Luv2Kiss Invisible Lip Liner Review

Posted on May 23, 2015August 12, 2015 by Adventures in Polishland

Happy Saturday! Today I’m excited to share with you a review of the Luv2Kiss Invisible Lip Liner. I’ve been looking to try out an invisible lip liner for the longest time, so it was perfect when I got the opportunity to test this one out for all of you. Let me go ahead and jump right into the review!

The Luv2Kiss Invisible Lip Liner is just what it sounds like – it’s a colorless lip liner that is designed to go with any lip product no matter the formula or color. The pencil is designed to prevent bleeding or feathering, and it even enhances the color of your lip product. Plus, it is long-lasting and free of any mineral oil, paraffin, preservatives, and animal-derived ingredients.

Here is a closer look at the Invisible Lip Liner. As you can see, the pencil itself appears white, but goes on clear. It has a light feeling that makes my lips feel a little waxy, but that truly locks in your lip color. I’m happy to report that I love this lip liner! It works with all sorts of lip products – glosses, balms, lipsticks, etc. I’ve used it so much that I’ve had to resharpen it for this blog post! I’m also impressed with its long-wearing formula, and I’m glad that it does not dry out my lips. It even makes it easier for me to apply my lip color because the product has something to stick to, if that makes any sense. I’m definitely reaching for this on a daily basis now!

All in all, I’m loving the Luv2Kiss Invisible Lip Liner and highly recommend it! It’s a fabulous and affordable price of $9.99 on the brand’s website HERE. I think this is a must in any makeup collection, and will be repurchasing it in the future for sure. Please let me know if you’re going to snag one in the comments!

My Holy Grail Manicure: Essie Butler Please and Different Dimension Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock

Posted on May 5, 2013August 12, 2015 by Adventures in Polishland

Happy Sunday! Today I wanted to share with you one of my favorite manicures of all time. I love it so much I am calling it my Holy Grail Manicure! In other words, this is the best of the best in terms of formula, color, polish names, and so on. Let me get right into the goodness and show you the polish!

First up is the gorgeous Butler Please from the Essie Winter Collection of 2012. Back in March I was in a bit of a “polish funk”. Nothing that I put on my nails was exciting me. Then, I got Butler Please, put it on, and my funk officially ended! Butler Please has a flawless formula that applies like a dream and is opaque in two coats. It is also a bright blue color that is just stunning! I am still blown away by how beautiful this color is. Butler Please has been compared to Nails Inc Baker Street, but this is truly unlike anything I own in my personal collection. This will definitely be my go to blue polish from now on. I can’t wait to use it again!

I was loving Butler Please so much that even when the tips were starting to show wear after several days, I made my manicure last longer by adding an amazing glitter top coat from the indie brand Different Dimension. I am a huge fan of the TV show the Big Bang Theory, and my mom kindly gave me the entire Big Bang collection that Different Dimension makes. I had a good feeling that Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock (RPSLS) would look great over Butler Please, and I think I made a great choice! RPSLS is a glitter top coat with a just a slightly blue tinted base, and filled with fine white glitter and white, light blue, light green, and grey hexagonal glitters. The formula is great, and the glitters apply with ease. I layered just one coat of RPSLS over Buter Please, and the result was just phenomenal! I could not stop staring at my nails when I had this manicure on.

All in all, I hope you enjoy my Holy Grail Manicure as much as I do! I love when nail polishes not only have a beautiful color, but a great formula as well. I also love that RPSLS is part of a collection based off of one of my favorite TV shows! There is just so much to love! Although Butler Please is no longer available in drugstores, you can purchase it on Amazon HERE. Make sure you head on over to the Different Dimension Etsy shop to purchase RPSLS and the other Big Bang Theory polishes HERE.

A England in Holy Grail (Limited Edition)

Posted on December 5, 2012August 12, 2015 by Adventures in Polishland

Today I have a beautiful polish to show you from the brand A England. This is the first polish I have ever tried from this brand, and I couldn’t be more excited. I have seen many gorgeous posts from other nail bloggers featuring A England, but because the company is located overseas (England, duh!), and the prices are a bit high, I didn’t expect to purchase any. I luckily came across a promo on Facebook a few weeks ago that offered the limited edition version of Holy Grail for a discounted price of £5 (around $8) and jumped at the chance to try it! Let me show you this gold polish.

Let me first explain that there are three different versions of A England Holy Grail. There is the old version, the new version, and this one — the limited edition! Each color varies, so I just want to make sure everyone knows this is the limited edition. Holy Grail is a gold polish with hints of orange shimmer. It is definitely a yellow gold tone. I loved the formula — it was opaque in two coats and dried quickly. Although I have a lot of gold nail polishes in my collection, Holy Grail is quite different from the rest. It is much brighter, and more of a jewel tone than other golds I’ve tried before. Definitely something unique to have in your stash!

If you would like to try A England Holy Grail, the limited edition is still on sale for just £5! This is a big discount from the usual A England price of £9 ($14.50). Here is the direct link to that polish on the company’s website: CLICK ME! You can also follow A England on Facebook HERE to find out about more promotions!
