Zoya Flash and Sparkle
Zoya är ett av mina favoritmärken när det kommer till nagellack. Urtjusiga färger, lättlackade, snabbtorkande och hållbara. Tyvärr är det lite småknepigt att få tag i Zoya i Sverige (det finns dock en butik i Göteborg som säljer Zoya), och min hovleverantör Trans Design har tyvärr inte märket i sitt sortiment så det blir att beställa från eBay för min del. Nåja, det fungerar ju det med, och årets sommarkollektion Flash and Sparkle från Zoya är något jag definitivt kommer spana närmare på när den släppts!
Zoya har lite av en tradition att lansera sommarkollektioner i två delar som balanserar varandra. Förra året var det Truth or Dare, med vampiga respektive lättburna och oskyldiga lack, och Flash and Sparkle består av två av årets heta trender när det kommer till nagellack: krämiga pastellack och galna glitterlack.
Release date: April 2010

Flash Collection
- Robyn - perfect turquoise cream
- Perrie – soft lavender cream
- Dana – american rose cream
- Jolene – summer pink cream
- Maura – electric crimson cream
- Jancyn – soft tangerine cream

Sparkle Collection
- Ivanka – mermaid green sparkling metallic
- Charla – tropical blue sparkling metallic
- Mimi – royal purple sparkling metallic
- Alegra – fuchsia pink sparkling metallic
- Nidhi – rich red sparkling metallic
- Gilda – fashion pink sparkling metallic

Den suveräna svenska nagellack-prenumerationstjänsten Nail Mail tog in Truth or Dare förra året, så jag håller tummarna att så även blir fallet i år med Flash and Sparkle!
Vilka lack är ni sugna på? Jag suktar främst efter glitterlacken tror jag eftersom jag beställde en hel del pasteller från China Glaze-kollektionen Up and Away. Ivanka, Charla, Mimi och Nidhi är jag riktigt nyfiken på!
In English: Zoya is one of my favourite nail polish brands. Gorgeous colours, easy to work with, fast drying and durable. Unfortunally, Zoya is a bit hard to come by in Sweden (there is a shop in Gothenburg that sells them for an outrageous price though), and my usual supplier Trans Design doesn't have Zoya in their range so I have to order them off eBay. Oh well, I guess that works for me, and this year's summer collection Flash and Sparkle is definately something I will have a closer look on once it have been released!
Zoya have a bit of a tradition to launch summer collections in tow parts that balance each other. Last year was Truth or Dare, with vampy and innocent polishes respectively, and Flash and Sparkle consists of two of this year's nail polish trends: creamy pastels and crazy glitter polishes.
Are you curious about any of the polishes from this collection? I'm mostly all over the glitters since I ordered quite a few pastels from the China Glaze collection Up and Away. I really want to take a closer look at Ivanka, Charla, Mimi and Nidhi!

China Glaze sommaren 2010 - Poolside
Inför varje sommar brukar China Glaze släppa en kollektion med starka färger. Förra årets kollektion Kicks var faktiskt det som fick mig att fastna så för nagellack! I år heter sommarkollektionen Poolside, och består av sex stycken neon-lack.
China Glaze Poolside
Release date: April 1st 2010

Lounging poolside, sipping on a drink and reading the latest magazine…makes you think of Summer doesn’t it? The only thing missing is that perfect manicure and pedicure! Dip into the summer with some of the brightest and most amazing neons from the China Glaze Poolside collection! Perfect for fingers, and especially the toes, nothing says Summer of 2010 like a couple coats of bright polish! The 6 colors in the Poolside collection include:
- Pool Party - Neon Pink
- Flip Flop Fantasy - Neon Coral
- Sun Worshipper - Neon Orange
- Yellow Polka Dot Bikini - Neon Yellow
- Kiwi Cool-Ada - Neon Green
- Towel Boy Toy - Neon Blue

Scrangie har redan swatchat färgerna, och lacken är beräknade att släppas nu någon gång under våren. Jag har läst februari i vissa bloggar och första april hos andra, men det blir väl till att hålla utkik hos transdesign helt enkelt =) Jag vill ha kiwi-coolada, sun worshiper och yellow polka dot bikini! Tänk på att neonlack har en tendens att torka till en halvmatt finish, så ett bra överlack är bra att ha till dessa.
Update: Fick nyss pressinformation om kollektionen från China Glaze: den är beräknad att släppas den första april =)
In English: Each summer, China Glaze usually launches a collection with bright colours. Last year's collection Kicks was acctually the thing that made me crazy about nail polish! This year's summer collection is called Poolside, and consists of six neon polishes.

