Barielle Stardust

*Press Sample*

Hey y'all!  Today I have this sparkly wonder to show off.  I fully admit that I've had this one for a while, it was hidden in my "needs to be swatched" box, and wasn't found until I did a recent cleanup of my polish/computer desk.  So when I did this gradient I thought it would be perfect to show over the 2 different shades.

Stardust is a beautiful glittery top coat.  

I used 1 coat layered over top of a gradient so you can get an idea of how it looks over different shades.

Stardust is a milky sheer base PACKED with opal and holo glitters.  

For the gradient, I used China Glaze Sun Of A Peach and Color Club Peace, Love, & Polish.

This and other Barielle shades can be purchased HERE.  Be sure to follow them on social media & sign up for their newsletter to get info on their deals. 

Barielle Line Eraser - Review

*Press Sample*

Hey y'all!  Today I have a makeup/skincare product to tell y'all about.  If you didn't know, Barielle does more than just nail polish and nail treatments.  They also do hand/foot creams, skincare, and even have a couple eyeshadow palettes.

They have a new product out that I've had the opportunity to try.  It's called Line Eraser.  

As you can tell from the packaging, this is a 90 second wrinkle reducer.  The product is inside of a little plunger style applicator which has an option to "lock" it when not in use so you can't accidentally squeeze it out.

 

There's also a rubbery plug on the end to keep it air tight along with the clear plastic lid that snaps onto the end.

90 Seconds to Younger Looking Skin
Get a more youthful looking you in only 90 seconds! Barielle Line Eraser quickly corrects the appearance of aging skin, including lines, wrinkles, crow’s feet and under eye puffiness. Clinical study shows visible improvements to skin tone and texture – 100% saw improvement!

• Lasts for hours
• Powerful anti-aging effect
• Diminishes look of wrinkles, fine lines, crow’s feet and eye puffiness 

How To Use: For Facial Wrinkles: Apply directly into problem wrinkles on the face. Smooth and dab until absorbed into the skin. Use of mirror is recommended.
For Skin Care Around the Eyes: First, dispense Line Eraser onto a fingertip. Then, carefully apply and blend into the area around the eyes. Avoid direct contact with eyes.

Please excuse my resting "b" face in the pics below.  When I took these I was trying to do my makeup and my phone would NOT stop ringing.  So, I was kinda irritated.

Oops, foundation SPF flash.

 In my mid 30's I have a few (very few) noticeable wrinkles.  There's a horizontal one on my forehead & everything seems to settle in it.  I also have a prominent frown line between my brows.  Other than that, there's a few under eye wrinkles. 

As you can see in the picture above, once I applied this, those wrinkles diminished.  My makeup also didn't settle into those lines and seemed to apply easier over those areas.  I did learn that if you apply too much it seems to almost roll off the skin like school glue.  For me, it was easier to smooth it on then dab my wet blending sponge over top.  I also like how it filled in my large pores without breaking me out or allowing my foundation to sink in.  I felt it gave me smoother skin. 

I quite like the results with this.  I will go ahead and let you know that this is slightly tinted.I don't feel that the tint won't make a difference though, as it will disappear once smoothed in and your foundation covers it.  Also, I have SUPER oily skin and this held up completely throughout the day.

Size: 10 mL / 0.34 Fl. Oz.
Cost: $30.00

Barielle - Gentle Breeze - Review & Swatches

*Press Sample*

Hey y'all!  Today I have the new spring collection from Barielle to share with y'all.  It's gorgeous & soft with creams and subtle shimmers. So lets get right to it.

There are a total of 5 shades.  3 are creams while the other two are creams with a subtle shimmer almost metallic finish to them.  As usual, I used Seche Vite as my top coat.

Pink Parasol - 3 coats - An icy strawberry pink cream.  It's a slightly dusty bubblegum pink.  

Heaven Sent - 2 coats - Aquamarine cream. I would describe this as a retro shade of blue or something like a robin's egg. This is one of my fav's.

Gray Sky - 2 coats - Glacier gray.  I would describe this as a medium gray cream with a subtle shimmer that makes it look almost metallic.  

Under The Sea - 2 coats - A scuba blue.  My favorite of the collection, this is a beautiful teal cream with a subtle silver shimmer.  The name is very appropriate and makes me want to watch The Little Mermaid.

Champagne Bubbles - 3 coats - Tangerine. Though that is how it's described on the website I would call this a peachy brown/nude cream.  It is kinda sheer so I had to build it up a little. 

These retail for $8 on Barielle's website HERE.  If you're not already, you should be following Barielle on Facebook/Instagram/Twitter for info on the great deals they've been sharing lately.  

Barielle - Falling Star

*Press Sample*

Hey y'all!  Today I have a fabulous shade of blue to share with you.  This is Falling Star.  Barielle has it in a set called Heavenly Blues. 

This is like a cream polish and glitter mixed into one.  While it may look like all the glitter is stuck on the outside of the bottle, rest assured that there's still plenty of it in the polish.

This is 2 coats of the gorgeous medium marine blue cream with copper glitters.  It does dry sorta like a satin so it definitely needs a top coat.

 And now for a few macro shots.

I need to swatch Elle's Spell as I've had it for ages, but I think that it and this are definite must haves from Barielle.  

What do you think?

Barielle - Jess' Champagne Toast

*Press Sample*

Hey y'all!  I have a quick post today.  That being said, I'm going to be completely honest(well I always am).  My pictures do NOT do this polish justice.  It's even more gorgeous in person.

 This is a sheer metallic violet shimmer with tiny tiny glitters.  I can't tell if they're like a holo pink and purple or just purple.  Either way, it's gorgeous.

 Because this is sheer, I had to use 3 coats.  Though if you wanted, you could layer it over white, black, or purple and have a different result.  It doesn't really look like it, but I did use a top coat as usual.

What do you think of this?  Are you as much of a purple lover as I am?

Barielle - Wanna Samba?

*Press Sample*

Hey y'all!  Today I have a beauty from Barielle to share my thoughts on.  I remember ages ago when I had a similar color.  It was one of my absolute fav's.  So when I got the opportunity to receive this one, I was thrilled.

Wanna Samba? is a fascinating duo-chrome.  It's a part of the Carnival Fiesta collection, which also has a few beauties.

This is 3 thin coats, plus top coat.  It's like an olive green, that almost looks gray, to dusty purple duochrome.  Shimmery and metallic, this is drool worthy IMO.  

You can see how the sides of the nail look purple....but as you'll see in the macro shots below, it's all about how the light hits it.  Kinda like when you're wearing holographic polishes.

Isn't that just GORGEOUS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

I have a few more coming up, so be sure to keep an eye out.

Guest Post Starring Pat of Southern Sister Polish & Cashmere Or Loose Me

 Hey y'all...I have another exciting guest post to show you!  This mani rawks! :D

Hello again everyone! Thanks Harri for letting me come back this week to show this manicure off! Today I have Barielle Cashmere Or Loose Me. Which is a brown with copper shimmer...I don't usually go for brown polish but the shimmer won me over. This is a base coat with 3 thin coats of Cashmere Or Loose Me and a top coat.

I then thought it needed something because really I can't wear brown...it just isn't my color. I had to decorate but I really didn't know how. My friend recently sent me some feathers and I thought it would go lovely with the C.O.L.M. I had to  trim the feather so it would fit my finger better.

I put a regular top coat down stuck the feather down and trimmed the rest of the feather down with a small scissor (I have also done this with a small nail clipper). 

And viola a manicure I would wear for Thanksgiving!

Thanks again Harri for letting me come over from Southern Sister Polish . 

I hope everyone has a wonderful day! 

Patricia :)
