Mini Boots Haul....

Mini Boots Haul....

Hello, so finally after a week off exams and mocks I finally have some time to write my blog post which is just a mini haul.Last saturday I went shopping and brought a few things from boots I managed to not spend that much as I had to take self control over spending my money so why not get in to the haul.

Overview of the things I brought.

The first thing I brought was the new Maybelline Dream Pure BB cream  I absolutely love BB creams and I like to try different ones and this is defiantly in my top 5 know this BB cream is actually for oily skin which is great as sometimes i can get oily skin.It has great coverage as well but is very light on your skin so you can still get the coverage that you want and you will not have to wear foundation.

It looks very dark on here but I think its the lighting.

The next 5 things that I are all nail polishes i have a few Essie Nail polishes and two Barry M nail polishes.The first Barry M nail polish is the Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Print in the shade Papaya 319 which when applied looks like gel nails it is a perfect coral colour and would be perfect with a tan and only needs one coat .The second Barry M polish I brought is the Confetti Nail Effect in the shade Marshmallow 322 which is a baby pink with sprinkles in it  but feels a bit like velvet sprinkle it applies lovely to your nails and only needs one coat. 

The next three I got were Essie Nail polishes,The first one I brought I have been looking for this shade for ages and I could never find it and that shade is Mint Candy Apple like Abbie said in her last post mostly every beauty guru on youtube has this colour and recommends it,its a mint kinda green colour and looks perfect when applied but will need two coats.The second Essie Colour I got is Full Stream Ahead  from the new Essie Summer 2013 collection its a nice light purple colour and you can't see it but has little bits of glitter in it.The last one I got is also from the 2013 Summer collection is called Sunday Funday  Its a pink/coral colour and is great from the summer hence that it is in the summer collection and it has again little bits of glitter in it.

Summer nails!

My favorite nail polishes...

I have a slight obsession with nail polish but i have narrowed 67 down to my top 5... Here we go!

This really pretty purple is by Angelica which can be found in Primark. This is the shade Flirty - 99 and it is a lilac with a slight glitter in it which can only really be seen in light. Angelica nail polishes are just £2.50! Which  is great because they last and don't chip easily. Ill definitely be looking out for more colours! 

Here i have another Angelica nail polish. This one is a glitter and is the shade Spring Break. I use this just on my ring finger nail and it looks amazing over all the polishes i'm going to mention. Despite being glitter and another layer of thick polish it stays really well and as long as you don't mess with it could definitely last a week. This is also just £2.50... bargain! 

This is the nail polish that every beauty blogger and YouTuber seems to have its Mint Candy Apple by Essie.  Its a really cute mint colour (hence the name) however it is quite thin so takes 2 coats to turn out the colour it looks in the bottle. It is really good quality and lasts well as long as you don't pick it ( I found this out during exams, picking it when i was nervous and wasted a lot topping it up). It is pricey at £7.99 but Superdrug and Boots often have offers on their nail products.

This is probably one of my favorite nail polishes EVER! The picture really doesn't so it justice, its a really bright hot pink which is great if your going on holiday or just going out in the sun. It is Funky Fuchsia from Avon as part of their Arabian glow collection. If your really girly or just love bright nails this is definitely the colour for you! I love Avon generally but there nail products are by far my favorite and not to expensive at around £6.

Another Avon nail polish is the 24k gold strength. This looks really nice on its own but is still subtle so good for if your not really aloud nail polish for school. I like to use it over coloured polishes just to add a shimmer too. I'm not sure how much this is but its probably again around £6.

Best Items for summer

Best Items for summer....

  

Hello everyone I thought that I would  do a post on the best items for summer as soon I am going on holiday I have picked out a few of my favorite things that I bring with me on holiday from beauty essentials,hair essentials and my favorite nail polishes, so lets get started.


The first thing that is great to use in summer time or on holiday is a BB cream as its not heavy and still gives you that coverage that you are looking for,the one i have been using for along time know and have brought again is the 17 BB cream this is also good as it has SPF 25 in it so you you will not have to worry about not wearing suncream if you apply this BB cream.

