Sale nails

I recently said i had bought some nail varnish in the ASOS sale, it arrived today so i couldn't wait to test it out...

1) O.P.I - Color to dine for

I really like this shade... when on its a deep, dark red with a gold shimmer

I gave my nails 2 coats but to be honest 1 coat was thick and covered well - the second coat just make them a bit more glossy

I'm very pleased with this one, especially with the reduced price tag... £7.50 instead of the normal £11

2) Models Own - Mixed up

In the bottle, i LOVED this shade, but when i first applied it i wasn't too impressed at all. The colour was streaky and really thin. It took me about 4 coats to get it how i wanted it - but then i loved it :)

It does take numerous coats but when they are complete its thick and super sparkly!!! Not too dissimilar to a Topshop one i bought a while ago 'Gypsy Nights' i believe although the models own one seems thicker and glossier!!

I paid £3.50 but it is normally £5

All in all really happy with these two purchases!!!

 Love a bargain x x x

(took some photos with and some without the flash just so you could see the sparkle)

Newlook bits&bobs

This is just a few snaps of items i have bought from work *Newlook* recently (most this week) The boots are my new fave - have barely had them off since i bought them & they were super super super cheap and somewhat resemble a Topshop fave ;) x x x

Polkadots

Did these using some new nail art pens that i bought from work at the weekend (Newlook). The pack of two was £6.99 and they are classes as a 3-in-1 (paint, draw and jewels). The nail polish was surprisingly glossy, i thought with them just being aimed at nail art the polish would suffer but it didn't :) although the brush to apply the product was a cheap one and wasn't very precise.

I have just purchased some new nail varnish from ASOS as they had a bit of a sale on :)

I got O.P.I 'colour to dine for' which seems like a lovely deep red and Models own 'mixed up' which is a sparkly black.

Colour to dine for = £7.50 originally £11

Mixed up = £3.50 originally £5

Yey!!!

oooops a daisy

I'm off work poorly sick today and spent it all in bed watching trash TV, feeling sorry for myself... well that was until i started browsing online & before i knew it i was grabbing myself some goodies to make myself feel better  - Well that's my excuse anyway ;)

1)

2)

3)

1) Benefit Pore-fessional - which claims to tighten pores and also works as a primer. I am and always have been a huge fan of benefit so have always wanted to try this but never got round to it, but recently I've read blog after blog about just how amazing it is so i decided i had to get myself some :)

Just to make sure i love it and that it is right for me i purchased a small travel size taster then if i like it i will purchased the full size.

2) Nail art tools - i bought some nail art pens and also some nail art 'dotters' and i cant wait to give them a go :) should make nail art a breeze (or so im hoping) I got them off ebay and they were only a few £ so im excited to give them a go.

3) Travalo mini perfume spray - I had never heard of these untill recently reading someones review on them... Such a good idea!!! I'm forever lugging a huge glass bottle of perfume around with me in my bag and for nights out but this little nifty number allows you to fill it up with your favorite scents and off you pop... simple as that. You attach it to the nozzle of your perfume bottle as spray your desired amount and there you have it... your faves ready to go.

I also bidded on loads of products on ebay but don't want to curse winning them by talking about them haha - lets just say if i win them all i'm in trouble £££

Organisation freak

So i would love to pretend i had a wild weekend... but as rock and roll as my Saturday night got was a complete make up and nail varnish organisation fest. I have been meaning to do it for some time now, so with everyone being busy i thought what better time.

I popped into Wilkinson's on my break at work and stocked up on some 'handy baskets' and went from there...

I actually really enjoyed having a good sort out - as i love getting everything organised and tidy. I was hoping though that i would be cut-throat and get rid of the stuff i don't use or like... i did manage to wave goodbye to some old stuff but in all honesty it just left me wanting to buy loads of new stuff to put in my new baskets haha! - nail varnishes and lippys especially. So perhaps when pay day FINALLY arrives ill treat myself to some new goodies in some nice new spring shades.

For now i am storing the baskets under my dressing table - but think i might get one of them plastic draw unis to keep everything together next to my mirror :)

How does everyone else keep there make up etc organised?

& also any ideas on some new spring make up shades?

Pink Fizz

Painted my nails with Models Own 'Pink Fizz' today

Had this polish for a while - but not used it since before Christmas.

I love the subtle colour and the coverage is fab!!! I only did one layer and it covered really well.

Have been really into dark colours lately but i thought what better to cheer up this drab Feb!!

(polish is £5 but i got it in the River Island sale for £2 - Bargain)

My new obsession

Well.. i have gone and found myself a new obsession

BEAUTY BOX'S

I just love the whole idea of them.... basically if you haven't heard (and i'm sure you have) you pay the monthly fee and receive a gorgeous box filled with 5 high end samples - and sometimes even a full size goodie makes its way in there.

I signed up to the Carmine beauty box last month after reading several blogs about it, its pay £10 (plus P+P) a month and you can unsubscribe at any time.  (There will be a review of those items to follow)

Then this morning while browsing some other blogs i came across 'Glossy box' which looks amazing!!! its again £10 a month(plus P+P) and can be unsubscribed whenever you feel like it.  ill upload my review of this one when it arrives later in the month.

So this month i shall receive Feb's Carmine and Glossy box - eeeeeeeeeek!!!
