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?

Review: E.L.F. Shimmering Facial Whip in Golden Peach


Product: Shimmering Facial Whip
Colour: Golden Peach
Colour Description: a shimmering peachy-gold with glitters
Price: €1,00 $1.00
Availability: online odering only (http://www.eyeslipsface.com/) (http://www.eyeslipsface.nl/)


For just €1,00 you can buy this beautiful highlight product. The tube isn't that big but for that price, I can't complain. The colour is beautiful and can be used to highlight pretty much anything you want, your cheekbone, browbone or your body. There are 8 colours available, from white, pink, brown to gold. The lovely Liza, already reviewed the colour Lilac Petal. You can read her review here. Liza was very clear she absolutely loves this product and I can do nothing else but agree with her.


The product comes in a little squeezy tube and the formula is quite thick. I expected it to be watery because it's so cheap but the consistency of the product was actually quite thick and it really is a great procuct. It gives my skin a beautiful glowy finish. I apply this under my powder foundation on my cheekbones and cupid's bow, sometimes even a little bit on my nose. Be careful not to use too much, you only need a little bit and a little bit goes a long way. If you're looking for a cheap highlighter for you face or body, I totally recommend the E.L.F. Shimmering Facial Whips.

Do you own an E.L.F. Shimmering Facial Whip? Or any other E.L.F. products?

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?

Haul: Sudocrem, Dr Organic Rose Otto Skin Toner, Kruidvat 'behandelingsolie' Tea Trea oil.

Yesterday I was in Arnhem and just hád to buy something skincare-related. As my wallet didn't allow me to buy somethig expensive, I decided to pick up the following 3 things:

From left to right: Sudocrem €2,49, Dr Organic Rose Otto Skin Toner €9,99, Kruidvat 'behandelingsolie' / tea trea oil €1,99.

The sudocrem and tea trea oil I actually repurchased, because I had finished the old onces. I love to put a little sudocrem on red acnescars before I go to bed, it heals them faster and takes away the redness. Tea Trea oil I like to put on breakouts, it's a natural product and due to its strong ingredients it kills bacteria, and dries the pimple out.

If anybody is interested in more information about these 2 products, let me know! I have been using them for ages now:).

As far as the Dr Organic Skin toner, I have never tried this product out. I do own a scrub from Dr Organic, which I am very satisfied about, you can read the review here: http://things4her.blogspot.com/2011/02/skincare-drorganic-manuka-honey-face.html .

Look out for the review about the Toner! All I can already say is that it smells lovely!

NOTD: Eyeko Coral Polish

Today's NOTD is Eyeko's Coral Polish for resort nails. Dreaming of Ipanema beach? This flattering coral bright will get your toes resort-ready. This colour screams summer to me, and I love summer! It's more of an orange-y coral but still a lovely colour. On this picture I'm wearing 2 coats of Coral Polish and no topcoat. This nail polish costs €5.00 but you can also buy Coral Polish in the Summer Hols set togther with Saucy Polish and Punk Polish for only €11.00. I really like Eyeko Polishes, I've already tried 3 colours and they all apply really smoothly, last around a week and Eyeko has some pretty and original colours.

Do you own any Eyeko Polishes?
