Another great collaboration right now

Is of course the Guerlain by Emilio Pucci collection for summer 2012.

Because I must admit, packaging matters to me. A lot. Sometimes I'll save the packaging if I can, even if I wasn't that pleased with the product itself, and the look of the Guerlain by Emilio Pucci products is just amazing!

I especially want to get the bronzer, that is supposed to help you get a radiant, refreshed and sunkissed look. Sounds great to me!

Another nail polish collection I am absolutely loving right now

Is the OPI Vintage Minnie Mouse Collection.

Partly because I've always found Minnie to be incredibly chic (yes, really!) and partly because I really like these types of reds and pinks for nails, both on my hands and on my feet.

So I will definitely be getting these!

The nail polishes I want to try next

Are of course the NARS polishes that they have gotten some help by Thakoon with creating.

Very fun colors, and perfect for summer!

My favorite nail polish right now

Turquoise and Caicos, by Essie.
I tried this for the first time quite recently, when I did a manicure and pedicure at a salon. And boy, have I been getting compliments for this shade! So it seems I am not the only one who likes it.

Definitely a shade I can recommend!

Review: MAC Studio Fix Fluid Foundation

As I mentioned before, I got quite a few things from MAC a while ago, and among other things, I decided to give one of their foundations a try, mostly because I haven't really found the perfect foundation for me yet.

The foundation that was recommended to me, based on my skin type, was the Studio Fix Fluid, in a shade called NW15 (since my skin is very fair) and I was initially very pleased with it.

You don't need to use a lot of this foundation for it to cover everything completely, and the result looks quite good, yet natural at the same time, I must say.
However, the bad thing about this foundation is that it doesn't really last a full day, like some other foundations I am used to. So this bothered me a bit, but besides that, I definitely like this foundation. The Studio Fix Fluid is kind of expensive though (at least where I bought mine, in a MAC store), so I think you might be able to find more durable foundations for the same price.

I also tried the MAC Studio Fix Fluid with the MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural Powder and with one of the MAC brushes (the MAC 187). While the brush was kind of useless for this, because of the brush itself, I believe, the powder really looks great with this foundation, so I can really recommend using them together.

Review: Anatomicals The Follicle Oracle Frequent Wash Shampoo

I really like Anatomicals' products, and I have reviewed several of them before (see here and here). Since I have been so pleased with almost every Anatomicals product I've tried before, I am also keen on trying more of them, so recently I got the Anatomicals The Follicle Oracle Frequent Wash Shampoo over at ASOS.

Having had a chance to try it now, I have to say this shampoo is not as special as some of Anatomicals' other products, but it's not bad. It's just a very basic shampoo, nothing to be either dissapointed or extremely happy with. I actually wanted to try it since it is supposed to be for hair that is frequently washed, but I must say I couldn't really tell a difference between this shampoo or any other when it came to the results.

So if you are looking for really special shampoo, don't get this, but if a basic bottle will do for you, this will work just fine.

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural Powder

I mentioned in a previous post that I had been shopping at MAC recently. One of the products I got was the MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural Powder, so I thought I should share my views on this powder with you guys.

First of all, the powder really covers well, and you don't even have to use very much of it to get a great result. However, if you accidentally do use slightly too much, the result will be quite bad. (I did this mistake myself)
So I really like this powder, even though I am not usually too big on powders, but this really does make your skin look flawless if used right. You really have to apply it carefully though. I got one of MACs brushes to apply it with (read more about that here), and that seems to be the best way to apply it indeed, so I do recommend that if you intend to get this powder.
