My Essie colours

I have a fashion or rather a beauty - confession to make. Until two weeks ago, I really didn't believe in paying more than a couple of Euros for nail polish. I don't know why, there was just something so ridiculous with the idea of spending anything between 11€ and 25€ on a small pot of colour. So I brought H&M nail polish, HEMA nail polish and any other cheap stuff I could get my hands on. Don't get me wrong I like these brands but they really shouldn't be doing nail polish. No only was the stuff useless - I can now say that - in that it always came off, but it completely ruined my nails.

So when the first Deauty box arrived at my door and inside was a lovely pot of red nail polish, I was very intrigued to try it out. Let me tell you it was blissful. What a tragic discovery I had just made, I could sense this was going to come and bite me in the backside. That it did, of course now it's all about the 'good stuff' and that doesn't come cheap. Clearly, sometimes the price does explain the quality and effectiveness of the products - sadly this is not always entirely true. I was also tempted to try out the product many have been raving about - the Drip Dry by OPI, and it does indeed work wonder, a few drops and your nails are instantly dry.

So here are the colours I have been wearing this Autumn and winter. From left to right: Sew psyched, Chinchilly, Angora cardi and Lint candy apple.

What are you winter colours and what brands do you use?

The Deauty box

Monthly boxes that are delivered to your doorset every month are all the craze right now. Whether these contain wine, food, clothes, pet products, jewelry, shoes or even new beauty products to try out. A couple of these types of boxes have finally arrived to Belgium, which I am very excited about.

The idea is fairly simple: pay every month 15€ - or pay once yearly - and you receive a gorgeous box full of new products to try out. I really like the idea of paying a small fee every month and having a box full of goodies delivered to my doorstep. This month the lovely people over at Deauty sent me their first box and it was all but disappointing. It is full of great new products to try out, products that I would probably never think about trying or brands I have never gotten to know. For one, I am really curious to try out the Mythic Oil by L'Oréal Professionnel, as well as the Nuxe rose water. I will let you know - my un-expert opinion that is - what I think about the products as I try them along the way . One thing is for sure, you definitely get your money's worth and what a great present it would make - one year of new products to discover and try.

On another note, I am delighted to annonce that the winner of the 100€ voucher to spend over at Julshoes is Elza Soko. Congrats, you will be hearing from us soon!
