Favourite nail polish brand: Nails Inc.

This is a scheduled post as I am currently on holiday so won't be able to reply to any comments until I am home (13th August).

I always have my nails painted and because of this I have many different brands of nail polishes. I thought I would show you all my favourite brand which is 'nails inc' and show you some of the colours that I own.

The two pictures above show some of the nail polishes that I own by nails inc. and I have swatched them all underneath so you are able to see what they look like on (not all the shades look very accurate due to the lighting).

I absolutely love nails inc nail polishes as they are extremely easy to paint on, dry very quickly and last for ages! I can some times leave my nails painted one colour for around 10 days when using nails inc. with only minor chips occurring in this time!

The only downside of nails inc. nail polishes is the price, they are around £11. To me this is rather expensive but luckily I haven't bought any! My auntie buys them and sends them to me all the time so I get them for free (yay!)

Overall I would definitely recommend them!

Have you tried nails inc.? What is your favourite nail polish brand?

Have a great day! :)

Tangle Teezer dupe for £1.50?

This is a scheduled post as I am currently on holiday so won't be able to reply to any comments until I am home (13th August).

I don't know whether you have heard of the new tangle teezer dupe or not but is only £1.50 from primark, bargain right?

I haven't ever tried a tangle teezer so I cannot actually compare the dupe to the actual brush but I can make comparisons visually. As you can see by the pictures above, the shape is pretty similar as is the size. I love the size of the brush as it fits in the palm of the hand and is small enough to put in a handbag. 

As for the brush itself, I think it is very good at getting out tangles, especially when my hair is wet and therefore it will be a great thing for me to use whilst on holiday!

You can buy the tangle teezer's from boots for around £10.99 (here) and the dupe from primark for £1.50.

Have you tried the dupe?

Have a great day! :)

NOTD: Essie 'bikini so teeny'

This is a scheduled post as I am currently on holiday so won't be able to reply to any comments until I am home (13th August).

Today's NOTD post is using the first every essie nail polish I've bought, 'bikini so teeny'. I have never previously used an essie nail polish before so don't have anything to compare it to but I absolutely LOVE the colour! 

This nail polish cost me £7.50 off Ebay (sorry I cannot find the link) and for me that is a lot to spend but as I loved the colour I decided to purchase it. I found this nail polish is extremely easy to apply but found it was quite thin so it took me three coats to make it look opaque. After applying the nail polish I applied a top coat but found that it started to chip after 1-2 days. This is quite a shame as essie is raved about in the blogger world but I have ordered more essie nail polishes so I shall see what I think of essie as a brand overall.

Have you tried 'bikini so teeny?'

Have a great day! :)

Goodbye England...

Today I am going to sunny Menorca for two weeks! woooo! I just thought I'd let all my followers know that I have scheduled a couple of posts for when I am away so that you have something new to read on my blog whilst I am away. It also gave me an excuse to post a picture of my younger sister wearing the snorkelling sets we have bought to use when we are away haha! (her forehead looks really wrinkly but I ensure you that it is the mask doing this!)

Anyway I hope you all have a brilliant two weeks as I know I will and I'll post about my holiday when I come back!

Have a great day! :)

What's in my makeup bag?

Hello everyone!

This post will contain of what I have in my everyday makeup bag and what I think of some of the products that I use.

The makeup bag I am currently using cost £3 and is from primark. I love it as it is such a cute makeup bag but also fits so much stuff in it! I am going to divide my makeup into three sections: face, eyes and lips.

The picture above shows the different products that I am currently using for my face. These products are:

- Pressed power (unsure of what brand, I've had it for a while)

- Clinique moisturiser

- Rimmel lasting finish foundation: shade ivory

- Natural collection cover up cream

- MUA pressed powder

- Two brushes from the body shop

- Rimmel Blusher

- Avon cover up stick

- Face sponge

My favourite products out of all of this are the foundation, moisturiser and the blusher. I've been using this foundation for a while now and absolutely love it, I feel like it stays on my face for the whole day and gives me complete coverage. The moisturiser is actually a sample from clinique as my auntie always sends me them and I think they are amazing! I will never put on makeup without using the moisturiser first as it makes my face extremely soft! The blusher adds a little bit more to the everyday look and is the only blusher that I have ever used and I love it!

