Tanya Burr Penguin Chic - NOTD #13

Hello everyone! Today I'm back with another NOTD, which is personally one of my favourite posts to write. I'm especially excited about this one as it is a nail polish from Tayna Burr, who if you don't know (and if you don't, where have you been?!), she has her own blog and YouTube channel and has brought out her own line of nail polishes and lip glosses! I think she brought out her collection in January, however I only got my hands on a lipgloss and nail polish recently as they were stocked in a Superdrug near me. I decided to go for grey purely because I didn't have a grey in my collection (well, I thought I didn't, turns out I already had!) I should probably say, it's called Penguin Chic, which is the cutest name known to man!

It's a lovely medium grey colour, the word that's coming to me is a deep grey, if that makes sense? I never thought I'd like wearing grey nail polish but I honestly really do love it, it's very classy and recently I've been all about monochrome so my nails and outfit have been matching! I applied 2-3 coats until it was fully opaque, it dried pretty fast, it wasn't a minute or anything but it also wasn't 10 minutes which just infuriates me - I have zero patience! It's also super glossy, which is always a bonus for me. 

It's staying power was.. I don't actually know how to describe it! For me, it lasted 3-4 days before chipping a little on most nails, which I suppose is average and to be honest I don't mind going over the chips or anything, it wasn't anything major. However, I do have nail polishes from the likes of Topshop, which is the same price of £5, and also Essie and OPI that last longer. Saying that, £5 is a good price for this nail polish! It's affordable for everyone and isn't overly expensive.

Also, I should mention she has 10 nail polishes in her range, going from mint green to black with pink sparkles! All of them are £5 and she also has 12 lip glosses at £7, so again, very affordable.

Overall, I do like this nail polish and wearing this has really converted me to trying more classic, nude colours. It looks lovely and glossy on the nails and lasts for a reasonable time with no major chips - what more could you ask for?

These are available on Feel Unique and Superdrug! Have you tried any of these nail polishes yet, and if so, what do you think?

Have a lovely day, and don't stop smiling. :)

TKMaxx Mini Haul - Maybelline, Bourjois & Revlon!

Hello everyone! Today I thought I'd talk about some products I got at TKMaxx the other week - who knew they did cheap make-up?! Not me! So there I was, just having a nosy at the clutch bags when I spotted a little stand with elf, OPI, Nails Inc and more on it! AND at a discounted price! I mean, I couldn't not get myself something, let's be real. I also got my friends some make-up for their birthdays so technically I didn't just get stuff for myself.. So it's fine. It's fine. Kinda.

Maybelline Great Lash Mascara - £2.99

So I spotted this bad boy for £2.99 - can we just talk about how much of a bargain this is?! I literally know nothing about this mascara, I haven't read a single review on it and I've not even opened it as I'm saving it to try once my other mascara has went dry. To be honest, for just under £3 I don't care if it'll be bad as I just bought it on a whim. Have you tried it, and if so, what did you think? I'd love to know!

Revlon Cream Blush in 09 Rosy Glow - RRP £7.99, TKMaxx £3.99

Again, I spotted this bargain and thought it looked perfect for me. I'm not really a huge fan on blush, I don't even know how to properly apply it and to be honest, it kinda freaks me out - I have very chubby cheeks and I just have this image that blush will just make them look bigger than they already are (or something like that). However, recently I have decided to give blush a go and see if I like it or not and I thought this was a very natural colour. I've never tried a cream blush before so I don't know how to use it, I'm sure a YouTube tutorial will teach me though! Also, I love that it has a little mirror - super handy for on the go!

Bourjois Jet Set Red Lip & Nail Duo - RRP £18, TKMaxx £9.99

Now THIS was something that caught my eye immediately. I also got this for a friend as I think she will love it, red lips and nails are a common love we share. I've wanted to try out some Bourjois products for a while and when I saw that I was basically getting a nail polish free with this lipstick, I was sold! The nail polish is one of their So Laque! and is called Rouge Escarpin 24 and the Lipstick is one of the Rouge Edition lipsticks in 13 Rouge Jet Set. Red lips and nails are just my default when I'm unsure on what to put on (either lips or nails) so this is perfect! I've used the lipstick once and so far I'm really liking it - it's glossy, easy to apply and very red. I'll keep using it and I'm excited to try the nail polish so I'll let you know how I get on with it soon!

