February Favourites | Nail Polish

I absolutely love nail polishes and nail art, so i thought i would show you a few of my favourites. Well, when i say favourites, i could only dwindle the pick down to about ten of my favourites though, because i just have so many. 

I'll start with my latest purchase, a Kelly Brook range, which i haven't seen around much before. These little beauties are only £2.99 each and come in so many different pretty colours. The polka dots are so cute too. These colours would be so cute in the summer too! I have found though that you do need to apply a few coats of polish for it to properly show up. 

Colours from left to right: Mint, Nautilus and Blue Winter Rose.

The rest of my favourites are all from a website called Cosmetics Fairy, which sell popular brands of nail polish at ridiculously cheap prices, and i can never deny a bargain. You can search through their stock here. So lets begin with them:

I hadn't heard of the brand Constance Carroll- Diamond Gloss, so i can't say whether or not it is a popular brand. But the two colours i bought for 49p each were such a bargain, i couldn't refuse! They are really highly pigmented too, and do not need more than two thin coats to look good

Colours from left to right: 354 Neon Yellow and 351 Neon Green.

These little gems were also just 49p each, another bargain! I thought these colours were super cute and i can never have enough shades of purple and blue. I love the shape of the brushes too, they're very long and flat as they're meant to cover your whole nail in one sweep. I use these colours a lot, especially the purple one.

Colours from left to right: 840 Blue Eyed Girl, 294 Pink of Me and 312 Ultra Violet

I also picked up some darker colours from the Sinful Colors collection. I brought my little bundle just before christmas, so these two beauties were perfect for christmas nail designs. They have a lovely shine to them too, and at just 49p each again, i couldn't resist!

Colours from left to right: 957 Cross My Heart and 1105 Exotic Green.

And lastly, i topped up on my white nail polish, since i use it so much to do different types of nail art. Although i must admit, i don't think i will be buying these again since they are very thin and watery. It takes around 3-4 coats of polish for the white to fully hide natural nail colours. Plus, once it has been coated so much, it starts to become tacky looking. So i mainly use this for nail art, rather than painting my nails wholly. P.s. These were both 49p each.

I'm sure you can now see why i spend so much time on Cosmetics Fairy, for the amount of bargains you can get on their website. I really do recommend you check them out if you are looking at bargain polishes, or make-up for that matter. I hope you liked my little beauty share. Let me know if you would like to see some of my designs! xo

What's In My Bag | Make-up Edition

 Whats in my Make-up bag?!

So i thought i would show you all what is in my make-up bag. Though i should mention that i no way at all think that i am a beauty guru, nor will i ever will be- i care way too little about wearing make-up. That being said, i do have quite a few products in my little bag. So lets begin! 

I feel like i should mention beforehand that i have extremely pale skin, so when you see my foundation, you needn't freak out, because i really am that white- this means i always have blue veins showing under my eyes (i used to think it was from lack of sleep, but apparently it's a common condition for pale people). This leads me nicely to my first concealer. My Natural Collection stick in, you gets it 'Very Fair'. This goes on first to set my under eye base. 

Next is my liquid concealer, in 'Very Fair'. My favorite liquid concealer is the Collection 2000, but since i've nearly ran out, and i'm far too lazy to spend time scraping around the tub, i picked up the Seventeen version. I am yet to try it, and may possibly give a review later on. I only tend to use any concealer under my eyes, as i'm one of the lucky people that do not get many break outs. Though now I've said that, I've probably jinxed myself. 

Finally, i will be ready for my foundation. I have been using Rimmel London's 'Wake Me Up' Foundation. You can read my review of it here. It's not an amazing foundation, it doesn't personally make me look any more awake or vibrant like it insists. But like you'll soon notice a lot, i'm very lazy, so just didn't like the thought of trying different foundations. Though again, when i went to buy a replacement for my nearly empty bottle of this, it was out of stock. Shock. So i decided to try Revlon's '24hr Colorstay'. I'll probably also do a review for that once i start using it. 

The two foundations look completely different in colour next to each other, but that's only because they are. Using the Remmel foundation, i could only use a small amount, whereas the Revlon can actually be used properly. See, laziness.

Finally i use a powdered foundation to set my masterpiece. I don't like to spend a lot of money on make-up, as you can tell by now. But my cheap Natural Collection pressed powder, in 'Very Fair' seems to do the trick for me. 

Now to focus on my eyes! I like them to stand out, so that at least my whole face wouldn't disappear if i stood next to a white wall. I use my Remmel 'Scandaleyes' waterproof eye liner pencil nearly every single day, i absolutely love it, and it really is waterproof. Trust me, i stand there around 10 minutes per day trying to get this beauty off. The grey stick is Maybeline's 'Colour precision' eyeliner that i use on dramatic days.

I only use mascara when i'm not wearing eyeliner. I'm lazy, and don't see the point in applying it when my eyes are already black. So i try to stick to mascara on days when i am particularly lazy. I recently purchased Seventeens 'Super Lash' mascara, because i liked the bottle. That's the only reason. And after the first use, i realized i really shouldn't use my eye judgment in the future, because it's not amazing compared to cheaper ones out there. Review possibly coming soon.

So there you have it... That is what is in my make-up bag. I'm not one for base eye colours, or primers or anything. I like to keep it simple. I've realized this blog has turned more in to a daily make-up routine, rather than a what's in my bag blog. But never mind 'ehh. Let me know down below if any of you have tried any of my three new products, and if you of a good reasonably priced mascara that can replace this one!
