I've heard some great things about Zoeva cosmetics and was super excited to give some of their products a go ! Zoeva cosmetics is a brand that focuses on the individual beauty of women and are internationally recoginsed for their colour cosmetics and their makeup brushes.





Cool Spectrum Eyeshadow Palette 
 
First up is the Cool Spectrum Eyeshaow Palette that is a lovely mixture of neutral shades and colourful shades. The packaging of the palette is really beautiful and it comes in a matte black sleeve with holographic accents.


Overall, the formula of the shadows are a nice texture and are quite pigmented. The shimmery shades were especially pigmented and buttery and were really easy to swatch. I found that the matte shades, the black and dark green shades a bit powdery and it was more difficult to get a more opaque swatch. My favourite shades are the shimmery copper shades which are just perfect for a warm, smokey eye. This eyeshadow palette retails for RRP $75.




Cream Eye Liner 

I haven't tried many cream eyeliners before but I really liked this one ! This cream eyeliner is in the shade called Baroque and is a lovely shimmery copper shade. When I swatched it with an angled eyeliner brush, it was really creamy and application was amazing ! It glided on like a dream. A little bit goes a long way and this little pot would last a very long time !





Graphic Lash Mascara  
I've tried heaps of different mascaras but I was really impressed by this one. It separates each lash while adding volume and length. It lasted all day without any smearing, smudging or flaking. The colour is black and you only need a few swipes. You could easily layer this mascara with multiple coats of this one or another brand. It's definitely going to become one of my staple mascaras. This mascara retails for RRP $25.



Classic Eye Set 
If you're after some basic eye makeup brushes, then look no further than this set. This brush set contains 6 eye brushes and a beautiful clutch to store them in.
The 6 brushes that are included are the:

A personal favourite brush of mine from this set is the 227 Soft Definer. All of the brushes are super soft and blend shadows seamlessly. They're made from a mix a natural hairs and synthetic fibres but they also make a vegan brush range too. This brush set retails for RRP $81



Overall, I loved these Zoeva products and can't wait to try out some more in the future ! Their products are of a fantastic quality and quite reasonable in price. In Australia, Zoeva is available from Sephora Australia stores and online.

To celebrate a timeless film, OPI have released a brand new holiday collection - Breakfast At Tiffany's. The collection is filled with reds. pinks, glitters and dark shades.
Let's jump straight into it !


I Believe In Manicures
This shade is definitely my favourite of the entire collection ! I'm a sucker for baby blue shades and this one is just perfect. It was opaque in two coats and the colour is just phenomenal.





Champagne for Breakfast
This shade is a glitter topper that is so pretty ! It has a bit of a holo to it and it quite sparkly. I put two coats over I Believe In Manicures and it had nice coverage.



Meet My "Decorator"
This is such a beautiful spicy red/orange shade. It reminds me of Cajun Shrimp by OPI as it has a similar colour profile but I think this shade is slightly brighter. So nice and bright !


 
Breakfast At Tiffany's 
If you're a fan of nude shades with a shimmer running through it, then this one's for you. It took about two to three coats for opacity and was a bit on the thin side.



Five-and-Ten
I found this shade quite hard to photograph but it's really pretty in person. Its a silver foil that's really easy to apply. I've worn similar shades previously and they were a pain to apply but this one was much easier and this finish was much nicer.




Got The Mean Reds
OPI are known for their amazing red shades and this one is no exception. Application was lovely and only two coats were needed from opacity. It has a nice shine and would look fabulous on every skin tone.



Sunrise...Bedtime !
This shade is another nice glitter topper and has nice distribution of pink and silver. Like Champagne For Breakfast, pictured is two coats over Apartment For Two.



Apartment For Two
I love this shade ! It's a beautiful pink that's nice and bright. Application was great and I have no complaints. 



Fire Escape Rendezvous 
Hmm not thrilled with this shade. The base colour is ok - it's a mid toned shade with a lighter shimmer running through it. But I'm not a fan with the chunky glitter that also runs through it.
I probably won't be reaching for this one again.



Can't Read Without My Lipstick 
This shade reminds me of a red version of Guys and Galaxies by OPI. It was a little sheer but overall, I really like it.



Rich & Brazilian 
This shade is really fun. It's a deep purple with a beautiful shimmer running through it. I didn't have any problems with application, you could even get away with one coat of polish !




Black Dress Not Optional
This shade is a dark colour that's almost black. It has a fine shimmer running through it and it's really nice. It reminds me of Centre Of The You-Niverse by OPI but with a finer shimmer. 



Overall, I really like this collection and can see myself wearing lots of these colours in the future. My favourites shades have to be I Believe In Manicures and Meet My "Decorator".
You can pick up these colours now for $19.95 at David Jones, Myer and selected salons nationally.

Apres-chic

This shade is a stunning silver metallic colour and I can see myself using it as an accent nail in many manis to come ! It is a little streaky but the stunning colour make up for that.



Altitude Attitude
You can never have too many red polishes so this shade will sit very happily in my collection. It's a mid-toned red that is quite bright and looks great on my light skin tone.



