Blogmas ¦ Day 1 - November favourites

 

I actually really struggled with picking my favourites this month. I seen to have tried so many products that I've really enjoyed so narrowing them down was pretty tough. However in the end I managed to get it down to five absolutely awesome products.

 

If you read my drugstore lip lacquer post (Here) then you will know that both the lip products I'm showing you today made it into the top category. Sleek Matte me in Birthday suit is the perfect "Kylie Jenner" lip colour for me. It's a brown-y pink nude which looks stunning on it's own but I also love to pair it with a darker nude liner to make it a little darker. It feels incredibly comfortable on the lips and last for hours and hours without fading or beginning to break up. The other lip lacquer I have is the I heart makeup Lip lava in Firestorm which is a beautiful dark red shade. This goes one glossy and then after a couple of hours the gloss wears off and you are left with a slightly lighter red stain which lasts all day.

 

Eye wise I've been loving the Collection Your mood your style palette which contains two looks. One which is pink toned and the other which is more bronze toned. These shadows are beautiful, the quality is excellent for the price, they blend seamlessly and the staying power is also pretty impressive. Something that I've had for a while is the Gosh Velvet touch liner in the shade Black ink. For the past couple of months I've been using it pretty much every single day to tightline my eyes and I love it. It's the only kohl liner I've found that doesn't end up all smudged underneath my eyes at the end of the day. I just love the way it makes my lashes look much thicker.

 

Finally for this months favourites I have a nail shade that I was obsessed with about this time of year last year. Essie Aruba blue is a gorgeous metallic dark blue shade. As with al Essie polishes the wear time is pretty good and I can get about three and a half days wear out of it before it starts chipping.

 

 

So that's it for this months favourites. I hope you enjoyed this post and I'd love for you to let me know what your favourites are in the comments.

Beauty ¦ October favourites

So October is over and it's basically Christmas. Today's it's time for my October favourites. This month I've been turning to some old favourites as I didn't buy much at the start of the month.

 

Starting of with the only non-beauty product in this months favourites I have the Muji Berry tart candle. This smells so beautiful, it's sweet however it isn't over powering and sickly. I've also found that it has burnt so cleanly (candles that burn unevenly are one of my pet hates) For £3.50 I didn't expect the quality and I really wished I'd picked up more scents.

I really love Revlon as a brand in general and the Primer, shadow and sparkle palette in the shade Metropolitan is no exception. The lid shade reminds me a lot of Mac patina shadow and the glitter is absolutely stunning. The shades in here are all well pigmented and blendable and have a good 6 hours wear without primer and a good 9 with primer.

 

Gosh's CC cream is something I can only use when I'm tanned as I have it in a pretty dark shade. Every time I wear it I absolutely love it. The formula is incredibly hydrating so it doesn't cling to any dry patches. It leaves the skin looking glowing and healthy as well as natural without compromising on coverage. On a good skin day I can easily wear this with no concealer.

 

 

I wasn't expecting much from the Ps love lip liner in 09 however I'm so impressed. It's a stunning mauvey browny pink shade which works nicely under nude lipsticks to darken them a little. It isn't a chalky liner and although it's not moisturizing it doesn't feel like it is drying my lips out either. For £1 I definitely need to go and pick up more shades.

 

Soap and glory thick and fast is a very different mascara for me. If you read my blog regularly you will know that I am a huge fan of Benefit They're real which offers pretty dramatic lashes. In comparison this mascara is a lot mor natural however I've been really enjoying wearing it on a day to day basis. The formula is also pretty nice and leaves the lashes nicely separated and lengthened, however just a side note it is definitely not cry proof!

 

Finally for my October favourites I have the Perricone MD Chia serum. This is something I would have never purchased myself as it's so god damn expensive however I have fallen in love with it. It's helped clear up the dry sin on my face and bar larger breakouts around that time of the month my spots have cleared u considerably. I've also found it's really helped combat my oily nose. A little side note despite the fact that it's expensive I've been using this bottle for about two months and I'm not even a quarter of the way down yet so a little definitely goes a long way.

Beauty ¦ August Favourites

This months favourites are pretty limited, if you read my everyday makeup post on Wednesday (Here if you didn't) You will be aware that I haven't been wearing a lot of makeup this recently as it's either been too hot or I just haven't needed to as I'm not at school at the moment. So without further ado lets get on with the favourites.

