NOTW: Barry M Nail Paint 279 Bright Pink


Hey guys, today I'm supporting the Barry M Nail Paint in 279 Bright pink. It's probably my favourite nail varnish and is the perfect 'barbie' pink colour. It's flattering on any skintone, and makes a cute daywear colour or a rocking night colour :)

I've heard many different reviews on the Nail Paints. some people find them great whilst others say they are hard to apply and that the take a long time to dry. I find them easy to apply but hey do take a little time to dry (I use a hairdryer to help me!) and they go sticky whilst drying and when you touch it to check it's dry, it's very sticky.

I have 4 nail paints, and the colours are highly pigmented and are gorgeus :) i will be expanding my colection believe me ;)

Whats your favourite nail paint?

Max Factor Lash Extension Effect Mascara Review

:( I'm sad. :( Max Factor...What happened? Ok, it's not that bad Maybe a :/ face? On Tuesday when I went Lakeside I was showing my Mum Max Factor's False Lash Effect Mascara (which is still my fave btw!) and noticed that this mascara was on introductory off at £7.99 so I got it.


I'm fairly disapointed and I'll share with you why...

Ok ignore horrific skin :S Yes, it gets in corners as it claims and lengthens. but it's really not that thick.

And when the offer finishes you will be paying £10.99 for only 6.5ml unlike the huge amount of 13.1ml for that price. BIG difference.

Also, if you hold the wand up to the light you can see the purple on the wand, showing not a lot of mascara is actually on the wand.

If you like long lashes which are not thick, get this. But get it before the offer runs out. It's worth it.

My Sknicare routine

Sorry for the lack of posts :( Half term has been about shopping, chilling and sleeping! :D
So I was thinking about doing this post, fairly helpful in some cases, and alot of products I recomend. So maybe you could ask for some reviews? 'Hint Hint' ;) So let's go!

1. Ok I'll start with my face. I shower at night on Sunday-Thursday. (I'll either have a bath or a wash on Friday. It's not acctually that good for you to was so much everyday so on Friday I generally just wash. On Saturday I shower in the morning.

Before I shower on a night, I apply Soap & glory's Clean Mary. I leave it on why I'm in the shower and once dried, I wash off before moisturising my body.

2. Then I'll moisturise my body. I either use soap & Glory's Righteous Butter, or (newly bought) Body shop Mango Body Butter. (I use the small butter, 50ml.)

3. Every-other-day I exfoliate in the shower. (It's not good to do this every day, as it can dry out skin.) I use Soap & Glory's Flake Away. I also use the Soap & Glory Clean On Me shower gel. I love Soap & Glory. It's just amazing and ALL their products smell good :)

4. To moisturise my face I use The Body Shop Vitiman C Skin Reviver. It's expensive yes, and very small. You don't necessarily get results straight away, but after a few days it really works :)

5. To remove Make-up, I use Simple Cleansing Wipes. They're good to use, and gentle on the skin.

6. Once or twice a wek, I use Soap & Glorys Fab Pore Intensive Facial Peel. This helps shrink pores and keeps skin baby soft.

7. On my hands (clearly!) and sometimes my elbows I use Soap & Glorys Hand Food. Smells divine, is fast drying and just utterly gorgeus.

PRODUCTS MENTIONED:

Soap & Glory Clean Mary £6

Soap & Glory The righteous butter Small-£2.50 Big-£10.00

The Body Shop Body Butter (Mango) Small-£5.00 Big-£12.50

Soap & Glorys Flake Away Small-£2.50 Big-£6.50

January Favourites :)

Hey :) I know this is late, but I'm doing it now otherwise I'll never actually do it! And I should start with January right? I've tried to get a variety, but I had to say the things I'm loving this month! :)

Quick Note: Apoligies for the poor quality of photos :S The lighting in my room is shocking! :(

Necklaces:
Ok, I keep my long necklaces in my wardrobe, and I love 'em! They just make an outfit don't they? They go with absolutely everything, and make your figure nicer :)
Soap & Glory Hand Food:
You may have seen this in my Haul, but I can't get enough! I have the small one and the big one. The small one is in my handbag, since the cold weather makes my hands go quite dry :/ This is heaven! Non-greasy, quick drying, very moisturising and smells great - what more could you want?
The full size one costs £4.50 and the mini one is £2.25, a bargain I must say! I got this with 1/3 off, which is still on at Boots! Go now before the offer runs out, you save so much money! With the 1/3 off the full size one is £2.99, a cool saving of £1.51 and the mini one is £1.49, a wicked saving of 76p! That makes it seem a whole lot better! :)
an extra bonus is that you don't need much, and trust me, you really don't need much. That's the only thing I dont like about the big one, too much comes out but the little one is fine :)
If you smell the tube, you can hardly smell it, but once rubbed in your hands it smells really sweet and marshmallow like. Gorgeus!