The eye makeup that I use is:

- Eyelash curlers (not branded)
- Clinique eye shadow (brown and pale pink)
- Two different eye liners (not branded & one is a spare)
- Beauty rush chubby eye stick (haven't actually used this)
- Rimmel waterproof mascara
- Collection 2000 eye liner felt tip
- Maybelline Great lash mascara
- Miss sporty waterproof mascara
- Rimmel waterproof volume mascara
- Avon super enchant mascara

My favourite eye products are my eye liners and my Avon mascara, I need to get a new one but I wear eye liner everyday and is the one piece of makeup that I always have to use! I got the Avon mascara free when I bought some other products off the Avon website and I absolutely love the mascara! The mascara makes my eye lashes look extremely long but also makes them have a nice curl (unfortunately I don't think Avon sell it as a product) :(

I'm not really a person for lip products so don't actually keep that many in my makeup bag. The ones I do keep in there are:

- Revlon lip butters x3 'cotton candy', 'cupcake' and 'sugar frosting'
- MUA lip balm in 'sugar lips' and 'great lips'

I love all of these products and I did a review on the Revlon lip butters here.

What makeup products do you keep in your makeup bag?

Thanks for reading :)

Review: MUA loveheart lip balms

Hello everyone!

Today's post is going to be a review about two of the MUA loveheart lip balms that I purchased in my superdrug haul a couple of weeks ago. Like every other blogger in the world I absolutely love MUA products as they are extremely cheap but amazing quality and when I heard about these lip balms I knew I had to get my hands on some!

The two I decided to buy were sugar lips (here) and great lips (here). Sugar lips is a pink colour and great lips is more of a nude colour.

I absolutely love both of these lip balms! They add a nice colour to the lips but are also extremely moisturising. My favourite out of the two is great lips. I find that great lips gives the lips a bit more of a colour as sugar lips does and this is the reason as to why I tend to wear this one more.

These lip balms are only £2 each and are extremely good value for money and therefore I would recommend that people at least try one pot, because if you decide you don't like it then you're not losing out on a lot of money!

Have you tried these? What do you think of them/

Have a great day!

Review: Olay face products

Hello everyone!

So for today's post I thought I would review some Olay face products that I purchased during my superdrug haul.

The products I am going to be reviewing by Olay are conditioning milk, refreshing toner and eye makeup remover. I bought them for only £1.50 each and they are currently on the same deal (half price).

Eye makeup remover:

The first thing I do when cleansing my face is take off the makeup that I'm wearing. I had never tried any Olay products before so was a bit sceptical about buying this but as it was so cheap I thought it was worth trying. As I wear waterproof mascara I was a bit unsure as to whether this would work or not but as soon as I used it I knew this was my new 'must have' product! The smell isn't too overpowering but I think it is a lovely refreshing smell and you only need to use a small bit of the product to get all of your eye makeup off! It is extremely sensitive and leaves your eyes feeling lovely and refreshed. I will definitely be buying this product again!

Conditioning milk:

After taking my makeup off I then use the conditioning milk. The conditioning milk like the eye makeup remover has an amazing smell but it is definitely more obvious in the conditioning milk. However, it still isn't overpowering. I love the conditioning milk as it is quite runny but not too much and automatically leaves your face feeling refreshed. 

Refreshing toner:

After the conditioning milk, I use the refreshing toner and this is liquid so it is a very runny product. However,  it is still as amazing as the other products and I love using all of them. I will definitely repurchase this one again as well.

Overall, all of the products are amazing and for the price I think everyone should try them! I will definitely be repurchasing all of these products once they are ran out and as I use them both morning and evening I think this will be fairly soon. 

Have you tried any of these?

Have a great day! :)