Scrangie has already swatched the shades, and they will launch some time during this spring. I've read everything between february and april in different blogs, so I guess I'll have to keep a lookout at transdesign =) I want kiwi-coolada, sun worshiper and yellow polka dot bikini! Bear in mind that neons tends to dry to a semi-matte finish, so make sure to use a good top coat with these.
Update: I just got some press info from China Glaze: The collection will launch on April 1st!

I think it's a bit boring with these collection with all permanent products... Couldn't they at least have added one new or LE product?! I'll join team NO for this collection.

What do you think about this collection? I like the color scheme, allthough it is a bit "meh". The eyeshadows memorabilia and gazette grey catched my eye, and chromagraphic pencil in NC15/NW20. I'm not too fond of wearing stark white pencils on my waterline to create the impression of a more awake eye, it's too hars against my eyes, so this will probably create a softer result!

Sigh.

Lipstain markers purposefully red and full of flare, greasepaint sticks greengrease, zinc zone and slick black plus the pearlglide pencil undercurrent are all at the top of my wish list!

MAC - Too Fabulous collection
I mars kommer det många nya kollektioner, det kanske är därför svenska MAC har bestämt sig för att inte ta in Riveting... Too Fabulous heter en av kollektionerna, och den är inspirerad av glass.

Oooh, promobilden med rougen gör riktigt så att det vattnas i munnen på mig! =D Jag älskar cremesheen-glossen från MAC, och mineralize-rougen börjar falla mig mer och mer på läppen ju mer jag använder dom. De som släpptes förra sommaren var helt hemskt glittriga däremot, men dessa ser ut att vara mer i min smak med enbart lite lyster i... Rhapsody in two och Two virtues gör mig enormt sugen!
In English: March offers us quite a few MAC collections, maybe that's why Swedish MAC won't bring us Riveting... Too Fabulous is one of the collection, and it's inspired by ice cream. I love ice cream and I love MAC, what's not to like? Several of these products look really yummy to me!
Oooh, the promo picture with the blushes really make my mouth water =D I love the cremesheen glasses from MAC, and I'm really getting into the mineralize blushes more and more. The ones that were released last year were awfully glittery though, but these seem to be more in my taste with a more lustre formula... Rhapsody in two and Two virtues looks so pretty!

In English: Remember the sneak peak picture I posted a while ago of the ugly product packaging from the MAC 2010 summer collection? The collection is called To the beach, and though it's not quite as huge as last year's Style Warriors, it does contain quite a few products. Lustre drops will make a comeback with this collection!
I don't know, I'm acctually really put off from the extremely ugly packaging... The green is just hideous, while the orange would be more OK if there hadn't been for the white print. There are a few products from the permanent range that are being repromoted which I find a bit boring, and the only thing tempting me so far is the highlight powder (even though it's in a ugly green compact). What do you think about this collection?

Glossy images of leggy, Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall -of-Fame uber-models are as riveting, ravishing – and relevant – as ever.

Sluuuta MAC, jag kommer bli ruinerad! Speciellt de tre första minikollektionerna lockar mig något enormt, det är bara dags att börja spara då med andra ord.... Är lite nyfiken på crushed metal pigment, hur dom ser ut och beter sig på huden och vad dom kostar. Är inte jätteförtjust i stack jars men är produkten bra till ett okej pris kan jag mycket väl tänka mig att köpa ett set eller båda! Jag gillar promobilderna för den här kollektionen också, riktigt fina. Vad säger ni om den här kollektionen, bu eller bä?
In English: Christmas hasn't passed by yet, but the cosmetic companies are already releasing info about the spring collections. The 2010 spring collection from MAC is called Spring colour forecast collection and consists of 4 mini collections with a colour theme in each. Two new products are being launched; Blush ombre and Crushed metal pigments.
MAC, you're torturing my wallet! Especially the three first mini collections are really tempting, I have to start saving money now. I'm a bit curious about crushed metal pigment, how they look and act on the skin and also what the pricing will be. I'm not a huge fan of stack jars but if there's a good product for a reasonable price, I might consider picking up one or two of the sets. I really like the promo pictures for this collection aswell, really pretty. What do you say about this collection, yay or nay?