The next thing  that is my all time favorite beauty product is a bronzer its from Benefit Hoola Bronzer this bronzer gives you a nice healthy natural glow and a "tan" all year round you can use this in the winter and the summer and it still is not a heavy product on your face I reccomend that if you tan and go a dark colour then don't wear this over the top as it can be dark its up to how much you apply.

The next thing is what I always take on holiday and wear nearly every day and that is lip balm, lip balm is crucial on holiday as chapped lips will not look nice with a tan, you can get lip balm from Boots that has SPF in them but you can also use normal ones. The ones i have are and EOS in tangerine  and the Nivea Milk and Honey when im on holiday i just slip these in my beach bag and just apply to my lips when I think I need to.

The next thing that always comes on holiday with me and what i have used for ages is the Moroccan Oil this is a great product that leaves your hair looking healthy and shiny it also gets rid of knots that are in your hair,I always apply this when my hair is wet and normally just comb though my hair.If you have naturally curly hair like me than this will be perfect every time you have a shower or your hair is wet just comb this through and it will make your hair look healthy,don't go overbaord with this and apply everyday as it might damage your hair.

Next is a couple of Essie nail polishes that i think are perfect for when you go on holiday Essie have a great range of all different summer colours and these are 2 of my favourite which are a purple and a pink.The purple is more of a lilac colour and has a little bit of a shimmer in it so when you move your hand it sparkles you will need 2 coats of this to be able to see it in full affect the name of this colour is She's Picture Prefect.The next is a kind of a baby pink but still very bright this has been my all time favorite ever since i have brought it and have always wore it on my toes and finger nails the name of this colour is Lovie  Dovie trust me this colour looks better on with 2 coats.

 Also another thing that me and my mom use a lot on holiday is the Benefit silky glimmering body balm this adds a light shade of a gold shimmery pink sheen to your legs and putting it on top of tan legs gives them a nice healthy glow.Its also a very soft product to apply and isn't sticky when applied.

The last thing that is my all time favorite is the Marc Jacobs Daisy perfume  this perfume has a very summery fruity smell to it and makes you feel fresh,the big bottle will be worth the money as you once you smell it you will get addicted, the bottle it also comes in is very cute and summery,we always buy on at the airport in duty free so we don't have to carry one over in the suitcase.

Birthday

Birthday Haul....

Hello, 

So on June 11th this week it was my birthday so i thought why not do a birthday haul for you lot. I had alot of money and cards for my birthday and many lovely gifts of people so why not show you.

The day started off with me waking up at 7 getting ready for school and going down stairs  and seeing my cat sitting next to ballons that my mom had gotten me and a pile of presents and cards.

The first thing that I got of my family was a tiffany's & co bracelet this was my main present and I was very lucky to be able to have such nice gift. The bracelet I chose was a silver beaded with a mini heart tag.

The next things I got was some baby pink sparkly vivienne westwood earrings that are a lovely light pink from Selfridges. I also got a Celine top from a store on ebay which is just a white top with black writing it looks lovely with a pair of Levi's shorts to style it.

The next thing I got from my whole family were some baby pink Nike shoes that where crystalized  by a lady called SparkleWithEmily (http://sparklewithemily.co.uk/) these will look lovely with a pair of leggings and a nice top, as the crystals on the top make them stand out more. 

Nike shoes 

The next thing I got was a lovely Ted Baker makeup bag from Abbie which is a lovely floral design and has a lovely bold pink detail on the side of the makeup bag, it has alot of space for my makeup so that I can take it on holiday and be able to fit everything in it.

Even though I had school on my birthday and revision for my exams I was lucky enough to not have an exam on my birthday but had an exam the day after, I am so lucky to be able to have these lovely gifts and i am very grateful and im not trying to brag about the stuff I have been given overall my birthday was amazing and I had such a good day.
