Maybelline Color Show in Chalk Dust


Hey guys! This nail polish has been one of my go to's for a while now, it adds so much interest to your nails in just one coat. Because the sizes of the confetti are different, the polish looks really layered and interesting. I think when Christmas comes around it'll be great as everyone needs sparkly nails at Christmas! It can be a bit of  a job to remove, but i recommend using this technique for a speedy and easy removal.


The packaging is nice, secure and simple. It does the job and that's all you need really! The only thing I would say is even though it's black and white, it doesn't actually go with everything so have a look at the colour polish you want to wear it with (as it will show underneath) just to make sure. I think this colour would look nice over clear nails though, and also layered so the confetti is all that shows. It also looks stunning over ombre and other nail art. Another great thing about this polish is that it comes in other colours too. You can collect them all, mix and match or choose your favourite!

Elegant Touch Nail Polish Remover

Yo! 
This is the nail polish remover I have been using at the moment, and I like it very much. It works really quickly, which is my main thing I look for, and it's less harsh on nails, which is of course super important. It's really good value too, I've found varied prices, but you can get it as cheap as £2! I bought mine in Boots or Superdrug, I'm afraid I can't remember which!


Another thing I like about it is that as it is a dual base formula, there are two layers to the product. Before use you shake it, this brings both parts together. Before you shake it it looks like so...


And once it's shaken it looks like this! Cool huh?

Hawaiian Tropic After Sun

Hey! Today I have a review on an amazing product that has got to be one of the best products I have tried, ever. Ever, ever, ever evereverver. It's Hawaiian Tropic's after sun lotion and holy moly I lurves it.Of course sun cream is the obvious summer essential but sun creams aside, this would be my number one summer recommendation. 

This product makes my skin feel so soft and luxurious. After using it for a while, you will definitely notice the difference! Your skin just feels so much softer! Hydrating your skin is so important after being in the sun as it can do a lot of damage. This will make your skin feel tip top right away! 


I bought this for half price in Boots (mwahaha) but the full price in Boots is £9.99 which is not cheap, of course you can buy ones cheaper but I really do think it's worth the price and there are a lot more expensive ones out there. If that does seem a little pricy online often sells things cheaper and I found one that sells it for only £5.99! I'll leave that as the link at the end. 


 I know that using body lotions and butters can be a bit of a hassle to some people and no one likes waiting for their skin to dry but this absorbs super fast so there's no waiting around. I'd say it takes 30 seconds to a minute, tops. It has a very pleasant smell too. A lot of fruit smells are overpoweringly sweet, berry smells but this is a much softer tropical fruit smell that doesn't really smell like any one fruit in particular, but it sure does smell good! It has a hint of that sun cream smell which I personally love but if you're not sure, give it a whiff before you buy it. You can always go to Boots and then buy it online! Naughty but necessary. Haha!

Weekly Inspiration


Hello everyone! Today I was cruising my Bloglovin' feed when I found a blog called Stolen Inspiration. It is a beautiful blog that I definitely recommend you check out! Just click here. It gave me the idea to use pictures I find that inspire me and share them with you! I though I'd try and make this a weekly thing (wish me luck) as it wouldn't involve me taking and uploading any photos so it will be a lot easier to do regularly. Anyway here's a pic I pinched from Stolen Insperation's blog that I thought was just beautiful. 


I hope you love it as much as I do and look forward to more of these in the future! Don't forget to check out Stolen Insperation's blog it really is lovely!

See you in my next post xoxo

Roomspiration - DIY Magazine Collage Wall


Hey guys! Today I have some roomspiration for you. This blog has been mostly beauty so far but never fear more fashion and lifestyle is all on the way. Now for this DIY!

This is a super easy way to add some personality to your room and get it all jazzed up! Really hope you enjoyed this super simple decoration idea, please let me know in the comments if any of you try it out! 

For this DIY all you need is a magazine, I used my favourite magazine, Company. Of course you can use all sorts of things for example tickets, stickers, posters, photos etc etc all that good stuff. 






I just tore out pages I liked and used blu tack to stick them up onto the wall above my mirror. Using blu tack is a much better idea than using glue or sellotape as when you want to remove anything glue and cellotape can leave marks or damage the paint. Blu tack is really easy to remove and if any little bits stay just use a blob of blu tack and stick it to them, when you pull it away it should take the little bits with it.


If you want it to look kind of scrap-booky then my tip is to layer the pictures (or whatever it is you're using) over one another. This gives a more messy, free look than if everything is stuck next to each other.

Garnier Eye Make-up Remover


I don't no if I've mentioned it before, but I get my eyelashes tinted. This means that I have to make sure I use make up and make up removers that don't work a little too well and rub off the dye so I don't use this one every day, as it's one that does work too well! I use it on days where I've done something extra to my eyes and also when I'm doing winged liner. I use a cotton bud and wipe where I want to remove a line I did wrong or any mistake and it works perfectly. It claims to remove even waterproof makeup, and I feel certain it could. I can promise it doesn't feel harsh on my skin or sting or irritate at all and I have pretty sensitive skin. Just so you know, it smells absolutely amazing too.

Gold by Giles Lipstick


 This lipstick is my all time favourite lipstick! The formula is so smooth but it also lasts. I find that when I put this on it has a creamy feel but after some time it kind of becomes one with your lips and tints them so it doesn't wear, does that make any sense?! As it is such a natural shade it doesn't really notice when it does rub off a bit which is great. The packaging is really lovely. It has an indication of the colour on the top and is all black and gold. At the moment I love anything black with gold hard wear, it's just a perfect combo.  It's also my perfect colour, I won't say no to a pillar box red or a soft coral but I always find dusky pink-reds are my most worn. 


This collection of lipsticks are sold in New Look for only £2.99 which is a complete bargain. Even better, this colour is only £1! STEAL! I bought this for £1 not really expecting much and was amazed. I didn't think it would still be reduced but apparently so, even more reason to nab one if you ask me! 

                                                                         
    This colour would compliment a bold eye very well as it's very gorgeous but natural. I also think it looks really nice with a fair skin tone like mine.
    

The colour is a bit darker than this photo shows, but it is still a very wearable shade.
