NOTD: Catrice Ultimate Nail Laquer 170 I Scream Peach

Today's NOTD is a beautiful peachy/coral, almost orange with a cream finish. It's 170 I Scream Peach by Catrice. Catrice is a brand which you can buy in drugstores in the Netherlands. It's one of my personal favourite drugstore brands. I love Catrice nail polishes, because their cheap, only €2.50 and they stay on 3-5 days and then they start chipping, but usually I've already changed my nail polish by then. I really love this colour, to me it doesn't scream peach but summer! Queen's Day is tomorrow! A Dutch national holiday and our national colour is orange so I thought this colour would be appropriate.

Do you own any Catrice nail polishes? Do you like them as much as I do? Any colours you recommend?

Beauty on a Budget: Miss Helen Eyeshadow Base (Hema)


Eyeshadow base, I can't live without one! They make your eyeshadows appear more vibrant and they make your eyeshadows stay on longer. A lot of brands sell eyeshadow bases but most of them are pretty expensive. Well I found a great one that is really cheap, it's only €3,25.


It comes in basic, simple looking packaging and it almost looks like a lipgloss, it also has a doe-foot applicator. The product itself looks white with a pearly finish. It stays on really well, I made this swatch and forgot to take it off and saw it before I went to bed and it was still on my arm. The only bad thing about this product is that you will never completely finish it if you leave in in the original packaging. Because of the doe-foot applicator you can't reach for all the product in tube so in the end you will have to cut it open. It would a lot easier if this product would come in a tube.

Do you know any other good and cheap eyeshadow bases?
