Manicure Monday!

I have a sunday night routine which includes washing my hair, getting my bag ready for uni and painting my nails. Last night I decided to go for my last girly nail design for a while as starting from next weekend I am going to be in full christmas festive mode!

The nail varnish I used was Maybelline in 'Feline' and my Rio nail art tool pens. I then sealed my design with a Barry M topcoat. I decided to only do the rose design on the accent finger and to keep the other nails pretty simple as I thought it made it look chic and a little sophisticated. Let me know if this type of post is something you would be interest

Sorry that this post is a little short, I wanted to try something a little different with my blog! Let me know if this type of post is something you would be interested in!

Maybelline goodies!

This year Maybelline were the official makeup sponsors of London Fashion Week so had various stands around Somerset house. Something exciting was that Mollie King from the saturdays (who I have already stated was my fashion icon) had collaborated with Maybelline to design her own lipstick colour. I had read about this before going and wanted to make sure that I picked one up when I went. I was standing around the maybelline stand and the lady gave me and my mum one of the lipsticks and said we could have it! I have literally never felt luckier!

The colour is not as scary on the lips as it is in the tube. The packaging is lovely and pink and has Mollie's signature on the side which gives it an effect of how limited it is! I am not sure whether this will be released in shops but I will definitely keep my eye out if it does and let you all know!

Something else that Maybelline were selling where these 'beauty boxes' for £10 that had a particular look inside. As a paler person I wanted one that I knew would suit my skin tone and that I knew I would wear as an everyday look. I went for 'pure enhancement'.

The box included a Brow drama sculpting brow mascara in Dark Brown which is a little too dark for me so will be giving this away to my mum! It also included a Mega plush mascara in very black. Which is something I actually wanted to buy myself when I next went to boots so that was a bonus! Dream touch blush in Berry was also included which really matches my skin tone to give a natural blush which I love! Finally it came with Baby Lips in Hydrate and a Colour show nail lacquer in 'Nebline'. The baby lips has no colour so will be perfect for prepping the lips for lipstick and the nail varnish is a lovely neutral pale pink shade and something that I think I am going to love! I love that I had only paid £10 for the box and once I had added everything up it had come to £25-ish so I defiantly found a bargain!

I really like the way they packaged this box and presented it as it makes it appear exciting to buy and I spotted the box right away and wanted it! 

Hope you enjoyed this blog comment and let me know if you have tried any of these products!

London fashion weekend goodies!

*Warning this post is very picture heavy!

I was going to write and post this post later on in the week/weekend but I was far to excited to look through everything I had bought and got at London fashion week that I knew I wasn't going to be able to stop myself from using the bits I had got!

Starting with the goody bag.

This year the goody bag has been designed for London fashion week by the designer 'Sister by Sibling'. It is a contrasting and bright fun bag this year and is totally different to the Mulberry one from last year! Inside the bag was a number of goodies! 

Inside was a Maybelline New York volume express colour shock mascara in shade electric blue. I have never tried a colour mascara before but am excited to try this one out! Also included was a Lavazza coffee granuals. This was also included last year and I LOVE the way the coffee tastes! 

Something that I had never heard of before was 'Beauty Candy'. Apparently it is the treats that the models have been eating backstage but I am yet to try it! An interesting item in the bag was kusmi tea. I haven't tried this either but it smells lovely! Maybelline were the official makeup sponsers this year and they included a limited edition one in the bag. The shade is a bright red and has a 'leather' effect. I have always wanted to try one of these so am so excited to finally have one to experiment with! Finally LFW has collaborated with Label. M again and have given away a small hairspray and Protein spray. This is something that was also given last year and I loved the quality of the product! 

So that was everything in the Goody Bag! I have a couple more blog posts coming soon with some final bits from LFW! But I am so excited to go again in February! If anyone has been let me know how you found it? I definitely thought it was more busier this year but with less stalls! Get in touch below! 

Thank-you! x

Lipstick Haul and review!

I am a sucker for a cute lipstick and when spotting these little beauty's this summer I felt it would only be write to blog about them. The lipsticks in question are 'Pink Punch- Baby Lips' 'English Rose- Maxfactor colour elixir' 'Bombshell- Mac Frosted lipstick' and 'Lovesick- Revlon Just Bitten, Kissable Balm Stain'.

Similarities?
Two of these colours are very similar in the way they look although they do have different textures when applied to the lips. My favourite out of the 4 has to be my MAC lipstick which I have been wearing as part of an everyday makeup look. The other two lipsticks are very different to anything I have ever owned and I love that the Revlon balm stain really does last ALL day!

Product most shocked by

The product that I was most shocked by was the quality of the Pink Punch Baby Lips balm. I had heard of the hype for this item from many you tubers/bloggers in the states and was waiting patiently for this product to come to the UK. I now totally agree why it is so loved. This balm stays on the lips for a really long time and moisturises as well as looking really pretty. I have even been wearing it over the Lovesick Revlon Balm Stain.

Packaging 
The packaging for all of these products is really professional. I love the way that the Baby lips is in a 'twisty' tube rather than in a pot as it makes it really easy to apply. I also really like how the Revlon Balm Stain can be twisted up. I would also like to note here that I have had this product over a month now and I haven't had to twist it up yet, even though I have worn it everyday!. Maxfactor have also really 'upped' their game when it comes to their packaging. Although the lipstick isn't high end the golden case looks so professional and I really like how you can see the colour at the bottom of the case. Finally, the MAC lipstick is in a classic MAC casing. I love the simplicity of all MAC products and this lipstick definitely did not disappoint. (I also secretly really like the smell of MAC lipsticks!)

Overall all of these products have been worth the price that I had paid for them and I will definitely be buying more when these ones run out! (dreading that day).