 

 

Eucerin Factor 50 Facial SPF for combination/oily skin

 

I have never actually used a facial SPF as I'm super lazy but when I won a load of Eucerin suncare in a giveaway I decided it was about time as I gave one a go. This one is no way near greasy which is one of the things I was terrified of. Despite the fact that my skin hasn't been as oily as it usually is throughout the summer I haven't found this has dried out my skin.

 



Catrice Illuminating blush - I am nuts about you

 

This is something that Theresa bought me over from Germany and I absolutely love it. It's the perfect mixture of bronze and peach with a slight golden shimmer running through it. It leaves a gorgeous peachy sheen on the skin which adds lots of glow to the face. I think I'm much more likely to use this in the summer as I fell it's not going to work as well when my skin is pale.

 

Maybelline Brow satin pencil - Dark brown

 

I've been looking for a brow pencil that's a little cheaper than my favourite Benefit Brow pencil. This isn't quite as wet however I do really love it. The pencil is a nice grey toned brown shade and it leaves my brows a little lighter than I usually have them which I've been really enjoying. I'm not a big fan of the weird sponge and powder end as I don't find it really does anything.

 



Maybelline Super stay better skin concealer

 

I mentioned this in my post last Sunday (Here if you fancy a read) I've been on a little bit of a concealer obsession at the moment. This one is high coverage without being cakey and it covers blemishes brilliantly. It reminds me of a more hydrating version of the Collection lasting perfection concealer. The only thing I would say is that the shade is a little too dark for me and sadly I don't think I'm going to be able to use it when I don't have a tan.

Beauty ¦ May favourites

 

 So you know it's the end of may, (incoming blogger cliché) where has this year gone. I've actually got a mixed bunch of favourites this month. My favourites are usually pretty makeup heavy but I've got a bit of everything this month.

 

L'Oreal Ever Riche No sulphates shampoo and conditioner.

 

I'm not usually one to bother about hair care, as long as my hair feels clean and smells nice I'm not overly bothered. However lately I've had a very dry and sore scalp so I've been on the lookout for a shampoo and conditioner that are a little more gentle. These are perfect they are super gentle but they still smell nice and make my hair feel really clean. I've also found since using these there has been a lot less build up in my hair.

 

Quick fix facials Mega moisture mask.

 

I've only used this a couple of times but I am so in love with it. My skin has been so dry at the moment and nothing seems to be fixing it. However I've found this has pumped some serious moisture into my skin. After two uses my skin feels much more hydrated and plumped and for £4.99 there isn't anything bad about this product.

 

Dove Summer glow nourishing lotion.

 

This is something that I use every summer without fail. It gives the most natural looking and subtle tan but if I use it a couple of times a week you can build up a really lovely and intense tan which still looks natural. However I will mention it does smell like fake tan so you can end up smelling like a barrel of biscuits if you aren't careful.

 

Maybelline Super stay 7 days Nail polish - Hot salsa.

 

I have had this polish on my toes all month as it is the most amazing summery colour. I absolutely love the formula of these polishes and on the toes they last a good 1-2 weeks before they need re-doing. This shade is just the perfect shade for summer and I seriously suggest everyone gives it a go!

 

Maybelline Colour sensational lip gloss - Glorious grapefruit

 

I've been wearing my hair up a lot this month so I've been reaching for lip gloss quite a lot. I'm not usually a lip gloss person however I really like these. They are a little stickier than my beloved Clarins Instant light natural lip perfector these are still pretty amazing. They pack a nice punch of colour and they last a really nice amount of time for a gloss. I find I get about 4 hours wear out of them before they have completely gone from the lips.

 

 

L'Oreal Colour riche eyeshadow - Café saint german

 

This was a shadow that so many people talked about last year however I've only just got around to picking it up. It's a really lovely pinky rose gold shade and I've been wearing it alone with lots of mascara for a really lovely pop on the lids. The formula is so creamy and it blends beautifully with other shadows.

 

Bourjois Rouge edition - Pink pong

 

My final favourite is something I am definitely regretting not trying earlier. I had heard so many things about these and I thought that they would be a bit overhyped however now I've tried them I'm so impressed. They are super matte however they don't feel drying. There lasting power is insane and I find it difficult to get them off at the end of the night even with a oil based cleanser. I love this shade and I have a feeling I'm going to wear it a lot more over the summer.

Beauty ¦ March favourites

 

A pinch and a punch for the first of the month.

