OPI nail polish set and BUYAPOWA experience

                                    
I don't know if you had heard about website called buyapowa.com. They have really good deals. So the main idea is co-buying. Each co-buy lasts for only a few hours and they only ever have a limited number of each product to sell.

    Once you join a co-buy your purchase is guaranteed but you'll have the opportunity to drive the price down by bringing other buyers.

   They make it super easy to tell anyone who you think may be interested. Facebook is great for spreading the word, Twitter brilliant for soliciting timely action, and email perfect for targeting specific people. And the better you are at bringing in other buyers the greater the rewards. Use the leader board to see how successful you are at bringing in other buyers. 

    If you top the chart at the end of the co-buy, you get your product for free.Of course, I didn't get it for free, but I got for the lowest price and it was £17.50 

      In the picture you can see that I got the Best of the Best nail polish set. I thought I better buy load of small size nail polish to have variety of colour, the one full size OPI nail polish. In the next picture you can see first row of nail polish closer. 

First row is with lighter tones. So from the left to right we have:

• Alpine snow (which I am giving away in my giveaway)
• Bubble Bath
• Tickle My France-y
• Strawberry Margarita
• Cajun Shrimp

 

Second row has darker tone nail polish you can see from left to right :

• Big apple Red
• I'm not really a Waitress
• You don't Know Jacques!
• Russian Navy
• Lincoln Park after Dark

Of course I couldn't wait longer, so I already painted my nails in You Don't Know Jacques! It is the middle one in the second row.I don't know if I like this colour on my nails, but it looks very strange. In the dark they look nice, but in day light the colour looks like your nails are dirty.

Natural Light

With the flash

Overall opinion about OPI nail polish set:

     I like that OPI has a big variety of nail polish, but in my opinion it isn't the best nail polish brand out there.

• Colour pay off: I need definitely two coats
• Drying time: It dried pretty quick, that I really liked 
• Price: I would buy better small nail polish set, but loads of colour then one full size, because anyway I wouldn't used it up.   
• How long it stayed on my nails: It is better than Barry M, I was cleaning and cooking and it didn't chip. 
• The Brush: For small nail polish brush it is good, but as I heard that full size nail polish has big brushes, but as you can see I have small nails.  
• Packaging: Nice and beautiful I would give to someone and would love to receive it back.
• Colours in this gift set: The only thing which I don't understand in the gift set should be the bestsellers, if I understand right. But I have heard only two nail polishes and they are Lincoln Park after dark and You Don't Know Jacques!

Overall opinion about Buyapowa experience:

• Good and fast shipping 
• Nice bargains 
• Addictive :) 
• The best part what I like that you can request your items and you can tell them what kind a price would buy them for. 
• And the offer is not only on makeup, you can buy their toys, candles and more.
• And if you have loads of friends so better for you :)

Post about life and more...

      First website what I always visit is youtube.com when I turn on my computer. I love to watch YouTube videos related to beauty and fashion. But last few weeks I noticed that I already start getting bored, because they are making to buy more stuff then I need. It isn't other girl fault, but mine. Because i like to watch hauls and reviews about products and if other girl says she loves that products I want to try it as well. For example, now on YouTube is one products really hyped about it is Revlon Lip butters, so in the UK it isn't launched, it will be only in March, but I already want them, only because other girls love them so much. I think YouTube beauty videos overall makes me worse person, then I am. When I was living in my country I never thought to buy so much makeup. The only item which I had in my country was nail polishes and lip glosses and that it. i didn't need any lipsticks, eye shadows or something else. But when I came to England I was overwhelmed with all staff what you got in the shops. In my home town we didn't have such a big choice (only in the capital city). I am very blessed with everything what I got, but with hard-work I earn what I think need, but I still feel I need to change something to stop buy thing which I never use.

      I don't read any news online and I don't watch any news on TV as well. Because I am too weak to know what happens in the world. If I don't know, then it is easier to live. In now days world is cruel to each other. If in the news they are saying just good things and informative things, but all I see are negative things, so after watching news I feel terrible, because I am human being.

      Other things I really enjoy is cross stitching. Recently I took part in Christmas present exchange (something similar to Secret Santa), when my person will get my present. I will be able to show you what I got and what I made. I really loved my present, because it came from my country. So I got my country goodies, which you can't get in the UK. So it made me feel special.

    I really enjoy browsing three woman websites. First one  is Gemsmaquillage, this year she promised that she will blog everyday and I enjoy her blog so much, because her outfits of the day are so amazing and reviews as well are good. I just like to read her posts and I like that now she puts more on her blog, then before. The only thing I would like to read on her blog book reviews. She got now kindle and i like what kind style books she read. You can find her on YouTube as well.

     Next one is Miss Budget Beauty. I like her blogs and videos. She shares so much about her life, about hers beautiful newborn boy Milo and beauty related posts. I just enjoy her writing style and simplicity. What I noticed, that she is bargain hunter like me and sometimes can splurge too. When I read her posts I feel like know her as my friend. And she writes posts regularly, that I like as well, because I can check her blog every day.  I should learn that from her. :)

     Third website is Temptalia. I like her reviews and swatches. She has so many swatches, very useful information. She has such a professionals pictures on hers website.

       So I hope you enjoyed this post. A little bit of rambling. But I felt like writing about something else than beauty. The sample sunday will be next week, because today my boyfriend took camera and I couldn't take pictures. Sorry about that, but next week will be even more posts. 

Yankee.co.uk haul

     Today I will share my thoughts about my order from yankee.co.uk. First of all they have now sale on their website, so I took advantage of that. I have heard lots of good things about Yankee candles. As you maybe remember I bought two candles in my recent haul, but they were so bad, it was just waste of money, that's why I decided to buy these candles.

     I bought Christmas gift set - 2 Small Tumblers (Red apple wreath and Mistletoe&Fig). I haven't burn these yet, but they both smell amazing and when I was looking on their website I thought they will be small, but they are good size candles. And I paid for them £15.50, the same price what I paid in TKMaxx for those two candles.

    Then I bought few samplers, because it is hard to buy candles if you don't know how they smell. As you can see in picture I bought 4 samplers.

• Tropical Fruit candle sampler £1.65 - smells good, but too sweet for my liking and I wouldn't buy big one, because it would be too much, but small one I enjoyed it.

 

•  Soft Blanket candle sampler £1.32 - smells amazing and I would buy in bigger size this candle.

• French Vanilla candle sampler £1.65 - smells okay, I love vanilla, but this one is very different, maybe different type of vanilla. So i am not the biggest fan of this, but I burn it. But next time I would choose different vanilla.

 

• Clean Cotton candle sampler £1.65 - this will be my first purchase, when I will place order on their website again. This is my favourite of all samplers I got. Even my boyfriend really liked it and he said he doesn't mind if I will order it again.  Clean and fresh smell.

    About my order shipping, it is amazing - really fast and good packed as well. Because i was wondering have they will send glass candles and if they will broke. For so small order I got so big box. i am very pleased with my order and i am happy to say i will order again, I suggest you to go and look on the website what they got. But the only thing I notice for small samplers, they don't smell so strong; maybe it is because they are small. But I think if you have bigger size candles, your room definitely smell nice.

So I hope you enjoyed this blogpost.
