Sparkly nail vanish! :)

So I thought I would share with you all this amazing glittery nail vanish that I found in Accessorize!

I don't normally buy/look at nail vanishes in Accessorize, but after watching Louise (Sprinkleofglitter) on youtube talking about the new 3D nail vanishes I had to go and investigate myself :)
I didn't actually buy the new '3D' nail vanish but I did find this colour that I really like to try out first!




I really like the fact that after having only one coat of this polish on, my nail was already full of glitter! It dries really quick and you would only need 2 coats (3 tops) to completely cover your nail in glitter!

A few days after, I was in town so I thought I'll give Accessorize a quick visit and brought myself the 3D Glitter Polish in Magic :). It's a really nice purple and I can't wait to try it on!






I have also been browsing on the internet for the new Revlon Lip Butter that everyone is raving about on Youtube. As it's still not out in the UK until March, I went on Ebay and brought one! :)


I brought the colour 'Berry Smoothie' and it looks really nice for everyday. I love that it's like a lipstick but it doesn't dry out your lips at all! Can't wait until it's out in the UK so I can try out more colours :)

February Glossybox

So I have received my February Glossybox a few days ago and I was again as excited to open it as the first one that I received last month!




This is what I've got in my box:

Duwop Venom Gloss

I really like this lip gloss as it gives a tingling feeling on your lips and making them feel 'plump'. It also has a sweet scent and gives your lips a nice gloss. It is quite pricey if you buy it in full size (£16) so I'm not sure if I will pay that much to buy it.

Dr. Bronner Lavender Hand Sanitiser

This liquid form hand sanitizer is different from the hand gel that I use, the size of the product is the full size that you can buy (£3.99) and it is very handy to keep in your bag. I love the smell of lavender so I really like this as sometimes the alcohol smell in hand gels as not so nice! The only thing I'll say is that the smell of lavender is quite strong so if you're not a fan of this scent you might not like it.

Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Relaxing Balm

This product is said to smooth wavy, curly or unruly hair and control fizz. I've tried this out once and it does smooth out my ends pretty well but I may have put too much on as I've noticed some of my hairs looks like its still damp. I will try it again and use less of it! lol! 

BM Beauty Pure Mineral Eyeshadow 

This product is an award winning pure mineral eyeshadow. Cruelty free and suitable for vegetarians and vegans. I really like this sparkly purple eyeshadows but I'm not a big fan of sparkly eyeshadows on me, I don't think it looks that flattering on me. I will give it a try though and see if it changes my option!

Como Shambhala Invigorate Shower Gel

This shower gel smells really zingy and smells like it will really wake you up having a shower first thing in the morning. I've tried this the other day and I have to say I'm not a fan. It makes my skin feel a bit dry and as I have dry skin, I don't think it helps. I do feel like it's a good product if you have normal skin type as it does give you a "awake" feeling but I'm afraid it's not for me.

I like a few products that I've got in this month's Glossybox but I am a bit disappointed that I don't love all the products but I will look forward to what I get for next month! :)

January Glossybox!

I know I'm probably a bit late on this but....I've just got my first Glossybox! :)
As I've been seeing so many reviews and what not on Youtube, I thought why not just subscribe.....so I did!

When I saw that my Glossybox has arrived when I got home from work, I was very excited to see what goodies I got inside! My first impression is......wow I love the colour of the box!








This is what I received and thought of the products that I've received:

F.A.B Gentle Body Wash



I tried this out straight away and it felt really nice on my skin and it's very moisturizing. My skin does get quite dry (especially with this Arctic weather that we've been getting!) so I think this is perfect for me.

Davines Moisturizing Balm



I also tried this out straight away on my hair and after drying it, I noticed the ends of my hair where I have put the product is very glossy and looks really healthy. It also feels really soft. Loving this product already! It also says that you can also apply it on your face and body, I'll try that out in the next few days to see what it's like :)

Eyeko



When I first saw the colour of this eyeliner, I wasn't really excited about it as it's green. I never tried green eyeliner before and not sure if it look nice on me, but when I tried it, it didn't look too bad! Maybe I'll try it out one night when I'm going out.

Davines Cleansing Nectar



This product looks quite watery and not sure what I think about it, I will try it out never the less and see if I like it!

Murad Hybrids Skin Perfecting Primer - Dewy Finish



I was pleased I got this in my Glossybox as I always want to try a face primer but never know which one to buy and don't want to spend loads on one for me to not like it! After trying it out, I thought it looked really nice when I first put it on but throughout the day I thought it made my face a bit too greasy looking....maybe it's because of my skin type, I'm not sure, but I will give it another go.


At the bottom of the box, I found a really cute rock sweet with glossybox on it :)

Overall, I really liked my first Glossybox, can't wait for my next one!! :)

Monday 6 February 2012



Snowy weekend has been awesome.......built Bob the snowman and been throwing snowballs at my Dad and sister....but now that it's Monday can all the snow go away now.....it's no fun when you have to go to work the next day and have to de-frost the car in the morning, slipping about on the icy carpark trying not to get run over...lol! 

4 more days to go until the weekend....then snow you can fall away :)


As it's so cold outside I thought I'll treat myself to a chocolate Caramel Bunny :) nom nom....

B.R.I.G.H.T.O.N

How beautiful does this look! I recently went to Brighton for a mini break with my sister as I always wanted to go to have a wander. W...
