I am always loving all the OPI collections inspired the the countries and am always excited to see what country will inspire the next collection. The country for A/W is Germany and no one does the names as OPI, right?!

There are twelve shades as usual and they are:

• Don’t Pretzel My Buttons, a haute honey-beige that can always make you smile.
•  My Very First Knockwurst …and what a magical rosy-nude rendezvous it was!
•  Berlin There, Done That, a travelling taupe that’s seen it all. (Yep, that too)
•  Don’t Talk Back to Me, there’s nothing mellow about this sassy lime-yellow.
•  Nein! Nein! Nein! Ok Fine!, a bodacious black-olive? We say “Ja! Ja! Ja!”
•  Unfor-Greta-bly Blue, everyone’s favourite Fräulein loves

I am really loving the latest Ellis Fass launch, the new shades of Creamy Eyes. As usual, Ellis created a stunning visual  for the campaign.

There are seven new shades which are: Navy Blue (E113), Bordeaux Red (E114), Purple (E115), Lilac (E116), Mint Green (E117), Light Blue (E118) and Yellow Ochre (E119).

The price is €26/$36/£23 and they will be available from

You may remember that I have been looking for Laura Mercier’s Bonne Mine palette everywhere. I have got it a long time ago so I have no idea why I never wrote a proper review on it yet.

I though it was a limited edition palette… But it is actually available at Sephora, where I’ve got it from, for $48.

The main idea why I’ve wanted it so much was to to have all-in-one face product. It saves so much space!

I love the classic white design with Laura’s signature on  top.

Here is how the colours inside look like. You get: 0.36 oz Bronzer Veil, 2 x 0.14 oz Cheek Veil and 2 x 0.14 oz Glow Veil.

You also get a detailed instructions on how to use everything and where is the best to use each product.

And what about the quality and my impression?

I am absolutely loving this new Laura Mercier Belle Nouveau makeup collection for summer 2012. It includes some very gorgeous pastel shades.

Although I don’t really wear pastel shades myself, I’d love to play with these eye shadows, they look amazing.

The baby pink and bright pink glosses –  something I’d like to have, too.

I have posted a photo of Clarins Crystal Balms (£16.50) of the Facebook page some time ago and a lot of you liked it so it’s time to share my impression finally.

These are the shades from Clarins Enchanted  makeup collection for summer 2012.

The shades are called: 01 Crystal Pink, 02 Crystal Violet, 03 Crystal Red and 04 Crystal Red. And they all look really beautiful, a true eye candy. Moreover, they have a tasty fruit scent to them! This is the kind of ‘accessory’ you are proud to take out of your bag for touch ups

Here they are in all their  glory! There is a ‘jelly’ like balm with a high pigmented gloss in the middle. They are a girls’ dream came true.
