Nail art brushes and rhinestones.

I used and washed these brushes yesterday and just have to show you them!

These are from eBay. I paid £1.03 and I'm more than happy! I wouldn't mind paying a lot more. The straight ones are great for eyeliner but my favourite two are on the far right. The dotting tool is great for creating dots (Duh!) and the small brush is perfect for details.
The seller I bought these from has not re-listed them but there are tons of sellers selling them for around £2.


Next:
I bought these rhinestones for 99p and again, a lot of sellers sell them. The rhinestones are 1.5mm in diameter, I'm thinking of ordering some bigger ones. These are very tricky to apply but practise makes perfect! Don't be fooled by photos, the wheel is a lot small than you think. It fits in the palm of my hand and is the size of a cotton wool pad, which isn't a problem, just thought I'd let you know :)

I want to get some fine glitter now, I think it would look gorgeous along the tips of your nails.

Nail art for a few pounds!

Nails Of The Week!


17's Pink Grapefruit is one of my favourite pinks! I wanted to try out my nail art brushes so I used the dotting tool to create a simple dotted design. The colour of the dots is Barry M's Indigo.

Sponsored posts and blogging for 'freebies'.

I wanted to write a quick post on the above subjects because what you think of me, means a lot.

I know a lot of people don't like sponsored posts. I've wrote one, I'll be writing another and that is all the sponsored posts I will do.
*Cue excuse* haha. Our boiler is broke, meaning no heating and no hot water. We cannot afford to get a new one so the money from these posts are going towards a boiler.

I don't have a problem with sponsored posts, it's the blogger's choice, but I don't want to write any more because I don't want to lose respect from the people who don't like them.

I would like to think I've made a few friends through blogging and hopefully, one day I can meet them. I want to keep you guys as friends, I don't want to be someone you dislike.

Another point I would like to bring up is the whole blogging for freebies situation. I've come across a few bloggers who do blog for freebies and I've unfollowed.
I, in no way, blog for freebies. They are a bonus, but if they were taken away, I wouldn't care and would still keep on blogging.
Just thought I'd clarify that in case any of you had doubts. & if you did, shame on you! haha I would never do that.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that ALL my reviews are honest. I have wrote negative things on products I've been sent, because it's my honest opinion.
I've also stopped putting disclaimers at the bottom of my posts because whether a product was sent to me or not is not going to affect my opinion.

Stargazer nail polish - 104

Price: £2.50

This is the perfect bright/neon pink with fine shimmer and will definitely brighten your day.
The formula is amazing; smooth, full coverage in 1-2 coats and I've had mine for a year and a half and the formula hasn't changed :)

These polishes are so underrated, the price is really affordable, great formula and there is a large range of colours.
I have a few more but am definitely going to pick up some others :)

Want to win £40,000?




 



If you've logged into Paypal recently, you would have seen a notice stating 'Win £40,000!'. Skipped past this thinking 'Yeah right'? Think again!

Now onto the fun part, what would you spend it on?!



I'm the kind of person who loves to write lists so before I started spending, I would write down what I wanted. Scrap that, before I even wrote a list, I would run around the house screaming and shouting in a language that doesn't exist on earth. Back to the list! Being the nice daughter that I am :P I would give my parents quarter of the money. I would then save £20,000 (I'm such a boring spender!) and spend £10,000 on a laptop, camera, clothes, clothes and clothes. Oh and make-up, of course.



 



You can buy whatever you please for a chance to win the prize and if you win the prize, you can buy more! Here are a few ideas:

ASOS One Long Sleeve Fitted Waist Dress £38

Urban Decay Naked Palette £27.50. Of course ;)



Bourjois Little Round Pot Eyeshadow in Beige Rose £5.99. Great highlight colour.

Frontcover Mermaid Dreams Set £26. Great Christmas present for someone *hint hint*



Aussie Miracle Hair Insurance Leave-in Conditioner £3.59. I've had bottles of this, it smells amazing and leaves your hair ultra soft!

November Favourites

I rarely write 'monthly favourites' posts because I tend to stick to the same products so every month would be very similar!

  • TRESemmé Smooth Silk Shine Finishing Spray (Post here)
  • TRESemmé No Frizz Smoothing Serum (Post here)
^ These two products have made my hair unbelievably smooth and shiny. My hair has always been in good condition and now it's in the best condition of my life!

  • Nubar 2010 (Post here)
^ This is just beautiful. Reflective glitter flakes. It looks best over dark colours, the other week I put it over Barry M's Indigo and it looked stunning. Unfortunately I couldn't get any photos because of the dark evenings we are getting and it doesn't show up well with a flash on.

  • Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick in Mystic Mauve (Post here)
^ I never thought I'd like a Mauve lipstick. This is a cooled toned pink with mauve undertones and is perfect for everyday wear.

  • Sleek Original Palette (Post here)
  • First Light Cosmetics Mineral Blush in Kohilo (Post here)
^ I don't change the products I use very often, boring I know! and I've been using these products daily for quite some time.
I don't wear eyeshadow on my lids much but I wear it on my lower lash line. I've been using this palette everyday and as eyeliner, they stay put all day. I tend to combine the navy, blue and purple.

I've been using the Kohilo blush everyday for a month and a half haha! The shimmer is so fine, it doubles up as a highlighter and gives the most beautiful glow.
