NOTD #2

 I already have a couple of W7 nail polishes however wanted more to add to my collection so around a month ago I picked this one up as I thought it was a perfect autumnal/Christmassy colour.

 

In different lights, it can look a sparkly black, pink, blue or green colour; sometimes when wearing it the light catches my nails in a certain way and the polish has a galaxy/space feel to it which as you may know, at the moment, is high on trend.
 

 

I would love to add more of these polishes to my collection as they have a variety of colours with a few special gems like this hidden amongst them. Unfortunately I do not live near a discount makeup shop where these are usually found however if you are looking to buy them in bulk; they can be found in TK Maxx.

November Favourites

I have rediscovered quite a few products this month so thought I would do my first monthly favourites post. I will try my best to post them every month however if I don’t please don’t hold a grudge against me :)

 

 

The first product or products I have been loving this month are two nail polishes; the Nails Inc Nail Polish in Tate, and the Barry M Nail Paint in 351 Yellow Topaz Glitter. Both of these nail polishes are autumnal/Christmassy colours which is one of the reasons I have been wearing them; they also look lovely separate as well as worn together. Overall I would give these 4/5

The next product I have loved this month is the Covergirl Lash Blast Volume Waterproof Mascara in ‘very black’. I picked this mascara up in the summer when I went to America and have been using it ever since; it creates long full lashes which I usually go for. I would give this mascara 5/5 and cannot wait to pick a couple more up when I go to San Francisco in February.

 

I have just started using the Soap and Glory hand food again this month as it’s starting to get colder meaning my hands have been getting dryer. This hand cream is the best I have ever tried; it keeps my hands moisturised for hours after I have applied it! I recommend this hand cream and give it 5/5

The last two products I have been loving are from Lush; I used to have quite a big obsession with Lush however recently haven’t been using their products until this month! First, the Breath of Fresh Air Skin Toner; this toner is great for taking off face makeup and gives a refreshing feel to my skin. It smells ‘Lush’ with a clean but fragranced scent. The next product is the Vanilla Dee-Lite Body Lotion; again this product is great for the dry skin that comes with winter! It smells amazing and the scent lingers on my skin for the rest of the day! I give both of these products 4/5

If anyone would like separate, more in detail reviews on any of the products, just comment down below and I will try my best to do them for you :)

NOTD #1

 I haven’t used this nail polish for a while as its quite an autumnal/wintery colour however I thought I would wear it again as I remembered how much I loved wearing it last Christmas! I have a few of the Lasting Fix Nail Polishes by 17 as they do what they say on the label – don’t chip for about 5 days which for me is pretty impressive; also for the inexpensive price of £2.99 you can’t go wrong! The one I’m wearing today is in the colour Smoke Signal; it is a mattish dark gunmetal grey colour!

 

 

You can purchase the nail polish here, also at the moment it is on offer for £2

O.P.I Nail Lacquer

For a couple of months I had been on the look for a glitter nail colour; I wanted a good brand, with lots of different coloured glitter packed into it, however I couldn’t find one in any of the drugstores I was looking in. When I travelled to America, of course this was top of my shopping list. The Cost of O.P. I Nail Lacquers in the UK are £11 – extremely pricey in my opinion however when I was in Wal-Mart I found them at $7 (£5!!) I couldn’t believe how much they were! Plus, they had this colour, the ‘dream’ colour I had been searching for.  

The Lacquer I picked up is a Nicole by O.P.I (Kardashian Kolor) in the colour Rainbow in the S-kylie. Every time I have been painting my nails I have applied this on my ring finger as I think it looks really pretty and not to over the top. It is such the perfect colour, packed with lots of glitter; you only need two coats to cover your whole finger.  I love how it different lights the different pieces of glitter shine different colours creating a magnificent colour however it also means that it will go with almost any colour nail polish. I really enjoy applying this over the top of colours as it always makes them look unique. This lacquer does not chip for at least 5 days meaning you can wear any type of nail polish underneath and it will stay perfect. I am looking forward to purchasing a few more colours in the near future.

Bourjois Magic Nail Polish Remover

Bourjois Magic Nail Polish Remover: Boots/ Superdrug (£4.99)

After hearing from a friend that Bourjois had launched a new nail polish remover that was supposedly meant to remove polish in “1 Second” I was extremely eager to try it out. I was overly excited to try this product as it was something that I know I would use quite frequently; due to the fact that I absolutely love painting my nails!

I originally thought the retail price of £4.99 was a bit expensive however after using it and discovering how superb it was, I now believe the price is suitable for such a wonderful and unique product. The concept of this product is to remove all types of polish, even those that are difficult to remove such as glitters in simply 1 second. It contains a nail polish remover soaked foam pad with a hole in the top enabling you to insert your finger; ready for it to be wiggled. During the removal of your finger, it feels saturated with the product and I find it leaves a residue however this can simply be washed off in a matter of seconds. Although it may remove one coat of polish in 1 second it doesn’t remove all signs of polish meaning you will need to re wiggle. However this is not a problem as even with second wiggling it is still much quicker than a standard nail polish remover.

I have been using this product for a good few months now and have not seen a negative difference in the product. Although i am sure it will eventually dry up, it has lasted well so far!I would defiantly recommend getting your hands on such a unique product; it has certainly been a great help to me.

Review: Wet 'n' Wild Megalast Nail Color

 

 

A couple of weeks ago while I was in America, I had a few chances to go to Walgreens to pick up a few items I had been longing for, for a while. Of course loving makeup as much as I do, I was in there a while picking and choosing different products that I wished to purchase. I was somehow drawn to the ‘wet n wild’ stand; I came away with a few of the mega last nail colours. 

These polishes retail for $1.99 (around £1.50) for a 0.45fl.oz./13.5 ml product; in my opinion certainly great value products. I did pop into a few different Walgreens and discovered that the colour selection isn’t great; only around 10. Many of the colours in the collection would beautifully accent any look adding sophistication and class.  I was extremely surprised how long lasting and opaque these colours are; providing up to 5 days of chip-resistant wear; why wouldn’t you buy them! The colours come with a new, unique, full coverage brush that glides on smooth in one stroke application meaning an easier and also quicker application. 

From left to right 205B ‘Sugar Coat’, 206C ‘Undercover’, 218A ‘I Need a Refresh-Mint’, ‘Clear Top Coat’

my favourite being ‘I Need a Refresh-Mint’

Unfortunately wet n wild is not sold in the UK however I am hoping to purchase the rest next February in San Francisco. Also links below where to buy online:
