Mini Polish Haul: Boots and Superdrug





1) Love this, super shiny polish! Perfect for this time of year. This costs £3.99
2) Doesn't really work, supposed to create a pattern if you moved the magnet above the wet polish but didn't. Colour is ok but wouldnt't waste £3.50 on another one.
3) This one was free as most brands are on 3 for 2 at Superdrug at the moment but to be honest isn't that great, just  basic green glitter. No real texture to it. 
4) Now this is the ultimate green glitter, i'm a little bit in love with this product. If you already own the Model's Own HedKandi Ibiza Mix it's quite a similar texture but with just green and gold glitters. I'm going to wear it (probably rather a lot) over christmas with a white base.
5) Finally I just picked up another Models Own nail pen in blue which i love, i'm not massively skilled in this area but love doing polka dot nails :)

All Model's Own polishes are on buy one get one half price in Boots at the moment.....

All That Glitters.... and a HUGE thank you!!!

First of all a MASSIVE thank you to everyone who follows my blog, yesterday I hit the big 3-00 and am literally over the moon :)

Now onto today's post which is about one of my fave things Glittery Nail Polish :)

Here is my collection...

And swatches :) These are in the same order...


My fave is the Model's Own Ibiza Mix, this looks amazing when you put it on top of a base colour.

My least fave is the Glamour Glitter that came free in this month's mag, i've put it next to the Model's own polish and as you can see it looks pretty poor next to it.

My fave bargain is the Primark black glitter which came in a set and worked out at just 50p.

I'm off to buy some new glitters this week so any recommendations would be greatly appreciated?

Thanks for reading, this is only a quick post as I am full of cold and feeling very sorry for myself :(

Thanks for reading.

Where I Keep Things and Faves :)

Bit of a different style of post today, basically letting all of you know where i keep my stuff and some of my fave things in the world.

Nails

I'm a bit of a nail varnish hoarder! And keep my vast collection of my window ledge... I know this is going to sound tragic but to avoid sun damage I always put a scarf over them when it's sunny outside! In fact throughout the summer months i tend to pop them on my bookcase.


As you can see Model's Own tends to be my brand of choice :) 

Here are 3 of my all time fave polishes.

The first is Nails Inc Paddington Street which is a fab shade for this time of year, you can buy this in this fab gift set for just £20 which includes 3 other colours. Its available from the beauty bay here.
Second up is a Barry M polish in Silvery Lilac, i like Barry M and always tend to pick a few up when they're on 3 for 2 which they always seem to be! Treat yourself with the weekly shop and pick it on from Tesco online here for just £2.99
Finally is a polish i picked up in the half price models own sale and though it's very summery i'm totally in love with it. The shade is Jade stone and is available here for a fiver :)

Make Up

Before last week my make up collection was a bit of a mess, until the make up artist style carry case entered my life that is!!!

Some of my fave make up products are as below.

Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow is currently my fave foundation, though it is heavy and I do tend to use a cheapo 17 one during the day for a lighter look. It's pretty good value at £24.50, i buy the shade Warm Me Toasted as i'm quite pale :) You can pick up this product here.

And here are the best of the rest...
Naked Palette - I am still reveling in this absolute bargain - i picked this up for just £21 in the Jet2 end of season sale!! I'm afraid that if you're not flying Jet2 in the next couple of weeks it's going to set you back £36 but is worth every penny. I have used this product every day since buying it and really don't think i'll ever need to buy another eye shadow set. (Just to clarify i will i just won't need to).

You can buy NAKED from Debenhems here.


Next up is my fave blusher which is one i actually only use in the evenings as it's way to heavy for the day. I buy the MAC cremeblush blend in Posey for £17.50 as you can see from the picture this product is running very very low but i have had it since January so and used it on most night's out so it's lasted pretty well. You can buy this here.


Sugarlicious is one of Benefits lip and cheek kits and it ideal for throwing into your handbag as it contains some of my fave benefit products in travel sized bottles and a mirror!!! The sugarbomb blusher is a perfect day time blusher when you want a naturalish look. You can buy this here for £24.50

Next up is my eyeliner of choice- I have hundreds of eyeliners, gel, liquid, pencil, you name it and i've probably tried it at some point but i keep going back to the Mac Powerpoint eye pencil in black obviously! There is a really nice metalically shimmer to it and it looks great when doing a smokey eye. You can buy this for £14.50 here.
I blogged about the recent Cargo makeup stand closing down in Boots and how i picked up a 30 quid mascara for just under 7, i'm obsessed with this mascara which is the lash activator triple action but have no idea where i'm going to get another one from, if anyone knows i will be eternally grateful :)

Finally is my current fave lipstick which is only a cheapy but I love it. It's one of the Kate Moss rimmel ones in shade 12 which is a fab orangey red shade :) You can buy this for just £5.49 here


 I was also going to blog about my jewellery storage but realize I've blabbed on enough for today :)
What items are your faves? Any recommendations? xxx

Birthday in Budapest :)


Hello lovelies,

Sorry for the lack of posting i've been away in Budapest with my boyfriend celebrating my birthday.

First of all here's a picture of my present haul!!!
Not too bad if i do say so myself! 

Also a hot tip anyone flying with jet2 soon save your pennies as they are selling the Urban Decay Naked palette for just £21!! Literally couldn't believe this bargain, no more Mua Undressed for me :)

My brother also got me a fab case for all my make up which i was overly excited about :)

So here are a few photos from Budapest...


The beautiful Corinthia Spa
Strolling along the river :)

View from the hills :)

Budapest is a beautiful city and i can not recommend it more to people, it's also very very good value for a European capital and you can pick up a bottle of beer for around 75p!!

How's everyone elses weekend's been?
