China Glaze Avant Garden Collection Press Release & Promo Pictures

China Glaze Avant Garden Collection Press Release & Promo PicturesGuess what? The China Glaze Avant Garden Collection will be hitting stores in March!

This is the latest news coming down the China Glaze pipe, and I’m so excited to share it with you.

If you’ve been following my reviews, you’ll realize that China Glaze is one of my favourite nail-polish brands to wear and review. 🙂

The China Glaze Avant Garden Collection has a great variety of spring shades – there’s something for everyone!

Which am I the most excited for? Although there are many that catch my eye, the first 3 that made my heart race were Budding Romance (greeeeen fieeeend), Mimosas Before Manis (can’t get enough corals), and Fade Into Hue (I keep saying how there aren’t enough periwinkles!).

Which ones do you like the most?

Milani New 2013 Launch: Color Statement Lipstick & Color Statement Lipliner Press Release & Promo Pictures

8 Replies

Milani-Color-Statement-Lipstick-Lipliner-Press-Release-Promo-Pictures smallerMilani is a brand that creates a lot of trendy and affordable cosmetics.

I’ve had the pleasure of trying their fun nail polishes. I use their black striper polish in a lot of my nail art, but you’ve also seen me sport their coloured polishes in my posts about Chicken Drumstick Nails and Cookie Monster Nails.

But I’ve never tried any of their lip products. So when Milani’s PR sent me information about their new 2013 promotion, I became as curious as a cat.

For 2013, they’ve launched 2 new products in many shades:

  • Milani Color Statement Lipstick
  • Milani Color Statement Lipliner

I’m eager to see these in person because I’d like to experiment with bolder lip colours.

From the promo pictures, I’m especially curious about the pinks (because I’ll bet they’ll be fun for the spring) and the purples (because they’re so dramatic).

The lipsticks are advertised as being highly pigmented and lightweight, which sound appealing to me. And for those who pay close attention to the ingredients, you’ll notice that they’re also paraben-free.

Check out the rest of this post. I’ll share promo photos where you can see each product and the specific colours in greater detail.

OPI Disney’s Oz The Great and Powerful Collection Press Release & Promo Pictures Plus New Liquid Sand Shade

OPI Disney's Oz The Great and Powerful Collection Press Release & Promo PicturesThe Wizard of Oz is my favourite movie of all time, so when OPI’s PR sent me a press release about the upcoming limited-edition OPI Disney’s Oz The Great and Powerful Collection, my heart was racing!

Sure, I’m excited about the movie, but I’m equally curious about the nail polishes. (Of course. The day when I’m no longer excited about lacquer, please check my wrist for a pulse.) 😉

The collection includes OPI Soft Shades plus a brand new Liquid Sand addition! (You know that I went nuts over the Liquid Sands, so seeing another colour is really cool!)

Edit: I’ve posted some actual bottle shots on Instagram. The glitters are really interesting!

Zoya PixieDust Collection Press Release & Video Clip

Zoya PixieDust Press Release & Video Clip smallerIf you’re a fan of the latest matte-texture nail trend like I am, you’ll be excited to hear about Zoya PixieDust!

Yesterday when Zoya sent me the press release with new information on this, I was really curious to find out what colours they would be putting out.

I expect a lot from Zoya because they’re brave to explore new colour territory, and they’re always on the pulse of fashion trends.

In this special-edition collection, there are 6 Zoya PixieDust shades, and I was really happy to see that one of them is periwinkle! (I feel like there aren’t enough periwinkle polishes in general, and to have one with this unique texture would be really special!)

This post includes descriptions of each colour as well as a link to a video clip put together by Zoya that shows you how to apply PixieDust.

China Glaze Tranzitions Collection Press Release & Promo Pictures

China Glaze Tranzitions Collection Press Release & Promo PicturesWho says that two heads (or two polishes) are better than one? 😉

With the new China Glaze Tranzitions Collection, you get two amazing shades in a single bottle of nail polish!

Basically, you can transform the colour of any of these polishes by applying a clear top coat.

It’s a very cool concept, and this is going to facilitate easier nail art. I’m all for it!

Out of all the shades, the ones that appeal to me the most are Duplicity, Modify Me, and Altered Reality.

A few are heading my way, thanks to PR, so look out for my in-depth reviews soon!

P.S. Does anyone remember that old Sega game called Altered Beast? It was one of the few video games I enjoyed playing as a kid. (It was also one of the very few games I could play for more than a minute without dying. Haha!) The reason I’m bringing this up is because every time I saw “Altered Reality” in this press release, images of “Altered Beast” sprung to mind. Then my imagination ran wild and I had visions of a creme polish turning into a hairy polish…in true Altered-Beast form. 😉

Pretty Serious Cosmetics Christmas Without Snow Collection Press Release & Promo Pictures

14 Replies

Pretty-Serious-Cosmetics-Christmas-Without-Snow-Collection-Press-Release-Promo-Pictures smallerYesterday, I received the press release for the Pretty Serious Cosmetics Christmas Without Snow Collection!

It made me think about how I immediately associate snow with Christmas. Being a Canadian, winters often spell snow. (Last year, however, was pretty strange. We hardly got any snow, and the weather was extremely mild!)

I’m the type of person who likes to admire the snow…from inside where it’s cozy and warm. 😉 I dislike shovelling snow (I’m terrible at it), I feel the cold as though I’m an elderly woman, I can never fall asleep when my chicken feet are cold, and I’m really bad at skiing.

Yeah, maybe I need to move to California…or perhaps I need to put my pride aside and purchase a hot-water bottle to warm up my bed. *Thinks about it while knitting in a rocking chair* (Okay, I don’t have a rocking chair, but I’ve loved them ever since I was a little kid. Yes, I was born an old lady, I suppose…)

Going back to the Pretty Serious Cosmetics Christmas Without Snow Collection…It reminded me that not everyone associates snow with Christmas. In some places, it’s balmy. Maybe they make a ‘sandman’ instead of a ‘snowman’.

Of the 6 shades in the Christmas Without Snow Collection, the ones that excite me the most are Blue Gums on Boxing Day, Party by the Pool, Hot Summer Nights, and Seasonal Sunset. Haha, that’s practically the entire collection!