Shall We Chalet?
This shade is a deeper red that edges on a burgundy/maroon shade. If you love dark, vampy nails then definitely pick this one up.

   

Peak Show
I love baby pink shades and this one is no exception ! It goes on really nicely and is very similar to Let's Be Friends by OPI from the Hello Kitty collection.



Virgin Snow
This shade is a lovely lilac colour that is a highlight of the collection for me.  I can see it looking amazing on any skin tone and it reminds me of Bikini So Teeny but without the shimmer.
 


Haute Tub
At first glance, this shade looks like just a dark, almost black shade. But when you look closer, it's actually a really dark purple with pink and purple microglitter running through it. So pretty !

Spearmint Scoop
I expected this shade to be a bit brighter and it actually is a bit darker and dustier on the nail. It's still a lovely shade and it took 2 coats to be opaque.




Fairy Dreams 
This dusty pink/lilac shade is so pretty and the name totally suits it. Love it ! No complaints. I would wear it again for sure.



Silver Siren
This shade looks so stunning in the bottle but just didn't live up to my expectations. It's a chrome polish and is a nice colour but is super streaky. For each coat, I only did one brush stroke for minimal streaking but it didn't help. 




I really like the brush of these, it's a good length, gives you good control and fans out nicely. The formula was really great too, nice and opaque but not too thick. I would definitely try these out again.
You can pick some shades up for yourself from Hairhouse Warehouse (both in-store and online) for RRP $6.95 each. Thanks Stark Matthews PR !

Rimmel London have just released their latest collection, Sweetie Heart Matte Pastel Nail Colours ! These are gorgeously delectable pastel shades that dry to a matte velvet finish and just scream Spring/Summer to me. The lovely people at CotyPr sent me these shades to try out and review for you all so lets get straight into it !


Cheeky Girl
This is pale pink that is my favourite of the whole collection. It's delicate, sophisticated and absolutely gorgeous. This shade and Love Bug both needed three coats for opacity.





Love Bug
I normally try to stay away from yellows as they tend not to suit my skin tone however this is a soft buttery yellow that is actually quite pretty.





Cheeky Chap
This is a soft purple/blue similar to Essie's Bikini So Teeny except with a velvet matte finish. I found application the hardest with this shade and it was the streakiest of the collection.





You're Mine
I really liked this shade, it's a mix between a pink an apricot colour that has a little neon to it as well. It would look really nice with olive or a darker skin tone and application was pretty easy.






I really really like these shades and I can see myself wearing these a lot. I love matte finishes at the moment and I've always had a weakness for pastel colours. I wish that the finish was little less streaky but they aren't streaky enough that it stops me from wearing and loving them.

Rimmel London Sweetie Heart Matte Pastel Nail Colour’s, $5.95 each, are available from September 2015 at Priceline, Priceline Pharmacy, Target, Chemist Warehouse and selected pharmacies. For stockists please call 1800 812 663.

The already extensive colour range of Sally Hansen's Xtreme Wear Collection has expanded even further with the addition of 5 new shades ! The new shades range from nudes, soft and bright pinks and even periwinkle. Each new shade features streak free application and extreme shine. The wide brush made application a breeze and the formula was easy to work with.

L-R Bare It All, Giant Peach, All Bright, Babe Blue, Tickled Pink

Bare It All

'The perfect sheer nude nail in a bottle.'

This is a brown based nude and I was surprised how brown it actually was on my nails. It reminds me of OPI's Do You Take Lei Away from their Hawaii Collection. It wasn't as sheer as I expected it to be and was opaque in 3 coats. It was a super glossy polish and I imagine that it would be more flattering on darker/ more olive skin tones.



Tickled Pink

'This is it. Your absolute go-to for plushy soft pink nails.'

I love love love baby pink polishes and this was no exception. It was slightly patchy and needed quite a few coats to get completely opaque. It's quite a pale pink and looked great with my skin tone. I can see myself wearing this a lot in the future.



Giant Peach

'Playful and peachy-keen, this coral is equal parts fun and fundamental.'

I wasn't sure how this would look on my nails but I really like it. It's a dusty peachy pink that is really pretty and the formula was really easy to work with. No complaints here.



All Bright

'Amp it up with this perfectly punchy, hot magenta.'

This polish is so much brighter in person and the picture doesn't do it justice. It's such a bright pink and like the other polishes in the range, it's super shiny and glossy. It was opaque in 2 coats and wasn't patchy or streaky at all.



Babe Blue
'A subtle, baby periwinkle that serves up just the right amount of flare.'

This has to be my favourite of the newly released shades! It's such a gorgeous baby periwinkle with a slight shimmer running through it. It's pretty much a dupe for Essie's Bikini So Teeny and I could wear it pretty much for the rest of my life.



I really like these new shades and I now want to try other shades in the Xtreme Wear Collection. All of the polishes were super glossy, leveled out evenly and the wide brush made it easy to apply to polish. Winning all round !

You can pick up these shades now for RRP $6.95 from Priceline, Chemist Warehouse, Target and select pharmacies nationally.
