EOTD: Warm brown and blue combo

Hello!

So I love bright colors but sometimes I mix and match with neutral and bright eyeshadows.

Today was a blue and brown day for me. 

 

Just a simple smokey eye look. Nothing special. I adore the blue eyeshadow!!

So I used only drugstore products for this look. I'm really into drugstore finds lately! :) Too bad that, here, we don't have such a great variety of products like in the US. I miss that from where I lived there.

Products I used:

Nivea Pure&Natural e/s in Mystic Plum on my crease and under eye lash line.
Essence e/s in It's my party on my eyelid.
Essence e/s in Adorable on my brow bone and under lash line to blend the Nivea e/s.
Bourjois Metallic e/l in Bleu Clinquant on my waterline.
Maybelline Falsies Volume Express mascara in black.
Rimmel Glam'Eyes e/l in Black Glamour.

I'm enjoying these type of posts, so I might be doing more of these in the future...

Also, what's your favorite combo?? :)

Nails: Bitty "Amazonia"

Hello! 

How´s everyone's saturday going?

Mine was a gorgeous day! Made some yummy food, stayed home and saw movies with the mom ;)

I do love those type of days sometimes...

 

So I´m done with Winter and I want Spring to arrive...
Here's some photos of a manicure I did the other day :)

I´m in love with these nail polishes!! They have the shine, cream and natural range.

This is 2 coats of a sparkly, dense lacquer. I am sorry for the dark pictures but it was cloudy... The polish is even more vibrant in person I swear :P

This particular color is called "Amazonia" and it´s stunning! Bitty Amazonia is a dupe for Misa Forbidden Lust which is, in it's own way, fairly similar to Zoya Yasmee. Two brands I adore and I can certainly see the comparison.
They dry rather fast, are very resistant and shiny... Also they cost around 1,90€ (which is around 3 USD).

The company's site can be found here: http://www.bitty.pt/4/

So yeah... Going back to doing nothing and watching movies with family...
Leave me some feedback on what your thoughts are and stuff.

B'bye!!!

Andreia Nº 43

Mists of vibrant
This nailpolish is probably one of my favourites at the moment. It's vibrant, has great coverage and lasts a long time on the nails. This is a red orange type of color and I love it to bits!
This color may not be suitable for some lighter skintones. I actually think that, since this is such a summery polish, it would look amazing on darker skin tones. But, I love it so much that I'll be rocking this baby even if it's Winter!

Application
The first coat that you apply isn't very opaque, however, if you apply a second coat of the polish, it covers the nail quite well. In the photos I applied three coats since I prefer that type of finish and in this case it looked better.

Andreia nailpolishes are part of Higicol Cosmetics. This portuguese brand can be found at www.higicol.com and the price for these are pretty inexpensive in my opinion.

What do you think of  bold colors?

Where to buy?
These polishes can be bought at http://www.stilcoup.com/ or if you live in Portugal, since they are a professional line, in any beauty salon. Andreia nail lacquer costs 1,99€ for 14ml.
