Models Own Nail Polish

2012-04-08T03:32:00.001-07:00

Hey everyone! I just wanted to show you my new fave nail polishes as i just think they are AMAZING and i'm obsessed with them at the minute! So i'm sure you'll love them too (:

Beetlejuice- duotone blue and purple. Only need a couple of layers for it to be opaque.

Indian Ocean- duotone lilac and aqua blue with alot of shimmer. Takes about 3 or 4 layers to build up an opaque colour but you can also put 1 or 2 coats over a base colour to give a gorgeous shimmer to it.

-Beetlejuice-

-Back: Beetlejuice-Front: Indian Ocean-

Lemon Meringue - gorgeous yellow pastel colour. Pastels are very on trend this spring/summer (:

Pastel Pink- Another gorgeous pastel pink colour, also very on trend. Both give great coverage after one or two layers.

My fave nail combo

I am wearing 2 layers of 'Pastel Pink' with 2 layers of 'Indian Ocean' over the top. The pictures don't really do it justice but it gives the pink a gorgeous lilac/blue shimmer to it. Definitely going to be wearing this throughout summer!

Thanks for reading (: x

Cute Sunglasses Case!

2012-03-28T09:56:00.001-07:00

Hey everyone! So as the weather in England is starting to be quite sunny (finally) it's time for us to whip out our sunglasses! But for when I'm in a shop or the sun goes in i don't like putting them in my bag because they would get scratched (i dont like putting them on my head either lol). So I thought I'd look for some nice sunglasses cases!

So I went on ebay and I found these..

White with Black Polka Dots

Light Pink with Black Polka Dots

This is the link to them on ebay from the seller i bought from: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Large-Polka-Dot-Hard-Spectacle-Glasses-Case-Glasses-Sunglasses-/290678156439?pt=UK_Health_Beauty_VisionGlasses_Lenses_SM&var=&hash=item8962201877#ht_608wt_1110

They also come in Black with White Polka Dots and Red with White Polka Dots.

Thanks for reading!

Anyone thinking on buying one?

Mac Foundation Dupe

2012-03-09T07:08:00.000-08:00

Alot of you may already have heard about Revlon ColorStay foundation, but for those who haven't, it is a medium coverage that is easily buildable to full coverage, just like Mac Studio Fix Fluid.

Of course there is quite a big price difference though as Mac Studio Fix is £19.50 and Revlon Colorstay is £12.49. For a high street foundation, £12.49 is quite expensive but for the quality i think it is a really good price as it compares to MAC!

Obviously MAC comes in alot more colour shades than the Revlon foundation but I think Revlon still has quite a good range saying it is a high street foundation. In Mac Studio Fix I am in NC15 and an exact match for that colour in the Revlon Colorstay is 150 Buff. Although in the picture the Revlon one looks slightly darker it really isn't in real life.

The only difference I find is that Revlon Colorstay is slightly harder to work with than the Mac Studio Fix Fluid as it is a bit thicker.

They both have SPF 15 aswel which is always a plus! They also contain 30ml so your still getting the same amount of product (and quality) for a cheaper price (if you buy Revlon Colorstay.)

Also my last point is about the packaging. Both foundations come with a screw top lid which makes it really difficult and messy to keep pouring out the product, also making you pour out a bit too much. It's just lucky that MAC have a pump that you can buy separately that (i think) fit on most of their foundations!

So I really hope this helped some of you if you were looking for a good foundation but maybe can't afford MAC! Please comment and follow if you liked this post!

Mini London Make Up Haul

2012-02-28T09:45:00.003-08:00

So on Sunday I went to Oxford Street for the first time! :D I didn't buy that much.. but i thought i would just show you the beauty items I picked up while I was there. (:

First up is a highlighter from Topshop. It's a gorgeous golden highlight colour, perfect for the summer. This was £10 (:

Next is a blusher from Mac (obviously lol). It's called 'Pinch O' Peach' and its just a really nice corally pink colour and I think it would suit most skin tones aswel. This was £17.50

This lipstick is from Topshop and is called 'Innocent' it is quite similar to the other lipstick i bought which is Mac 'Creme Cup'. This one is also quite creamy and a really nice nude pink colour.

This is Mac Creme Cup which I'm sure everyone has seen a million times before! But it really is as good as everyone says it is. So if you don't have this then I really recommend it, it's a nude pink colour and will suit most skin tones.

I just had to include these sunglasses in aswel because I LOVEEEE them! I got them from River Island and they just look so good when it's sunny because the diamantes sparkle lol :D They were £15 if you were wondering.

Anyway that's it for now! Byeee xx

GlossyBox February

2012-02-20T12:30:00.005-08:00

Helloooo! So.. this is my first blog I've ever done and i'm not too sure on what to write lol x] Anyway... this is my review on the February GlossyBox so i hope you enjoy (:

DuWop Venom Gloss-

The colour i received was in 'Buttercup' It has quite a cinnamon/vanilla scent to it which i don't particularly like myself. It is also a very glittery lipgloss but the glitter is very fine so it doesn't give a gritty feeling on the lips. It also claims to give you 'fuller' lips, i didn't notice my lips looking any 'fuller' but i did notice it gave a very horrible burning sensation so i had to wipe it off anyway! I would give this a 2/5 just because the colour was really pretty but i didn't like the smell or the burning sensation.

Dr Bronner Magic Liquid Soap- Basically the 'magic' in this is soap is that it is a liquid that turns into a really lathery.. erm lather.. and you need just the tiniest amount of it! An extra plus point is that it's fair trade (: Overall this is a great product apart from the smell! It smells so strongly of roses, so if you don't like the smell of roses you probably wouldn't like this product. 2/5

Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Relaxing Balm- OMG! This is the best hair serum i have ever used! You apply it to damp hair and then style as usual, but i also use it on dry hair aswel, as i find it makes your hair look so shiny without it looking greasy. It really does do what it says on the tin! Makes your hair: less uncontrolable, really soft and makes it shiny! 5/5

Bm Beauty Pure Mineral Eyeshadow-

I received the colour 'Storm Cloud'. I haven't tried this one out yet, but i have done a swatch for you.

I hope you liked it! Please comment and let me know what you guys think!
