Nails Of The Week!


I've previously done a 'Nails Of The Week' post using this nail polish but you can never have enough swatches!

I love this colour

November Favourites

I rarely write 'monthly favourites' posts because I tend to stick to the same products so every month would be very similar!

  • TRESemmé Smooth Silk Shine Finishing Spray (Post here)
  • TRESemmé No Frizz Smoothing Serum (Post here)
^ These two products have made my hair unbelievably smooth and shiny. My hair has always been in good condition and now it's in the best condition of my life!

  • Nubar 2010 (Post here)
^ This is just beautiful. Reflective glitter flakes. It looks best over dark colours, the other week I put it over Barry M's Indigo and it looked stunning. Unfortunately I couldn't get any photos because of the dark evenings we are getting and it doesn't show up well with a flash on.

  • Maybelline Colour Sensational Lipstick in Mystic Mauve (Post here)
^ I never thought I'd like a Mauve lipstick. This is a cooled toned pink with mauve undertones and is perfect for everyday wear.

  • Sleek Original Palette (Post here)
  • First Light Cosmetics Mineral Blush in Kohilo (Post here)
^ I don't change the products I use very often, boring I know! and I've been using these products daily for quite some time.
I don't wear eyeshadow on my lids much but I wear it on my lower lash line. I've been using this palette everyday and as eyeliner, they stay put all day. I tend to combine the navy, blue and purple.

I've been using the Kohilo blush everyday for a month and a half haha! The shimmer is so fine, it doubles up as a highlighter and gives the most beautiful glow.

MeMeMe Nail Polish- Swatches and Review

Refined, Wild, Exotic, Vivacious, Demure, Impulsive, Proud.


Top to bottom: Refined (Can hardly see), Wild, Exotic, Vivacious and Demure.


Proud and Impulsive.


Price: £4.50 each.

Demure and Refined are from the Classic collection whilst the rest are from the Catwalk collection.

The brush is wide (Can cover my baby finger) which some may like but I had to get used to it. Refined and Impulsive were quite streaky but I find that most pastels and yellows are. Apart from that, the formula is fine.

£4.50 for 12ml is affordable, I'm just not sure if I like the brush and no colours particularly stand out to me (I really dislike the colours of Proud and Impulsive and the others are colours you can get from any brand)

You can buy these from MeMeMe Cosmetics or Superdrug.

Little shop!


I haven't been in town for ages! For the last couple of months I've had to buy school revision books and equipment but from now on, the money I earn can be spent on myself :)
I love this time of the year as all the Christmas stalls are out with pretty scarves (3 for £5, getting some next time), home made fudge and massive frying pans filled with noodles, chicken and all things yummy.
I'm in desperate need of a whole new wardrobe and I'm slowly getting there. Next week I'll buy a coat, week after, jeans, then hoodies, then tops, then underwear.

H&M T-shirts- 2 for £7.99
Primark grey pumps- £4
Primark thermal socks- £2.50 for 2 pairs. Love these, they're so thick and warm!
Primark balconette purple lace bra- £5
Primark plunge grey lace bra- £5

There are tons of pjs I want from Primark, including snoopy ones. The night wear is the best part of Primark :)

Happy times!

This is just a quick post!
My blog is like a diary so I want to note this down :)

So why am I happy?
I have 3 conditional offers from Universities (One more to go, as I only chose 4 options), I've gone up a cup size ;), my dad just bought me a new bra (Might sound weird to some? haha), my dad just bought my London trip snacks which include BBQ Rib Doritos! anddd the big one is I got a high B in my Psychology test! This may seem like an everyday thing but it's not to me. For the last couple of months, I've been struggling with Psychology and getting really upset about it (You should know, I've mentioned it in every update post!). This goes to show that if I just revise, I can do it :)

Have a good night :D

P.S I'm extremely tempted to open those Doritios! and the wine gums... and the jelly beans. Must. Resist.

Nails Of The Week!


I'm not happy with these photos :/

This is Barry M's Nail Paint in Indigo, one of the newest additions to the family.
This colour is dark, but bright for how dark it is, get me? It has some 'umph' to it.
It's the perfect combination of blue and purple but my camera isn't capturing it well. It's not as blue as the photos suggest.

I realised I didn't have an Indigo or Navy in my collection so off I popped to Superdrug. I went straight to the Barry M stand as they never disappoint!
Barry M also have a colour called 'Navy' but it has fine shimmer and is too dark for what I was looking for.