 

Hello April you came around awfully fast and I'm super happy about that the days are getting longer and spring is well and truly on it's way. This month I've been buying lots of summery makeup and close and getting very excited.

 

This months favourites is actually quite a large one. With it being my birthday I've received and bought lots of new beauty bits with my money which I will show you all in a haul on sunday. All but one of these things I've actually purchased or received this month so I'm super excited to show them all to you. If you are interested in reading my birthday haul it's //Here// and as I said before my March haul will be up on Sunday. So without further a ramble lets get into my March beauty favourites.
 

The only favourite that I haven't bought this month is the Barry M Gelly high shine nail paint in Blueberry, which is just the most beautiful brightened cornflour blue. I love the finish and the lasting power of these polishes but this colour just has my heart at the moment. It's perfect for spring and I can see me wearing it a lot more in the next couple of months. I picked up the Body shop Camomile silky cleansing oil when I went in to repurchase the cleansing butter and I'm really glad I did. I fee like this removes makeup a little easier than the butter and I also find it's been going a lot further than the butter did as I feel like I only need to cleanse once.

 

I've heard so much hype about the Stila In the light palette and now I completely get it, the shades are stunning and work beautifully together. There's a good mix of shades so I can create so many looks out of the one palette. All the shades all well pigmented and creamy including the four matte shades. My favourite shades are Kitten and Sandstone. Charlotte Tilbury Bitch perfect is possibly my perfect nude lipstick, it's more on the peachy side of things with a creamy formula and an impressive lasting power combined with the beautiful packaging it may just be my favourite lipstick ever (Now that's a big claim)

 



Another product that is seriously hyped in the blogging community is the Nars Sheer glow foundation I tried to hold off from picking this up as it isn't cheap and I was worried I wouldn't get on with it however I'm so glad I bit the bullet and gave it a go because I'm in love. The finish is stunning and it blends beautifully on the skin leaving a very natural medium coverage which can be built. If you haven't given this a go yet I seriously suggest you give it a try!

Something I've loved using underneath sheer glow is the L'Oreal infallible primer which is amazing at prolonging the wear of foundation but also find it blurs and smooth's my skin well. It has a silicone-y texture which I like from a primer but if you're not a fan of that kind of texture I'd steer clear. Maybelline's Instant eraser eye has been out for ages but I never got around to picking it up. It's a really amazing under eye concealer. It offers a good amount of coverage and it doesn't settle even if I don't powder it. I haven't actually used this on blemishes due to the sponge applicator as it would just spread the bacteria however I have read it doesn't work amazingly on spots.

I first saw the Barry M contour kit on Kate from Sugarfixx's Facebook page and I knew I needed it I'm a big fan of contouring as I have a chubby face and I am really loving this one. I'm not the biggest fan of the middle powder as I find for me personally it's a little muddy however the darkest contour shade is something I've been reaching for everyday. It has the perfect amount of grey in it to make it look natural whilst really making a difference. This months final favourite is the Nuxe Reve de Miel a chocolate orange scented uber hydrating lip balm. What more can you ask for. I also love the fact that it's matte as it means it goes well under lipstick without changing the finish in anyway.

Beauty ¦ February favourites

I know everyone says this but how is it the end of february already, I can't quite believe it's almost my birthday it feels like it was only christmas two minutes ago. I've got quite a lot of favourites this month so i'm just going to get on with it! 

The first favourite this month is something I wouldn't usually include but I've been burning it so much I had to. Yankee Black cherry is a really nice and fruity and a little sweet. It's a really lovely scent for people who are fans of sweet scents. 

Soap and glory Butter yourself  is the perfect moisturizer for in a morning as it smells really fruity and sinks into the skin. It's actually motivated me to moisturize in the morning as it smells so good. I was super excited when I spotted the new Maybelline colour tattoos in boots the shade Creamy beige is such an amazing everyday base colour. I'm really enjoying using this one however it still hasn't overtaken my favourite mac paint pot. The Clinique cheek pop in berry pop is something I've been reaching for pretty much everyday for the past 3 weeks. It's a really beautiful bright pink however on the cheeks it gives a super natural pink flush. 

