Nails: Barry m 308 nail paint with a hint of sparkle


I think that this is just a lovely summery colour. It is Barry m 's nail polish in 308 it is a lovely lilac colour. Then on every other finger I have elf's twinkle nail polish on the top. It isn't very clear on the picture, but hopefully you can still see.

Bourjois volume glamour max definition mascara review

I find it very hard to find mascara that looks nice on me. Usually it just goes clumpy or it looks like I have spider legs as eye lashes, which personally I don't like that look. I have had my eye on this Bourjois mascara for a while now.


I noticed the wand and it looked like a wand that my eyes would get along with. I don't get on to well with fibre brushes, I prefer plastic wands. Now it claims to have 500 bristles but since I don't have that much time on my hands to count 500 bristles, I guess I'm just going to take there word for it. The wand also has a sort of spiky tip on the end which helps you get to there outer lashes.


The formula is very nice, it doesn't flake, it holds a curl nicely, lengthens the lashes and it gives a nice amount of volume. I am not to bothered about maximum volume in my mascara but if you add a few more coats, you will get enough.

Before


 After                               Sorry for the terrible lighting


I don't wear mascara every day because I always seem to end up forgetting I've got it on, then touching my eyes, and then I end up with panda eyes. But when I can be bothered to put it on, I go for this because I absolutely love it.

How I get rid of spots quickly


Panoxyl acnegel is a product I just could not live without. I used it when I used to have a big problem with spots and it really did make a massive difference.I have never actually had acne but I have had problems with spots. Using this in my skincare routine really helped clear my skin. Now I do still get spots, especially around that time of the month. So whenever i felt a spot coming on or I have a spot. I pop this on and by morning it has gone or has significantly reduced in size.


 I have it in 5% benzoyl peroxide but I would recommend 2.5% for your first try because it is quite drying and if you only get spot occasionally it will be a shock how strong it is. It is a clear gel that you rub into the skin. I apply it over my moisturiser because I have dry to normal skin, so that way it isn't so drying.

 I get mine from Boots pharmacy and I think that you can just get it from just about any pharmacy. I hope this helps you !!!!

Aussie miracle hair insurance review

I have gone through 3 of these Aussie miracle hair insurance spray because I absolutely love it. It contains jojoba seed oil which is a great moisturiser. It smells lovely I always get complements when I have this in my hair. It really does detangle the hair and helps your brush get rid of the knots.


Now I don't know for sure if it does protect my hair but I do know that I have hardly any split ends and obviously it could be down to do with the other products in my haircare routine but when I do run out and I don't use it for a few days until I get another. My hair doesn't feel as nourished and I do find a few split ends.


I put this in my hair when it is damp, after I have washed it. You don't wash this out, you live it in and then blow dry your hair or let your hair air dry. I definetly would recommended this product. You can get this from Boots, superdrug and I've seen it a few different supermarkets. It costs £4.49 and there usually on offer for 3 for £10 on Aussie products. I just love this product !!!!!

Liz Earle makeup

Yesterday, I found this in the letter box. I started looking inside and it got me quite excited. Liz Earle has started a makeup range! I absolutely love Liz Earle skincare and I hope I will love the makeup too. I have heard of the sheer skin tint before and I have read some good reviews. I think that it was her first makeup product she released. Anyway, here are some pictures of the new makeup products.




The products do look very nice. Hopefully in a few days I will be able to get my hands on some from John Lewis.

Have you tried any Liz Earle makeup? What did you think?

Little disclaimer : This post is not sponsored and I am not affiliated with Liz Earle. I just wanted to tell you about these products.

Getting ready for summer!!!

Now about 3 days ago, where I live in the UK. We had a little glimmer of sunlight and it got me in the mood to fake tan. I am very pale and I don't get a natural tan easily, so I usually just fake it. I've tried a few fake tans before, some were successful and some I ended up looking like a carrot! Then 3 days ago I found my St moriz and I remembered how much I love it.


Now the packaging isn't as nice as St tropez but the product inside is lovely. I have the mousse which isn't my favourite formulation of fake tan but still nice.


I use a tanning mitt to apply, to avoid orange hands and stop streaks. I am in love with the colour it is sooo natural but still gives a good tan. The only down side to this product is the smell. It is the strongest fake tan smell I have ever tried (very biscuity.)



The best thing about this product is that it is around £3. I got mine from home bargains, you can also get it from savers, fragrance direct and I have also seen it on eBay.

Nails: NARS schiap nail polish

I'm not really a big fan of pink usually, but recently I have really been loving it more and more. So when I rediscovered this nail polish, I couldn't resist putting it on. Schiap is a dark fuchsia pink and I love it.
I have very brittle nails so I have to use a base coat or else my nail varnish tends to look terrible. I just use the Boots own base coat and it works fine.
Please excuse how messy they are, I was in a rush and well there wasn't any time to tidy them up.
