CLINIQUE & SENSATIONAIL

Hey Everyone :-)
How are you doing today? How is your day going so far? Today's post is going to be a little eBay beauty haul. As I mentioned in my Cherry Culture beauty haul, Simon and I recently had our 6 year anniversary. He surprised me with a little money treat, which I could use on whatever I wanted. I placed an order on Cherry Culture (you can check out my haul post HERE), and I also picked up a few goodies from eBay as well! :-) 

♥ NARS Ita Kabuki Brush. 

I picked up the NARS Ita Kabuki Brush, which I'm super excited about trying out. I have heard so many wonderful things about this brush, and I can't wait to finally test it out. I'm not sure if it's authentic or fake, but the people who bought and left their feedback on it said that it was an authentic brush. It was only AU $15.99 (92NOK), which I think is a good deal. Authentic or not, I know I will get some good use out off it! :-)

 ♥ OPI No Spain No Gain & OPI Lincoln Park At Midnight.

 I also picked up two new nail polishes from OPI, No Spain No Gain and Lincoln Park At Midnight. Both shades look beautiful, and I'm looking forward to trying them out. Let me know if you would me to feature one off these shades in an upcoming ''Swatch Of The Week'' post! :-)

I also picked up the Formula X For Sephora nail polishes in Thrilling and Bionic. These nail polishes have been getting a lot off love lately. They have a really good selection off shades and finishes to choose from, I already have my eye on a bunch off shades from their nail polish range. I swatched Thrilling in one off my recent ''Swatch Of The Week'' posts, which you can check out HERE! :-)

The seller also included the shade Rocket Fuel as a little treat, which I thought was a really sweet thing to do. You can check out the seller HERE! :-)

 I picked up two blushes from Sleek MakeUp, which happens to be my very first blushes from this brand. I have heard so many wonderful things about them, so I figured I needed to try them out. I ordered these from Cloud 10 Beauty, along with the Ciate Mini Mani Month Advent Calendar. I'm really looking forward to trying these out, they do look quite beautiful in their little packaging! :-)

♥ Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara & Lash Doubling Mascara. 

After hearing wonderful things about the Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara, I decided to order one and try it out for myself. I have played around with it a few times already, and so far I really like it. The eBay seller (link to the seller HERE) also included a sample off the Clinique Lash Doubling Mascara, which I thought was a really nice gesture. Looking forward to trying out that one as well!

♥ SensatioNail Color Gel Polishes French Manicure in Sheer Pink & Sugar Plum. 

The last two items that I picked up are the two SensatioNail Color Gel Polishes in Sugar Plum and French Manicure in Sheer Pink (also called Babydoll Pink). I have been wanting to try out their french manicure for a while now, excited to finally give it a go. I think I'm going to try it out for Christmas, haven't worn a french manicure in years! :-)

Have you bought any new beauty products lately? Have you tried out any off the items that I picked up? :-) Love, Christine♥

SWATCH OF THE WEEK VOL.2: FORMULA X FOR SEPHORA IN THRILLING

Hey Everyone :-)
Happy Monday! How are you doing today? How was your weekend? I have a brand new ''Swatch Of The Week'' post to share with you guys today. This post is going to be all about Thrilling, which is part off the Formula X for Sephora nail polish range.

The Formula X nail polishes are only available at Sephora stores and on their website. I was lucky enough to get my hands on a few off the shades that I really wanted on eBay. There are still a bunch off shades available if you are interested, HERE is the link to the seller I used. If you don't like to use eBay, you can also use a mail forwarding website to get products shipped to you from Sephora. I've used one called Shipito before and it works great! The delivery time is good and the shipping cost isn't too expensive either! :-)

 ♥ Swatch: Formula X for Sephora in Thrilling. 

Thrilling is a beautiful cloud grey nail polish, which is part of their new neutrals collection. It's very creamy and easy to apply. The consistency is nice and thick, and it's got a glossy and pretty finish. It dries rather quickly and it's nice and opaque in two coats. It's such a beautiful color, and a great everyday shade. If you are into neutral nail polishes, I think you would love this one a lot! :-)

 ♥ Swatch: Formula X for Sephora in Thrilling.

 One off the things that I really like about the Formula X for Sephora nail polish range, is that there are so many different shades and finishes to choose from. I definitely want to add some more shades to my collection. I'm dying to try out a few off their glitter polishes, they look so pretty. I already have Bionic in my collection, which I will be swatching for you guys very soon! :-)

What do you think about Thrilling? Have you tried out the Formula X for Sephora nail polishes? Do you have a favorite? :-) Love, Christine♥
