Beauty Binge #3

RRP 4.99

I am a sucker for eye catching nail varnish and the L'oreal top coat confetti certainly hits that criteria. This nail varnish has been massively popular resulting in it been sold out for several weeks but i was lucky able to pick the last one up in Superdrug.. Yay me!
 
The bottle contains matte black and white hexagon and circle flecks with a slight shimmer.
I painted two coats on top of the Barry M gelly pomegranate nail varnish which made it really pop.
Once the top coat had dried it had very little shine in fact it was quite dull so i would apply a clear top coat which handily also protected the flecks from chipping off.
 
The bottle is quite small compared to other brand, it only contains 5ml of varnish but i think its worth it as it creates a quirky speckled egg like nail art design with little effort.

Beauty Binge #1


This weekend I have went on a bit of a beauty binge coming home with a bag full of goodies.
One of the products been the L'Oreal colour riche eye shadow pallet.
 I did have one before and totally loved it, but i had one of them slow motion moment where it dropped to the floor, where it smashes in to a 1000 pieces.
 
 
I got the pallet from my local Superdrug store for £7.99.
There was a selection of different coloured pallets to choose from,
I opted for the beige trench as i think the colours will complement my green/blue/grayish eyes. I am not one for really dark bold colours on my eyes as i feel like a drag act or crusty the clown.
 
In the pallet there are 4 quite neutral colours. (As seen on my hand)
1. To highlight the inner corner and/or the brow bone of your eye.
2. Sweep across the lid.
3. Intensify the outer corner.
4. Smoke out the base of your lashes.
 
The colours are creamy but with a shimmery glisten running through. The colours do go together well and end up leaving you with a shimmering smoke effect.
