Beauty ponders

The last couple of days the weather is becoming darker and rainy and such, so does my polish mood. I decided to put on a muddy fall colour... I bought this polish by Catrice a while back, when I was doing my giveaway but hadn't used it yet. It is supposed to be a look-a-like for Chanel Particuliere, well judge for yourself, here she is:

When applying I was really impressed with the coverage: one thick layer offers enough coverage. I only put up 2 layers on my thumb and ringfinger as they are a bit larger. Application went really smooth, no struggle at all and it has a lovely finish to it as well. Tiny downside: I'm on my third day of wearing the polish and it's starting to show on the tips and sides of my nails - even though I have a topcoat on. But that's just a minor something, as this polish is really cheap.

As I promised here's my blogsale, there's more than I thought. Rules are really simple: if you're interested in an item, send me a mail on beautyponder@hotmail.com, first come first served. I'll try and reply quickly.

I'm prepared to ship international, keep in mind I live in Belgium - Europe. Some of these items can be send in a bubble envelope (between 2-10euro for Europe), others in packages, off course packages cost more (between 5-10euro for Europe). If you want to know the exact shipping for some items or if you live outside Europe, just send me a mail and I'll reply them.

Every item has been cleaned and jars have always been used with a spatula. As an extra, everyone who purchases something also gets some free samples (perfume, skincare). The more you purchase, the more samples...

Today a quick haul as I'm a busy bee. At the moment I'm cleaning out my closset 'cause I will be putting up a blogsale soon, so be sure to check-in this week. The last weeks I haven't bought much *good girl*, just a couple of things to share...

I did an order with Beautyexpert, a new UK based shop I found which I recommend - has a lot of great brands, for 3 things: first up is a day lotion SPF30 from Peter Thomas Roth -this is actually for my boyfriend, not for me-, a Nude cleansing facial oil which was on my list -curious to see whether I like it more than my Dermalogica one and BrowMousse by Tweezerman as I'm still searching for a good clear eyebrowgel. Along with the order I got a nice catalogue and 2 samples:


Anything catches your eye, let me know!

I love nudes, I can't and/or won't be left behind so I gave in and ordered this beauty - no, not the cat - I'm really anxious and can't wait to have it in my hands...
Available for preorder on HQhair for about 34euros, great site for us European girls, use discount code COMPANYHQ for a 20% off!

It's been a while since I put up a NOTD because of my tiny accident. I just didn't feel comfortable putting on a polish. It's still very tiny so I took a picture of my other hand, yes I'm that vein. Because of the pink ribbon month I decided to opt for a pink colour, one of my favourites. This was one of the first OPI polishes I bought *sentimental* and I've used it quite heavily, more than half empty as you can see. It's getting difficult to get a decent amount out of it, it's also becoming very thick and it was tricky to apply. Anyone else got this problem with a creme colour?
I used 2 thick layers but if you like heavier coverage or a more intense colour you could do with 3. This is a really light pink, gorgeous nude, that doesn't scream "barbie" which often is the problem of pink polishes.

Which are your favourite pinks?
