IsaDora - Sugar Crush Nails Review

You know I love my nail varnish trends and over the past two years we have seen crackle nails, caviar nails, glow in the dark nails, nail stickers...and the list goes on and on! IsaDora are the latest to bring us the next big thing, Sugar Crush nails. The have launched their new textured nail polish range with ten fabulous shades that claim to last up to seven days.

You can purchase any of the ten Sugar Crush polishes from the Blanchardstown, Tallaght, Limerick and Rushmere Debenham stores around the country and in pharmacies nationwide. You are paying for 6ml of product which is free from formaldehyde, camphor, toluene and dibutyl phthalate (DBP). These are major chemicals you don't want to see in your nail polish. They have been linked to cancer, developmental/reproductive toxicity and allergies.


I was very lucky to receive three shades from the new collection at a recent IsaDora event, more about that in a future post my lovelies. I tried on Pink crush and called over two good friends to use as guinea pigs! I probably shouldn't use animal references when talking about testing beauty products! You will be happy to know that IsaDora do not test on animals.

The polish dries matte and an ingredient called Silica is what give Sugar Crush its Sugar like texture. Because of this I did not use a top coat as I felt it would take away from the whole look creating a smooth non matte effect. As you can see from the photo above I got four days wear out of these nails before I had to remove them so I cannot agree with the seven day claim. Perhaps with a top coat you would get more wear from them.

Pink Crush and Turquoise Crush both have large specks of glitter in them where as Pool crush is all matte and much finer. I really liked all three shades and if I had to choose my favourite out of the three I would have to say Pool Crush. Another shade in the collection is Coral Crush which I have my eye on, it is a finer texture like Pool Crush.

I'd love to know what do you think of these Sugar Crush nails?

Love,

Sarah

INGLOT NEWS - Colour Play Lipsticks and Inglot Addicts database

This week I had the opportunity to stop by my nearest INGLOT store in Blanchardstown shopping centre in Dublin for the launch of their new Colour Play Lipsticks and to sign up too their new addicts database. I was very excited to see what new products they had launched since my last visit. I've always loved INGLOT for their continued success for great quality, fun and vibrant collections.

Thank's to the lovely Aisling and Rachel (as pictured above) who happily volunteered me while I was off waffling I got to try some of the colour play lipsticks out, thanks girls! There's noting quite like sitting in front of a room full of bloggers and their cameras to remind me that I need to dress myself better for these sort of occasions!

The Colour play Lipsticks are not for the faint hearted, they are colourful and they are highly pigmented. You can get the entire collection of nine vibrant colours and a white shade for €68 as part of their freedom palette system. They cost €6 individually, isn't the freedom system wonderful. I personally would not be interested in the blue shades because I don't think they suit my skin tone, I do however love the pinks, coral and purples. With the Freedom system you can buy these in palettes of 2,3,4,5 and 10. Prices range from €18-€68.

The lipsticks felt very lightweight and moisturising on my lips. I was saying to the girls on the night that it felt like I had applied my regular nourishing lip balm. When you head in to your local INGLOT store be sure to check out the new Kohl eyeliner pencils which I got to see being demonstrated and looked perfect for blending into a smoky eye look.

While I was there I signed up the their Addicts Database which INGLOT started back in January, this means I can now avail of special offers and be invited to events such as the one I attended this week. You can sign up here online or in store. You do not have to be a make-up artist or a blogger to sign up and it's a great opportunity stay up to date with competitions, new product updates and avail of complimentary master classes.

Some people won't be fond of these bright lip colours but I love the idea of people being a bit wilder and getting away from those nude lip shades. Last year I tried my hand at going for brighter eye looks. Will this year be my year for daring bright lips? We shall see...

Love,

Sarah