The new Collection nude bronze eyes uncovered palette is really amazing for the price, the quality is stunning and the shades are really lovely. Pigmentation wise the only shade I was a little disappointed with was the darkest brown however all the other shades are stunning and aren't overly glittery which is something I find a fair amount of drugstore eyeshadows have too much glitter in them.  L'oreal Nude magique blur cream is a really nice alternative to benefit porefessional. It's not quite the same and it doesn't blur pores as effectively this being said it does still work really nicely and helps smooth out the skin. If you aren't willing to splash out for porefessional this is lovely however for me it's brill so I don't have to use porefessional all the time. 

The final three products I have are lip products Mac brick o'la is amazing for transitioning from the colder months into spring as it's a really brown toned red so it's not too vampy but still a bit darker than your average red. Topshop lolly is a gorgeous sheer bright pink however i'm not going to talk about it too much as i'm not 100% sure but I think it's been discontinued but it's a lovely hydrating very sheer pink shade. The final product in this months favourites is the Soap and glory lip lacquer in the shade charm offensive. This is a little sticky when it's first applied but once it sets down it's going nowhere and it hangs around all day. It feels nice and hydrating on the lips and once the stickiness has gone it feels really comfortable. 

Maybelline creamy beige, Clinique berry pop, Mac brick o'la, Topshop lolly, Soap and glory charm offensive.

Beauty ¦ January favourites

I'll be glad to see the back of January this year, it's been a month full of mock exams and coursework hand in dates. Despite this I've found some real gems this month, some dug from the very depths of my collection and a couple of new bits. 

Revlon Photoready Primer, shadow and sparkle palette - Impressionist £8.99

I picked up two of these as Revlon were having a 2 for £10 offer on eyes and lips. I am so impressed with the quality of these and I'm really glad I picked up two. Impressionist has been the one i've been reaching for on a daily basis as it's a little more neutral and subtle than the other palette I picked up (Metropolitan). The shadows are incredibly pigmented and blend like a dream. Over a primer these lasted about 8 hours before they began to show signs of wear. There will be a full review of these with swatches going up sometime in february so keep a look out for that if you are interested in these. 

Nars - Virtual domination palette (LE) Review //Here//

I know this palette is limited edition so I wasn't going to talk about it but then when I thought about it my two favourite shades in the palette are Laguna and Deep throat which are both permanent shades. I have fallen head over heels in love with Laguna and I've worn it pretty much everyday since I was bought this. Deep throat is by far my favourite blush shade in the palette, it's the most gorgeous corally pink shade with lots of finely milled gold glitter. I've been reaching for this one most days so they've both had a lot of love this month. 

Essence Match 2 cover concealer - 10 Natural beige £2.50

This was something I picked up when I went to germany and it ended up getting left without me even trying it so when I dug it out I was amazed at how much I liked it. The product itself is so creamy and it blends into the skin like an absolute dream. I find it lasts well and works on both blemishes and under the eyes so it's the perfect little duo to chuck in my blazer with a little concealer brush. 

Nuxe Reve De Miel Lip moisturizing stick £5.50 

I was so happy when I won this in a giveaway and I am so in love with it the pot version went straight on my birthday wishlist. It smells amazing but that's beside the point this is a little tube of miracles. I have horribly dry lips and this has just made them so smooth and I also find it makes them look much fuller and just healthier in general! 

Clinique Chubby stick Intense - Plushest punch £17.00

This was another Germany purchase that I didn't get much use out off and then I put it on a couple of weeks ago and feel completely in love with it. The formula of these is so comfortable to wear on the lips and it doesn't dry my lips out in any way. Staying power wise it lasts a good four hours with eating and drinking after this time it leaves a slight stain behind. 

Seventeen Doll'd up mascara £6.29

If you've been reading this blog for a while you will know my love affair for seventeen mascara's has been going on for about two years. I think they really are the cream of the crop when it comes to drugstore mascara's. They are so much more affordable than the likes of L'oreal and Maxfactor and the quality is incredible. This one hasn't let me down I love the arched shape of the wand. It leaves my lashes curled and volumised and has the lasting power of a waterproof mascara. I highly recommend you give this a go over your current mascara and see how it fares. 

Beauty ¦ The 2014 Favourites

So this is the very edited and toned down 2014 favourites, to begin with I had about 50 products but i've managed to edit it down to 23. I'd love for you to let me know what your 2014 favourites are in the comments below or even better leave me the links to your posts! I always say a little thank you with these posts and after looking back on the last years post I was so excited that i'd had over 22,000 pageviews. If i'd have told past self that I would have almost 70,000 views by the end of 2014 she'd have never believed me.

