Swatches & Review New P2 Eye Shadows & Nail polish

Hello everyone,

John went to the mall with me today to buy more X-Box Games. Meanwhile I stopped by the local DM and realized... They have the new P2 eye shadows and nailpolishes!!! I took along a few and here are some swatches!


P2 Brilliant Shine Eye Cream Cheeky Copper, P2 Brilliant Shine Eye Cream  Bombastic Blue, P2 Cosmic Dream Eye Shadow Dreamy Venus (picture below from left to right)

Brilliant Shine Eye Cream: Don´t let the name fool you. it is not that creamy at all (thank goodness! No smearing and getting to places it is not supposed to go.). It is very smudgeproof, intensive colors and water resistant. I already want MORE!

Cosmic Dream Eye Shadow: The colors are not as intense as the eye cream, but Iam confident in them.Will have to test them with an eyemake up. The colours are pretty, a glittery highlighter and a mauve and complimenting choclatish color. Can´t wait to play with it.


P2 Last Forever Nail Polish Secret Charm: Not too impressed. I needed to put maaaany layers on my nails to make it less stripe-y. Originally I considered it as nail-polish to use for shootings when Iam not doing something pin up-y because for pin up off course red polish is a must. With the 10.000.000 layers on it it looks far from natural though and I do not like this one.

Manhattan New York Royalz Limited Edition Swatches

Hello everyone,

is it obvious that Iam sick and have to stay in bed today? :-) Besides the new Alverde Eye Shadows I snapped the Professional Smokey Eyes Kit in Gorgeous Night Blue by Manhattan New York Royalz Limited Edition and swatched it. Still no Make up pics - those will follow in the coming days.

ist es offensichtlich das ich krank bin und jetzt im Bett bleiben muss? :-) Ausser den neues Alverde Ldschatten habe ich mir heute auch das Professional Smokey Eyes Kit in Gorgeous Night Blue aus der Manhattan New York Royalz Limited Edition gekrallt und geswatched, Noch keine Make up Bilder, die kommen in den nächsten Tagen...

Kit...
With light (no base)
Mit Licht (ohne Base)

Without Light (no base)
Ohne Licht (keine Base)

The white one doesn´t thrill me, but maybe it will look more visible with an eye base, the other colours look fantastic. The matte turqouise really pops, the dark blue is a little greyish with a little shine and the grey... well, is a shiny grey :-) Can´t wait to try!

Der weisse haut mich nicht vom Hocker, aber vielleicht sieht er mit einer Eye Base nach mehr aus, das matte Türkis knallt richtig rein, das Blau geht ein bisschen ins graue und schimmert ein wenig und das Grau ist... Grau und schimmert schön :-) Kann es kaum erwarten die Farben zu testen!

New Alverde Eyeshadow swatches

Hello everyone,

today we had Hansefest in Neuss so for a change the stores were open on a Sunday. And so was DM, I went in and found.... the new alverde products. (YAYAYAY). I´m too sick to do an make up with them, or let´s say I look horribly sick, so an actual make up will follow in the coming days...

heute war Hansefest in Neuss und Verkaufsoffener Sonntag. Der DM war auch offen und was erblicken meine Äuglein? die neuen Alverde Produkte (JUHU!). Ich bin aktuell zu krank um mich zu schminken, oder sagen wir lieber ich sehe zu entsetzlich aus um davon ein Foto zu machen, also werde ich erst in den kommenden Tagen ein Probemake up posten...


Golden Turqouis Quattro, Magic Blue, Dark Aubergine
With light (no base used)
Mit Licht (ohne Base)

Without Light (still no base)
Ohne Licht (und immernoch ohne Base)

Looks pretty good! Aubergine is matte, Blue is a little shiny, though not as much as I thought it would be, light cream colour will be a good alrounder, turqouise has indeed a golden shimmer and will be great with 50s/60s inspired make up, brown is beautiful and bronze-y so good for every day and black is rather matte and will go well with the blue.

Sieht ziemlich gut aus. Aubergine ist matt, Blue shimmert ein bisschen aber nicht so sehr wie ich dachte, die helle Creme Farbe ist gut für so ziemlich alles, das türkis hat einen goldenen Schimmer und wird toll für ein 50er/60er inspiriertes Make up sein, das braun ist ein toller Bronzeton für jeden Tag und das Schwarz ist ziemlich matt und sollte super mit dem blauen funktionieren.
