So I did a little bit of shopping....

So in complete contrast to my other post about how I was going to be good and study until my exams... Well I did a tiny bit of shopping for things which I had to have!

I am going to review some of the products I picked up in either a blog post or a YouTube video do look out for that

Things I NEEDED OKAY:


Maybelline BB cream in the oily skin version- I have tried the normal version and I love it so I really want to see whether this stays on my skin longer and helps my spots ( which it claims to do)


Seventeen All Dolled Up mascara in brown- This is not a purchase I would have normally made but I had a boots voucher for this mascara for only £2 so thought I should get it. I originally got it in the black but the shop assistant switched it and I ended up getting it in the brown. I've been wearing this quite a lot and I have to say I really like it! Because of the low price tag I wasn't expecting much but if you love natural looking lashes then this is amazing- it stays on my oily eyelids but is easy to wash off :) Its definitely going in my everyday makeup bag for spring and summer!





Garnier PureActive Charcoal Scrub- I so excited when I happens the drugstore/high street was coming out with a charcoal based face product as I love the Michael Todd charcoals mask- it is incredible and my skin loves it! Unfortunately it is super expensive so I hope this lives up to my expectations

I also picked up:
Simple Makeup Wipes, Simple Hydrating Facial wash gel, Tressemmé Platinum Strengh Shampoo and Tressemmé Keratin Smooth Condiditoner.

BarryM Nail Effects Review

So I decided to branch out from my usual nail polishes and actually put some effort in for once!
 I decided to try out some of the BarryM nail effects paint as I had heard mixed reviews about them.


 I first applied a bright pink colour called...Bright Pink- what an inventive name, which I have worn several times on its own as it such a  perfect spring colour! I had to apply two coats of the pink to get the colour in the bottle.
Then I added the nail effects cracking nail polish in Black and then just applied a clear coat on top

I love the effect I think my nails look amazing but that black cracking coat was rather gloopy so I would advise putting it in the fridge before applying- it makes so much difference.


Hope you like the finished look!

I am happy to say like all BarryM nail paints the colour lasts extremely well if two or three coats are applied, With this design my nails lasted around 5 days before they started chipping so I am very pleased with the result