MAC - All Ages, All Races, All Sexes Collection
I början av 2010 släpper MAC ytterligare en kollektion med basprodukter för ansiktet och jordnära nyanser på ögonskuggor, läppglans och läppstift. I och med den här kollektionen kommer även förpackningen på pigmentburkarna att göras om; från den större plastburken på 7.5 gram till en mindre och högre glasburk på 4.5 gram som påminner om nagellacksflaskorna.

Det babyrosa läppglanset låter som att det kan vara jättefint. Jag är däremot lite less på bruna och jordnära färger nu, jag vill ha en kollektion med lite färg i! Och det är nog dags att börja köpa på sig de pigment jag vill ha om dom ska göra om förpackningarna, eftersom de mindre kommer kosta lika mycket som de nuvarande större...
In English: In the beginning of 2010, MAC releases yet another collection with basic products and earthy tones for the eyes and lips. From this collection and forward, the pigment jars will also be re-designed; the bigger 7.5 gram plastic jars will be replaced by smaller 4.5 gram glass jars that reminds me of the nailpolish bottles.
The baby pink lipglass sounds like it have the potential to be gorgeous. Allthough I'm pretty tired of browns and neutrals by now, I want a collection with a bit of colour! And I'll probably have to start buying the pigments I want if they're re-designing the packaging since the smaller will costs as much as the current bigger ones...

MAC - Love Lace collection
Lagom till årsskiftet släpper MAC en kollektion inspirerad av spets, där sotade ögon står i fokus och den populära svarta kajalpennan Feline gör återigen en comeback. Det här är definitivt en kollektion i min smak, jag älskar sotningar med lite färg i och kollektionsbilderna är sjukt läckra!

Ögonskuggorna Hypnotizing och Love Lace kommer nog att få följa med mig hem, ihop med läppglanset Icescape som jag skippade med Chill-kollektionen i början av året. Är det något som lockar er från den här kollektionen?
In English: Right before New year's, MAC releases a collection inspired by lace, where smoky eyes are in the spotlight and the famous black kohl pencil Feline returns once again. This is definately a collection in my taste, I love smoky eyes with a bit of colour and the promo pics are just gorgeous!
The eyeshadows Hypnotizing and Love Lace will probably come with me home, together with the lipglass Icescape that I skipped when it was released with the Chill collection earlier this year. Do you want anything from this collection?

L'oréal Studio Secrets Professional
Studio Secrets Professional är L’oréals första kompletta, professionella makeup-serie med ett integrerat utbildningskoncept, utvecklad i samarbete med makeupartister och modellen Linda Evangelista.
Tanken bakom serien är att göra professionella makeupprodukter och tekniker tillgängliga för alla kvinnor världen över.

Studio Secrets Professional kommer att säljas exklusivt på Kicks och lanseras i Sverige den 8 Februari 2010.
L'oréal Studio Secrets Professional
Release date: February 8th 2010 (Sweden)

