Nail Polish Of The Week

This week I am wearing Lead by Topshop. The picture does not do this polish justice, it looks black, but I can assure you it's a really dark purple with a green undertone. It depends which way the light is shining on it basically! I got this last week and thought it would be an awesome shade for winter.

I really think Topshop have upped their game in regards to nail polish. I have not seen this colour with any other brand. I also saw they had a glitter polish which looked extremely similar to the OPI muppets glitter polish, which is great as OPI is pretty impossible to get where I live!

What do you think of this weeks polish? Do you like the Topshop range? If so what colour would you recommend?

Review - Chanel Soleil Tan De Chanel

Hi guys!

I am reviewing this Chanel bronzer today. I am an avid Pixiwoo follower (check our their You Tube channel here, http://www.youtube.com/user/pixiwoo if you have been under a rock and don't know what I am talking about!).  Nic always uses their bronzer, but it always looked a bit scary to me!  So I never tried it.

However, I was still on my mission to find the perfect bronzer.  The last one I used was Mac Mineralize Skinfinish in Medium Deep and I talked about in my Everday Make Up blog.  I did like this, but I think as the weather got colder and my tan from my Ibiza holiday in May faded, it started to look orange.  And the hubby told me this so it must have been noticeable!!!  So, I did read some of my fellow bloggers reviews on this, and kept reading again and again, it was good for fair skin.  I had some points on my Debhanams Beauty Card (always comes in handy!) so decided to take the plunge.

And guess what, I really REALLY like it!  I did struggle applying it to start with, but found through trial and error that a kabuki brush is best to apply this with.  I did try the Real Techniques Contour Brush, but feel like the kabuki brush is just better to apply.

I know on the photo it does look a bit orange!!  But this is just a swatch!  I guarantee once blended into your foundation, you just get a lovely, natural glow.

You can find the Soleil Tan De Chanel here - http://www.chanel.com/en_GB/fragrance-beauty/Makeup-Bronzers-SOLEIL-TAN-DE-CHANEL-95742

Have you tried this product?  Is it a staple in your make up bag, or do you hate it??  Let me know!

Nail Polish Of The Week

Evening all!

This weekend I wore Nails Inc Montrose Place. This is a really bright metallic pink, I have to confess I forgot about this one when I bought Nails Inc Notting Hill Gate in the summer as I normally prefer matte colours, but I really like this one and it was perfect for a night out in Liverpool.

Then on my ring figure, I added Topshop Nails in Ice Cruse for a bit of sparkle!

What colours are you loving for your nails at the moment?

Review - Bourjois Faux & Fabulous Eyelash Applicator

Hi everyone!

Check out what I got today! It was 3 for 2 in Boots, and I already wanted to get the Real Techniques 4 pack brush set, then I noticed the new Bourjois eyelashes which I read about online a couple of days ago

They aren't like any of my Mac or Eyelure lashes and I just thought they were really pretty!!

Then this little gadget caught my eye! Now, it's a bit of a lie, because they are not tweezers at all, definitely just an eyelash applicator, but I think they are ace!

I have used tweezers to apply false lashes for such a long time, but I just think this little gadget is going to be great for those of you who find applying lashes really tricky!! Plus I got them for free, so thought I would give them a go!

It is really easy to use, and you have a little more control of the lashes!  And because there's a rubber tip on the end, there's also less chance of poking yourself in the eye!

Don't get me wrong, a pair of tweezers will do, but I would definitely say this would be great for those of you just starting to experiment with false lashes, due to the added control you get. 

Do you have these or anything similar?

What do you think?

Update!

Hey all, hope you are well!

I am in middle of redesigning my layout, and the bedroom is nearly decorated, then I can start blogging properly again, woop!

Anyway, as it's getting colder, I am in need of a winter foundation as during the warmer months, I have been wearing Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser.

I can't decided between Estée Lauder Double Wear and YSL Touché Éclat. Both are roughly the same price, and I have £8 on my Debhanams Beauty Card!

I have a sample of the YSL (which is on my review list!) and really like it, but haven't got a sample of the Estée Lauder.

Thoughts peeps?

Nail Polish Of The Week

Hi guys!

Not done one of these posts for so long! Only because my friend has just qualified in doing nails so I have had a gel French manicure for the past month or so, but I am currently giving them a break.

I have always seen a lot of fellow You Tubers and bloggers talk about Essie but it wasn't available near where I live. I went into Boots a few weeks ago and found it woop!

They are £7.99 which I think it quiet reasonable and I LOVE them! I will definetly be getting some more colours! The quality is brilliant and I know I always wear a top coat anyway but this seems to chip less than my Nails Inc ones. This is a lovely pinky purple colour called Splash Of Grendaine.

Do you wear Essie nail polishes? What colour would you recommend?
