Updated Nail Polish Collection

This is my third post on my nail polish collection but I thought I'd update you as in the past few months I've had a huge clear out (& a few more have been added :P)

Sorry about the sun/moon/stars duvet my nail polishes are on, I've had it since I was a child and sleep much better with this bedding haha.

I'm going to name them and link you to the posts where each polish is featured because you might want to see swatches (I haven't linked some because the photos aren't of good quality.)

The collection:



Barry M:
Coral 296, Pink Flamingo 305, Bright Pink 279, Limited Edition, Pure Turquoise 295, Mint Green 304, Boots Limited Edition 030, Strawberry Ice cream 309.


Boots 17 and Rimmel:
Ruby Dazzle, Fire Cracker, Catwalk Couture, True Blue, Royal Indigo, Pink Grapefruit and Rimmel's Rose Libertine.

Loreal, Stargazer and George:

I thought I had a lot more NOTD/W posts! Looks like I'll have to feature quite a few of these in the upcoming months.
I haven't linked a few because the photos are bad quality, looking back I'm ashamed I even posted them! So I will retake the photos :)

Someday Summary

A post with a little bit of everything ;)
I'm going to start doing this post every weekend; update, ins & outs, favourites and whatever tickles my fancy.

An update from the week:
I've sent off my Ucas application! This means I have officially applied to University :)

A purchase from the week:
2 ASOS nail paints for £1 each! Olivia: A bright orange and Lauren: A sky blue. I wanted more but all the other shades have sold out :/

Food of the week:
Peanut butter on toast! Have ate it everyday for two weeks...

A high point from the week:
All of my educational things have been paid for so I should be able to buy my Winter clothes soon!

A low point from the week:
Only having two pairs of jeans, two pairs of shoes and two hoodies to wear.

Here are a few photos which I have just found on We Heart It. I could show thousands but I'll keep it short :P






Have a good weekend!

Everyday Minerals Eye Shadow - All Spice and Starry Eyed

If you haven't yet read my review on Everyday Minerals Blushes, click here.
Everyday Minerals is a well known mineral make up brand. Their products are affordable, of high quality and their website is well designed: Everyday Minerals.

Here I have a couple of their eye shadows in travel sizes. The travel sizes are packaged in roller ball tubes so their easy to apply. When I first started wearing make up (12 years oldish) I bought an Avon roller ball eye shadow which I adored so these bring back memories!

All Spice and Starry Eyed.


All Spice and Starry Eyed swatches.

All Spice is described as: Like a soft neutral pink champagne laced with delicate white shimmer.
Starry Eyed is described as: A deep brown with silver shimmer.

As they are mineral, the formula is very soft. All Spice blends beautifully and is a great highlight colour. Starry Eyed is a little harder to blend because of it's dark colour but it's perfect for a crease colour.

The 'mini' sized pots are $7 (Around £4.40) and the travel roller balls are $4.50 (Around £2.80). These are so affordable!

Mineral, variety of colours (Currently 76 colours!) and easy on your purse, I would recommend these :)

I have many products on my wishlist from Everyday Minerals and will be buying from them in the future. (Their concealers and blushes are ah-mazing!)

Boots 17 Mirror Shine Lipstick in Flirtini

Sorry for the light reflecting off of the tube.



How pretty does this lipstick look?!
This is priced at £4.49.
17 say: 'A moisturising lipstick with a mirror-shine gloss. Containing the perfect combination of pigment and micro pearls, it cleverly reflects the light to create the optical illusion of fuller lips and gives a super sheer, wet-look finish.'

My thoughts: I completely agree with 17 so I don't need to repeat what they've said :)
This colour gives you the 'I've just eaten strawberries' look:


Beautiful colour, moisturising and glossy, just like a tinted lip balm :)

Nails Of The Week - Barry M Boots Limited Edition 030


I have wanted this colour for a while so am very glad Rachel from The Beauty Hall included it in the give away prize :)
This is a lilac with pink undertones and just like other Barry M Nail Paints, applies like a dream.
I'm very excited to own this because it's actually the first lilac I own! I know it's crazy.

Thank you Rachel!

Earlier this week I won Rachel's give away and I would like to say a huge thank you :)
Rachel's blog: http://thebeautyhall.blogspot.com/ Please take a look, it's a very good read!
Again, thank you Rachel!

GOSH Bronzing Shimmer Brush Review


This is GOSH's Bronzing Shimmer Brush which is new to the range. The price is £9.

The photos above show the brush, and the cap that covers the brush, making it easier to put the lid on.

Here are a few swatches:


& heavily swatched:


The product is gorgeous; finely milled bronze shimmer (As the name suggests!) which reflects the light beautifully.
The only thing I don't like about this product is the brush. This is no surprise as most 'built in' brushes aren't of great quality.
The brush isn't as soft as I would like but I'm willing to over look this as the product itself is great.


You can buy GOSH cosmetics in Superdrug stores and online

Thank you for reading :)
