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

The Struggle of Pale Skin

S.O..... One problem I have always had is getting a foundation to match my skin colour! And because I am so pale, if I get the wrong shade I look like an oompa loompa (which is not a good look) and to top it off I have a more yellow toned skin meaning its even harder to find foundation to match my skin, as the majority of pale foundations are pink based.

On one of my fantastic trips to MAC, I asked for their expertise on what foundation I should use, where I found that I had the choice of two..... the lightest two they had! Although they were perfect shade wise, I just don't think I could justify spending £21.50 on Studio Fix Fluid Foundation every time !

So I went on a hunt in Superdrug and came across these three products which I think give me the perfect (pale) skin look! 

Item 1


The Collection Lasting Perfection Liquid Concealer in 1-Fair. I had heard great things about this concealer and when I saw that it came in fair I just had to give it a go! It has a nice creamy texture and gives amazing coverage under the eyes and on blemishes. The colour is nice and light which helps to brighten up dark circles under the eyes. Overall I love this product as it is not got a red under tone meaning it doesn't produce an odd colouring !

Price £4.19

Item 2



Item number 2 in the Haul in the L'Oréal Infallible Foundation Porcelain 15. I had been eyeing this foundation up for a while in my many trips to Superdrug and as I was searching for a new foundation how could I not buy it?!? When I was trying the different shades, I had a great conversation with one of the staff about my skin and after testing them out Porcelain seemed to be the one for me. Overall I am loving this foundation especially because of the coverage and creamy texture when you apply it to the skin (its a perfect budget alternative to the MAC foundation).

Price £9.99

Item 3

I love applying a powder over the top of my foundation to set it in place and because I have very oily skin I need something to counteract this. I have sampled a few powders but usually stick with the Rimmel London Stay Matte Powder. However, for a change I thought I would try the Maybelline Matte Maker in Classic Ivory. This has a nice soft texture and leaves the skin lovely and matt, just what I wanted! Also the Maybelline is a fairer colour compared to the Rimmel so I will be sticking with this one for a while.

Price £3.99


These three items have been my staples for the last few weeks and I have found they created an even skin tone whilst matching the rest of me too (no more orange face wahoo!)