Revlon Blush in 09 Rosy Glow | Bourjois Rouge Edition lipstick in 13 Rouge Jet Set

So that's about it for this post, hope you enjoyed ANOTHER haul - I promise that's the last haul for a while, I'm putting myself on a spending ban of make-up and stuff in general UNLESS I genuinely do need it (so if I run out of dry shampoo or something, I mean that is a life time essential product). Have you tried any of these products, did you like them? Let me know!

Have a lovely day, and don't stop smiling. :)

Barry M Gelly Nail Polish in Blue Grape - NOTD #12

Hello everyone! Today I'm back with a NOTD and it's a nail polish that I've wanted to try for a long time - the Barry M Gelly range! Out of the many colours, I chose Blue Grape as I don't have a colour like this in my collection, however there are so many pretty colours to choose from.

The whole point of this formula is it is meant to be "gel-like", very pigmented and super shiny and glossy, which I must admit it is. For me, it was nearly opaque in one coat but I decided to go for two, which is impressive considering that for some Topshop nail polishes, you have to do at least 3 coats for it to be opaque.

When on, the polish and colour is extremely vibrant and super glossy, which for me is a bonus as I love shiny nails. However, I was really let down with the lasting power of this polish. It says that it is a "chip resistant formula" however for me that just wasn't the case. I don't know if I got a dodgy one or if my base/top coat don't go well with this polish (let me know what one you use!), but it just didn't last on me at all. I've seen so many reviews of this polish (not this exact one, just the Gelly range in general) saying how well it lasted and how it lasted for a week without chips.

For me, that was not the case. Not even a day after applying this nail polish I had chips on 3 of my fingers, and not just tiny chips, I mean big chunks had came off. So, I reapplied as I just thought maybe I had applied it wrong or something.. But the next day, honestly, nearly all of my nails had big chips in them and I didn't even do a lot and had just applied it as normal, so I ended up just taking it off after 3 days of wearing it. I'm really disappointed with the lasting power but again, I am really unsure why on me it didn't last but on so many other people it did, as I have genuinely seen dozens of brilliant reviews over them and their lasting power. 

Saying that, the shade range is brilliant, there are so many colours to choose from and it really is opaque in one coat (almost for me, but it was close) and it is so shiny, just for me it didn't last long. I will try again though, it could have been a fluke!

So, that's about it for this post, thank you for reading. What are your views on the Gelly range, have you tried it, and what did you think of it if you did?

Have a lovely day, and don't stop smiling. :)

Topshop Green Room - NOTD #11

Hello everyone! I'm back with an exciting post that I always love to write - a nail of the daaaaaaay! Today we have a Topshop beaut, Green Room! I completely forgot I bought this nail polish about a month or two ago and when I was looking through what nail polishes I wanted to wear next, this one stood out by far.

However, my boyfriend and I kinda have a tradition where he picks my nail polish whenever he was round, so when he came over I asked him what I should put on. At first he said a dark purple, which I shot down immediately as, you know, I want a bright summery colour! He then picked the one polish I don't like in my collection which is a weird orange colour, and then he finally picked this - thank god!

I have spoke a few times (I think) before about the Topshop nail polishes but I honestly just cannot rave about them enough, I really do like them. Their colour selection is literally unreal, you can get any colour/shade you want, and for £5, it's fantastic! 

When I saw this colour in the shop I was just like you will be mine, now. I've never seen a polish this colour before and it's just lovely, I'd describe it as a very bright teal. It was opaque with three coats, which isn't the best but for the colour it was worth it. It took the average amount of time to dry, nothing super speedy, I'm just extremely impatient so any waiting time is an eternity for me. 

Once dried, it is super shiny and with a top coat on it is so glossy, I'm all about the glossy shiny nails so this really ticks that box for me. I only had it on for I think 3 days but it was nearly perfect, it had a couple of small chips but I have been ice skating, going to the gym and I went out last night so I'm not surprised it's not exactly in a pristine condition but it was good enough for me!

Overall, I really love the Topshop range and I can tell this is going to be a well loved polish in my little collection! Unfortunately they don't have this exact nail polish on their website but you can click here to see the other 95 that they have on there!

