Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Colour in Iconic Indigo, Electric Emerald, Red-y Response & Silver Elements

April 20, 2014

Today I want to share with you another amazing Poundland find! Sally Hansen is a brand I absolutely love, and I must have at least thirty different polishes from various lines but I’ve never paid more than £1 for a single one of them! At any time you can find a variety of Sally Hansen polishes in most Poundland stores, and this week I picked up these magnetic nail colours that are so much fun! I missed out on…

Dermalogica UltraCalming Review

April 18, 2014

You may recall many post ago Gem and I gave in to the Glamour Beauty Edit 3, one of the main perks of this being the miniature dermalogica UltraCalming starter kit. Well it may have taken a little while but I’ve finally cracked this open and put it to good use! The UltraCalming range is supposed to be well suited to those that suffer from flare ups or inflammation due to sensitivity of their skin – which sounds absolutely…

W7 Honolulu Bronzing Face Powder Review

April 18, 2014

Benefit style box powders at a fraction of the price? Yes please! Despite the fact I’ve been raving about Benefit’s Dallas (reviewed here) for a while, I couldn’t resist this cheeky little treat when I saw it. As a pale-faced lady I’ve really struggled with the idea of bronzer for a long time, I instantly associate it with orange trendy types and dismissed it as a part of my routine until very recently when I discovered the…

Avon Pur Blanca EDT Perfume Set Review

April 17, 2014

When it comes to perfume I’m usually drawn to the more outspoken and sweet fragrances, and especially those with bright and beautiful bottles. Pur Blanca goes against everything I would normally choose; it’s clean light and simple and the bottle is very plain. Still somehow I’ve come to be quite fond of Pur Blanca and have made a sizeable dent in it already! I’d agree with the official description of “A delicate blend of pure white freesia and ylang…

Glossybox April 2014

April 15, 2014

Gem actually received her Glossybox yesterday, but mine ended up at the post office instead since I’d spent the morning at the gym and there was no one to open the door to the postman. On collecting it today though, I’m pretty pleased with the contents – even if I did sneak a peek at Gem’s yesterday. Whats in the box? Emite Make Up – Lip Brush – L312 (£17) I’ve been thinking of buying a high end lip brush…

Tip Tuesday – Avoiding Mascara on Your Eyelid During Application

April 15, 2014

Do you ever apply your mascara, and as as you look upwards for that final sweep of your bottom lash thinking you have completed your look, you peek in the mirror to see you have in fact managed to cover your upper eyelid in mascara since your top lashes weren’t quite dry? Well to keep today’s Tip short and sweet, apply mascara to your bottom lash first! Honestly, I’ve been applying my mascara this way for years, such a simple…

A haul full of bargains!

April 15, 2014

I’m always one for a bargain but I think I got some real steals in this haul! As always this wasn’t planned…I was just going to look! Then suddenly I remembered I had a boots gift voucher and it all got a bit..out of hand. No regrets though as I already love everything I picked up! My story starts in Superdrug as I decided this would be the day I finally fulfilled my long desire for Sleek’s Rose Gold…

Most Wanted

April Most Wanted

April 14, 2014

1. Urban Decay Electric Palette – [Link] I love my Naked palette but I’m a brights girl at heart, I’ve seen nothing but rave reviews for this and so it’s now on my OMGINEEDTHISINMYLIFE list. I think UD palettes are well worth the investment, and though I was considering another Naked I think I’ll be far more likely to pick this up instead! 2. Katy Perry Oh So Sheer – [Link] Katy Perry Killer Queen is still my favourite fragrance,…
