NOTD - Amethyst Glitter

Hi everyone,

Here's a pretty combination of nail varnishes that I was wearing a few days ago :)

 

 I used Rimmel's Pompous to paint all of my nails and then topped my accent nail with Barry M's Amethyst Glitter polish, which is such a stunning polish!

I hope you like this nail of the day, I love the purple and jewel tones :) Especially for autumn. 

Thank you for reading,

Product Review - Barry M Ultra Moisturising Lip Paint in Black Cherry

Hi everyone,

Here's another lip product review! 

I've wanted to pick up one of Barry M's new Ultra Moisturising Lip Paints since I first saw them in the shops a couple of weeks ago. I was drawn in by the cute pink packaging and then when I swatched a couple of them in store I realised that they'd released some gorgeous new berry colours.

I couldn't resist picking up the shade Black Cherry.

What Barry M Say...
"New ultra moisturising lip paint enriched with hydrating and lip nourishing Cocoa Butter for a 
soft and saturated finish."

The formula of this lipstick is lovely, very smooth and quite moisturising. I know that Barry M lip paints have had some mixed reviews but I think this new formula is great.

The colour of this lipstick is beautiful! 

It is quite a bold colour but I think that the picture is making it look a little paler than it actually is. It is definitly a deep vampy colour.

 Regarding application, I found that this could be applied straight from the bullet for a fairly neat finish(If you're careful!), but the finish really does benefit from being applied with a lip brush. In the picture above I also applied some concealer around my lip line to prevent any bleeding/feathering.

Summary

Pros

- Stunning colour for autumn!
 - Fairly moisturising
- Long lasting
- Quite Cheap! Only £4.49!

Cons

-  It wore off a little patchy
- Bit of a pain to re apply. 

Overall I'm very happy with this lipstick, I've already picked up another shade from this range. This shade really is gorgeous for the season and a bit of a bargain! :)

Pamper Me #1

Hi everyone,

I thought I'd start a new little series showing the products I'm using when having a pampering session, The Sunday Girl does this and I just think it's such a lovely idea for a post!

I've been really into pampering sessions recently and have been having one at least once a week. I love to have a nice hot bath, use lots of lovely products, have an aromatic candle burning and watch You Tube videos on my laptop with a drink in my hand. :)

So here are the products I used on Saturday night....

I filled my bath with my favourite bubble bath, Soap & Glory Calm One Calm All Bubble Bath and lit my Yankee Candle in French Vanilla.

I then applied my Soap & Glory Scrub Your Nose In It as a face mask and left it on whilst in the bath. I also tried out my new Champneys Exotic Retreat Body Glow and gave my body a good scrub. This scrub was an absolute bargain for only £1.25 on the Boots clearance shelf!

I felt like pampering my feet a bit and changing my nail polish so I slathered them in Sanctuary Intensive Rescue Heel Balm, which isn't my favourite foot cream but I'm trying to use it up! Then before painting my nails I rubbed No7 Nourishing Nail and Cuticle Cream into my cuticles and then painted my toenails with Essie's Your Hut Or Mine? and then topped it off with Barry M's Rose Quartz glitter top coat.

How often do you pamper youself?

Thanks for reading,

NOTD - Your Hut Or Mine?

Hi everyone,

I just thought I'd share with you my current favourite nail polish, I literally can't get enough of this polish! It's Essie's Your Hut Or Mine?

It's just such a gorgeous colour! It looks a little lighter in the picture than it actually is, it's a warm pinky coral colour with very subtle gold shimmer running through it.

The application of this polish is lovely, very smooth and fairly opaque. I did apply two coats of this though!

The brush is fairly small so it's perfect for applying to the toenails!

This was my first Essie polish and it's also definitely my favourite.

Which is your favourite Essie polish? 

I'd love some suggestions for colours to try. :)

Thanks for reading,

Jess
