China Glaze Cirque Du Soleil Swatches

Posted on January 17, 2013 by phoenixbeautylounge

Hi everyone! More beautiful swatches for you. This is the China Glaze Cirque Du Soleil collection. This collection was inspired by the Cirque Du Soleil feature film, Worlds Away 3D.

Finally, here’s a swatch of the electric blue creme, Hanging In The Balance. Two coats were used to create a nice even coverage. It dried to an extremely glossy finish, no top coat came near the swatch you see above!

The whole collection is full of really fun and quirky bright shades. They even introduced some indie-like glitters such as Whirled Away. We personally really love It’s A Trap-Eze, a jam-packed yummy glitter and Running In Circles, a must-have for all the girls who love green polishes.

OPI Mariah Carey Swatches

Posted on January 17, 2013 by phoenixbeautylounge

Today we’re sharing some swatches of the OPI Mariah Carey collection! This collection features four of the amazing new Liquid Sand effect polishes. These are glitters that dry with a matte and textured finish. Sounds fun right? 😀 Let’s take a look!

IMG_6107small

This is the full eight-piece collection, it features four Liquid Sand glitters (pictured on the left), two shimmery polishes, a glitter and a creme polish.

IMG_6123small

From left to right: A Butterfly Moment, Sprung, Pink Yet Lavender, Anti-Bleak.

A Butterfly Moment: Frosty tan nude.
Sprung: Shimmery copper with orange and gold sparkles.
Pink Yet Lavender: Pink hex glitter with holo sparkles scattered through it.
Anti-Bleak: Deep purple creme.

IMG_6117small

From left to right: Stay The Night, Get Your Number, Can’t Let Go, The Impossible.

Stay The Night: Beautiful matte black glitter with magenta glitter sparkles.
Get Your Number: Matte ocean blue glitter with holographic glitter.
Can’t Let Go: Purple glitter with lavender sparkles.
The Impossible: Hot pink matte glitter with small and large hex glitter and star confetti glitter.

IMG_6033asmall

Finally here is a swatch of OPI The Impossible, using two layers. There’s tiny holographic hexagon glitters in this polish, as well as larger pink hexagon glitters and a few star glitters too! These star glitters are harder to fish out as they are heavier and sink to the bottom of the bottle, but before you apply, putting your bottle upside down for a few minutes will help a great deal!

This polish is such a beauty! The Liquid Sand textured effect is smoother than you would expect, it’s also easier to remove than regular glitter polish which is a nice bonus. In the sunshine this polish really comes to life though, it almost looks like there’s sugar on your nails! Very mesmerizing.

The full OPI Mariah Carey collection is now in stock with us at Phoenix Beauty Lounge.

New EcoTools Holiday 2013 Brush Sets

Posted on October 17, 2012 by phoenixbeautylounge

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to share with you guys two limited edition EcoTools brush sets that they came up with for Holidays 2013.

EcoTools Day-to-Night Clutch set (6-pcs)

EcoTools Day-to-Night Clutch set (6-pcs)

$25.99

If EcoTools brushes could be any softer, that’s exactly what’s happening with this beautiful limited edition brush set. Not only the feel of the brushes is feathery soft and is out of this world, the set contains 5 super-useful face brushes and a clutch with a nature-inspired pattern in brown and bronze. Also a nice touch is that each brush is labelled with it’s use, so no more doubts here. The set contains the following brushes:

– Round Powder Brush (feathery soft and yet firm and not squishy)
– Stay There Shadow Brush (flat tapered dense)
– Smudge Brush (short semi-dense bristles, dome shape)
– Pointed Concealer Brush (new trend in concealer application, bristles come to a point for detailed application, but the dome-shape allows for perfect blending and thin color distribution to avoid that cakey look)
– Detailed Lip/Liner Brush (small flat pointy brush)

EcoTools Merry Minis (3-pcs)

EcoTools Merry Minis (3-pcs)
$8.99

Perfect as a small gift or as an affordable add-on to your travel brush set. This set contains 3 brushes with short handle:

– Full Powder brush (can be used for powder, blush and even contouring if need be)
– Eye Shading Brush (medium head, flat, round shape)
– Angled Liner Brush (more narrow head than regular EcoTools angled eye liner brush, which allows for more detailed gel liner application)

EcoTools did a really great job on both of these sets (at a price of a steal) and i hope you enjoyed this little announcement 🙂

A England “The Gothic Beauties” Collection

Posted on September 6, 2012 by phoenixbeautylounge

We’re excited to have ordered new A-England collection 2012 called “Gothic Beauties”. It ties in wonderfully with the whole Gothic theme lots of fashion designers are going for this coming season, and also reflects some of England’s moods throughout its history, fiction and mythology… The polishes are named after famous characters, who suffered through their lives in one way or another.. The collection is a group of 5 subtly shimmering colours, with the brand’s ultra black shade ‘Camelot’ forming the backbone behind each hue. The collection is scheduled to arrive next week (possibly earlier than it will be available on their website). All polishes are part of our “We Love Nail Polish” promo deal! $14.99 each reg. price.