Smoothing resurfacing primer (225 SEK)
Denna primer är inspirerad av professionell makeup och maskerar rynkor och ojämnheter i hudytan så att din hud blir otroligt slät och mjuk med en fantastisk, silkeslen känsla.
En lättflytande, silikoniserad olja gör det lätt och behagligt att applicera basen utan att huden blir fet.
Primern kan användas ensam eller tillsammans med en foundation, och garanterar dig en perfekt hy!
Tips: Applicera Smoothing Resurfacing Primer på de områden som ligger i skugga, som ögats nedre kontur, och på de mindre släta områdena som pannan och näsvingarna, samt på läpparnas konturer för att hålla läppstiftet på plats.
Anti-shine mattifying primer (195 SEK)
Bort med glansighet! Den här concealern är behaglig, mattgörande och tar bort glansighet – den perfekta kombinationen. Den är lätt att applicera, behaglig att ha på huden och ger ett förbluffande resultat: hudens finish blir matt, slät och silkeslen, som genom ett trollslag!
Tips: Applicera Anti-Shine Mattifying Primer med små rörelser på de glansiga områdena (pannan, näsan, hakan) och runt näsan och stryk ut produkten mot ansiktets yttre delar.
Secret No. 2: Correct & Restore
Anti-redness primer (195 SEK)
Alla kvinnor kan utöva magi med concealer för att ge en illusion av en hudfärg utan ojämnheter. Det gäller bara att följa komplementfärgernas lag: för att neutralisera en nyans måste man applicera dess komplementnyans. I det här fallet är det grönt som upphäver det röda och ger huden en jämn färg.
Anti-dull skin primer (195 SEK)
- Light skin
- Medium skin
Tips: För en hälsosam glow effekt: före foundation applicerar du ett par små klickar primer i pannan, näsan, kinderna och hakan.
Secret No. 3: Unify & Perfect
High definition smoothing foundation (245 SEK)
Tack vare High Definition Smoothing Foundation med precisionsborste finns stjärnlooken numera inom räckhåll. Denna foundation passar perfekt för normal till torr hy. Den fångar ljuset och formar ansiktet för ett silkeslent, jämnt och strålande resultat värdigt en make up artist. En precisionsborste som förenar sig med hudens enhetliga struktur, för ett jämnt resultat och en perfekt täckning. För att ge dig en perfekt hy finns tio olika nyanser för alla hudtyper:
- 011 - Rosy Porcelain
- 013 - Gold Porcelain
- 021 - Rosy Ivory
- 023 - Gold Ivory
- 131 - Rosy Sand
- 133 - Gold Sand
- 143 - Gold Amber
- 251 - Caramel
- 253 - Gold Caramel
- 263 - Warm Chocolate
Shine Absorbing mattifying foundation stick (225 SEK)
Lekande lätt och ruskigt effektiv! Man märker den inte, men den professionella hållbarheten finns där och gör hela skillnaden. Den här Shine-Absorbing Mattifying Foundation Stick passar för blandad till fet hy. Den ger ett garanterat täckande resultat som håller länge. Ojämnheterna slätas ut och huden blir matt och silkeslen. Produkten finns i fem olika nyanser:
- 13
- 21
- 131
- 132
- 143
Secret No: 4: Eyes
Eye intensifiers (125 SEK)
I studion leker alltid make up artister med ögonskuggor i olika färger för att förändra blickens intensitet: en färg förstärks när den kombineras med sin komplementfärg. Välj bland en hel serie mono-ögonskuggor
som utvecklats enligt colorimetrins regler. Colormetri-cirkeln visar exempelvis att komplementfärgen till grön är violett. Gröna ögon förstärks alltså exempelvis av mörklila eller plommonfärgade ögonskuggor.

Studio Secrets Professional ögonskuggor är pigmenterade för att variera effekterna – matt, skimrande eller gnistrande – för ett resultat från naturligt till mer intensivt. Välj mellan 24 nyanser:
- Blå ögon: 220, 222, 223, 282, 283, 284
- Gröna ögon: 321, 322, 360, 362, 370, 380
- Bruna ögon: 511, 552, 560, 571, 581, 590
- Mörka ögon: 600, 630, 630, 640, 650, 660, 670
ögonskuggor ger ett intensivare djup i svarta ögon.
High definition eyeliners (125 SEK)
En komplett serie ögonpennor i 15 nyanser från ljus till mörk som framhäver blicken genom att förstora den eller skapa en illusion av kraftigare ögonfransar. Pennan passar för både lätt och intensiv makeup. Den är lätt att använda och ger ett resultat värdigt ett proffs. Du kan korrigera, framhäva och lysa upp.
Ögonpennor kan användas separat eller i kombination med ögonskuggor för en intensivare eller mer sofistikerad blick. Till skillnad från läpp-makeup behöver inte färgen på ögonpennan och ögonskuggan vara perfekt anpassade till varandra.
- Blå ögon: 270, 271, 281, 282
- Gröna ögon: 360, 361, 381, 390
- Bruna ögon: 500, 550, 581, 590
- Mörka ögon: 540, 650, 690
Secret No. 5: Lips
Lipstick (145 SEK)
Upptäck L’Oréal Paris första serie skräddarsydda läppstift som har utvecklats enligt fyra olika utseendetyper: mörk hy, brunett, mörkblond och blond. Läppstiften finns i 12 nyanser som skapats för
att harmoniera med över 30 naturliga läppfärger.
Läppstiften är perfekt pigmenterade för en naturlig till intensiv makeup. Konsistenserna och effekterna ger en glansig, silkeslen eller matt finish. Den krämiga konsistensen har en bra balans mellan oljor och mjukgörande cremer, och den innehåller en mjukgörande och spridande substans som framhäver färgen på ett bra sätt.
- Blond: 212 (Nude), 214 (Nude), 220 (Pink)
- Mörkblond: 411 (Nude), 421 (Pink), 461 (Brown)
- Brunett: 640 (Plum), 650 (Red), 665 (Brown)
- Mörk hy: 830 (Coral), 842 (Plum), 850 (Red)
High Definition Lipliner (125 SEK)
Läppennan är ett trick från studion som gör hela skillnaden. Penndraget måste vara osynligt och genomfört ton i ton, så perfekt att det försvinner när läppstiftet appliceras och bara lämnar kvar intrycket av en perfekt läppkontur. Läppennans stift har en hög precision: stiftet i High Definition Lipliner har den fördelen att den följer läpparna på ett bra sätt och gör det lekande lätt att få fram ett mycket precist penndrag.
För första gången har L’OREAL PARIS utvecklat en serie läppennor som är koordinerade med våra läppstift för att ge en perfekt färgharmoni.
- Blond: 012 (Nude), 013 (Nude), 022 (Pink)
- Mörkblond: 013 (Nude), 040 (Pink), 065 (Brown)
- Brunett: 040 (Plum), 053 (Red), 066 (Brown)
- Mörk hy: 030 (Coral), 040 (Plum), 053 (Red)
Ultra-glossy lip lacquer (135 SEK)
För första gången har L’oréal Paris tagit fram 15 nyanser av läppglans som går ton i ton med fyra universella utseendetyper: mörk hy, brunett, mörkblond, blond. För dig som inte gillar täckande läppstift finns läppglansen som förskönar dina läppar samtidigt som den är transparent och ger tre olika effekter: lackerad, paljetterad eller pärlemorskimrande. Med hjälp av pigment och pärlemor får din mun en ny och läckert sensuell rondör.
- Blond: 220, 221, 230
- Mörkblond: 410, 411, 420, 450
- Brunett: 620, 651, 660, 661
- Mörk hy: 831, 840, 850, 860






