Nails of the Week!

Here we are again a bit later than planned, but we're here it's time for Nails of the Week. This week the sun has come out and it's been a mini heat wave, so instead of going for a spring pastel like I was planning to I decided to go for a summer colour with Balearic cool from the head kandi range from Models Own. The colour is bright bright blue and I love having the bright colour on my nails, it's so pretty!

If you don't like having bright nails then you will hate this colour, as it is really bright if you haven't been able to tell this by the pictures. The colour however is really pretty and will be amazing in the summer, as it is so bright and bright colour's always look good in the summer.

Nails of The Week!

I'm starting a new weekly post which will be called Nails of The Week! I paint my nails every Sunday ready for the week and then I will repaint every Sunday. I have a slight nail varnish and used to own over 60 until I chucked out all of my old ones and now I don't have half as much anymore.

This week I have used one coat of Shrimply Divine from Sally Henson complete Salon Manicure which is a beautiful colour it's sort of a bright pink, but it's not too bright if you get what I mean. The nail varnish it's self is also brilliant, as from using one coat you get an opaque colour and there is no need for a second coat, the brush is also flat which makes it easier to apply. There is one thing I dislike though and that would be the name sorry Sally Henson, but I'm not feeling Shrimply Divine. 

I then have a coat of glitter which is Pinky Glitter from Sinful Colors which is also a really pretty colour, however I have done a review of this product before as it featured in my favourites video, so if you want to see a review you can check out my March favourites here! For my nails of the week I used one coat of this over the top of Shrimply Divine and it's created a cute effect that isn't over the top with glitter.

I hope you enjoyed this type of post it will be a weekly thing that will go up every Sunday, I know this is going up on a Monday, but I already posted yesterday and I didn't want to post twice on the same day. 

March Favourites!

So it's finally April *cheers*. The clocks have gone forward so it's going to start getting light early and staying light for longer which will make it feel a lot more summery outside, let's just hope the temperature goes up a bit, haha! All of these products are relatively new, but I've worn them to death whilst I've had them.

Lasting finish by Kate Moss in 08

This is my first lipstick from the Kate Moss collection for Rimmel and I love it! It's one of them 'your lip colour, but better'. It applies nicely and is very pigmented. It lasted me three-four hours without eating and drinking, but after eating or drinking another layer would be required although after eating or drinking the colour can still be seen. The only bad point is that it is a little drying, so I use a nivea lip balm as a base before applying the lipstick. If you fancy having a look you can check out all of the other shades here 

Sinful Colors - Pinky glitter

This nail varnish is so pretty! When I applied this I didn't use a basecoat or topcoat and I totally regret it; when wearing this a basecoat is 100% necessary. I put three coats of this on and that was when I got an opaque colour, so if you have no patience and don't like having to wait for you nails to dry before adding another coat then this isn't for you. Whilst on the colour is a light pink with obvious amounts of glitter. I never thought that I would spend £1.99 on a nail varnish, but this was to pretty to leave behind.

Simple - hydrating light moisturizer 

I apply this before I go to bed and when I wake up in the morning and I just find that it's such a beautiful product. I bought this from primark for £1 and I love it! It has no fragrance and the littles amount does plenty. The only downside is that it is hard to get out of the bottle as the bottle is hard to squeeze and when it does come out you don't want too much because like I said before a small amount does plenty.

Meybelline the rocket volume express mascara 

I got this mascara off my mum and it's the best! Before this mascara I used one from avon which is now my second favourite. I used to wear about eight different mascaras and I'm not being dramatic and then with just using a couple of coats of this one makes my eyelashes look perfect it does not clump them them together and it also makes them look longer which is great. Check it out here

Rimmel London 1000 kisses

I have used this whenever I go out and it's such a nice colour. It's not quite red it's more of a pinky red colour although it does look red by the container and the swatch. I've found that the colour lasts until you want to eat or drink and then another coat will be needed. This product however is not great for chapped lips as it will highlight them and really make the chappednes stand out. I'm also struggling at the moment as it is deciding that it doesn't want to work very well, but I think it gives you instructions on the packaging on how to make it easier to use.

HAUL || Topshop / The Body Shop / New Look

As you all probably know, I visited London last weekend for a shopping trip to Westfield. Now, I was planning to do a haul post on the Sunday, but my camera had ran out of battery and then I didn't know where the charger was and the camera took a while to charge, so nearly a week later... here we are!

So I may not have bought a lot, but the things that I did buy cost quite a lot of money.

Let's start with Topshop.

I got two nail varnishes, one called Peaches and Cream and the other One Hot Minute. I've wanted a deep red for a while now and when I saw One Hot Minute, it was on them moments when you don't care how much it is, you just want it and whilst looking at the range I saw Peaches and Cream and instantly fell in love and couldn't decide which one to get... so I got both, living the high life! The nail varnishes were £5 each.

The last thing I bought from Topshop was a lipstick, now first of all I was looking for whimsical, but once I saw it, I just didn't want it, so I had a good look at all of the other colours and decided on Sartorial. Sartorial is a bright coral colour. I have wore it a few times, but used my finger to wipe the lipstick in, to get a paler coral colour so it is more suitable for daytime wear. It is priced at £8.

Now for the body shop, when I was at the counter paying for these, I think the woman behind the till could tell that I wasn't from London and was trying to get me to donate money to charity and sign up for something to do with the store and I was just stood there trying to get her to take the money off me, so I could leave, anyway...

The first thing I bought was a Born Lippy - stick lip balm in Pomegranate. This is by far the product that I have been looking for, for a while! Since I have a problem with getting chapped lips, I'm always on the look out for a good lip balm and when I saw the born lippy range, I knew I had to buy one. I was going to get the Pink Berry one, but I decided to be a bit daring and go for the Pomegranate. The lip balm goes on easily and leaves a tint of color to the lips, another positive to the product is that it smells amazing, when I showed it to my mum she thought it was a sweet because of the smell! But the best and most important positive is that I have noticed a huge difference in my lips and it has only been a week. I bought it for £3.

My last purchase from the body shop was a body mist in the scent Japanese Cherry Blossom it costs £7.50 and is my new favourite smell in the world! There are only two negatives to this product: the first is that it doesn't last very long and the other is that it is in a glass bottle so it isn't good as a 'bottom of the bag perfume'. It is a fruity and floral fragrance, but is also very light and refreshing.

My last purchase is from New Look, I bought a white lace top that has flower detailing down the front with an opaque white back with silver buttons going down.It cost £12.99 which I thought was a really good price considering similar tops can cost over £20. The top however is see very slightly see through, but it would only be noticeable if you were wearing anything brightly coloured underneath it.
