The Top Five : Summer Nail Polish Edition

So I thought I'd have a run down of a few of my favourite nail polishes for summer . These colours in particular have been doing the rounds on my nails all summer . I've never done the whole gel polish thing before , mainly because I just love popping into my local chemist / shop , and picking out a new nail polish to suit my mood and add to the collection .. One of life's simple beauty pleasures !

I'm Converted .. Revlon Powder Blush in 'Racy Rose'

 So out of all my make up , blush was never something I would get excited about . I have a few colours here and there , pushed to the back of my make up drawers , but it has never really been something that I thought 'Ooohh I must have that !' . And on a day to day basis it's not something

Almond Oil - The Beauty Multi-tasker

I first discovered this , when my little man was a baby , and had something called cradle cap which is common in most newborns , and the doc told us to try this out . Sure enough it worked a treat and totally cleared up . And only needing a few drops I still had a full bottle left , so decided to have a look and see what else I could use it for , I found a multitude of uses !

A New Discovery : L'accessoire By Sarah

I'm not the kinda gal that has too many exciting colours and patterns in my wardrobe , so I rely on jewellery and accessories to bring a look together and make it stand out . I think the right piece of jewellery can really take a pretty standard outfit to the next level . Just the way a red lip and a bit of

Revlon Colorburst Lacquer Balm In Coquette .. Pretty In Pink !

A while back I mentioned I could not wait to get my hands on the new Lacquer Balms by Revlon, and I finally did ! Were they everything I hoped for ? Oh yes !
I love the simplicity and ease of these crayon style products , they look chic , perfect for throwing in

The Morning After : How To Fake Looking Alive

That feeling when you look in the mirror the morning after , and what greets you is no pleasant sight. Puffy red eyes , blotchy dry skin , smudges of mascara and eyeliner ( sometimes you just can't face removing all your make up , the pillow is calling all to loudly! ) and a few extra spots courtesy of whatever was devoured post night out . Ideally , after a night like this , it would be spent indoors , in

New Revlon Parfumerie Scented Nail Enamel

  Lets just have a moment for these nail polish bottles ,  I mean have you ever seen a more adorable and chic design ?! I just want to collect them all and put them on show ! Revlon seriously  hit the nail on the head with these  ...  Ok , now I got that out of my system , let me give you my thoughts on the actual product .

For Dramatic Fluttery Lashes : Lancome Hypnose Star Mascara Noir Midnight

I will start this off by saying this Mascara is quite possibly the best I've ever owned . It's genuinely fantastic , all I want in a mascara , it lengthens , it gives volume , and it makes my lashes just look so fluttery ! The first time I tried this , my partner ( the kinda man that wouldn't notice if you've had

Scented Candles That Won't Burn A Hole In Your Pocket

If you are a fan of scented candles , you'll know that some of them can cost a small fortune . So they're not something you want to burn constantly or on a daily basis just to give your home a freshen up . I like to keep more high end candles for occasions , or if I'm planning a chilled pampering night in ,

Nail Polish Remover Just Got A Whole Lot Easier : Bourjois Nail Polish Remover Hands and Feet

We've all been there , hands nicely manicured and carefully polished nails , and then you realise your toes just ain't up to par , and need a fresh coat of polish . You try removing the polish with your traditional remover and cotton pad , and that's when things start to go horribly wrong .

For Us Pale Skin Gals : Dove Summer Glow Nourishing Lotion Gradual Tanner

The clue is in the title , it's all pretty straight forward , which is why I really like this stuff . It's just easy . I'm not someone that likes to stay faffing about with fake tan , I don't have much patience for it , and because of my lack of practice in the art of fake tan ,

Gillette Venus Embrace and Gillette Satin Care Sensitive Gel

Hair removal . The bane of my life . Especially in the summer months , when you can no longer afford to be on the lazier side of things ( just me ? ) . I tried waxing , but I am beyond a wimp , and couldn't face going back monthly . So I went back to shaving ,

Revlon PhotoReady Foundation and PhotoReady Compact Powder

I had bought these ages ago when they first came out , and absolutely adored them ! But I make a bad habit of after buying something new , whatever I was using before ends up lost and forgotten in the back of a make up drawer . So when I was sorting through some of my make up drawers last month
