O.P.I. - Skyfall LE



OPI celebrates the 50th Anniversary of Bond 007 and the Sony release of Skyfall starring Daniel Craig and Javier Bardem in the Holiday 2012 Skyfall Collection – 12 dangerously dazzling new shades for the holidays and beyond. Moviegoers will spot the supremely gorgeous Bérénice Marlohe wearing two of the OPI shades in the Skyfall Collection: Skyfall, a magnificent maroon on top of her nails, and GoldenEye, a glorious gold painted on the undersides. The result is as luxuriously dangerous as James Bond himself.

 O.P.I. made this gorgeous collection of nail polishes for this special occasion and the colours are simply.. fantastic :)

Here are some swatches, the rest we don't need even to discuss, after all.. it's O.P.I. ;)


Die Another Day, The Spy Who Loved Me, Goldeneye


Casino Royale, You Only Live Twice, Skyfall


On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, Tomorrow Never Dies, The World Is Not Enough
Moonraker, Live And Let Die, The Living Daylights
At first I thought.. oh great, nice collection, nice idea.. but that's all. Than some time later... I need this, it's fantastic, all the colours are in a way special and I love them all. Best are Casino Royal and Skyfall, I'm really into deep reds lately. Plus Live and Let Die :) Unfortunately they were not available in the store anymore.. I hope they refill the stand or order some more, these colours are just too pretty not to wear them :)

Mini haul: Catrice SpectaculART LE



Hey there! These are the products I got my hands on from the collection SpectaculART. I got myself Ultimate nail lacquer in C04 Soulful and false lashes. I got to an almost full stand, I was very curious about the lipsticks, but they were like coloured lip balms, very little colour at all, so I decided not to take them. The eyeshadows were very nicely pigmented but the colours didn't impress me in real life.
This false lashes come with an eyelash glue, the instructions how to use them are: Carefully remove false lashes from the tray. Apply a small amount of enclosed eyelash glue to the ends of the false lashes. Wait approx 30 seconds for the glue to become sticky. Position false lashes above your natural and press gently. To remove gently peel off and remove the glue with fingers.
What we have here are 60 single false lashes in three different lengths and a litlle bit of glue. I am sceptical if the amount will be enough until the end of the box, or if I will  have to buy some other glue later.
This will be quite a practice, because I do not normally use false eyelashes, I used them once, but they were full strip, not single. I didn't like the effect they made, they didn't stand so well, so I decided to give it another try with singles, they seem easier to apply even if it takes a bit longer.
This nail polish was the strongest colour in the SpectaculART collection and a really gorgeous purplish colour. It's like any other Catrice nail polish, the texture, the bottle, the brush are all the same. It lasts as usual, without any top coat for about two days, than it starts to crease.





Also I remembered that Lisa Eldridge made a really usefull video of how to apply single false lashes, the whole tutorial is great! I think I'm gonna help myself with her advices :) Here's the video I'm talking about:



What about you? Did you get anything from the SpectaculART collection? Did you like it?

Preview - Catrice "Siberian Call" Limited edition

Catrice has not said their last word this year.. we still have one more limited edition to check out, this one is named "Siberian Call".

Catrice team says:
Ice wide open! As the Siberian cold approaches, fascination for the Russian tundra grows. Beautiful scenery full of contrasts surrounds the Limited Edition Siberian Call Collection: silent snowy landscapes, bluish icy vegetation and imposing, vast steppes in brown and green – the territory of wolves, bears and tigers. Mysterious impressions of this world have already conquered the international catwalks. The symbiosis of the ice age and naturally warm elements is reflected in the current crossover couture: glamorous fur effects, soft tweed, urban knits and sparkling highlights with an ice-flower appearance. Deep greys and silver shades unite with warm beige, pink and coral to become the trend colours of this edition.

International Launch Date – December 2012 and January 2013 in Germany, Swizerland, Austria, Spain, Italy, Poland, Czech, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Russia, Jordanien, Malta, Pakistan, Mexico.

 
 Eyeshadow: Highly pigmented mono eyeshadow provides intense shimmer effects and a metallic finish. The velvety texture powder-confident with strong color results in frosted gray, two warm shades of brown and bright coral. Available in 01 Here, Take Your Gear, 02 Gray I'm A Dreamer,  03 Rose's Wood and 04 Rest in the Forest. 





Lip cream:  True natural talent are the three easy Lip Creams. They color the lips subtly with their highly pigmented formulation and leave thanks to Pearl texture a delicate feeling. Three natural, earthy tones to bright intense expressive lips. Available in 01 Rest In The Forest,  02 Coral-al-al-al and 03 Fire tracker.
 Crystal lip topcoat: The applicator of Crystal Lip topcoats like a magic wand and gives the lips a mysterious ice flowers effect. For a particularly intense result: before using a colored Lip Cream and be enchanted by the transparent gloss with glitter effect can. Available in 01 Sky and Snow.



 Cream to Powder Blush: Luminous coral and delicate rose bring the ice to melt and provide bright accents without shimmer. Applied the creamy texture is powdery and light. Available in 01 Coral-al-al-al and 02 Rose's Wood.
 Ultimate nail lacquer: The ice-cream of the crop: five new nail polishes in Nearly Black, Grey, Ice Silver, Mauve and Coral Wow with different effects.  Available in 01 The Calm Call, 02 I'm A Dreamer Gray, 03 Sky and Snow, 04 rest in The Forest and 05  Coral-al-al-al.


What do you think? Is this the kind of LE you would expect for December time? I'm mostly looking forward to check out the lip products and the black nail polish, these are my favourites. The corals kinda annoy me, it's just a too bright colour for this season, plus I did expect more darker burgundy and wines, and none of the limited editions this year had them. I was hoping for a really strong dark mulberry lipstick, but I guess autumn went by too fast, and December with all it's sparkles is already knocking on the door.

Thanks for reading and have a nice week :)
