COLLECTIVE BEAUTY HAUL: THE BODY SHOP, MAC COSMETICS, MAYBELLINE, LUSH COSMETICS, PRADA, L'OREAL PARIS, ZOELLA BEAUTY & MORE

Today's blog post is going to be a collective haul post! A couple of weeks ago, Simon and I went on a little vacation trip to Sweden. We met up with his sister and a bunch of friends in Piteå, then we drove to Skellefteå for a few days of shopping and some fun in the sun.

I ended up picking up quite a few beauty items on our Sweden trip, which I'm excited to share with you guys in today's blog post. I also ordered a couple of items online a while back, which I haven't done a post about yet. So I thought that I would include them in this post, since I'm planning on doing reviews on a couple of the items! :-)

I have been wanting to do this post for a while now, so I'm glad that it's finally up and running. As always, be sure to let me know if there are any products here that you would like me to do a review on. I'm already planning on doing a review on the Maybelline The Nudes Eyeshadow Palette as well as the Soar lip liner and Brave lipstick from MAC Cosmetics. But I still want to know what you guys are interested in seeing a review on, because I love getting feedback from you. You guys are the best and I love you all so much! :-)

PRODUCT OF THE WEEK VOL.1: ISADORA PEEL OFF BASE

Today, I'm starting a new blog series called ''Product Of The Week''. In these weekly posts, I will be sharing a product that I have been loving a lot during that week. I will be posting my thoughts on the product and sharing some swatches with you guys as well.

The lovely Cliona from Cliona Hill inspired me do start doing these weekly posts, so thanks a lot girl. I really like this idea and I'm so excited to start sharing some of my favorite products with you guys. So let's take a look at the product that I'm loving this week, it's a good one! :-) 

♥ IsaDora Peel Off Base, HERE. 

Let me introduce you to the IsaDora Peel Off Base. It's is a base coat that is easy to pull off. It's has a water based and solvent free formula, which creates a protective layer between the nail surface and the nail color. It protects and preserves the moisture balance of the nails. It doesn't remove the lipid film of the nails and it doesn't leaving them feeling dry afterwards either.

The IsaDora Peel Off Base works well with all kinds of nail polishes, not only glitters. It's very easy to use. You start by applying it all over your nails as a base coat, then you have to wait for it to dry before applying a nail polish on top of it. It usually takes about 5 minutes for it to dry. When it has dried, it will look transparent on the nails. Then you can go ahead and apply your favorite nail polish. When you want to remove it, you just peel it off starting from the base of your nails. Super easy! :-)

I have always been a huge fan of glitter nail polishes, but we all know how difficult they can be to remove. It's the reason why I don't wear them that often. I do use the foil method every once in a while whenever I'm wearing glitter on my nails. The foil method works great, but it takes a while to wrap up each nail in foil, wait for the nail polish remover to fully soak in and do it's magic and removed the foil from each finger.

 The IsaDora Peel Off Base makes removing glitter nail polishes so much faster and easier. I will definitely be wearing glitter nail polishes more often from now on. In fact, I have a manicure in mind that I really want to try out. So keep your peepers open, because I might do a post on it very soon! :-)

IsaDora Wonder Nail in Metropolitan: Review, Photos & Swatches

 ♥ IsaDora Wonder Nail in Metropolitan.

Hey Dolls :)
The Wonder Nail range from IsaDora, consists of gorgeous nail polishes that  are extra long lasting and quick drying. Each nail polish comes with an extra wide brush, which is going to cover your nail in one stroke, depending on the size of your nails of course.

Metropolitan is from the IsaDora's Paradox Autumn 2012 Makeup Collection. It is a dark brown nail polish with no shimmer. It was a little streaky on the first coat, but I didn't experience any streaking on the second coat. Metropolitan was fully opaque after just two coats :) 

  ♥ IsaDora Wonder Nail in Metropolitan.

I absolutely love the nail polish brush. The brush is extra wide, which I really like.  I know that wide nail polish brushes isn't something that everyone is going to enjoy, but I personally like it a lot. I think that thicker and wide brushes are easier to work with and I feel like they pick up more product as well. In the end, it all comes down to your personal preference :)

My Opinion:
Metropolitan is a beautiful nail polish, that is going to be so perfect now that Fall is right around the corner. Its been a while since I have worn a dark brown nail polish, so I'm definitely excited to rock this for Fall. I highly recommend that you check out IsaDora's Wonder Nail range. Most of their nail polishes are fully opaque in just two coats, which is pretty cool. They are also quick drying, which I absolutely love. I hate waiting around for my nail polish to dry, so that is definitely something I appreciate :)

I think that Femme Fatale is a gorgeous, deep red nail polish that is going to look so pretty for Fall. I highly recommend that you use a base coat before you apply Femme Fatale, because its a nail polish that is going to stain your nails.

IsaDora Trend Nails Spring/Summer Collection: Photos & Swatches

Hey Sweeties :)
I have three nail polishes from IsaDora's new Summer nail polish collection called Trend Nails to share with you guys tonight. Colorful and bright nails are a huge trend for this upcoming season and IsaDora's Trend Nails Collection consists off twelve gorgeous shades that are the perfect colors for Summer! To see pictures and swatches, just keep reading :)

♥ IsaDora Trend Nails in Bananas, South Beach & Pink Lemonade. 

 ♥ IsaDora Trend Nails in Bananas. 

 ♥ IsaDora Trend Nails in Bananas.

Bananas is a beautiful bright yellow nail polish with slight shimmer. Its streaky on the first coat, so I had to use three thick coats to make it opaque. I also found this color to be a little difficult to apply.

I only have three yellow nail polishes in my collection. Two off the colors are darker yellows and the third one is a pastel yellow, nothing compared to Bananas by IsaDora. Bananas is a really pretty bright yellow nail polish that is going to look so pretty for the Summer. I'm very excited to wear this when the Summer comes :)

 ♥ IsaDora Trend Nails in South Beach. 

 ♥ IsaDora Trend Nails in South Beach.

South Beach is a pretty orange nail polish with no shimmer. Like Bananas, South Beach was streaky on the first coat as well. But it went on more smoothly on the second coat and I found this color to be a lot easier to work with. I only needed two thick coats to make it opaque.

 ♥ IsaDora Trend Nails in Pink Lemonade.

♥ IsaDora Trend Nails in Pink Lemonade.

Pink Lemonade is a gorgeous pinky coral nail polish with no shimmer. This was definitely the easiest color to apply. It wasn't streaky at all and I only used two thick coats to make it look pretty and opaque. This color is going to look extra gorgeous in the Summer when you get a nice tan. This is my favorite color out off all three shades :)

IsaDora's nail polishes are quick drying which I really love. I hate waiting around for my nail polish to dry, who is with me? I like how colorful, fun and bright this collection is and if you want to make your nails extra fun, you can paint different colors on all off them :)
