Pretty bargain polish!

Well I bought this item about an hour ago and I feel it was such a good bargain I had to blog about it. I have been looking for a matt pastel lilac nail varnish for a while now. When grabbing my last few bits in Asda this evening I had a quick look at the nail varnishes and then this little beauty caught my eye. It's by George which is Asda's own brand. The official name is 34 Be mine. I'm not a snob by any means but this item was £1. So straight away I thought shame, the colour is amazing but the nail polish will be rubbish. So I walked off thinking I would have a look in the airport. By the time i got to the till I couldn't stop thinking how great the colour was so I convinced myself for £1 what did I have to lose. Well it was so easy to apply and is just as gorgeous of a colour on my nails! I've applied two coats with Sally Hansens megashine as my topcoat! I'm not saying I'm going to convert from my Essie and OPI but it's nice to have a cheap alternative even if it only lasts a few days, what more can you ask for for £1. I'm waiting for there to be a catch and it to be all chipped off in the morning but we will have to just wait and see.......update coming soon!

July lust list.....

So here goes my list of fabulous items that I cannot wait to get my hands on this month! Some I may succeed and purchase, others may continue on to next month!

Bobbi brown gel eyeliner (midnight black) - so currently I use liquid eyeliner as gel eyeliners have always scared me a little as to whether I could get the technique right. However, after watching numerous YouTube videos of people applying the gel and prefering the gel 'look' I've decided to take the plunge! Also I've heard good things about the Bobbi Brown gel eyeliners.

Lush Rehab shampoo - So this shampoo is designed for hair that has been 'abused' and needs extra TLC. Well my hair definitely fits into that catogorie as I colour my hair and straigten/curl lots! With a holiday approaching with lots of sun and chlorine, I definitely need to provide my hair with extra TLC. A friend of mine recommended this shampoo. I am desperate to find an amazing shampoo!

Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser - with summer actually starting to feel warm and festivals and holidays aproaching I feel it's time to purchase a decent tinted moisturiser that will be perfect for these times. I have done my research and this one has fabulous reviews.

Chanel hydramax + active gel cream - see my whole blogpost below regarding this item......need I say anymore.

Topshop lipstick (On the town) - this is a gorgeous Lilac/pink colour like no other in my collection. Ive been thinking about purchasing this for a while. I like the creamy texture and packaging of the Topshop lipsticks.

Liz Earle cleanse and polish - so I've been using Elemis peachy perfect face cleanser for a while now ( I will do a full review soon). I've loved using peachy perfect but with so many beauty gurus and friends raving about cleanse and polish, I feel I'm missing out on something!

Essie nail polish - I can't choose an exact colour I'm lusting over! I like so many.... But i am hoping to expand my Essie nail varnish collection, as I find they are just an all round good product. Easy to apply, good staying power and an amazing collection of colours.

If anyone has any of these products id love to know how your finding them! Also any other items I should be lusting after, I'm always keen to try new products!

Pretty polish!

So I've become a little obsessed with nail polish! Here is Status symbol by Essie. It is a gorgeous girl pink and I think it is now one of my favourite pinks! It's lovely to apply, however you do need a few coats to try to get a full coverage of your own nail (if that makes sense). I wonder if anyone could let me know if there is a trick? Some people wear light colour nail polish and can cover the white tips of own nail completely? I've applied Sally Hansen megashine as my topcoat! I will update this post with the staying power as I've only applied today!
