I Sea You


A few weeks back I was writing about my new bargain cosmetics find in the european brand Catrice. I am yet to try out their eyeshadows and lip range but yet again I got sucked in by their nail polishes.

This is my new colour. It is a beautiful peacock colour called I Sea You. It looks amazing on the nail, really rich and glossy and again I was reminded of the richness of the pigment for such a low price nail colour.

I have a habit of always choosing pinks and corals for my nails so this is quite a brave choice for me.

I have added some swatches  so you can see the colour on and I will aim to try out some more cosmetic from this brand since these have awakened my curiosity to see if the rest of the collection is as good as it looks.

Feeing Blue

I have just discovered the fantastic new makeup range from Catrice. I had read about it on a few other make-up bogs but then i found it in a pharmacy in Dublin. My first Impression was the fantastic pricing of this range. It had a retail price cheaper than Rimmel, which in these tight times is exacty what a girl needs.

The  packaging is also fantastic, it's not cheap or tacky but actually has a failry expensive look and would attract the eye regardsless of whether you have already seen the price or not. I was fairly dubious about whether the product quality would be good though so I bought a nail polish to try as an experiment. Only 2.49 euro!!!



It comes in a very classy little glass bottle with a black lid and the subtle Catrice branding on the side. I chose colour 410 "Pool Party at Night". A pretty cute name I think. Its a royal blue colour. The consistency was surprisingly good. It wasn't oo runny or thick and one coat would have been adeqate but I did two for good measure. In comparison to the Rimmel lowest price nail polish it wins out everytime. I find Rimmel too watery and ALWAYS need a second coat no matter what. Plus the packaging of Catrice looks much more expensive.



I would be keen to check out more products from this range like the eyeshadow quads for 4.49 euro or lipsticks which are only 3.99 euro. Bargains!

Here is the link to the website so you can check this range out fo ryourself!
