Kinetics Flower Explosion Spring 2012 Collection – Review Round-Up

Published on May 15, 2012 in Beauty. 1 Comment Tags: 2012 Spring Collection, chic review, Kinetics, nail polish collection.

Hello lovelies!

I finally finished reviewing the entire Kinetics Flower Explosion Spring 2012 Collection (photos & nail swatches) well with a minor exception of the Secret Garden nail polish which I didn’t received. I first posted about this collection info & promo photos in February 2012 and only later on in the mid of March I received the polishes from Kinetics to test and review them.

I know it took me about 2 months to finish reviewing the entire collection but besides the 4-5 days necessary for each nail polish, you know I reviewed first Kinetics Neon Spring 2012 Nail Polish Collection (review round-up) which also contains 6 colors so it was a lot of work.

Kinetics Flower Explosion Spring 2012 Collection is available in U.S. (@kineticsnails.com) since February 2012, Internationally (at Kinetics nail salons and @margaritabelska.com) since March 2012 and in Romania since end of March 2012 (@kiriloff.ro and dedicated Kinetics nail salons). You can check out my post about Kinetics online shops if you are interested in these products. Continue reading ‘Kinetics Flower Explosion Spring 2012 Collection – Review Round-Up’

Kinetics Love Me, Love Me Not Nail Polish from Kinetics Flower Explosion Spring 2012 Collection – Review, Nail Swatches & Photos

Published on May 15, 2012 in Beauty. 0 Comments Tags: chic review, Kinetics, nail polish, nail polish review.

Hello lovelies!

The last nail polish I will review from Kinetics Flower Explosion Spring 2012 Collection (info & nail swatches) is Love Me, Love Me Not which is one of the 8 shades included in this collection. You can find the new colors available at dedicated Kinetics nail salons, online shops of Kinetics distributors and @kiriloff.ro for Romania.

Kinetics Love Me, Love Me Not (€6.00 / 25.00 Lei for 15 ml / 0.5 fl oz ) is actually very hard to describe since it looks different depending on how the light hits. I can say it’s a greyish light brown with pastel pink undertones and a pearly finish. If I was a little tanned this color will match perfectly my skin color so it’s a tanned flesh color . The texture is very creamy, not to think or too watery but because of this texture the drying time takes at least 10 minutes. The color looks quite opaque in one coat but a second coat makes it look darker and more shiny. The application went smoothly without pooling, streaking or bubbling.

Published on May 14, 2012 in Beauty. 2 Comments Tags: 2012 Summer Collection, chic preview, mascara, Max Factor.

Hello beauties!

As I said, Max Factor is busy this year with the release of all kind of mascaras. The most expected one is Eye Brightening Tonal Black Volumising Mascara (info & promo photos) which will be available in summer 2012 only in some countries (check out my info post to see if your country was selected to receive this mascara).

The price is yet unknown but I can tell you the new mascara will be available in 4 shades, each one recommended for a specific eye color. The formula has delicate reflective particles that catch light and reflect it back into the eye as you move and enhances and brightens the natural eye color.

I received by Max Factor Romania all the 4 shades to test and review and naturally I started with Black Ruby shade which is the one recommended for my green eyes. Continue reading ‘Max Factor Eye Brightening Tonal Black Volumising Mascara – Preview & Photos’

Max Factor Flipstick Colour Effect in Bloomy Pink – Review & Lip Swatches

Published on May 14, 2012 in Beauty. 4 Comments Tags: chic review, lipstick, Max Factor.

Hello lovelies!

Last week I posted about the new summer 2012 colors of Max Factor Flipstick Colour Effect (info & promo photos) from which I received 5 shades to review from Max Factor Romania. After I did a preview post where I showed you swatches of Max Factor Flipstick Colour Effect it’s definitely time for start those individual reviews.

The new lipsticks are available from end of April 2012 @superdrug.com and from May 2012 at Sephora, Douglas, Dm drugstores and private beauty shops.

The first color (in this case colors because it’s a double ended lipstick) that I tested is Flisptick Colour Effect in #05 Bloomy Pink (£8.49 / 36.00 Lei). The lighter shade (the one from the left) is a pale pink with gold shimmer and a satin frosty finish while the darker shade (right side) is a plumy red with gold shimmer. I tested these colors in multiple combinations, one on top of the other, the lighter shade on the upper lip and the darker shade on the bottom lip or the lighter shade in the middle. You can try your own combination and discover which one suits you best. The packaging is transparent, simple and easy to use and I like it because I can see each color before I open the cap.

