Catrice No Snow Petrol stamped with Pueen 49

With this, I have finally finished swatching my Catrice haul, phew....Catrice No Snow Petrol is a gorgeous medium petrol blue with blue shimmers and applies easily in 2 coats. I got the Pueen stamping plates as I loved the upholstery/wallpaper kind of design ;) So here I have stamped with China Glaze Passion and Pueen 49 and I like the result despite my sub-par stamping :p

Revlon Ruby Ribbon & Color Club Halo Hues

Hi, I meant to post this on 1 Jan but was lazing around too much that day :p Anyway, happy new year! Took the opportunity to try out Revlon Ruby Ribbon (fushia glitter with magenta and holographic bar glitter), which is on my index and pinky. I have 2 coats over 1 coat of Essence Glamorous Life which appears similar in color. You can see the close up bottle shot below.

As it was New Year's, wanted to have an appropriate theme, so for middle and ring fingers, applied Essence Galactic Black and I haphazardly drew on the fireworks with Color Club Halo Hues shades.

That's all for my first mani in 2014, which I'm not entirely satisfied with, but I guess that means more room for improvement? ;)

Thanks for viewing!

Couleur Inc Garnet stamped with Pueen 15

Here is 3 coats of Couleur Inc Garnet, a very very sheer aqua with silver and light blue glitter, over 1 coat of OPI Solitaire, mattified and stamped with Essence Let's Get Lost and Pueen 15. As my poor stamping skills left quite a big gap in the design on my ring finger, ended up sticking on a nail sticker :p

Quite disappointed that Couleur Inc Garnet is so sheer as I was looking forward to getting the color that is in the bottle (>.<). Even over a white base, the color barely shows up.

Anyway, click below for more pics.

Comparison: Catrice Marilyn & Me vs OPI The Spy Who Loved Me

When I put on Catrice Marilyn & Me in my previous post, I was reminded of OPI The Spy Who Loved Me so decided to put them side by side to compare.

The bottle shots seem pretty close right? For the swatches on sticks, OPI The Spy Who Loved Me looks slightly warmer and has finer glitter. Click below for comparison pics.

Chanel Travel Makeup Palette Altitude

Felt kinda guilty for buying and not really using this palette so thought I might as well take it out for a swatch and hopefully be more motivated to use it? :p

This is available in duty free, recently saw it when I went on my holiday, think it was S$97. It has 5 eyeshadows (blue, pink, white, light brown and dark brown), a face powder, a blush, 2 lipsticks, 2 lipglosses, a concealer, a mascara and 4 applicators.
