CIATE PAINT POT in shade BIG YELLOW TAXI

This beautiful Ciate Paint Pot is called Big Yellow Taxi* and it is a very bright yellow shade with a creme finish. It is not a neon yellow, so if you are not a fan of fluorescent colours this one will be the right choice for you. The application is streak free and I only needed two thin coats for an opaque finish. I also received a base coat and a top coat from Ciate and I have been using them for a couple of weeks with different nail polishes and they are really good. The base coat is called Underwear* and it is enriched with Lotus Flower to strengthen your nails and nurture the nail bed. Like every base coat, it prevents staining and discolouration of the nail. The Speed Coat Fast Dry Top Coat* gives a nice glossy finish, protects the colour, makes it last longer and prevents chipping.

"Your one-coat route to a super-hot pout. The creamiest, on trend shades to take your look up a whole other notch - best stock up on your one-coat route to a super-hot pout! Tip: One coat should do it, but ensure even more staying power layer up two or three, blotting in between, then dust loose powder over a tissue over the top."

First of all, the packaging- it is a really lovely design that looks like metal, but is very light. I expected it to be very heavy, but surprisingly it is light like a feather :) The lipstick itself is very creamy and non drying, although if your lips are chapped and dry, I would advise you to exfoliate them with a lip scrub and moisturize them properly before you apply the lipstick. They colour is a peachy shade and it is very pigmented. The finish is slightly sheen but looks a bit matte too- I can't quite describe it :)  I also thought it will look more orange, but it doesn't. I love it. You can put one coat on for a more subtle look or build up more layers (2-3) for a bold colour. I like it both ways and I have been wearing Tangerine Cream on my lips all week! It stays on my lips for 2-3 hours and the formula is very light. You can purchase it online or in Superdrug for £7.00.

Jewellery for a lady :)

Hi everyone!
I can't believe it's Monday again! Today I would like to show you  a couple of gorgeous pieces from Wharton Goldsmith. I usually wear costume jewellery, but my husband always treats me to some beautiful pieces made of silver or gold. I like to wear fine jewellery for special occasions  and my collection is growing really fast :) I would be more than happy to receive any of the pieces featured in todays post :) Let's hope my husband is reading this. The flower rings are very feminine and delicate and the daisy bracelet would go with them perfectly. I also like glass beads and wear them on bracelets or on a chain, the one I featured is from Trollbeads. There is  a big selection of colours and designs on the Wharton Goldsmith website here. As a big fan of purple stones, I already own a beautiful Amethyst ring, very similar to the one you can see below and I love it. It is a statement piece and I always get a lot of compliments on it. The white watch would be a perfect gift and looks very classy and elegant. What is your favourite piece? Do you like elegant jewellery?

Look Beauty Cool Britannia Limited Edition Nail Pop

Last a week I received this Look Beauty Limited Edition Nail Pop. It is called Cool Britannia and it is inspired by the London 2012 Olympics. It is a a mixture of micro glitters in red, white and blue and gives a very unusual effect and full coverage in just one coat. It didn't chip for 2 days and it looks absolutely gorgeous on the nails! Like any other glitter nail polish, it is a pain to remove but doesn't scratch the surface of the nail as much, because the glitter particles are really really tiny.