This isn't going to be in order of how I put things on my face it's just going to be in the order that the photos loaded!

So kicking it off with lipsticks, 2014 was the year I got into my really bright lipstick but also the year that I finally understood nudes enough to be able to buy them. Essence Longlasting lipstick in Oh so matt! was a purchase that I made towards the end of 2014 but fell head over heels in love with it very quickly. The formula of this lipstick is matte and the colour is the perfect nude for me on it's own but I enjoy it even more over a pinky nude lip liner. Topshop Rio Rio was a lipstick I wore a lot in the summer as it's the most beautiful orange toned red. The formula of this really reminds me of the Mac satin finish lipsticks as they aren't quite matte but they are in no way glossy. Speaking of Mac, Mac Up the amp is one of the brightest lipsticks I own and I just love wearing it in the summer with really minimal makeup it just adds that little bit of something that my makeup needs. The final lipstick is Barry M 151 which is a really pretty coral-y orange which again I got a lot of wear out of over the summer. The formula is quite glossy but not sticky and they feel so comfortable on the lips. I intend to pick up some more shades at some point. 

If you are a regular reader you will know how much I love both of these concealers, Maybelline Fit me is the lighter coverage one which I like to use under my eyes. I've heard a lot of people compare it to the Nars Creamy concealer which I haven't tried but I would like to. The other concealer is the Seventeen Stay time concealer which is the higher coverage of the two. I have always said that this is the lighter, more blendable and less cakey without compromising on coverage cousin of the Collection Lasting perfection concealer. I tend to use this one more on blemishes and redness however it works just as well under the eyes. 

Nail wise I have used Essie Aruba blue a lot. It's the most beautiful dark blue with silver shot through it and I've just worn it all year round as I love it so much. Models own Pink fizz is the most amazing glitter I've ever tried. It is opaque in one coat and it's the most beautiful shade of pink. The final polish was one I got a lot of wear out of in the spring, Barry M Gelly nail paint in Blueberry is a beautiful bright corn flour blue. I love the formula of these polishes and they last amazingly on the nails. 

I had absolutely no idea how to contour at the start of the year but when I received the Sleek Contour kit for my birthday I watched about a million how to contour videos and now I couldn't skip the step. I also love the highlighter from the kit and I tend to reach for it more in the summer as it's a beautiful peachy shade. The Accessorize Baked blush in Sensation is something that I would have never thought about buying myself but when I won it in a giveaway I was happy to find I loved it. It leaves a gorgeous sheeny pink shade on the cheeks and look so stunning on both pale and tanned skin. 

The Clarins Instant light natural lip perfector in 01 was another germany purchase. It was a spur of the moment thing and I'm so glad I ended up buying it. A non sticky slightly tinted gloss it is perfect for throwing on when I'm in a rush (Read that as late for school) and for chucking in my bag.  I got a couple of the Revlon colour burst matte balms for my birthday which were very bright shades which I loved so I decided to pick up a more neutral shade Elusive is a beautiful natural pinky shade which is perfect for at school as it's a very "my lips but better shade" (I hate that phrase but I don't know how else to describe it)

The L'oreal Brow artist plumper is the newest purchase in this post. I hadn't really given into the fibre brow gel hype but when I had to get a new mascara I had an extra space on my 3 for 2 so I decided to pick it up and I have ended up really loving it. Next up is a duty free purchase from when I went to germany. The Benefit instant brow pencil in deep is the perfect shade for my brows. It is creamy but not waxy or to soft.

My only primer love this year has been Benefit Porefessional I have massive pores and this is the only primer that I have used that reduces them. The texture is very silicone-y but I find that it doesn't block my pores. It also really improves the longevity of my makeup and stops my t zone becoming oily. Foundation wise I have a higher coverage and a lighter coverage L'oreal True match is perfect for the days when I have blemishes and redness. This one last amazingly and the colour is perfect for my skin tone. Bourjois Healthy mix serum is a lot lighter coverage and I tend to use it more when my skin is looking a bit dull as it is very glowy. The only problem I have with this is that it is very yellow in undertone and with having very pink undertones in my skin I sometimes end up looking a bit strange.

