China Glaze Crackle Glaze

In case you missed the chance to get the OPI Black Shatter from the Katy Perry Collection which is completely sold out and the only way to get a hold to it is if you buy it from ebay. OPI polishes retail from $8-9 US dlls, people on ebay are selling them for $15, a total scam. Luckily China Glaze has released a new collection called Cracle Glaze which consists of 6 polishes in this crackle/shatter form.
I only have 5 of them, they were already sold out of Black Mesh.
The 6 Colors are
-Black Mesh (a cream black)
-Cracked Concrete (a cream grey)
-Lightening Bolt (white)
-Crushed Candy (Tiffany Blue)
-Broken Hearted (hot pink)
-Fault Line (frosty purple)

Here is a swatch of all the colors I have.

I have to mention that they all dry to a matte finish, but that is no problem, just apply a clear nail polish or a shiny top coat. As for the formula they are all kind of gooey, except for cracked concrete which was the easiest to apply. Everytime I wear these I these I get tons of complements from people. They look so much cooler when you wear them with contrasting colors.

Overall I think they are worth checking out, but they are not a holly grail item.

PS
In case you were wondering how different is crushed candy from For Audrey I have a photo with them side by side and they are identical.

The Falsies

I'm late jumping in to the Falsies bandwagon. I'm the type of person that if I find something I will keep buying it for ages, especially with mascaras. I've been trying a few mascaras, and about a month ago I stared using the falsies from Maybelline. The non-waterproof one.

I think the brush is very interesting, it has a spoon shape. The brush is pretty big.
So here are my lashes before and after.
I do like how it volumizes and separates my lashes, but I doesn't provide the length I like, it doesn't really curl my lashes, only a little bit, but after I while my lashes lose their curl. It is easy to take off, and does last a good time.

I would only recommend to those who like volumizing mascaras.

Psychedelic Sister

Hi guys!
I know I've been MIA lately, but if you watch the vlog on my youtube channel you'd know that I have a reason.

Anyways... I think that my addiction for nail polish kicked in ... yet again. That means a lot of swatches will be coming up!.

Here I have Urban Decay's Psychedelic Sister from their summer of love set.

I have to say that I love the gorgeous hot pink with orange/red undertones with a cream finish. Cream finishes have always been my favorite. I think Urban Decay put out really awesome colors, but they didn't nailed it with the formula. It is really bad, like $1 nail polish, it chipped on me in just 2 days even wearing Seche Vite.

I would not recommend spending $28 on this set.
