The leather effect

I have never really been interested in nail polish, It didn't seem to suit me and usually chipped after being on a day. However, I have been really interested to try Nails Inc new leather effect polish, which like the name suggests, makes your nails look like leather.




The set is available at Selfridges for £19 and includes polish and skulls to bling up your nails.
As I'm not that into polish £19 seemed a bit steep for me, so I decided to test out a polish I had spotted while browsing the Rimmel stand.
Let me introduce you to my cheaper alternative, Rimmel stay matte top coat. I applied one layer of Essie 'over the edge' let it dry and then applied the Rimmel top coat over it.




The results are very similar to that of the Nails Inc leather polish, but a lot cheaper. I'm looking forward to trying this out with some of my other polishes.

Blogmas day 23

It's been a crazy week, very busy in work and trying to get everything sorted for Christmas. My family have been in USA for a week now and I'm really starting to miss them. Looking forward to their return on NYE.

All my shopping is done and the wrapping is completed. It's nice to be free to enjoy Christmas Eve without worrying about shopping.

I'm looking forward to spending tomorrow with family and watching Christmas DVDs by the fire. Christmas Day involves lots of eating and fun with family and friends.

Have a wonderful Christmas

Nars Haul

Blogmas Day 18

I recently ran out of foundation and decided to try out some new Nars products. Sheer glow has always been my favourite, and one that I always go back to, so when I was repurchasing it I also snapped up their new tinted moisturiser. Since I was already being naughty I added new lover velvet lip pencil in too!

Anyone who owns sheer glow will agree that one of the main problems with it is that it doesn't come with a pump. Meaning you pour out too much foundation. I decided that I would purchase the pump as it was only £3 and meant I wouldn't loose as much product in the long run.

New lover lip pencil is very similar in colour to orgasm blush. It's very moisturising and gives a good amount of colour in one swipe.

I have only used the tinted moisturiser once, my first oughts are that it feels quite sticky in the skin. I waited maybe 5 minutes before setting the TM and still my face felt tacky. I'm going to try it with a primer tomorrow to see if that makes any difference.
















Have to say that space nk give the best samples ever. By terry rose de baume, eve lom cleanser and living proof face mask.

L'oreal #297 - ultimate red lip

Blogmas Day 17

Today I thought I would share with you my new favourite lip colour. if you read my blog you will notice I never wear dark lip colours. I tend to stay away from them out of fear I will look ridiculous, and draw too much attention to myself. I decided to try out L'oreal #297 As I had seen it on Cheryl Cole and thought it looked striking on her, and if I was going to try a red lip I may as well try the most vibrant!

I think the shade suits me, It lasted 3 hours on the lips without fading, which I thought was really good. I'm looking forward to wearing this lip colour to some Christmas parties I have coming up.

FOTD

Blogmas day 16!

Today is fake Christmas for me as my family leave for USA tomorrow.

I was feeling rather festive and decided to go for a red lip.
