More nail polishes

Hello everyone,
Just a quick note - I felt a bit down recently and I thought I needed a new project to work on (preferably something pleasant and relaxing). I've started a new blog just for nail polishes (I like them too much, I have too many of them and I  started to recognise colours and brands  on people's nail in the streets, it was high time really)...

Feel free to go and check my Whale's Nails! :)
Tomorrow I'll be posting new bracelets here, hopefully...

See you!

Bobbi Brown Metallic Long-Wear Eye Kit

Hello,
A little make up review...I just got it yesterday so I cannot be very precise yet.
Obviously, I really really like this set, it's a great value for money, I believe. The kit comes with  a gel eyeliner in Black Ink 1, cream eyeshadow Mercury, Cleansing oil and a duel-ended brush. I got it at House of Fraser, I think it's also available in their official online store.

Here's the photo of the box.

I'll focus on the eyeshadow, as everyone raves about Bobbi Brown's gel eyeliners anyway.
One could think that Mercury is a regular silver colour, but it's not really the case.
It's a very sheer colour with a lot of glitter. The colour is a quite strange (unusual) too, it's a bit of beige silver with pinkish and bluish sparkles...

I put two layers in this swatch, then I wanted to smudge it a little to show you also the sparkles - but it did not want to move at all, it just stayed intact. Interesting!

I applied it onto my eyelid too, but I haven't thought it over really, so I have no any other make on my eye, so forgive it for loooking so creepy. It's only one layer, very sheer as you can see...I really like it that it's so light, will work great for the summer. I can also imagine it to look lovely on some darker eyeshadows. Overall, I like this product, it's something different and easy to wear.


As for Cleansing oil, I haven't used it yet, and honestly, I don't think I will anytime soon - I have many similar products opened, so it's wiser to wait a little and keep it unopened.


See you soon,