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed reading this :) Have you tried any of the Topshop nail polishes, and if so, what's your favourite?

Have a lovely day, and don't stop smiling. :)

OPI Unfor-great-bly Blue and L'Oreal Bling Bling Bang - NOTD #8

Hello everyone! Today I'm back with another NOTD post, again, going for a more sparkly look. I'm all about the sparkles recently!

OPI Unfor-greta-bly Blue is from The Germany Collection, which was released last year at this time. The shades released were all inspired by Berlin, and the colours on the catwalk that year, which clearly still are in fashion this year as when is navy not ever in fashion?!

Taken on iPhone 5

Taken on my camera (crappy lighting, sorry!)

Unfor-greta-bly Blue is a shimmer lacquer meaning it is enriched with a soft undertone of sparkly gold or silver, in this case silver, however I can't really noticed it, it's only when you really shine it in the light and look at it with a microscope that you can see it.

However, saying that, it's a lovely navy blue and it's opaque in one coat, however I always put two coats on with any polish, no matter what. The only thing I have to complain about is it doesn't stay perfect for that long, I don't know if it's the glitter top coat but a few of my nails chipped after 2 days which I was a bit disappointed with, however I genuinely don't know if it was this polish or the glitter top coat as I've wore this before and it's been fine.. If you don't mind just repainting the edges though, I highly recommend it.

Taken on my camera

L'oreal Bling Bling Bang is part of their Color Riche Carat Collection where they released 4 nail polishes which are 3D glitter and have a matte textured effect - I didn't actually realise this was meant to be matte until I read that two seconds ago and put a glossy top coat over it.. Oops.

Anyway, I saw this in Boots and I had to have it, it looked so pretty and I knew I would pair it with a navy nail for perfect navy sparkly nails. It looks gorgeous on and depending on what light you are in (I deliberately took the above two pictures in different lighting) depends on the colour it comes across as, as in one light it's navy blue and the other it's purple - it's such a cool effect.

Overall, I am happy with this combination, however I'm not as happy as I thought I would be. The fact it chipped so soon I was quite disappointed with and it's ready to peel off now basically after 4 days. Blah. However the fact that it's really pretty is keeping me positive. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed reading this, what's your favourite navy nail polish?

Have a lovely day, and don't stop smiling. :)

Collective Boots Haul - Simple, Soap & Glory, Models Own and L'Oreal

Hello everyone! Today I'm here to show you some products I've picked up over the last month or so from Boots as they were all on offer (score!) Just so you know, these aren't reviews of the products, I'm just showing you what I got and why I got them as I want to do separate reviews of each product and they will probably be up within the month so look out for them!

First of all all comestics were buy one get one half price in Boots (think this is still going on here) so obviously whilst looking through the make-up stands I spot this little L'Oreal number, which is 404 Scarlet Vamp! I've been looking for a nice deep burgandy shade ever since I reviewed this Topshop one which I wasn't too pleased with, and after searching through all of the nail polish in every brand I thought this one looked the nicest so I got it! I've also been looking for a gold top coat/a sparkly gold in general and I just thought this Models Own polish called Catherine Wheel was so unique - the almost confetti style gold glitter with multi-coloured specs throughout it, mainly red.. I just thought over the L'Oreal polish it would look so gorgeous!

Next I went into the skincare section for a nosey and soon saw that Simple had a 3 for 2 offer on, so how could I leave without taking up the offer?! I actually repurchased two items here - the Kind to Skin Cleansing Facial Wipes (great for just quickly taking make-up off on the go (I mainly use these on the bus after Uni) or if you are in a rush, however I still recommend you cleanse too!!) and the Kind to Skin Refreshing Facial Gel Wash, which is just amazing and there will be a review of this within the month! Such a great product.

So this leaves me with the final product that I haven't tried before, the Kind to Skin Deep Cleansing Face Mask. I haven't read one review or anything about this, I just bought it on a whim as my exfoliator is running out and I needed a new one.. Actually I hope this is an exfoliator.. Surely it must be if it's deep cleansing right? Anyway, it looks good and Simple is a good skincare brand (minus their Toner, I hated it!) so I'll try this out soon and do a review. 

