Review: Botanics Microdermabrasion Polish

Hi Guys,

I’m back today with a review of the botanics microdermabrasion polish.

Botanics say: ' this intensive micro-polishing treatment encourages cell renewal for a younger looking, more radiant complexion. Dullness banishing microparticles help to refine pores and improve skin texture, for a salon experience at home'

I have been using this for a couple of months now in order to get a good feel for it. I have to say that i have really enjoyed using this. It has become a firm staple in my weekly pamper night!

It is quite harsh on your skin, but I like that. I like to know that a product is really working. However if you do have really sensitive skin I would maybe say stay away from this.

Because it is quite harsh you skin does benefit from a really hydrating mosturiser afterwards. At the moment I have been using the night cream from the same range which I really like as well.

I do notice a difference once I have used this polish but more in the feel of my skin rather than the look of, maybe thats just me.

Let me know if you have tried this, or what other polishes you reccomend as I am currently on the hunt for my holy grail skin products.

Longleat Safari Park

Hey Guys,

 

Recently me and Stuart travelled all the way down the country for a road trip. On one of the days we went to Longleat Safari Park so I though I would share my pictures with you.

(Be aware this will be a very picture heavy post)

 

 

 

These are just a few of the many photos I took.

Some of them are a bit blury but we obviously weren't allowed the car windows down.

 

If you live near Longleat or are thinking of going I would definitely recommend it. There was loads to do and wasn't all that expensive.

 

Have you ever been? Let me know what you thought of it.

My Nail Polish Storage

Hey guys,

 

So I'm back with you to share my new way I store my nail polish!!

 

 

 

 

Believe it or not this was a handbag from Primark, like three summers ago! I can across it the other day and I thought it would be such a shame to throw it away!

Then the idea struck! Now I am aware that not all my nail varnishes fit and I have still got some stored in my wardrobe but I just love this way to store my favourite and most worn!

When I eventually get a dressing table I think this will look so nice sitting on top!

 

Let me know what you think? How do you store your nail polish and make up?

Most Worn : Autumn Nail Colours

Hi Guys,

 

Today I’m back with my most worn nail colours during the autumn. I generally tend to tone down the colours I wear to go with my wardrobe. I like to wear a lot of nudes with the occasional red or plum thrown in to the mix.

 

 

Buck Naked, Crush, Mocha, FoxGlove, Every Month is Oktoberfest

 

The No7 polish is a lot darker in real life more like a plum, I had to use the flash in order to see the OPI polish a bit better. As you can see I tend to stick to nudes, browns, reds and purples. 

 

My favourite of these is Topshop Buck Naked and Barry M Crush. My most favourite shade would probably cranberry on my nails in the Autumn. I do sometimes like to mix it up and throw a bright pink on there but that's rare.

 

I personally think Matte polishes are going to be a big thing this autumn/winter. They are cropping up everywhere.

 

Let me know what your favourite autumn shades are!

Review: Enrapture Extremely heated rollers

Hey guys,

 

 

Today I’m back with a review of the Enrapture Heated rollers.

You'll have to excuse the paint on the front. Decorating woes!

I absolutely love these rollers. I will hold my hands up, I am rubbish with my hair. I can’t curl it with the straightener's, I can’t use curling wands, I am rubbish.

That was until these bad boys came into my life. These have been the only thing that has worked for me. They give me the volume I want as well as big bouncy curls.

 

Pesky Paint

 

You turn the base on and it takes literally about five minutes to heat the rollers up. The other really good thing about these is the fact that the clips are also heated which means your hair is being heated from all angles.

Because they get so hot you only need to leave the rollers in about 15 minutes, which makes them great for a quick fix before a night out. When I say they get hot I mean it, I've got asbestos fingers so I don't have much trouble but one of my friends burnt her finger on the rollers. I like to put these in before my makeup and leave them in for about an hour to give me the look I like. With the right hairspray the curls will last all night, even with lots of dancing.

 

I would definitely recommend these to anyone who is like me and can’t do anything else with their hair, if a novice like me can do them then anyone can!

 

Let me know if you have these and what you think? Also if you have any tips for curling hair please let me know?

Review: Maybelline Instant Anti-Age Eraser Eye Concealer

Hey Guys,

Today I’m back sharing my opinions on the Maybelline Instant Anti-Age Eraser Eye Concealer (wow that’s a mouthful)

 

I picked this up on a whim in boots when they were having their 3 for 2 promotions. I’ve been using this on and off for a couple of months to try and get a good feel for it.

I must admit I’m still not sure how I feel. When I’m having a good skin day I really like this. It’s brightening and gives a really good coverage.

But when I’m having a bad skin day it can look a little heavy and cakey around the eyes.

Another thing to note with this product is that you always end up with loads coming out. You have to twist the top to make the product come out of the little sponge but it just seems like you end up wasting a lot. I’ve been using this not every day for the last two months and mine has almost ran out.

All in all, I think I will continue to use this until its finished but I don’t think I would re purchase it.

Have you tried this concealer? How did you get on?

Review: Nars Blush in Amour

Hey guys,

Today I am officially popping my Nars cherry and going to review the blush in Amour.

I purchased this from a blog sale. a little while ago. I thought that it would be a good way to try it without paying full price in case I wasn’t keen because, boy are these bad boys pricey.

I really wanted to hate this, I really did! I didn't want to be sucked in to the whole Nars "thing". No such luck! I love it!!

The colour is a beautiful deep pink, which really suits my skin tone. Its very wearable, I can wear it during the day or the night. However if your paler than me though it might be too dark for you.

The pigmentation is amazing, you only need a teeny tiny bit on your brush to give you a really good colour pay off.

The staying power is also really good. I apply my make-up on the morning and my blush is normally still on by the time I get back home on the evening, a good 7.5 hours later!

All in all, I would highly recommend the Nars blushes.  They do come with a hefty price tag but I can imagine them lasting years before you need to re-purchase these so they are probably good value for money.

 

Let me know what you think? Do you own any Nars products? What are your favourite products?
