{Disclaimer: this post is an overview about a collection I got for free as press sample. I'd like to thank NABLA Cosmetics for the opportunity, anyway my evaluation policy doesn't change and is always based on real use and in-depth testing of the product(s)}

Last week NABLA Cosmetics, on time like every year, launched their summer collection: Freedomination, which is the biggest collection they ever released so far. 
It consists of 10 eyeshadows, 4 Diva Crime lipsticks (featuring a new, limited edition packaging), 2 Dreamy Matte Liquid Lipsticks (introducing the new metal finish),  2 Dazzle Liners, 2 Blossom Blushes, 2 Shade&Glow (one highlighter and one bronzer) and two limited edition Liberty palettes.

After showing you lipsticks and face products (here), it's time to show you the eye products: all (well, almost all) the new eyeshadows and the eyeliners! 
Ready, set... splash!

It's been a while since NABLA Cosmetics launched new colours for their Crème Shadow range. It debuted about one year ago with six shades, then three new ones were added with the winter Artika collection and one more, shortly after, was introduced to celebrate NABLA's birthday in December. No new adds since then - until now.

The Potion Paradise Collection features six new shades, five of them being shimmery and just one completely matte. One of them is actually the cream version of a preexisting eyeshadow, but the other five are completely new, original colours! 

I'm sorry I wasn't able to post this overview earlier, I always try to post close to the launch day (usually slightly after)... Sadly, this time the weather has been really inclement (and still is, honestly), making nearly impossible for me to take any good pictures for several days in a row. Which is a problem, when you're a beauty blogger and you rely on natural light alone.
Anyway, I finally made it! Just in time - the traditional launching promo ends tonight, but hopefully this overview could still be useful to some of you, for future purchasing! 

Potion Paradise 
A collection where the Apollonian meets the Dionysian in a retro-futuristic pastel-shaded scenario.

Where the past runs towards the future in a rush that encodes a new concept of equilibrium.

A post-modern collection stating new codes in the name of freedom of expression. 

Are you ready to discover all the secrets of these new 6 Crème Shadow?

Over the last one year and a half I became very interested in eyebrows, I gradually learnt how to shape and define them - mainly by using a pencil, but I also used eyeshadows for a short amount of time. Now, doing my eyebrows is a step in my daily routine I never, never skip. 

So, needless to say, when NABLA Cosmetics announced the upcoming launch of their new eyebrow product I rejoiced right away! (They already have a brow product in their range actually - the Brow Divine pencils - but I can't relay on those because there's no shade for red hairs, sadly.)

And I got even more excited when I learnt that this new product was a cream - perfect timing, as I'm using up my currently brow pencil and I was taking into consideration switching to cream/gel.
Please welcome the new Brow Pot range, a brow cream that features a waterproof and long-lasting formula.

♕ Preview ♕ Spectrum Collections ~ BombShell Brush Set ♕{Overview, Comparazioni, Prime Impressioni}

[Looking for the English version? Please click here!]

{Questo post illustra prime impressioni riguardo un prodotto che mi è stato mandato in prova valutativa dalla ditta che lo produce. Ringrazio Spectrum Collections per l’opportunità, la mia politica valutativa tuttavia non cambia e si basa come sempre sulla reale utilizzazione del prodotto - vedasi la pagina Disclaimer del blog.}

Ecco la versione italiana della mia preview dedicata a questo nuovo set di Spectrum Collections. Com'era già avvenuto con il post dedicato alla Mermaid Collection di NABLA, ho ritenuto opportuno scrivere due post distinti e separati - uno esclusivamente in inglese, uno esclusivamente in italiano. E ho deciso che, d'ora in poi, questa sarà la prassi per questo genere di post molto lunghi e molto articolati. Sia per facilitare a voi la lettura, sia per facilitarmi il processo di scrittura (sembra quasi paradossale ma mi viene molto più semplice gestire un post per lingua piuttosto che un unico post infinito dove si deve saltare da una lingua all'altra ogni cinque secondi).
Fatta questa premessa, possiamo passare al post ;D

Quando a Luglio Spectrum fece trapelare i primi spoiler riguardo un nuovo set (sempre in tema sirene) che sarebbe arrivato alle stelle, l'hype schizzò alle stelle pressoché istantaneamente. Il brand è conosciuto per il bellissimo stile, molto glamorous, dei suoi design - perciò non stupisce che tutte (me compresa) siano andate in un brodo di giuggiole all'idea che stavano per sfornare un nuovo set, sicuramente mozzafiato.
E infatti così è stato!

Dopo la sirenesca Glam Clam, il misterioso e dark Siren Set ed il candido Marbleous set, Spectrum Collections ha creato il raffinatissimo BombShell brush set - che vado a mostrarvi oggi in anteprima!

Il set era stato rivelato al pubblico durante un evento dedicato, in perfetto tema sirene, tenutosi a Soho, Londra, il 21 Luglio. Io, per motivi geografici, non ho potuto ovviamente partecipare - ma ho avuto l'opportunità di provare i nuovi pennelli prima del lancio, in modo da poterveli presentare *_*
Ho aspettato che annunciassero la data del lancio prima di postare, e fortunatamente l'attesa non sarà lunga: il set debutterà sul mercato giorno 23 Settembre!
Nel frattempo, spero che vi godiate la mia preview ♥

When Spectrum Collections, back on July, hinted that a new mermaid inspired brush set was on its was, the hype went sky high right away. This brand is well known for its 

glamorous, stylish and overall beautiful designs - so everyone (me included) literally went crazy, knowing that something really amazing was about to be revealed.
And, of course, it totally was.

After the mermazing Glam Clam the darker Siren Set and the pure Marbleous set, Spectrum Collections created the chic and classy BombShell Brush Set - which I'm really thrilled to show you today!

This new set was revealed on July 21th in a mermaid themed event that took place in Soho, London. Sadly, I live way too far to be able to attend - but I was so luck to be given the opportunity to try them in order to write a preview post! *_* 
I've waited for the launch date to be disclosed to publish this post, and we're actually sooo close to it: this beauty is launching on September 23rd! Who's excited??
Meanwhile, I really hope you'll enjoy this preview! ♥