Finally, last but not least, there was a 3 for 2 on travel miniatures.. Oh dear. Now, I've read so many reviews on all three of these products and I've been at the Soap and Glory bit in Boots so many times just standing there smelling all the products seeing which one's I liked the look of best and I narrowed it down to these three (Hand Food, The Righteous Butter and Flake Away), however I was just not willing to pay so much money for products that I don't know will work for me, however they were still on my "to buy" list..

So naturally, when I see they have minis of them and they are on offer, I just grabbed them without hesitation. Now, even though I've read countless reviews of them, I actually have no idea how to apply/use them, so if you know how to then could you please let me know? I'm a bit clueless here for someone who has done research (how ironic!) I will also be doing a review of these once I have tried them out for a while.

So that's about it for this haul! I hope you enjoyed reading this, have you bought anything you've been wanting to try for ages recently?

Have a lovely day, and don't stop smiling. :)

OPI Chic From Ears to Tail & Minnie Style - NOTD #7

Hello everyone! Back with my weekly nail post, no idea why I call it NOTD (Nail of the Day) as it is a weekly thing.. But lets just roll with it! Now I know what you are thinking.. It's September and you have bubblegum pink nail polish on, what?! I know.. But I wanted to bring it out one last time before Autumn truly sets in.. Anyway today we are here to look at OPI's Chic From Ears to Tail & Minnie Style.

Both of these are from the Couture de Minnie collection (surprise surprise) that was released this Summer. I actually got 3 out of the 4 limited edition shades and the new Liquid Sand shade, as it was part of a set my Dad got me at the airport as a present (he knows me well!) Last year OPI created a Vintage Minnie Mouse line, so this year OPI wanted to go for the more "fashion-forward" side of Minnie and go for brighter, more intense girly colours - so this collection was born.

“This year, OPI is exploring a different side of Minnie Mouse. The Couture de Minnie collection draws inspiration from Minnie’s iconic style and incorporates trends most recently seen on the runways, from standout shades to fun textural elements.”

Chic From Ears to Tail is the bubblegum pink shade which is a crème lacquer, meaning the formulation is to give opaque, solid colour easily. Minnie Style is the red and white podka dot glitter shade, which I personally loved the minute I saw it in the set!

As per usual I absolutely love both polishes and even though they are not season appropriate, I still love them both so much! They both applied easily, each coat dried within minutes and with 2 coats I had full opacity! Also, with Minnie Style, it acts as a really good top coat as well as it is a thick clear nail polish with glitter particles throughout it.

The only things I have to comment is with Chic From Ears to Tail, the colour looks a lot brighter on the nails than in the bottle, in the bottle it looks like a muted, dull pink but on the nails it is a bright bubblegum colour - not a bad thing, I was just surprised! Also, I had to apply 2 coats of Minnie Style which I did not expect as even though there are about 2 billion glitter particles in the bottle, about 5 are on the brush so you really need to scoop them up to get some on the brush, which isn't a bad thing really - means a better top coat!

I as per usual, love these polishes. OPI has not failed me yet with their formulation, their lasting power, their colour range.. Overall yet again, I am seriously impressed and will slowly keep expanding my collection, even though it breaks the bank. UK peeps, you can buy these here and as for anyone outside the UK, google is your friend, use it wisely!

That's about it for this post, thank you for reading. Have you tried any OPI nail polishes? Please let me know what your favourite shade is!

Have a lovely day and don't stop smiling. :)

Topshop Gypsy Night - NOTD #4

Hello everyone! Today we are here to talk about this little beauty that I picked up a month ago on a total whim, Gypsy Night by Topshop.

Picture taken on my iPhone 5.

I had never seen this nail polish before and I just spotted it at the corner of my eye, looked at it properly and went yes please *snatch*! What attracted me to this nail polish is how sparkly it is (I'm a total sucker for sparkles) and also how it was a black sparkly nail polish as I never see them! Not only is it just plain black but it has strong undertones of gold, and the sparkles are multi-coloured.. So basically I was sold just by the colour in the bottle. 

The packaging is the standard glass bottle with a cute white handle with black dots with the glass clear bottom - I personally love it!

