NAIL VARNISH OVERLOAD

S.O... over the month of December I have suddenly spent more on nail varnishes than i have in a very long time... must be something about Christmas (there's a lot of sparkles)

 
These First four are all from Top Shop (not somewhere I normally buy nail vanishes from?!) but anyway onto the Haul...

Item 1 

Called White Heart this is a mixture of Gold and silver sparkly bits (technical term i know) in a clear nail varnish. It dries remarkably quickly which was a pleasant surprise!This is perfect on its own or paired with another colour, using it as a top coat! its pretty long lasting and just a very pretty touch on you nails!

Price £6.00

Item 2 

Called Drink Pink this is a bright and vibrant pink Matt Nail Varnish. This also is fast drying and last reasonably well. Its recommended to use a base coat and two coats of colour for the best result... but I'm way to lazy for that when it comes to my nails! but overall another good quality product.

Price £6.00


Item 3

Thirdly I Purchased Adrenalin pink which is made up of small and big sparkly Bits... (no idea what to call these!?) This almost has a disco ball look when on as it reflects in different colours which is such a cool look!

Price £6.00

Item 4 

My final item from Topshop. I bought just a bog standard top and base coat! (exciting!) well I thought I would be good and do the whole base coat and two layers of colour thing... Overall its a nice nail varnish but you could just get one from anywhere really!

Price £6.00



Item 5

Next Lot are all from Barry M. Firstly I have Yet another glittery nail Varnish... Notice a theme yet? 

This is from The Royal Textured Glitter Collection in shade TNP5 Pink Princess. A baby pink colour that is just adorable! the glitter texture is unlike all the other glitter types previous as it consists of little glitter pieces that all line up perfectly on your nails. Its fast drying and also comes in 4 other shades!

Price £3.99

Item 6





Next I chose A classic Matt Nail Paint In MNP4 Nude vanilla. This is a fast drying matt nail paint in a perfect nude almost lilac colour that gives your nail a little something but not too noticeable!


Price£3.99





Item 7

My final item I got for free as part of a deal in boots it a clear colour with silver and red sparky bits with stars and moon shapes. Its called moonlight and is just another sweet glitter top coat!

Unfortunately I have no idea what the price was (£3.99 maybe?)




There we have it my overload on nail varnishes ! hope you enjoyed <3

Random Collection Haul

S.O... I have been shopping now and again but not bought enough to do single hauls on each shop so here is a mixture of MAC, Boots And Superdrug trips I have made! hope you enjoy <3

Item 1

firstly my mac purchases...
I love matt lipsticks and so it was only right while in bath I went to jollys and purchased a MAC lipstick.

I chose It in the colour Please Me.  This is a lovely pink colour that's' long lasting and I just can't get enough of it! perfect for everyday life and special occasions.

Price £15.50 

Item 2
     
Also from MAC this blusher is just FAB! normally I just use drug store products as well.. they are easy to access but every now and again i love a little splurge and buy high end products.


I got the Heirloom mix Mineralize blusher in Modest Blush. This is a sweet natural looking blusher is perfect ascent to use on an everyday basis if you are not keen on over doing the blusher as it builds up nicely on your cheeks. Its Part of a special collection so it has the cutest sparkly packaging! (more of a reason to buy!) 

Price £23.00

Item 3

On a trip to Superdrug in my lunch time for some conceler i discvered my store had finally stocked Zoella Products! od of course overly excited my bought the body fragrance Blissful Missful and the bath soak soap opera, Both with the adorable packaging! they share a delightful sent. Thought the body mist does not smell for that long (like most body mists) its still a great purchase.

Price £8.00 (body spray)
Price £5.00 (bath Soap)



Item 4

When I was having a look around boots I saw a Christmas offer on L'Oreal Paris Make up when you spend £14.00 or more you get the Couture Gift set. And so I ended upbuying the L'oreal Paris Studio Secrets smoothing resurfacing primer so far I have loved this primer as its great for covering up spots, pores and uneven parts of my face (which I love). The product has a very creamy texture and I thought it was a silly small pot for a primer BUT a little goes a long way with this primer!

