Ellis Faas - Lights

Ellis Faas is a high end band, the first time I saw this product online I went on a crazed manhunt to get my hans on "LightE306" . So....is it as kool as I thought it would be? Read on, read on!


Eliis Faas products come in sleek packinging, in chrome sylinders and you can fit them in a chrome tube and store them there. Products cover lips eyes and face and the idea is that everything has the same sylinder shape and makes for a system to be easily stored.  It's all very sci-fi and modern looking. And we digg that. Make sure to check out the website as its pretty badass.
Kool looking, huh?

The creamy eyes Lights E306  is a liquid eyeshadow that sets on your eyes, and the color I have is Holographic Bordeaux.These can be addes as a highlight to your eyes or used on their own. They do not feel sticky or drying. It's a twist/click product and make sure you pay close attention, because I over-clicked it and made a slight mess as pic below show. Mine had some bent hairs, didnt expect that.

The product applies evenly across the lid, dabb it with fingetip to get that metallic shine. I have great results blending this out with a blendig brush too.
Here is the green/teal shift in color.

The color i have is a duochrome red/green, think MAC Club or any of the billion dupes of that eyeshadow. The combo is great for my green eyes, as the red gived you that "living dead" look and the green adds life.
Here you see the red/brown color

I really do adore this, the downside is that its not watherproof. And it does not stay on until bedtime. Its not one of those "this product will stay put even through nuclear war"- kinda product. But its stunning, very expencive looking, and the quality is very good. I reach for this often, its quick and easy and ones applied, it looks as if you've used 3-4 different shades/products. But noooo.


It's an expencive thing to have in your makeup bag, it's $43

No scent. No taste. No animal testing.

Indigo Bananas again!



Got 3 more of the kick ass indie brand Indigo Bananas. There just blow my mind and are so unique and kool.

And with that said, very hard to capture on photo. Grrr.
It is what it is, addicts! But trust me, these really do need a place in your collection.
Will post the first two now.

First one is  Rez,  it's a grey & black glitter, purple duochrome base. It's a stunner. Looks like granit indoors but flashes green and lillac when light hits it. In the sun or in direct light this has the most amazing duochrome green and lillac....and the texture almost makes me want to call it a textured polish. This is badass with no top coat too. I did use one coat of HK but that didnt do it any favours, so I used my normal SV on top. Gives it a 3D-effect really. Applies lovely, go in with a thik first coat, let dry and then a medium second coat. Thats all you need for total coverage. So flipping kool!
Shitty bottle shoot. Deal.

See how it shifts? Gah.

The silver glitter makes it so galaxy like.

Strong green shift.

Next is  Enchante - red & black jelly - this GLOWS blue in the dark! I had forgotten that this is a glow in the dark polish until I did this post actually. Cant wait to go to bed now. Hah. This is a very bright red jelly with black glitter. I used 3 coats in the pics and that is more than enough. The black glitter gives it some depth too. So squishy and fun! Like a strawberry smoothy or jam. The glitter applies perfect, no dabbing needed really. Give it a little time before the second coat. I am really loving this one.
Squishy!

I know you just want to bite my fingers, they look so jummy. o_O

Super kool in your face red.

You can get your hands on these via Indigo Bananas and they cost $6 for small and $10 for full size bottle.
Check her out over at Facebook. She is super nice and her customer service is outstanding.

ILNP! Ultra Chromes.

Slenger ut noen swatches fra den amazing kolleksjonen som kom for et par mnd siden hos I Love Nail Polish. Dette er første gang jeg helt seriøst fikk tårer i øynene over å teste en lakk. That's how freaking stunning these are. Tok noen kjappe bilder da jeg fikk disse lakkene, bildene var ikke ment som swatches. Deal. Be thanful.

Dette er ikke en top coat slik de aller fleste lignende duochrome-lakkene er, de du må ha over en mørk base. Dette en 1-2 coaters alle sammen. Og har den sterkeste duochrome-effekten jeg har sett i en lakk. Amazing. Perfekt kost, perfekt konsistens, perfekt påføring. Buy it.

I give you