Both lipstick have almost the same texture, they feel lightweight without being drying, but the lighter shade has a stronger satin finish and emphasizes the lip lines while the darker shade is more opaque and didn’t require a lot of product to get a good amount of color coverage . Each lipstick applies smoothly and evenly. Continue reading ‘Max Factor Flipstick Colour Effect in Bloomy Pink – Review & Lip Swatches’

Dior Makeup Collection for Fall – Winter 2012 – Sneak Peek

Published on May 14, 2012 in Beauty. 3 Comments Tags: 2012 Fall Collection, 2012 Winter Collection, Dior, makeup collection.

Hello lovelies!

Even though the cold season is far away (I like to think that summer will last an eternity) I though you might appreciate a sneak peek of Dior Makeup Collection for Fall – Winter 2012. Some of the products from this collection were used on models from runway Dior Fall Winter 2012 so if you watched the presentation I’m sure you’ve spotted the new makeup tendencies.

Cosmetics play a very big part in the secret of beauty, but they mustn’t show. Too much make-up is now very old-fashioned. You don’t have to be under strong lights like an actress on a stage, so there is no need to be made up like one. The most natural make-up is best, and except for lipstick it must not show. Brightly coloured nail varnish is all right il you like it, but personally I prefer natural colours. – quote from Christian Dior’s Little Dictionary of Fashion released in 1954.

Still, natural beauty is perennial. Inspired by the layering of powdery, diaphanous couture materials, the Nude range embodies the ultimate expression of self: naked beauty for a sophisticated lifestyle.

Kinetics Be Mine Nail Polish from Flower Explosion Spring 2012 Collection – Review, Photos &Nail Swatches

Published on May 13, 2012 in Beauty. 2 Comments Tags: chic review, Kinetics, nail polish, nail polish review.

Hello beauties!

The review of Kinetics Be Mine nail polish brings me one stop closer to finish my review series of nail polishes from Kinetics Flower Explosion Spring 2012 Collection (info, photos & nail swatches). The entire collection is available at international dedicated Kinetics beauty salons, Kinetics distributors and @kiriloff.ro. In Romania the collection was released at the end of March 2012.

Kinetics Be Mine nail polish (€6.00 / 25.00 Lei for 15 ml / 0.5 fl oz ) is a natural beige champagne, with satin finish and a creamy watery texture (more watery than creamy). When I layered this color I had the feeling of a melting vanilla ice cream because of the color and texture of this polish. The first coat won’t deliver an opaque coverage so a second coat is needed although being a light natural shade is not completely opaque.

Kinetics Velvet Asphalt Nail Polish from Flower Explosion Spring 2012 Collection – Review, Photos &Nail Swatches

Published on May 13, 2012 in Beauty. 5 Comments Tags: chic review, Kinetics, nail polish, nail polish review.

Hello beauties!

I’m a little behind with the nail polish reviews so today I’m going to try and finish the few nail colors I have left to review from Kinetics Flower Explosion Spring 2012 Collection (info, nail swatches & photos). The entire collection is available at dedicated Kinetics nail salons and online @kiriloff.ro.

Unfortunately I won’t be able to show you right now how this color looks in one coat because I lost the photos once as my hard disk was fried. In the future days I will update this post with more photos but now I’m wearing a different nail polish and I just have to wait 3 more days to take the final photos for review.

Velvet Asphalt nail polish (€6.00 / 25.00 Lei for 15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) is a blue-gray color, more like a deep grayish blue with green undertones, satin finish and it’s opaque even on one coat. This color was worn by models at the fashion presentations for Fall – Winter 2013. The texture is creamy but very light towards watery so the brush can pick enough product to color 2-3 nails easily. Being a dark color I wanted to lay a base coat first and this time I chose Kinetics Nano Shark Emergency Treatment for damaged nails (review & photos) which is actually a top coat also and I also used it to seal the 2 coats of Velvet Asphalt color. The polish has a beautiful shine and one layer of top coat really gives you that mirror effect.
