Beauty Haul. May Edition






Hey Guys,


This is the second half of my beauty haul.  

I'm going to start with the four purple lipsticks, I seem to have accumulated. I have recently bought my first Models Own Colour Lip-Stix, in the purple shade, there is no name on it, so I will have to insert it later. This cost just £5. Another one I got is the MUA in Lilac Belle, which obviously cost £1 and is Matte. I have also bought the Little Mix for Collection in Perrie which is around £3. Away on the other side of the scale is the Revlon Matte Balm in Desinvolte which was around £7.99

The Pink lipsticks I have picked up are Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet in shade 5 Ole Flamingo, cost £9, Collection Sweet Tart, £2.99 this is a fairly bright pink, which will be great for everyday wear. Collection Cream Puff in the shade cotton candy, a nice matte lip cream. I have also finnaly got my hands on a Kate Moss lipstick in the shade 110, which is a bright pinky coral shade, which cost around £4 on a boots deal. 

The last few lipsticks I have recently bought are a sheer orange lipstick by Revlon which cost £7.99 and is in the shade carnival spirit. I also grabbed a few others of the Little Mix for Collection Lipsticks in the shades Jade which is a gorgeous muted nude colour and Jesy which is a vibrant red colour. 

Finally something that isn't lips related, I have gotten some of the new Kate Moss eye collection, In fact I got the emerald Green Gel eyeliner ( which is stunning on), a couple of the eye crayons, in rose gold and Electric Sapphire. Lastly from her collection I got the Rocking Curves Mascara, but just in the very black colour. 






Finally the last few things are my holy grail concealer the Collection lasting perfections concealer in 1 fair, Rimmel Stay Matte powder in Pink Blossom and the Maybelline Go Colossal Extreme Volum' mascara. 

Phew that is a massive haul. I do plan on doing some reviews on the products, hopefully some time will be freed up and I can start blogging properly again.

Beauty Haul: Nails Edition

Hey Guys, 

This is a long time coming, I have been doing a lot of shopping recently and have accumulated a fair amount of stuff, that I want to show you all. I did think about doing a video on youtube, but chickened out. 

I'm going to begin with my first little splurge on nail products. Then the rest should be in another post as I seem to have gotten a large amount of nail things. 

First of all from my work. 
I kind of got a stash of the Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish strips. I have six of them in total as, I tried a set out and fell in love with them. So I pretty much got one of each kind that my work had. 
I got 2 of the french Mani ones in Polka Party 006 and Silver Lining 002. Both of which are like normal french manicure but with a twist in the tips which are a bit different from the norm. Which I love. 
I also got Animal Instinct 440(Pink zebra), Tweed-Le-Dee 550 (grey tartan), I Love Lacey 480 (red based with a lace over lay.) and Check Please 235 ( Black and White check). These cost be a mere £1 in Bargain Buys. 

Another thing I got at Bargain Buys and another Sally Hansen product, that I seem to have just went gaga over. I bought 3 in one day without even trying them out. The Sally Hansen complete manicure Glitters. I think these were from the Christmas range as these have some very Christmas feeling names. I have 20 Fa-La-La-Lavender, 30 3,2, 1derland and 40 Midnight Glitz. These are all a clear base with loads of sparkle. 

The last few things from my work is a nail rock glitter thing, that has a polish and a glitter to push into it. Lastly is a NYC glitter top coat in Gramercy Glitz. These also cost £1. 

A random purchase from Boots is the Models Own Matte Topcoat, that cost £5. Another polish I bought from Boots is the Rimmel Salon Pro Kate collection polish in Punk Rock 711. 

From Claire's Accessory I bought a few polishes. These all vary in price, but I got mine from the Claire's discount outlet in Livingston. I got Frost bite, a blue and white glitter strand top coat. School day, a black and white small glitter top coat, Shiver a light blue, white and silver nearly iridescent top coat. I also got Hundreds and Thousands, coral splatter effect and a white neon 
green. These all range from £2.50-£3.50.


Lastly and just the other day, I was browsing in Next, when I came across their own brand nail polish and fell in love instantly. I got 3 glitters, as I seem to be becoming a major magpie. I got one of the " Bling Top Coat" in Golden ticket, which is a clear top coat and has flecks of different coloured gold, from rose gold and yellow golden. I also got a "Holographic Glitter" in Night Fever and a " Matte Glitter" in Pixelated Purple. These cost £3 each and look absolute gorgeous. I can not wait to test these out. 


I will do proper reviews on these in the near future. 

What polishes have you bought recently and any that I should try? 

Until next time

Models Own Speckled Eggs Nail Polish Review












Hey Guys,

Another little review on the old nail polish. I wasn't kidding when I said that I had replenished my whole collection. This is one of the currenly newish collections from Models Own. I'm sure it is called the speckled eggs collection. So my nails will look like the cadburys mini eggs, sort of. The colour range of these is obviously limited to 5 shades I think, they are all pastel colours with black specks in it. These cost £5 and are available from Boots, Superdrug and the Models own website

The good
Quick drying time
Great Easter look for nails.
great pastel colours
Good pigmentation and lots of specks of different sizes come out 
They have cute names and do look similar to the eggs of the bird name that they have. 


The Bad
Can chip easily without a top coat.
Not easily wearable any time of the year other than easter

Summary
This polish is a beauty, I do love it. Not sure if I would wear it at any other time of the year since it does look like mini eggs on my fingers. I do love the cute pastel colours that these come in. I like the formula and everything about the polish, so it makes me want to get more of the Models Own nail polish.

Whats your favourite nail polish by models own, recommend me some and I will check them out and wlll get back to every comment I get.