Produktbeskrivningarna är saxade ur pressmaterialet, jag återkommer med mina egna tankar och erfarenheter samt swatches när jag har testat produkterna!

It does look like a nice collection, with lots of wearable shades and products. The lipsticks and the MSF by candlelight makes me drool right away. I've never seen essential oils before, I wonder if they're for the face or more like massage oils? Does anyone know?

China Glaze våren 2010 - Up and away
Julen har varken kommit eller passerat än, men vårkollektionerna verkar redan vara på g från ganska många märken, vare sig det gäller smink, hudvård eller nagellack. Vårkollektionen från nagellacksmärket China Glaze heter Up and away och går i ljusa krämpasteller. Promobilden får mig att tänka på Pixars nya animerade långfilm "Up"!
Release date: Spring 2010

Nail Lacquer
- Grape pop
- Sugar high
- Something sweet
- Light as air
- Heli-Yum
- Flyin' High
- Four leaf clover
- Re-fresh mint
- Peachy keen
- High hopes
- Happy go lucky
- Lemon Fizz

Jag har en förkärlek för lila och gröna lack, och det finns många godbitar i den här kollektionen som lockar mig! Grape pop, Four Leaf clover, re-fresh mint och high hopes kommer jag nog att klicka hem så fort min favoritlackbutik Trans Design får in dom i lager, där de kostar $2.60/st. I Sverige finns China Glaze att köpa på Kicks och kostar 99 kr/st.
In English: Christmas have neither come or gone yet, but many beauty brands are already preparing for launching their spring collections soon. The spring collection from nail polish brand China Glaze is called Up and away, and contains 12 creme pastel colours. The promo picture makes me think of the new Pixar move "Up"!
I do love green and purple nail polishes, and there are several colours in this collection that I'm lemming for. I will probably order Grape pop, Four leaf clover, re-fresh mint and high hopes as soon as my favourite nail polish shop Trans Design gets them in stock, where they are $2.60 each.

Åååh, lipgelées! Jag älskar lipgelées, kul med lite nya nyanser =) Pearlmatte-skuggan och pudret är väldigt intressant för min del om texturen är bra. Vad ser ni fram emot från den här kollektionen? Tyvärr har jag hört ryktas om att varken PUB eller Åhléns i Stockholm kommer ta in den här kollektionen, så jag ska försöka hitta en langare från USA... Håller tummarna att åtminstone NK tar in den!
In English: At the end or beginning of each year, MAC releases a collection in collaboration with a beauty icon. Last year was Dame Edna, and this year's icon is the fashion designer Lilly Pulitzer.
Oooh, lip gelées! I love lip gelées, nice to see some new shades =) The pearlmatte eyeshadow and powder does look very interesting, I hope the formula is great! What do you look forward to from this collection?
