Barry M Coconut Infusion Nail Paint Review

Hiya!

Finally a post that's not about food! lol! 

I am so excited to share with you Barry M Coconut Infusion Nail Paint! I ordered all 9 colours from Superdrug as they had an offer on where you can purchase the set for £25! These polishes are infused with coconut water and coconut oil which hydrates and nourishes the nails. 

I absolutely love how pigmented they are and that there's a range of colours from nudes to spring/summer shades. They kept to the classic BarryM bottle but changes the lid which is like a shiny bronze; it kind of reminds me of the skin of a coconut.

I tested out surfboard and I wasn't too happy with this formula. The others painted well and was smooth and easy to apply but with this shade I found it very thick; I'm not sure whether it was just the bottle I had so I will purchase this shade to see. I painted 2 coats of this colour and it came out well; the finish result was shiny and smooth but best of all was that it didn't have a strong smell which is what I look for in polishes as Z can't stand the smell.

I wore this for about 3 days before it started chipping but it was only small chips so I just filled in the small chips to make it last a little longer. I'm not 100% that the polish worked but it did something to my nails as my nails have become stronger! Normally by now my nails would chip with my polish but even pressing down on them is tough. I followed the instructions and painted the polish straight on so that the coconut oil and water could start working and maybe it did. I'm not saying it absolutely worked but it did something. 

What colour do you love for spring?

KIKO Milano Haul

Hi!

I went Bluewater the other day in search for a birthday present and saw that KIKO MILANO had a sale! As you know I love my sales but I did go a bit crazy in there but I was upset that they didn't have any face mask instock. 

It was my first time in KIKO and I loved it! I went on a Saturday and it was crazy so I can't comment on the experience of the store but I did ask some staff members on stock and they was happy to help and the girl on the tills was super nice.

BB Glow Compact 04

I love the packaging of this. The separate compartment for the sponge is very convenient and the mirror is big enough to see my whole face. The foundation is creamy but once you place it on it feels very light and it is very matte. I did want shade 2 but they ran out and 4 was a little lighter than I would of liked.

Compact Powder 102 Natural Pink

The powder is extremely light and once place on your face it feels as if it isn't even there. Its very pigmented so you don't need a lot and it does an amazing job of making my face shiny.

Colour Veil Blush 01 Pink

Candy Floss. I don't know why but it smells like candy floss! It has such a nice sweet scent. The powder is light and very pigmented.

Smart Eye Pencil 815 Smoke Grey & 800 Golden Silk

I was really disappointed with 800 Golden Silk because it broke after just using it once! The 815 Smoke Grey looks more like a dark navy then grey once you put it on so I'm not liking it very much especially when I had to keep going back and forth to get the colour.

Double Glam Eyeliner 112

They are very soft and pigmented. I love the colours on this and the way it glides on.

VIVID Colour Lipstick Pencil 09 Ruby Red & 04 Strawberry

 AMAZING! I love how pigmented the lipsticks are and how easy it to apply. It does feel a bit dry after its placed on but the colour stays.

Smart Lip Pencil 701 Pearly Pink Peony & 705 Bright Geranium

Easy to apply and very pigmented but there's a strong wood smell which annoys me because as I'm applying it on my lips.

408 Crystal Sheer Rich Red & 513 Luscious Cream Lipstick   

I absolutely love the packaging as its so shiny and fun. Z loves to 'push the button' to open it. It feels very creamy and silky on the lips but what I love the most is that it smells amazing! 

Perfect Star Gel Duo 

I haven't tried this yet but I love the packaging of this as its so shiny.

I'm excited to try these products and look forward to purchasing more products from KIKO Milano. If you've tried any of the products what would you recommend for my future purchases?

Models Own Diamond Luxe

Hi!

I'm so sorry for the late post but Z got ill and he becomes very clingy! I can't even go to the toilet without him screaming mummy! lol 

anyways..

I recently bought the Models Own Diamond Luxe Set from House of Fraser on offer and I cannot explain how excited I was to try them out!

 Shades of the Diamond Luxe (L-R): Pear Purple NP221, Trillion Taupe NP224, Asscher Blue NP225, Heart Red NP218

As Valentines was just around the corner I thought I'd try out a simple nail design using just Models Own polishes so I used the Diamond Luxe Heart Red NP218 & Pastel Pink NP033.

Valentines Nails 2016

The Diamond Luxe Heart Red was easy to apply and I only needed one coat! The brush was wide so all I needed was 1-2 brush strokes on my nails. I love the sparkle from the polish and the colour! I'm not a big fan of painting my nails on colour so I painted a pink heart and small dots using the Pastel Pink NP033. 

What do you plan for Valentines Day this year?

eBay Haul

Howdy!

I'm so happy today as my online purchases have been arriving since yesterday.

I am currently going through a phase of nail art so I made some cheap purchases through ebay as I feel that there is no point in paying out for expensive versions of my items as I change my nail designs every 3-4 days! lol.

So here it is:

Nail Gems

Every girl needs some sparkle in their life. I paid £1.49 for this set which comes in a clear plastic container and 2 sheets of nail transfers. You can stick them on anything! 

Dotting Pens

My absolute love! These pens are used for nail designs and I only paid £1 for 5 double ended ones. 

I was on Bank website last week and saw that there was an extra 20% off selected sale items and so I found myself purchasing a Pauls Boutique bag for £15! I am very pleased with it as its a good size for someone short like me. lol. I did have to try several times as it kept running out of stock! But now its here its all sm:)es.

I'm so happy with my purchases and the amount of time it took to deliver was very fast but most of all the amount of money I'm saving.

Anywho..

Take Care
xoxo <-- Oh how I miss Gossip Girl :(
