Beginning to fall in love ...

The first time I tested out the One Direction color line, I was pretty clear that it was not my cup of tea. It was GREAT for teens, but it was too bold for pretty much everyone else (MHO). So, when I heard they had MORE colors, kits, and products coming out ... I was stoked to see what they had in store.

*Quick note - I DID get these products free in exchange for a review, but my opinions are my own. Compensation does not make anyone the boss of my opinions.*

So, this time I received SEVERAL packages. My daughter was SO excited. We have not yet had the chance to try a few of them out and I will let you know which ones those are. The first to arrive were trio packages. I got nail polish with toppings, mascara/hair coloring, and lip gloss.

Mascara/Hair Color - we have NOT tried these out yet

Lip Gloss

Nail Polish & Glitter topping

Okay ... so, before I move to the second box ... let's talk about this first box. The mascara/hair color kinda scares me a little BUT I think it will look AWESOME in my daughter's hair. The reason it scares me is it is labeled as "heavily pigmented colors." So, I am not sold on it being a mascara deal ... but DEFINITELY hair coloring! The lip gloss. I have tried these out SORTA. I say sorta because I have not tried them with a UV light. I do LOVE the colors without the changes though so I can't imagine not liking them. They look super bold, but they are not. They remind me a LOT of Mary Kay's colors (including Mango Tango). Finally, the nail polish. I LOOOOOVE nail polish. These polishes are best when you wear something under and then a top coat (MHO). They have to different ways you can use the glitter. You can either dip your fingers into the containers OR you can sprinkle it on top. I, personally, love the look of the dipped better ... but I did both so you can see.

Sprinkled on top (I used the clear sparkle as a top coat on both hands)

So, there ya go. Those are there new products. BUT, I got a second box a couple days later! I was expecting one tin because it is only one set of colors, but I was blessed with all three collector tins. Again, daughter is stoked.

Imagine my delight when I opened the tin and saw this:

SO PRETTY!!

Each tin has a different design drawing based on the singers creative mind. The colors are bolder than Mary Kay, but they are not over the top.

Side note - I DID supplement Mary Kay blush (Sparkling Cider) and Mascara (Lash Love - Black)
