Hey Guys,

I recently picked up a couple bits of jewellery in H&M. I don't often shop in their as I find the stores crowded, cramped and dark. The only h&m store I actually like to shop in is the one at west-fields in london as they actually have some lights on in the store. I don't understand clothing shops that have really low lighting and so barely shop in them (it's the same with topshop, they always just seem dark, or I'm crazy) I much rather shopping in new look as the it is well lit and I can actually see what I'm buying. Anyways ramble over on with the purchases.

I had seen this when I went into h&m earlier this year I think in june maybe and really wanted it at the time yet didn't have the money at the time. So I had to pick this up when I saw it again. It's a lot simpler than most of the resent jewellery I have bought but still is a very statement bold necklace. 

The second and last thing I dot was this ear cuff. It's actually upside down in the picture but I really liked this and thought it was a really edgy piece. I just loved the shape of this. Yet it does start hurting my ear after a while

Hey guys,

I recently went into debenham's to look at the Urban decay makeup. I was really tempted to get the heavy metal glitter liners and the vice 2 palette (I got the palette from beautybay.com as it was 13% cheaper.) I didn't really want to spend £13 on one glitter liner so looked online to see what other brands do glitter liners. I then picked up 6 of the collection glam crystal liners in superdrug as they still have a 3 for 2 offer. 

I got the colours in Le freak (aqua), Rock chick (Black/silver), Funk (gold), Hustle (silver), Dancing queen (red/pink), and Shake it up (purple).

My favourite was Le freak but when I took these swatches of I noticed that only this colour had stained my skin blue so I am a bit apprehensive about using it on my eyes. They were all super pigmented though yet Funk was a bit of a let down for me. The best is probably rock chic and I can already see myself wearing this on new years eve. I really like the names of the colours but it's annoying to blog about products with names that don't describe colour :P  I have no idea how they came up with Le freak for the aqua colour!

I definitely would recommend these as a cheaper alternative to the urban decay liners based on pigmentation but I will update you guys on how long they last in a latter post.

Hope you enjoyed

Hi guys,

Yes I've been buying again. I bought some revlon polishes as they have gotten good reviews and the bottles are very nice. I also thought i'd take advantage of them being £2 off in superdrug. They were £6.49 but at the moment they are £4.49. They are a bit more expensive than what I'd usually spend on polish but I fell in love with these colours and had to have them. I got (I think they are new releases) a gold/ silvery polish called rich, a dark purple called seductive, and a fuchsia glitter in black polish called scandalous.

Here come the swatches...

I tried to clean up my nails but the purple does stain a bit. The purple is my least favourite as it is very thin and takes about three coats to become opaque. I prefer the gold and the fuchsia glitter. 

Hope you enjoy,

Hey another Haul post guys.

I've been a bit bad this week with money and have bought a lot. I only spent £5 on all this but I've also got some stuff from new look and a couple shoe unboxings to show you guys in another post.

I found some lovely rimmel shades. The green is 120 urban green, The silver is 700 silver moonlight and the red is 171 fancy topaz.

I also got these maybelline shades in Plum Opal and Taupe Opal.

These were such a bargain so keep your eyes out in pound land for makeup. I've also seen some revlon products but didn't fancy the colours. 

Hope you enjoyed

Hey Guys,

I recently bought a new clutch as going out at uni I needed a small bag big enough to fit stuff like my phone keys and money in. I fell in love with this bag in new look as unlike most other bags on the market it has silver instead of gold embellishment which I prefer.

I also loved the faux snake skin leather look and quite a few of my bags have this at the moment. I also liked the delicate silver chain strap that unlike most my hair does not get caught up in. I think it cost £12.99 but don't remember I've had It a couple weeks now lol.

Hope you enjoy

Hey guys!

I am so excited about this post and I've waited a couple days so that I could show you all four limited editions in one post. I spotted the superdrug limited editions a couple days ago when I went in to get the new berry cosmo shade and crystal glaze. I fell in love with these mainly because I love a good glitter and because they have the foil  handles that last years fall bottles had (I have the pink sort of foil effect one) I especially love gold dust as it contains gold and rose gold strands perfect for the season. I then saw on facebook the boots limited editions and so went out and got them today (used some boots points so only ended up paying for one). I was wearing berry cosmo today which had chipped a bit as I was hand sewing at uni. So I painted half the nail using barry m lychee to show the glitters over a dark and a light colour.

Here come the swatches; On my thumb is two coats of crystal glaze, on my pointer is fairy lights (the superdrug pink glitter) on my middle is gold dust. Then on my ring finger is silver lights (boots silver glitter) and then tinsel town (boots multi strand glitter) on my pinkie. All the limited editions cost £3.99 as did crystal glaze.

Hey guys,

Today I decide to create another design using strips of tape as It worked really well with stripes last time, although smudged with topcoat. I suggest to recreate this design you paint your nails the chosen base colour the night before to ensure the nails are completely dry and the tape does not rip up the base colour when applied. I used a base of Barry M silvery lilac on most of my nails but silver foil effect on my ring finger. I let that dry then cut masking tape using pinking scissors and applied to the nail and then painted over using silver or silvery lilac. Now the pictures.

Hope you enjoy,

Hey guys,

Yesterday I attempted for the first time creating a stripe mani using tape. I have never done this before and so was pleased with the result until putting top coat on dragged some of the silver :( I love the colour combination and the difference between the silver foil effect and the pink varnish. Pictures first then a tutorial.

I started by painting a base colour of Barry M bright pink, I painted this the night before so that when I applied the tape the nail varnish wouldn't smudge or pull off. I then cut strips of masking tape and positioned them on  the nail creating horizontal stripes. On the ring finger I used smaller stripes of masking tape so it was slightly different than the others creating a subtle accent nail. I then applied top coat which unfortunately smudged some of the silver. 

Hope you enjoy,

Lauren :P