At first when I applied this it was sheer, which I've found with a lot of Topshop's nail polishes but once you put 3 coats on you get to full opacity and let me tell you that this photo does not do this nail polish justice because it is truly beautiful on the nails. The colour is even more stunning out the bottle and I got so many compliments when wearing this! I was majorly impressed with how this nail polish looked as whenever the light hits it it sparkles like there is no tomorrow, and also how long lasting it is - 5 days without a single chip! Yes, that is with a top coat on, but for £6 that is so good! It probably could have went longer if I hadn't taken it off.

Overall I am extremely impressed with this nail polish and overall with the Topshop line, I have 5 or 6 nail polishes from Topshop and they have all pretty much impressed me so far. Gypsy Night is a definite thumbs up from me and I will be wearing this so much over winter. Also, if you are interested in buying it you can get it here.

So that's about it for this blog post, hope you have enjoyed reading. If you have any suggestions of what you want to see on my blog please let me know, and let me know if you have tried any Topshop nail polishes, and if so, what's your favourite?

Hope you have a lovely day and don't stop smiling :)

OPI Tomorrow Never Dies - NOTD #3

Hello everyone! Today I'm here to tell you about this lovely nail polish I picked up in New York which I've been wanting for a while, which is OPI Tomorrow Never Dies. Tomorrow Never Dies is from OPI's Skyfall James Bond Collection, which is a gorgeous collection with a huge variety of colours which you can see here.

Picture taken on iPhone 5

I'd seen this polish online before and I automatically fell in love, so when I got my chance to buy it I practically rugby tackled anyone in my way. I was drawn to this polish just from the colour, it's a bright intense purpley/blue depending how the light hits it. When I applied it, I was immediately impressed. I only had to apply two coats to get to full opacity and the colour is so bright, the pictures do not do this colour justice! I was also really impressed at how shiny and reflective this nail polish is without a top coat, it almost looks metallic! (however I always put a top coat on to prevent chipping.)

So far I have had this nail polish on for 3 days and I haven't had one chip, which has made me a very happy girl. Overall I'm very impressed with this colour and in general OPI nail polishes, so you'll be seeing a lot of them in my NOTD posts.

Picture taken on iPhone 5

Also, if people in the UK are looking to buy this nail polish, because I know how hard it is to find OPI in the UK (which sucks), this is actually on sale here, down from £11 (usual price for UK peeps) to £6.50 (WHAT A BARGAIN!) so if you want to get your hands on this then there is the place! I've also found the John Lewis, very.com, nailpolishdirect.co.uk and more sell it for UK peeps just from googling "opi nail polish uk" so if you are looking to buy OPI nail polish in general I'd google it and there are plenty of places online, just none in stores anywhere (at least for me..) As for the US, I think you can pretty much get them anywhere and as for anywhere else, I'm afraid I don't know but google solves everything!

Anyway that's about it for today's post. I hope you enjoyed reading this and if you can find OPI nail polishes anywhere online that ships to the UK please let me know! Also, what OPI nail polishes have you tried, and do you like them?

I hope you are having a lovely day and don't stop smiling. :)

NOTD #2 - Galaxies and Carnivals Galore!

Hello everyone! Thought I would do a NOTD as I absolutely love my nail combination, which consists of two nail polishes from Urban Outfitters (Galaxy and Carnival) that cost £6 each or 3 for £15, and I obviously got 3 as I am a sucker for deals!  :)

This first nail polish is Galaxy, which is a gorgeous dark purple and when the light hits it, it shimmers gold. The purple and gold compliment each other beautifully and it's overall the perfect representation of what a galaxy should look like!

Galaxy is a sheer nail polish so you will need several coats, I had 3 on my nails in this picture. You will also need a base and top coat, as this gives ultimate shine and keeps the nail varnish on that extra bit longer; however, this does chip easily, as in a couple of days, which is a disadvantage.. But the colour is just so unique that I don't even mind.

This sparkly nail polish is Carnival, which I think is a top coat, however I just used it on it's own! It has chucks of blue and pink glitter throughout it and comes out on the nails thick and not sheer at all, for a change with these types of nail polishes!

You only need two coats of this nail varnish, well, that's what I used anyway. It still chips but not as fast as Galaxy, however it is a pain and a half to get off; you have to scrub your nails to death! However, again, the colour payoff is just too good to resist, and together I think both these nail polishes compliment each other wonderfully, as seen in the pictures below.