A base that i've used pretty much every time i've worn makeup in 2014 is Mac's Paint pot in Bare study This shade is a perfect base for pretty much every eye look and it really helps improve the longevity of my eyeshadow. If I need a really longlasting eyeshadow I pair this with the Urban decay primer potion and I find my shadow last all night and more. Another eye favourite has been this gorgeous little palette. Topshop's eye trio in Nebula is the perfect little palette for a smokey eye with a bit of a twist. I think however this may be being discontinued as when I went into my local topshop they had loads on sale so if you like the look of it I suggest you head to your nearest topshop! 

How could I not include the Urban Decay naked palette in this post. This has been something that I have used constantly at least a couple of times a week and in the summer I actually had to make myself use other shadows as this was all I was using. A beautiful mix of neutral shades it's almost like it was made for me.

Finally (If you've made it to this point you're a better man than I am) I have a fairly basic but completely necessary item. The L'oreal Nude magique BB powder is stunning. It sets makeup without leaving it looking cakey and leaves the skin feeling really smooth. I have trouble with powder caking up under and around my nose and under my eyes but this stays all day improving the longevity of my foundation by a good hour or two. It's something I think everyone should have in their makeup bags. 

October favourites

This month has been a month of trying new products and I've found some real gems in the mix. 

I'm gutted I only picked up on of the P2 Eyeshadow creams, I have the shade 050 which is a really pretty mix of pink and silver. I wasn't sure about the formula when I first tried it as it is very wet, but once i'd put it on my eyes I knew it was meant to be. When I popped it on it set down to an almost powder like formula and once it's on it's not going anywhere. I've worn this all day and I've not had any creasing. If you can get these in your country I highly recommend them. An old favourite making a reappearance is the Revlon nail lacquer in Vixen a mixture of brown and red. It's the most beautiful autumn shade and I've been wearing it a lot recently. I love the formula of revlon polishes, they go on so smoothly, dry quickly and the brushes are nice and slim. 

The Maxfactor Facefinity primer is something that I've seen lots of very good reviews for. It's really lightweight but at the same time feels very hydrating on the skin. I've found that it makes my foundation go on much smoother and makes it lasts a little longer. Benefit have answered all my brow related problems with the Instant brow pencil in deep it's the perfect shade for me as it's nice and dark but not to red toned which I find all dark brown eyebrow pencils tend to be. The formula is very soft and it glides onto the brows and lasts all day. 

I tend to fall in and out of love with blush but at the moment I love it, I've been wearing Mac Fleur power at least four times a week since I bought it and I absolutely adore it. The pigmentation is amazing and the satin finish on the cheeks is stunning, it leaves the face with a beautiful glow without to much sparkle. My final favourite this month is the Clarins Instant light natural lip perfector.  I can't believe it took me so long to jump on the bandwagon with these. I'm one of those people who can't stand lipgloss but this product is just a completely different ball game. Non sticky and lightweight feeling on the lips, what more would you want in a gloss! 

September beauty favourites!

So it's October, ummmmm What? Today it's favourites time. Septembers been a strange month as months go. The weather has been so topsy turvy it's crazy and I've been super busy. I've not actually worn lots of makeup this month as I've gone back to school. 

Catrice Powder blusher - Apropos apricot 

This catrice blush has to be one of my favourites of all time. It's a beautiful peach with lots of gold shimmer which catches the light beautifully. The powder is very soft and finely milled and sweeps over the skin beautifully. 

OCC Lip tar - NSFW 

Recently this has been the only red lip I've worn. This stuff lasts forever, a tiny weeny blob covers my whole lips with a beautiful opaque deep red which lasts all day with eating and drinking. I have to wear a lip liner as it does have the tendency to bleed but otherwise it's so fuss free. 

Seventeen Skin wow highlighter

I love the versatility of this product but I've been using it most as a highlighter. It's so similar to benefit high beam, I would say the only two differences are this isn't quite as obvious  and it's a little bit more liquidy. I also really like mixing it into my foundation for a little added glow. 

Makeup revolution Powder eyeshadow -  Good life 

This is such an unusual colour, it's a mix of silver, lilac and baby pink and is the perfect sweep over the lid and go colour. These last a pretty decent amount of time and the formula is incredible for £1.00 

Essie Nail polish - Aruba blue 

This polish reminds me of the sea I adore it. I love the formula of essie polishes. They just paint really lovely and last for a good 3 days which on me is pretty much unheard off. This is a gorgeous deep blue with lots of silver shimmer. Not to season appropriate but still beautiful.
