Bloggers do it better Topic 1 - Sinful colours this spring.



If you read my little haul post on Sunday you will know I picked up these polishes and I just had to share them with you as they are just perfect for spring. 

I picked up three shades.The first one I picked up was Island coral, which is a gorgeous pastel coral colour with a creme finish. Then I picked up Pink forever, which is a pastel bright purple-y pink. Finally I picked up Cinderella which is probably my favourite of the three. It is the prettiest baby blue colour with tiny weeny shimmers. 


Cinderella on the nails, the camera doesn't do it any justice! 

I hope you enjoyed this post,

A little makeup haul.








Nyc Individual eyes palettes in Smokey blues and Midtown mauve. £3.99 each (Buy one get one half price) 

 I saw someone mention one of these palettes in a video and when I popped into Superdrug and swatched some of the shadows I decided to pick two up. They are really nice shadows and I can't wait to use them properly. 

Beauty UK Baked blush in Shade 3 Halo £3.99

This is such a pretty pinky highlighter shade and I've been eyeing it up for a couple of months and I decided it was time I got round to trying it. First impressions are good, it's a very pretty shade and the shimmer is really finely milled so it shouldn't be to OTT. 

Collection Shimmer shades in 2 Blushalicious. £3.99

I don't really know why I bought this, it was definitely one of those oooh that's pretty then *grabs and runs for the tills* I have tried this once and I really like it. It isn't overly shimmery or pigmented so it leaves you with a lovely healthy glow. 

Sinful colours Nail polishes in Cinderella, Island coral and Pink forever. £1.99 each. (3 for £4) 

I really like the sinful colours polish I already own so I decided to pick up a few more to try. I've currently got Cinderella on my nails (The light blue) and it is really beautiful. 

P.S. Love lipstick £1.00

Everyone seems to be talking about this range at the moment so I had to pick up something from it. The one thing I dislike about this is that it doesn't have a name. Which is fine if you don't talk to anyone about makeup, but being a blogger it make's my life very difficult. 


I hope you enjoyed this little haul.

Top 10 under a tenner.



I love drugstore makeup, so today I thought I'd show you my Top 10 products under the £10.00 mark. I hope you enjoy this post. 

Face...



 Maxfactor CC cream £9.99 //Here//

This is really lovely, it's not super heavy and high coverage but it covers redness really well and I only need to use a little concealer along with it. Another good thing about it is it goes really pale. Overall this one is really nice on good skin days and really improves the look of skin without masking it. 

Maybelline Fit me Concealer £5.99 //Here//

This is a really lovely concealer, it's really moisturizing whilst still having a really lovely amount of coverage. I really like using this on my under eyes although it works just as well on blemishes and hyper pigmentation. 

Topshop Cream blush - Flush £7.00 //Here//

The colour of this is just perfect on my skin and I love the cream to powder formula. These blend beautifully and last for hours and hours. 


Eyes...


Avon Supershock eyeliner £6.00 //Here//

This eyeliner is so soft and creamy. I like to use it on my waterline but it also works really nicely on the upper lash line smudged out into a smoky eye. It also doesn't budge when it's set. 

2 True Eyeshadow duo £1.99 //Here//

I wrote a post raving about these as they are just so amazing for the price. Pigmented, blendable and affordable. What more could you ask for? 

Maybelline Colour tattoo £4.99 //Here//

If you're a regular reader over here you will know about my long running love affair with these. I love them as they last for so long. I just wish they did some more shades. 


Lips...



Revlon Colourburst matte balms £7.99 //Here//

These are fabulous, the colours are so gorgeous and they last so long on the lips. I also really like the minty smell/taste. These three are in the colours Unapologetic, Showy and Elusive. 

Maxfactor Colour elixir Giant pen stick Vibrant pink £6.99 //Here//

This is really lovely, the colour is so intense and the lasting power is really good. The only thing I don't like about this is the fact that you have to sharpen it. 

Nails...



Models own polishes £5.00 //Here//

I have a new found love for models own nail polishes, they really are fantastic. I love the glitters especially pink fizz. 

Essie Nail polishes £7.99 //Here//

Another brand I adore are Essie there polishes go on so well and last for such a long time. They also have the most gorgeous selection of colours. 

So guy's I really hope you enjoyed this post.
