Lipgloss

Go for gloss. These awesome lipglosses make your lips shine in a choice of purple, bordeaux or apricot. A mix of color pigments and ultra-fine shimmer particles create a metallic-iridescent effect on your lips with great coverage. Wow! Available in 01 petal to the metal, 02 best dressed and 03 glam-me.

Stick on eyeliner

Line-up! Stick on eyeliner is always eye-catching, but this version is sure to steal the show! The adhesive, re-usable eyeliner in the silver and rosé-gold shades of precious metal are absolute it-pieces for this glamorous style! Available in 01 petal to the metal.

Nail polish

Steel your nails – not a problem with this longlasting nail polish! Bronze, purple, green and gold – each with a hip metallic(a) effect – are sure to put your nails in the spotlight! Available in 01 steel-ing the scene, 02 petal to the metal, 03 glamour girls and 04 gold digger. 

Gold topper

As good as gold and totally hip! The top coat is enriched with golden flakes to complement your glamorous nail design! The particularly high concentration of flakes ensures an ultimate wow-effect. Available in 01 steel-ing the scene.

Highlighting powder

Titanium taint! The light, almost white-gold highlighting powder with a soft cream texture and subtle shimmer pigments gives your face a fresh and glamorous glow. Available in 01 gold digger.

 

My opinion: Hmmm.. the only thing that I kinda like for now are lipglosses.. all three of them. The rest is - too shiny in a bad way. The eyehadows are totally glittery, just like the ones from regular range. The nail stickers and nail polishes have weird colours.. personally I don't like such.. so probably this LE will go by me, maybe I'll just take a closer look at those lip glosses :)

How about you? Anything you like?

What do you think? Anything you would be interested in buying? As for myself I really don't like this design and colours. As for lip products, I like the lip scrub and red lip tint, will be definitely on my list to try them out, but the rest is just ehhh... Too much pink, the whole packaging looks rather too cheap even for Essence. The perfume might be also interesting but I have a feeling it's going to be a very sweet scent, which I won't like. Plus their perfumes have a tendency  to loose their scent very easily. The nail art polishes don't appeal to me at all. The chosen colours are too girly for me, plus  the nail stickers are just.. blaahh.. I bet a lot of teenagers will see this one as a very cute one, which it really is, if you are in this kind of colours :)

Thanks for reading and have a great weekend :)
