OPI: Clean Slate

When it comes to new makeup releases, I ‘am still the most excited, when I see a new upcoming collection of nail polishes. Like I need another shade… but that’s the story for some other time.

My personal favorite are those collections from fall and around holiday time, so now I’m in my special nail polish hunting mode. 

OPI did not disappoint with Fall Wonders, it’s a wonderful mix of darks, neutrals, and bights. Don’t get it why so many reds for this time of the year, but I guess they just sell well.

I was good and selected just one shade – Clean Slate. It is dark, metallic grey with silver and occasionally even blue shimmer. It looks classy and modern. And although it may be a bid ˝edgy˝ for some, I think it is still office appropriate.



The formula is very thin but buildable. It applied nicely and evenly. For my pictures, I did two coats, but for a perfectionist, I assume it will take three coats. It was easy to remove, nothing special. I don’t find these metallics to be very long-lasting, so I would recommend a top coat.

If you are still in doubt - I think this shade is unique enough that it deserves to be in your collection!

Wishes

  It is time for another wish list or as I like to say it – things that recently caught my attention. Honestly, this is just a small fraction, but I’m too embarrassed to everything out there. The center of the list represents a linen lounge shirt from Intimissimi . I bought one last year and I am super pleased with it. It keeps me cool during these crazy tropical nights and feels very comfortable. I also very much enjoy their silk shirts, but the buttons are simply too annoying sometimes … Now, let’s go up and right to Dior. Another blush? Yes, please! Dior yet again reformulated their famous Backstage Rosy Glow blushes and added some new shades. I always desperately wanted to buy the lavender one, but it was not available in our country. But now something completely different caught my attention – muted, peachy, beige shade – Toffee . I swatched it already and it is pretty, but packed with gold glitter, so I need to try it again to be fully convinced. Smooth&Glow...

Dior Forever Glow Maximizer - Peachy

Apparently this year I have been obsessed with highlighters and blushes because it is time to review another one – Forever Glow Maximizer by Dior in the shade PEACHY. If the Star Glow Filter is very subtle, this is not. It is not tacky and can be beautifully blended, but it’s a real highlighter that serves its purpose. Peachy – light, golden peach with gold and pink shimmer. On my light skin tone, I often wear this as a blush, because I think it works better on me like this. It gives that slight amount of warmth to my face and a subtle golden sheen. It can be built up, but it can also look too much. Now when I’m getting a bit darker I love to put it on top of my bronzer or/and use it as an eyeshadow to achieve a light monochromatic summer look.  Indoor light Sunlight This is a great and versatile product, but I still prefer powder versions of Dior highlighters, they are just easier to work with and blend more effortlessly. I think that with liquid highlighters you always need to be...
