Review: Models Own Polish for Tans Collection!

Hello again!

I've recently been enjoying the sunnier weather, and with the sun comes pretty nail colour releases! Whilst browsing through numerous blogs, vlogs and websites I came across the new Models Own Collection, Polish for Tans! And me being me and not having any willpower, the whole collection quickly ended up in my basket..



I thought I would share with you what I thought of the five shades, and can I just say that I'm really not the best at painting my nails, but I tried my hardest! The polishes claim to 'enhance and compliment a natural tan', through the use of pastel and neon tones.

Boots and Superdrug Beauty Haul!

Hello!

I recently decided it was about time I popped into Boots and Superdrug and stocked up on all the makeup and hair products I've had my eye on for the past few weeks! But when I started to look I ended up filling my basket a bit too high, oops!

Review: Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge

Hello!


I am a loyal fan of the Real Techniques Make Up brushes, I've watched the Pixiwoo YouTube Channel since forever, and the brushes are such an amazing quality at a brilliant price. I can proudly announce I own every single one!

But, one thing I didn't own was the Miracle Complexion Sponge, and after discussing it with Jemma (ohsojem.blogspot.co.uk), I received for my birthday last week from her and Sarah! I was over the moon, and I've been waiting to share with you how I found using it.

Boohoo Sale // OOTD

Hello,
 
It's that sale time of the year! And who can resist a sale?!
 
I've had my eye on these Topshop boots for what seems like forever, but it seems they're just not coming back into stock in a size 6, so I decided to have a look elsewhere instead.
Then, whilst browsing through Boohoo I found they had a pair similar (below), reduced in the sale for £22! Well, it would be rude not to wouldn't it?

What's In My Makeup Bag

Hello!

As I'm just starting up I thought it would be a good idea to do a 'What's In My Makeup Bag' this month post, so you can all see the basic products I like to use on a daily basis. I tend to be quite an impulse buyer and try out new things, but I have my staples which time and time again I come back to!

Review: Foundation

Welcome everyone!

I'm new to this blogging life, but I've been wanting to start one for ages and I've finally given in and done it! I spend far too much of my money on trying new products, so I may as well give myself an excuse to ;)

I wasn't sure how to start this, but I thought I would start straight in and since I've bought a few new foundations recently it seemed fitting.

My skin tone is quite olive based, so I normally have to go for the medium shades. I haven't got particularly bad skin, but it tends to have days where it doesn't want to cooperate with me, so I chose to buy a selection of different foundations with different coverage levels.