So as you can see I put Carnival on two nails and Galaxy on three, as Carnival is extremely glittery/sparkly whereas Galaxy is still shimmery, but isn't as "in your face" as Carnival, so it balances it out.

Overall, these nail polishes are good, but I wouldn't say that they were drop dead amazing. The colours in Urban Outfitter's range are all so unique and there aren't many colours like them on the market right now, especially for such an affordable price of £6. The quality.. is okay. I feel Carnival has better staying-on-the-nails power than Galaxy, just because it's a glitter nail varnish, but the fact that they both do chip easily disappointed me a bit. Galaxy is sheer, so if you don't like nail polishes that you have to work with a bit, this isn't for you. Carnival is better, as you only need 2 coats at most, most likely, again, because it is a glittery nail polish.

However, don't let me put you off! I still do like them and am considering going back into Urban Outfitters to see the other nail polishes/order some online as the 3 for £15 is a good deal. The link to find their nail polish collection is here (sorry, the nail polish is mixed in with all the other accessories also!)

I hope you are all having a wonderful day, and I will talk to you very soon. :)

Collective Haul - Reviews and Swatches!

Guess who got sucked into various offers, for example 3 for 2 on Maybelline?! Oh wait, that was me.. I am such a sucker for good offers! Anyway, the past week I have been shopping a lot, both with my family and on my own, and I have been picking up a lot of make-up for me recently, I feel I have turned a new leaf and am now starting to experiment and step into the make-up world, finally!

The first thing(s) I should mention.. Aren't exactly make-up, but they are nail polishes;

Left; Chica Boom Boom (H&M) (£3)
Centre; Dazzle (Crackle Nails - Tophop) (£5)
Right; Parma Violet (Topshop) (£5)

Chica Boom Boom is actually a bright neon orange, my camera is not giving the colour justice. I've wanted a bright orange nail polish for what seems like a very long time, I don't actually have an orange nail polish at all, and since it's summer I thought why not? I also got a bit of a tan this year (this is surprising yes, I hardly ever get a tan, I am horribly pale) so I feel like the bright neon orange won't look as drastic against my skin.

Dazzle is not actually for me, it is for my friend Leanne, as it is her 18th next week (I know she won't see this so it's fine) and since her favourite colours seem to be purple and gold, when I saw this in Topshop it was like a blessing! It's the most beautiful dark purple, but not super dark, just.. Oh you can see it in the picture! Anyway, it has gold glitter through the purple, which I'm sure she will love!

Parma Violet is again a nail polish for me, and again, I have wanted a violet nail varnish for SO LONG! All the purple nail polishes I have are either super dark or kind of.. Medium tone? Does that even make sense? Probably not.. But when I saw this colour I knew I had to buy it, it just looks the most gorgeous pastel light violet colour I've seen (that was A LOT of words to describe a colour) and it had to be mine. Onto make-up now..

Smokey Eye Palette from Topshop - Tawny. (£12)

I love the fact it comes with a little "how to" booklet; for people who are inexperienced with make-up, it really does help them out. Good job Topshop!

From right to left: The first colour is a pink, champagne colour, it is very shimmery and I would use this as an everyday colour, just to sweep it all over the lid and give my eyes a base/some shimmer. The second colour is a shimmery bronze, which is my personal favourite out of the 4. It looks SO NICE on the lid, you can use this to line your upper lash line and also take it down to the lower lashline and I think it would compliment everyone. The third colour is again a lovely eyeshadow, I love how it is brown but it has gold shimmer throughout it, it looks lovely through the crease and gives your eyes definition. The final dark shimmery brown really makes the eyes smokey, as using this in the outer corner and blending will really make you look sex-aaaay!

So, as you can probably tell.. I got some eyeshadow from Topshop! I got the Smokey Eye Palette in Tawny, and there was another one but it was darker and more grey/purple toned, I'm sure that was called Smouldering. The shadows are quite shimmery which I like, and they all compliment each other beautifully; the reason I got Tawny was because the bronzy colours look nicer to me, and I think they actually will look nicer on me, I feel because I'm pale it will work better? Correct me if I am wrong though! But yes, I love the colours, especially the bronze colour, (the one on my middle finger in the photo.)

