8 NEW Barry M Colours and Effects | Nails

So, seen as I am new to blogging you won't know me very well .... but basically I am slightly obsessed with Barry M nail varnish. And when I say slightly... i mean VERY. As soon as new colours or effects come out, they are already on order, I just love them so much! 

Pretty, and not Pricey! 

So these are the newest 8 colours, including 3 effects. The new effect is called 'Chameleon' If you want to see a brief video introducing these colours so you can see what they are called and what they look like on, then check out my quick VIDEO

I'll be sure to do some more detailed posts and videos on these new colours very soon!

The Holiday | Film

Starring Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, Jack Black and many more. Truly a top 10 film. Great for those days when you are feeling hopelessly romantic. I could honestly watch this film over and over again. If you've not seen it ... Well what are you doing?! Hurry up and watch it!

Spa Therapy Products | Review

I got these three items in a hotel recently, and I thought I would share them with you guys, because I really liked them. So the three items ... a conditioning shampoo, a body lotion and a soap. First of all the soap is so cute! It is a reasonable size (20g) very suitable for a travel kit, and it contains Aloe Vera. It smells divine, and feels really soft on your skin. Next up is the body lotion, it is a  'relaxing sea fennel' and contains 30ml of product; again perfect for travelling. It is slightly scented; a kind of soft floral cream smell, if that makes any sense at all! The conditioning shampoo bottle contained the same amount, and was entitled 'softening sea lettuce'. Again this has a scent, but it isn't too harsh to have on your hair. I have to say, even though it claims to be both a conditioner and shampoo, I would only use this as a shampoo. It has the foaming qualities of a shampoo, so that's what it should be. Just a cute little set I wanted to share with you!

Rimmel London Stay Matte Pressed Powder | Review

This pressed powder is by far, the best and most affordable powder I have ever used. In Boots this powder only costs £3.99; and it is definitely worth it! I have used up at least 6 of these powders, since I first discovered them, and since finding them I have tried many other powders, but always returned to Stay Matte. I love how it eliminates shine, and stays put for several hours. As a result of its low cost, it will not last as long as 12 hours on your skin, like some other powders claim to do, but a little goes a long way, so re-application isn't an issue. I like to apply it with a Kabuki Brush and put it all over my face, and slightly down my neck. It has a good coverage, and if it isn't good enough for you, try it over a foundation. It will set it nicely and give you that extra coverage, and matte look. Try out this fantastic pressed powder! FYI i use it in 'Silky Beige' and i have normal to light skin.
