Sally Hansen Sugar Coat Nail Polish

A quick post today,I found this is poundland for just a pound (obviously) after seeing it come up on  Hot UK Deals a couple of times. I had been wanting to try the Barry M textured polishes for quite a while, specifically the colour Ridley Road, the minty blue green but they were £3.99 and I wasn't really sure If I'd like it so I didn't take the plunge. But when I saw these in poundland I knew I had to try. They had the pale yellow that I brought, white and black but since I don't have any yellow polishes I thought I'd give this a go.

The only problem I have found with this is it does chip quite easily. Granted I was washing up but this was literally 24 hours after I'd put it on. I'm still not entirely whether I like it though anyway so I'm glad I only spent a pound on it. I like the colour of it and I think the texture is interesting but I'm not quite sure they go together. Perhaps I should have opted for the white?

And to any of you who noticed that I used a Divergent advert as the background, top marks to you,I was actually on my way to see the movie when I brought this!

Mini Makeup Haul and Review

All the cosmetics were on 3 for 2 at boots before Christmas, so I took the opportunity to stock up! :D

From left to right I brought Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder, Barry M Matte nail Varnish in crush, Rimmel London apocalips in Stellar and Maybelline the Falsies mascara.

Now for some mini little reviews...

This is how the matte nail varnish looks, personally I was a little disappointed as it didn't really seem all that matte to me. I prefer to wear it with a layer of clear nail varnish over it to make it normal and glossy because the colour is still absolutely gorgeous and the perfect wintery shade!

This is the first bronzer I have ever used and  to be honest I was a bit scared that it would make me look totally orange because I'm so pale thats why I picked up the lighter shade, though you can't really see much difference between  the two. I proceeded with caution and indeed ended up loving it! Its perfect to add a golden glow to my face especially during the winter and just generally stop me from looking so pale all the time.

This mascara has to be one of the best mascaras I have ever used. Before using this my favourite was probably l'oreal telescopic but after using this for a couple of weeks I believe I may have found my new favourite. It lengthens my eyelashes brilliantly and genuinely does make it look like I'm wearing false lashes if I curl my lashes and put on 2-3 coats.

This lip lacquer is absolutely brilliant! Its basically like a really pigmented lip gloss which stains your lips so even after the lipgloss wears off you are still left with a colour on your lips, thats not to say that the lip gloss isnt long lasting though. As a result I really do like it. It's also very  pigmented and they offer a great range of colours which made it rather hard to pick, I also really wanted Big Bang (The dark red) and phenomenon (The shimmerless nude). Although it looks quite orangey in this photo its more of a red-ish colour with a hint of pink I'd say.

I have also now brought Eclipse (plum colour) and Nude Eclipse (Nude Colour) because they are so brilliant! I'll post about them later too!

So what are your opinions on these products?

Rose Print Nails DIY

As I mentioned in my earlier Ombre Nails post I painted my nails LOADS over the summer and this was one of my many designs. They didn't go too well but  I was quite happy with them. 

I used Essie Crewed Interest, Essie Butler Please, Barry M Gelly Blueberry and Barry M Gelly Greenberry in this design...

I used a combination of the two tutorials below-

Avengers Nails

I am a total marvel geek, I just love the movies! And what's better than having tiny little superheros on your nails? I used a cheap set of nail art pens that I got on ebay from China a while back so they really aren't great quality but they get the job done. Just about. Anyway this is how they turned out, I'm quite happy with the result considering how bad I usually am at painting my nails...

I just started off with a base coat-

Then I added some more details

And there they are finished-

This was the photo I was using as inspiration, mine weren't half as good though :(
