Glamour Doll Eyes Born Of Illusion Collection

Hi Everyone!!!!

I am here today to show you the new collection that Glamour Doll Eyes will be releasing May 15th, 2013! The collection is in collaboration with Author Teri Brown. Teri actually contacted me a while back to come up with something very special for this collection, which will also be released May 15th so make sure to keep a lookout for that ;-) I will post it here on my Blog, Twitter, and Facebook!

The Born Of Illusion Collection consists of 3 eye shadows, which are inspired by the book that will be releasing in June!

Now onto the swatches!

• All eye shadows are swatched over GDE Control Freak Primer.
• Photos taken in artificial light with no flash unless stated.
• The only photo editing done was exposure adjustment, cropping, and straightening of photos.

Deception is a gorgeous slate gray shadow with multidimensional shimmer throughout.

Levitation is a deep blue with blue shimmer throughout.

Illusion is a gorgeous white with a purple iridescence to it; it's one of my favorite shadows that Glamour Doll Eyes has come out with!

Are you planning to pick up this collection? I would highly recommend reading the book! It's absolutely fantastic and a great read :)

New Julie G (Jesse's Girl) Frosted Gum Drops Textured Nail Polishes!

Hey Everyone!!!

I am very excited for this post because it is featuring the brand new Julie G Frosted Gum Drops Textured Nail Polishes that were recently released by Jesse's Girl Cosmetics! These nail polishes are textured polishes with a kick! They look just like Gum Drops and have a gorgeous sparkle to them! I purchased mine during the pre-order sale that Jesse's Girl had, where the entire collection was $20.01.

To apply these polishes, you really only need 1 coat and you would be good! I used two just because I always apply two coats whenever I apply polish. The staying power for these polishes

There are six nail polishes in this collection:

• Tangerine Dream
• Sugar Rush
• Hot Cinnamon
• Crushed Candy
• Blueberry Fizz
• Rock Candy

Now on to some swatches!

• All photos were taken in artificial lighting with flash.

Left to Right: Tangerine Dream, Sugar Rush, Hot Cinnamon, Crushed Candy, Blueberry Fizz, & Rock Candy

Hot Cinnamon

As for the removal of these polishes..... I tried both the soaking method (cotton ball soaked in acetone and wrapped in tin foil) and just rubbing the polish off with an acetone soaked cotton ball and both ways worked amazingly! Obviously soaking the nails is a bit easier but honestly, these polishes are not difficult to remove at all! I found them to be much easier to remove than standard glitter polishes (which made me VERY happy!)!

These polishes are sold out on the Jesse's Girl website but keep an eye out for them at your local Rite Aid stores, as they should be in stores soon!

These polishes retail for $3.99 each!

Were you able to get your hands on these polishes? Which are your favorites?
