MOST LOVED | February '16 - Hask Essentials, L'Oreal, Kleancolor + Clinique

MOST LOVED | February '16 - Hask Essentials, L'Oreal, Kleancolor + Clinique - CassandraMyee

Another month for 2016 done and dusted, so, of course, that means another Most Loved. This month I tried out a load of new products, but these few were the standouts...

SHOP MISS A | Huge $1 Beauty Haul, Swatches + First Impressions

SHOP MISS A | Huge $1 Beauty Haul + Swatches - CassandraMyee

Why yes, you did indeed read that title correctly - everything in this haul only cost USD $1 (about NZD $1.50). It's not often you can find things these days for this cheap but Shop Miss A have everything on their website for only $1 - I mean, it's slightly ridiculous! On the site is not only beauty things, but you can also get jewellery, hair bits and accessories too, and it's all crazily cheap. 

NOTD | Kleancolor Grape Burst + Factorie Moulin Rouge Glitz

NOTD // Kleancolor Grape Burst + Factorie Moulin Rouge Glitz - CassandraMyee

Today's NOTD could not be any more girly, with pink on pink with lots of added glitter to the mix!

KLEANCOLOR | Nail Polish Haul + Swatches

KLEANCOLOR // Nail Polish Haul + Swatches [from Postie] - cassandramyee

My collection of Kleancolor polishes seems to growing at a bit of a rapid rate now that I have been finding more shades are available at Postie! It seems whenever I go in there I come out with at least one, and on this particular occasion I came out with three, I mean they were on sale and were only $3 each!

NOTD | OPI Pamplona Purple + Kleancolor Chunky Holo Purple

NOTD // OPI Pamplona Purple + Kleancolor Chunky Holo Purple - cassandramyee

Pamplona Purple from OPI was actually one of the very first OPI nail polishes I bought and it definitely fueled an addiction to the brand soon after. I decided to give it a whirl on the nails again but had to add a bit of glitter just to spruce up the colour a bit.

BEAUTY JOINT | Haul #001 [Feat. e.l.f. + Kleancolor]


Of course I have been online shopping again and this time off a site I have always looked at but never brought from. Beauty Joint is a US based site and has things at crazy cheap prices with an amazing range of different brands. I had been hesitant to buy as shipping always seemed a little steep, but I think it has got much cheaper. It goes by weight and depends on how much you buy - the thing I love about the site is you can see your cart on the left side bar and can calculate the shipping right there and then for all countries - generally you get about 5 different shipping option at various prices.

For example, one Kleancolor polish at USD $1.75 with the cheapest shipping option to NZ is United States Postal Service Standard for USD $4.78. If you want it super fast, there is also an option which was USD $52.00 (!!), which is just ridiculous if you ask me.

I was amazingly impressed with the shipping for my 5 items - I paid just under $10 and it arrived literally in a week on the dot with the cheapest shipping option! It is well worth checking the site out and after such a great first experience, I will be buying a lot more off there in the future! Now onto what I got this order...

MINI MANI #008 | KLEANCOLOR 'Be My Daydream' Sweet Romance Mini Collection


We have come to the very last post in my Mini Mani Series, and last but no least is the Kleancolor 'Be My Daydream' Sweet Romance mini set. You get 6 mini polishes, all in the Valentine theme and it is a nice mix of cream colours and glitters.

MINI MANI #007 | KLEANCOLOR 'What Girls Really Talk About' Glitter Mini Collection


Day #7 has rolled around for Mini Mani Week and I have another Kleancolour set to share. Similarly to yesterday's I purchased this from Postie for NZD $10.00 and again the name is a little bit cheesy, but I'll go with it because these glitter polishes are pretty great!

MINI MANI #006 | KLEANCOLOR 'Oh Yes, I Do' Bridal Essence Mini Collection


Day #6 and moving onto the Kleancolor Mini sets - the first one being the Bridal Essence collection. I have to say straight off the bat, the names for the Kleancolor sets are pretty cheesy, but they do come with some great colours! I've only really got into Kleancolor nail polishes this year as they are a little difficult to get in NZ and can be really overpriced. I usually get them from Postie, and this set was only $10.00, which I thought was good for 6 mini bottles of polish.

THE MINI MANI WEEK BEGINS

This is just a quick wee post to mark the start of what I have dubbed 'Mini Mani Week' -  each day, starting on Sunday (tomorrow),  I will feature a collection/set of mini nail polishes. I realised I owned quite a few mini polish bottles, so why not make a week of it?! Included in each pos…

NOTD | French Inspired Nail Art Design



This weekend my parents celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary with a French themed party, so some French inspired nails were in order! I went blue, white and red with a flag as an accent nail and with some glitter for a bit of glam.

They were pretty simple to do, for the flag nail I put white all over and then used a strip of tape through the middle then added the blue at the base and red at the tip.

KLEANCOLOR | Nail Polish Haul + Swatches


Kleancolor nail polishes aren't a brand that can be found much in NZ, you can buy off eBay (but shipping can be ridiculous sometimes!) or sometimes at the $2 shops, but now Postie stocks them! They don't have the best selection, but it depends on what one you go to and you can hit the jackpot like I did the other day!
