Nails Of The Week!

ASOS Paint in Lily.

I love it. I love the packaging, the formula, the name, everything!

And my application skills look pretty good here; I didn't need to touch up once!

The only thing is, it's so hard to capture the colour on camera. I've took so many photos and it keeps coming out pea green. It's much greener in real life and so much more beautiful.

*Will try and take a better photo today.*

MAC Goodies!

My MAC prizes from One More Lipstick's giveaway arrived this morning! Thank you so much Zoe :)

Shroom eyeshadow - 'Soft muted golden beige with opalescent shimmer (Satin)'

I couldn't get a decent photo of the swatch but I will upload one soon :)

This is my second MAC eyeshadow (The other one being Expensive Pink) and I'm slightly disappointed in the pigmentation. It's not bad but I have eyeshadows from cheaper brands which are much more pigmented.

Angel lipstick - 'Soft pink (Frost)'

Gorgeous isn't it?

Thank you again Zoe :)

Superdrug Colour Effects Wash In, Wash Out Conditioning Colour in Rich Red

Superdrug Colour Effects Wash In, Wash Out Conditioning Colour in Rich Red 6:4

Price: 99p

'Colour Effects will add beautiful tones to your hair whilst leaving it in great condition and with a fantastic

shine. Rich red adds warm red tones to light brown to mid brown hair.'

Just to clarify, this is not a dye. It's a tint which will fade after a few washes.

You ready?

Looks scary doesn't it!

I applied this just like I would with a hair dye; wet hair and then comb the product through.

I used around half of the tube as I have really long, thick hair.

It says to leave on between 5 and 20 minutes. You will not get any results if you leave it on for 5 minutes so leave it on for the minimum of 20 minutes.

When rinsing the colour, the water goes bright orange which to most will seem scary and this phrase will run through your head: 'I don't want Ginger hair!'

I didn't have this worry because I already have Ginger hair haha.

Before and After:

My hair is actually darker than what it shows in the photos. My true hair colour is close to the shade at the bottom of the photos.

I really like it! It's brightened my locks and now I am closer to being a true redhead . This does only last a few washes but you can get a few applications out of one tube so it should last you longer. It also helps you decide whether the shade suits you and then you can think of going semi permanent or permanent.

This product is great if you want to 'add' to your hair colour for a party, wedding etc. + it's only 99p! You can get a couple to last a few weeks.

There are other colours including a couple blondes and brunettes.

Again, this does not colour your hair but brightens and adds tones (Of the colour you've chosen) to your hair.

Today's purchases

I like reading posts like this because it shows you the bits and bobs available and on offer (Websites don't show a lot of products)

So I hope you like them too!

^ All from Superdrug

Superdrug shower gels 2 for £1.50

Aussie Miracle Hair Insurance Leave-in Conditioner £3.45 - My favourite leave in conditioner ever!

Colour Effects Wash In Wash Out Conditioning Colour (Rich Red) 99p - This brightens your hair and adds tones of whatever colour you have picked (In this case, red). This comes out within a few washes.

Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer £3.99 - My favourite concealer, have just ran out after using it for months!

At the beginning of the store, where you pay, I saw Vaseline Rosy Lips in a stick (I'm assuming it's a new product because it said 'new'). I love Rosy Lips but hate tin lip balms so this will be great. Unfortunately I had no money left but my sister is going in town today and if she has any money spare she said she would pick one up for me :)

Someday Summary

These are getting a little repeated so next week I'll switch things up a bit... not sure how but I'll think of that when the time comes :P

A purchase from the week:

Nothing, but tomorrow I'm purchasing my trusty Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer (Current one has lasted well over four months!) and a wash in wash out dye to brighten my locks.

Update:

This is something no one will care about but I bought a flask Friday so now I can take tea and soup to school! This is going to be a life saver as it's been so cold recently!

A high point from the week:

I got a conditional offer from Plymouth University. This is good... but I need the grades to get in and at the moment I'm not feeling confident about that.

A low point from the week:

I'm failing Psychology :( Keep getting E's so really need to revise LOADS or else I won't get into University.

Another low point is that this week I have 2 essays to write...

Oh and another (They keep on coming don't they!) is right in the middle of my January exams, I have a HUGE Media essay to write for my coursework and I also have to create a magazine. It's going to get in the way of revision... + I need to take photos in sunny weather and I doubt we'll get that in December/January.

We heart it time! I could only find a few I like:

Love the film UP!

ASOS Paints #2

The first two colours I ordered (Lauren and Olivia- blue and orange.) arrived yesterday and I wrote a post on them here.

The other four I ordered arrived today (Also ordered 'Katy'- a bright red but it was out of stock so I have been refunded.)

Blake- Pink, Lily- Green, Megan- Purple and Gwen- Wine Red.

EDIT: More swatches:

I picked these up in the ASOS sale for just £1 a piece (Normally £6).

The formula is great; smooth, non streaky, great colour pay off :)

Look out for some nail posts, I cannot wait to use these!

Nails Of The Week!

My last post was about a couple of ASOS nail paints and I swatched them for you. I actually thought it looked quite cool so I painted my other hand like it too, but on my other hand my middle finger is painted with the darker blue and my index finger is painted with the orange, to mix it up a bit ;)

Not to everyone's taste, but I like it :)
