Nail Polish of the Day - P2 - 541 night out


 Today's nail polish of the day is sponsored by P2, a german drugstore brand that I really love. The polishes are super pigmented, easy to apply and come in so many beautiful shades.

541 Night out is a very pretty greyish dark blue. 

Here is a pictures of it with flash, but the actual colour is more like the one in the second picture (no flash)

Sleek - The Berry Collection - Christmas Collection


A few days ago I gave in to the tempation (after reading a lot about it) and got myself the Sleek - The Berry Collection palette. It has a nice packaging, very Christmassy. I just wish Superdrug wouldn't place their barcode-don't-steal-me-sticker on it that obvious. Not very clever for something that would make a perfect Christmas gift.

The products you get are (left to right):


A matte Lipstick in the Colour Cranberry, a Blush in the colour Fenberry and a Kohl Pencil in the colour Mossberry.

Here are some swatches:

I really like the Kohl Pencil. Such a beautiful berry colour. The lipstick is very pretty too, perfect for the holidays and the colour is to die for. I also like the fact that the lipstick has a matte finish (although you can't really tell due to the flash making it look shiny). The only thing I'm a little dissapointed with is the blush. Don't get me wrong, I like the colour and the payoff, I just expected something more in the same colour range (berry-ish) as the other products. I think they should have included something less red-brown-ish and more red-purple-ish... if you know what I mean.

But I think it's a nice collection and def a bargain for what you get.