False Lash Effect Mascara:
Sorry for the dodgy photo :(

Soap & Glory eau de Soap & Glory Formula 2:
So, as you can tell, I'm a huge S&G fan,I love it! This is their perfume, and its gorgues! I'm awful at explaining smells, so I'll leave you to go have a smell in Boots yourself :)
Look how cute the packaging is, and it's not one of those cheap card boxes, its really sturdy :) The bottle is cute, and not too 'extra' as I like to say ;)
I'ts £15.00 from boots, or if like me, you get it in the 1/3 off sale, it's £10.00 :D

Barry M Nail Paints:

£2.95, Boots or Superdrug. Fab-u-lous! :D These are great, last a long time and the colours are cool :) I have 3. and love 'em all. Sorry for bad quality photo :(

(l-r) 279 Bright Pink, 305 Pink Flamingo, 272 Shocking Pink

There's loads of colours and they're really good! Recomend? Defo :)



Thick Socks:

Not the nicest to look at, I know. But they're so warm! Espiecally when Mother Nature can't make up her mind, 'Snow, wind, rain, make it a bit warmer for a day then go back to freezing? I can't decide!' they're perfect :) Espiecally with Uggs, so nicee! :)

So they're my Janruary favourites, questions? Just comment and I WILL get back A.S.A.P

HAUL: No1

So, it's time for my first haul! :D
Today, I was walking to my friends for a list to dance, and had a quick pop in Boots (My fave! ;) )

I needed make-up wipes, but came out with more! :) So, lets start! :)I got two Simple Cleansing Facial wipes and a S&G Flake Away (Mini) And S&G Hand Food (Full size)

I needed some make-up remover wipes, so had a look round Boots, these were 2 for £4, so I got them. I'm actually using one now! loool! :) And they'er OK. Quite hard to get mascara off, but aren't harsh on my skin so, they're are ok but I wouldn't 100% recommend them!

Soap & Glory Flake Away. AMAZING!! Its practically an exfoliater, and feels like your rubbing sand on your skin. But my skin is so soft! I use this beauty every other day. It's heaven! It smells gawg too! :)

Last product! Soap & Glory's Hand Food. The perfect hand cream in my opinion :) Its not greasy, and smells sweet, of marshmallows :) It dries in like 0.000001 seconds! Lovagee!

So that's mt little haul. Hope you liked it! :)

Celebrity Lookin' Hot! And...Maybe not! #1

Wehayy! This is 'Celebrity Lookin' Hot! And...Maybe Not!' This is the first edition.

2 Celebritys
1 Looking hot
1 And one....Not!


Simple! Got it? Let's get cracking! This editions contenders are Pixie Lott and Lindsay Lohan, So, which one is lookin' hot? There's only one way to find out...FIIIIGGGHHHHHTTT! No, unfortunately, I'm not Harry hill :( Lol, but yep, juding you've already seen the picture below, Pixie Lott is lookin' hot!




Lookin' Hot:


I adore Pixie's style. She's really out-going with it and it looks cool. This outfit for example, I believe it was for one of those concert things. Totally forgot what there called! :/ Be honest ladies, if you saw those shorts in a shop, you'd turn your nose up at it. But it really looks good on Pixie. The red wellies keep it down to Earth aswell, an extra bonus! :D A plain black vest top and sunglasses keep it very cool. The bracelets keep it busy and her hair. A simple plait. How amaze is that?





Simple, stylish and lovely. A simple dress and sandals make this comfortable and cool. The bag and cardigan compliment the dressm and this floaty number doesn't make Pixie look like she's had a few too many pies ;) Loveagee!!!!




And...Maybe not:



Umm....where do I start? Number 1- Those leggings and legwarmers? Bin pleasee! Just look. I can't describe that! Ehhhhh!! number 2- an outfit more suited for the bedroom I think...How can you walk in public dressed like that?! And that dark-gothic lipstick? No thanks.....


Opinons? Celebritie's you want me to review? Let me know!

NOTW 1: Barry M 305 Pink Flamingo




NOTW = Nails Of The Week :)

I love Barry M nail paints (And I only have 3! LOOL!) They go on easy, and the colours are great. Last Saturday, 6th Feb, I bought number 305, pink Flamingo. And it's really cool!

It looks orange in the picture, but beleive me, it's pink! (Hence the name!!) I guess it sorta changes in the light. I have the worst lighting in my room, and it looks a very pinky pink. When I'm in my bathroom however, it looks a coral, almost orange colour. It's really cool. And looks good no matter what colour it looks!


It costs £2.95 from Superdrug and Boots in the U.K, and is a great price. you get 10ml and it is just great! Give it a try! :)My hand looks dreadful I know : It looks very pink, but as said, it's about the lighting. but trust me, it is Pink Flamingo! That's a real cool name? 'Pink Flamingo' who came up with that? It's awesome! ;D



My hand looks incredibly gay but yeahh : Click the picture for a closer look at the colour! :)
Pink Flamingo lover,
Sarah oxo