Price £14.29

Item 5

The final Item I Bought on this Haul is the L'oreal Paris La Palette Nude in  01 Rose. This is just a wonderful pallet filled with 10 beautiful colours for a nude look. Since buying this i have used it EVERY DAY as there are so many combination's that could be done and a with a nude eye you can never go wrong.

Price £14.99

Item 6

Because I spent so much on L'oriel products I got the Couture Gift set which was just jam packed of wonderful products. It came with the Volume million Lashes mascara, Colour Riche 461 Lipstick, Colour Riche Le Khol white eyeliner pencil and a Red Nail Polish ! These are all good products but out of all of them I would buy the Volume Million Lashes mascara again, in fact it might just replace my old favourite.  

So there we have it a my VERY late random haul of all things i have accumilated during the month of november... sorry its so late!

Sisters are bad Influences

S.O... as I mentioned before in my last post my sister came home last week and of course we had to have the obligatory shopping trip before the cinema trip!!

And of course because I have an obsession with make up Superdrug happened to be on that trip.

Item 1


For the past few weeks I have been looking to work on my eyebrows and on this shopping expedition I came across the Make up Academy Pro-Brow ultimate eyebrow kit (Fair). The Kit has 3 shades of powder and a highlighter to apply under the brow to give a finished look. Along with a mini tweezers and a double ended brush to help you perfect your brow. I found this product easy to use and as a relevant new comer to filling in my eyebrows I love that could jump straight into perfecting my eyebrows.

Price £3.50

Item 2

Now I have grown to love the L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche Collection and after experimenting with the Blake I went and got the Eva Pure Red. Now this one is a more orange in colouring in comparison to the Blake. Like my other matt red from this collection it have a great staying power and I highly recommend these to anyone and everyone!!!

Price £6.99


 Item 3

Not sure why but I just I can't get enough of red lips atm (might be my obsession with Taylor Swift) and so I have a wonderful deep red for you all. A well know favourite amongst many is the Rimmel Kate Matte Lipstick Wine 107. A perfect matt lipstick with an intense velvet colour which was wonderful/spooky for Halloween But also an autumn/winter essential look. but surprisingly it smells sooo good! (not what you look for in a lipsick). 


Price £5.49




Item 4

 Now everyone needs a good natural eye shadow palette and mine has been recently been running out so I thought I would try a new a different one for a change. Beauty UK  is a brand I have never tried before an the Posh Palette Masquerade No.2 looked look full of great colours.

Price £5.99


Item 5

My last item in the haul is the Real techniques Nic's Picks collection. This group of 5 brushes comes in limited edition silver colour and is part of the Superdrug Christmas range.

Firstly The duo-fibre Face Brush. Perfect for application of face powder if you need a nice light weight coverage (not a powder face) and also works well for blending blusher and bronzer. The duo-fibre gives a lovely soft touch.










Secondly the Exclusive Cheek Brush. This brush if great for applying make up across the cheekbone helping to highlight and shape key features.

Next the Exclusive Angled Shadow Brush. For a while I have needed a brush to help me with my use of eye shadow and this is a great addition to the collection as it is perfectly cut to create layering in the crease off the eye lid simple.

Thirdly The Base Shadow Brush allows you to apply a base of eye shadow flawlessly but also great for blending and I think its a great addition to anyone's make up bag.







Lastly the Exclusive Eye liner Brush this makes the application on a gel liner easy and can also be used to apply eye shadow on the lower lash line to finish of a look.



Price £20.00

Welcome to S.O

Welcome!

My name is Sophie and I would like to welcome you to my little beauty haven, in this pink and cosy corner of the internet.

After watching hours upon hours of vlogs on YouTube over the last few months, I suddenly realised I had found a passion for beauty and fashion, shopping and lifestyle tips. So I decided, after a little push from my sister, to create a blog to share my fun and discoveries with all of you wonderful people on the internet.

So here it is, my first post!

I thought long and hard on what to call my blog, and as I do not have the fortune of a catchy nickname, after a bit of deliberation I decided to use my (rather convenient) initials and the topic of this blog to create S.O fashion and beauty !

I hope you enjoy the posts to come :) 

S.O love xox