Maybelline Colour Tattoo 24hr - 05 Enternal Gold. (£4.99)

Also, congrats to Maybelline on the packaging - I love it! It's so sturdy and looks so fancy and elegant, I love the little glass pot loads!

I saw this yesterday in Superdrug (when I got sucked in with the 3 for 2 offer), and there was only one or two left, and I knew I had to get it; it is the most shimmery, creamy eyeshadow I have ever put on my eyelid (now, I haven't put a lot on so I think this is good, however, other people may think differently). I really do love this colour, I think with a liquid black liner (coming up soon!) and red lips, it will look perfect, it's an easy everyday eyeshadow that you can just whack on, but at the same time you can dress it up too.

Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Eyeliner - Black. (£5.99)

I can see why Maybelline called it "Master Precise", with this bad boy of a felt tip, even the shakiest of hands could manage a straight line

What really drew me to this product was, not only did I really need to buy a liquid liner, but the fact that it was a felt tip liner, making it a billion times easier to put on. I even tried it out last night to see if it really did make a difference, and holy moly, my liner was close to perfect first time! I was so impressed with this product, application is easy, and the blackness of the liner is pretty good also, hopefully it doesn't dry up quick or anything, but so far, fingers crossed!

Topshop Kohl Eyeliner - Saddle. (£4)

Ever since watching the beauty girls and guys on YouTube I have desperately wanted a brown eyeliner for so long! Whenever they use one I always think "Holy moly, black eyeliner is so harsh compared to the subtleness of a brown eyeliner, why do I not have one?!" and whilst I was in Topshop a couple of days ago, I saw a brown eyeliner and thought why not? I may as well give it a go! And I LOVE it! It is very build-able, it starts off very subtle, so it would be nice on the waterline but on the top lashes you can build it up so it is an obvious brown line, but still subtle compared to a black eyeliner I think!

Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick - 422 Coral Tonic. (£7.19)

Again, I loooove the packaging! It is such a classy lipstick, with the shiny see-through red lid and the simple but elegant silver packaging, it makes it look like it's worth more than you paid for - a good quality to have!

The last (but certainly not least) make-up shopping splurge was to this gorgeous coral lipstick by Maybelline. I had been looking for a coral lipstick for a while, as I only have a red lipstick and I was kind of getting bored of wearing the same lipstick over and over again, and although there probably isn't as much difference between the lipsticks as I had originally wanted there to be, it is less bold than the red one and it makes a change, which I like. It is again, build-able, you can put it on lightly but you can certainly build it up to make it as bold as any red lipstick would be.

I also then bought a pair of jeans and a t-shirt from Topshop;

Topshop's Moustache Tee by Tee and Cake - £20

So cute! Aaaaah!

Love the "wrapped up" detail at the sleeves, it just makes the t-shirt for me.

I have been obsessed with moustaches and anything moustachical recently, from necklaces to now a t-shirt! I was actually leaving Topshop after buying the jeans below and continued shopping, but I had to go back and buy it, I couldn't resist! It is such a cute top and you can pair it with anything, from jeans and a blazer (to spruce things up) or wear it casual with a skirt.

Topshop MOTO Super Soft Skinny Leigh Jeans in Indigo - £38

One of the reasons I fell in love with these jeans is this ankle detail, I love this look right now and have been doing this to jeans which don't already have this detail, I think it just instantly changes the style of your outfit and makes it a bit more classy.

Finally.. The jeans! I absolutely adore these jeans and I am so glad I bought them, as you can tell by the title they are seriously SO super soft, which I love. I have been obsessed with jeggings for the past year and have been wearing the same 3 pairs constantly, and they have done their time; one has two holes near the crotch and I cannot let them go! I really wanted a new pair of jeans, but jeans for me are usually not as comfy and they don't stretch as easily as jeggings, but these jeans proved me wrong! They are easy to put on, extremely comfortable, go with anything and everything and are so soft, it's like I am wearing jeggings - good buy!

So after that super long blogpost, I am done! This is everything I bought over the past week, I love it all and I hope you enjoyed reading this (sorry if it was a bit longwinded) but yeah. Have a lovely day and I will talk to you very soon. :)
