On My Nails: Foie Gras from the China Glaze Capitol Colours - Hunger Games Collection

Hey all, 

I know, I know; I should be patient and wait until I make my China Glaze Capitol Colours - Hunger Games Collection post...but I needed to share! 

I love the Hunger Games trilogy, I love the movie and I love the polish collection; but most of all, I love this shade. Although the name represents a French delicacy I personally am not too fond of, that's the only thing about this colour that doesn't tickle my fancy. 

Foie Gras represents Disctrict 10 - Livestock of the Hunger Games and is a gorgeous dark, muted, brown-mauve shade. It could be described as a deep taupe with a hint of purple.

As all China Glaze polishes, it is 3 free. It also applies well, is easy to work with and is relatively long-lasting. 

Fabulously beautiful and office friendly! What more could a girl want? 

Have you tried any shades from the Hunger Games collection? Did you buy them all (like me)? 

What shades do you like wearing to the office? 

Hope you all have a great night! xx

Bargain Alert! BYS Metallics Browns Palette Review

Hey all, 

I know how much we all love a bargain, so I thought I would share the latest cheap but fabulous product I  have stumbled upon recently. For those of you who live in Australia, you may have seen the BYS brand stocked in K-Mart. All of their products are ridiculously cheap, and until now I have steered away from them. 

My decision to try BYS came after I saw a friend wearing a gorgeous gold shade of eyeshadow, and of course, I was dying to know where it was from! She informed me that it was from an 8 shadow eyeshadow palette from BYS. Ta-dah! My entire opinion changed in a second, it's funny how these things work! 

So, I ran off to the store and purchased the BYS Metallics Palette in Browns, which is an 8 shadow palette comprised of gorgeous metallic gold and brown shades. ONLY $5 wonderful people! It also comes in a purples and a smoky palette. 

What I Love

- Beautiful, on trend colours 

- Great pigmentation for the cost 

- Just the right amount of shimmer 

- Sleek packaging, easy to store and transport 

What I Am Not So Crazy About 

- Has a talc smell about it (it may just be me as I have a highly sensitive sense of smell)

- Slightly messy - need to make sure that you tap the excess off the brush before application
- It isn't stocked everywhere and can be a bit of a pain to find (especially for those of us who live in the middle of the city & a while away from K-Mart)

I also thought that I would chuck in a picture of how bright they look on my fingers after swatching! 

How pigmented are they for a $5 palette! I cannot get over it! 

Cost: $5 AUD

Where to Buy: BYS is stocked at K-Mart Australia wide, and can also be purchased online at:
