The look of love


After obsessively checking my tracking link for the last six days I have received the coveted pink envelope. I am sure that had it not been for the winter storm that stopped the East coast I would have received it right before Valentine's Day.  As it is, the mask I got will be the first item I will use.

What I got? See for yourself :


In the cute little bag I have received

#1 full size Zoya nail polish in Odette

This is the first time I will try out this nailpolish that boasts to be 3free, and the delicate milky pink from the new collection is perfect for that. I was just recently looking for something like that, so I am really happy I have received it. I will gladly use it. I'm tired of the dark colors.

#2 full size eyetini eyeshadow and primer in Violette
When I saw it I was not really happy - I don't like this color, but then how many gold/neutral/blue eye shadows/eye pencils  can a girl have? Too many if you look into my cosmetic bag, so I have resolved to try it out since I got it in a bag. From the swatch on my hand I know that once it dries it will stay put.
I am curious how will my experiments end.

#3 jcatbeauty eyelashes

My experience with falsies is almost non existent- I only put them on twice, and these are 100% human hair ( I've read a little how that is obtained online). They are definitely fuller than what I used before, but I will give them a try.

#4 pop beauty lipgloss in Fuchia Freesia
I love lipgloss so I'm happy I will get to try it

And last but not least 
Skyn facemask . I have heard good things about this brand, will test it.

Glamour race

It seems that the silent shipping war between Birchbox and Ipsy has intensified.

I have received notifications from both yesterday. Wednesday 13 I have received my birchbox. I was so busy at the beginning of February that I had little time to check the spoilers. I was so excited that it took me a while to notice that I was getting a dupe - Ruby Wing in Rid'em Cowgirl.(*correction Birchbox customer service said that because the nail polish was in a different color it was not a dupe, and that I could safely review it for 10 points).

Here's what the mailman brought me:
