NOTD

Hey Girls.

So I recently rocked this look on my nails and i thought it was super cute but im a fan of polka dots so here it is....

Firstly These were a wee present and they are Nail Wraps from Primark and they were only like a few quid so not the end of the world...
Basically it's like stickers for your nails and you just find the size that fits and then stick it on and trim the end off, and it can sometimes be used again.
Really easy and quick way to do your nails!

 

This is how they come.... They were red with little white polka dots on them, really cute

 

  

This is the stickers that you put against your nail to find the right size 

 

once they are on you just cut the excess off and file it down, easy peasy and the results are cute and not messy!

Cheap & Cheerful.

Anyway here's a wee quick swatch of my OOTD, for today which i'm off for Lunch with my cousin and my aunty and her two kids and my mum, so since it's still quite cold outide all be it sunny as well i thought i'd go for smart casual and ended up looking sort of preppy/chic.

Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder Review

Hey Girlies!

So I decidd that i would review an absolute favourite of mines and well i guess you would call it my old faithful when it comes to pressed powder.
So Rimmel stay matte powder has been around for years, and i can honestly say i've been using it for years as i've never found an alternative.

Being pale, or at least paler than the average girl, make-up colour match has always been one of those annoyingly hard things to get right.  And to be quite frank i only really got properly into make-up a few years ago.  But Rimmel is one of those brands that is well known, well recognised and has been around for a good while now and its definitely stood the test of time as it's still going strong.

So about the powder.  Rimmel make it and they have a few shades 4/5 i think, so i went for the lightest shade which is 001 - transparent.  This shade is actually quite hard to come by as for one, there is never many of them available on the shelf and when there is they seem to sell out really fast, so i usually stock up when they are on offer. Biggers Boots stores have them, but i found that other places have started to bring into their stores now too and not always places you would think. I have seen the transparent one more in Asda and also Wilkinson's stores for the same price, so i know that these little places will have it so if Boots don't i know i can nip there and get them, a little secret i'll share with you guys, always look in the unexpected places!

So that is the powder, now don't get me wrong, it's not the most sophisticated  looking powder but in the end it does what it says on the lid.  The packaging is just plastic, very plain and very simple, but don't get me wrong, the lid isn't the most secure of lids becuase it can come off uite easily, especially when it's in your bag!! so a little note, if you plan on carrying it about in your bag and are like me and carry everything but the kitchen sink in your bag, put it in the zipped compartment or put it in your little make-up bag because it can also break-up if the lid comes off.  So yes the packaging could be improved for the safety aspect, but you get what you pay for in this sense and the price is amazing. it's only £3.99 which is an absolute bargain, and even better is that it actually works!! LOVE IT!!

Now i'm one of those people who is easily swayed with new products, if they say they will work wonders then i'm pretty inclined to buy it because i have pretty awful skin even at 25 my skin is still bloody terrible, its like really? Also i have tried soooooo many powders, high end and low end and the cheapest of the cheap and i can honestly say i've found nothing to match this wee beauty.  I also like the fact it's compressed, because i just cannot get to grips with loose powder and i find that even though i have little dry patches on my face this powder doesn't accentuate them as much as the loose powder would, so again that is such a bonus.
The powder itself is a really good colour match and it definitely works. it says its reduces shine and it does, it says it works for 5 hours, but i can say even after about 8 hours, my make-up was still in place! so yey! it also has good coverage and is definitely build a able in the sense you can put on as much as you like, but i find less is more when it comes to it as i don't want to look "powdery".  It's also good if you have oily skin as it can help to combat that!.

The powder comes in a 14g tub and is £3.99 Bargain!

I just apply the powder with a basic powder brush as i literally just sweep it over my face as i don't put loads on. 

So thats my beest beauty buy. It has been a staple part of my make-up bag for a while now and will continue be in the future!
what's your favourite powder?

What's in my Bathroom!?

Hey Girlies,

So i have seen lots of people posting about what's in their bathroom/shower's etc, so i thought i'd get in on the act too and show what is in mines too!

So here's a wee look at what i currently have in my bathroom.

 

The contents of my bathroom change quite regularly but here is what i currently have clogging up my bathroom cupboards!

• Boots Pink exfoliating gloves - really rough and great for giving your skin the once over and leaves it feeling great and totally clean.
• Neutrogena Pink grapefruit, daily face wash - been using this for a good while now and i find it works for me so i've stuck with it, plus it smells loooooovely. + wee facial sponge to exfoliate.
• Gok's Bubble essence - this is just been opened as i used the last of my lush bubble bar.  It smells alright but nothing major, so once its used i wouldn't re-purchase.
• Gok's warming hand and foot scrub, again this is just new as i run out of my Soap & Glory scrub.  This is actually really good, as soon as you put it on your skin its proper makes it warm, shall review this soon!
• superdrug's own brand shampoo/conditioner - for normal/fine hair, cherry & pink grapefruit, i picked this up as i found Aussie wasn't working for me any longer and this was on offer and to be honest it's been lovely for £1.50 and it smells just lovely.
• Aussie 3 minute miracle treatment - this is one of Aussie's wonder products and i still use it once every two weeks to just totally cleanse my hair & i still love this product.
• Ted Baker body scrub - this is just new as again i had run out of my Soap & Glory body scrub, this one is actually really nice and less harsh than s&g and it smells lovely.
• Boots deep cleansing Mudd mask - i got this mudd pack as buying the single packs is costly so i just got the pack for £5 and ive used it about 7 times already and there is still a good lot left! :)
• Soap & Glory clean on me - i love love LOVE! this body wash, ive been on this same bottle for about 4 months and it lasts forever plus it smells devine.
• Champneys bubble bath - love it smells gorgeous and leaves you skin silky smooth. just Gorgeous.

• Herbal Essences - split end remedy mask - had this ages keeps my split ends at bay plus keeps my hair tug free!

So that is currently what i have in my Bathroom but like i said the body wash shampoo/conditioner and bubble bath changes pretty regularly.
