BarryM White crackle nail polish

The BarryM crackle nail polish is the best thing i ever bought! It works and drys within seconds and gives an amazing funky pattern to the nails. The white also goes with so many different colours giving you loads of different looks for your nails. You can get this nail polish pretty much any where for £3.99. Im thinking of maybe trying one of the magnetic polishes by BarryM so let me know if you've tried it!

Real Techniques Brushes - Core Collection

A Few days ago my real techniques brushes (by Samantha Chapman) arrived from amazon. i bought them on amazon as they were only £17.98 whereas in boots they are around £20. I bought the core collection and these are my first real techniques brushes and i love them! there so soft and especially loving the buffing brush right now. 

Buffing brush

The buffing brush is meant for powder or mineral foundation but i like to use it for my liquid foundation, it gives a really even coverage. the bristles are really tightly packed as well, although a few loose hairs have fallen out of it but that doesn't bother me much. 

The Contour Brush

I tried using this brush the other day and i found it rather hard. On the box it says to use to contour and highlight. i decided to try and use my bronzer with  it on the cheecks however it just didnt work very well. i think this brush is much better for highlight as i really struggled to actually contour my cheeks. however i do love how soft the brush is.

Pointed foundation brush

I was slightly disappointed with this brush as it was much smaller than i expected and far to small to be a foundation brush. It did work very well as a concealer brush though for concealing around the nose, under eyes and eyebrows and i think i will use this as a concealer brush in the future.

 Detailer Brush

This brush is so tiny! its great for doing precise concealer or eyeshadow or even eyeliner. its a very flat brush and i would have preferred it to be more rounded to do blending in the eyes but im not complaining as the brush is very precise and pointed.

Mac lipstick - Hue


I got this mac lipstick for Christmas its in the colour hue and i love it! its a nude pink shade and is a glade finish. this was my first proper mac product and i really love it. Its really soft on the lips. its very sheer and the only thing i dont like about this lipstick is that it can go very cracked on my lips. i think the next mac lipstick im going to get is going to be angle so let me know if you have that and what you think of it!

Gosh Eyeshadow - Plummy 05

I bought this eyeshadow yesterday at superdrug for 49p! They were selling a selection of gosh eye shadows for 49p and gosh blusher creams for 99p. I always see gosh highly reduced or broken. i got the shade plummy 05 which is a really nice purple/brown with sparkles in it. the colour looks really strong and pigmented but when i put it on my eyes, it was quite a weak
colour. Its very messy to use which is annoying.

YSL Lipstick- Rouge Pur (59) - £3?!

Im back! havent posted in a while, been very busy lately but im back! So i went to the clothes show live a few weeks ago and bought this YSL lipstick for £3!!!! it came in a daily mail bag with a magazine, newspaper and teeth whitener, but i only bought the bag for the lipstick. Normally it would cost £23 so to get it for £3 was amazing!
Its in the colour Rouge Pur (59), the lipstick is very moisturizing but i would not buy it for the colour. When i tried on the colour when i got home, it looks like a very nice pink but has a very strong gold shimmer tone to it and when put on the lips, it looks very shimmery gold/orange which i really dont like, however, if you only apply a small amount the lipstick blends into the lips to create a nude look which looks lovely. i will probably wear this lipstick more in the summer.

MAC Samples

This weekend i went to town and picked up two samples from mac! One was the primer from mac and another was the foundation. The samples were free, all we needed to do was ask for one. The sample shopping was great because we get to try out new products FOR FREE and decide whether or not we like them.

The mac primer is absolutley amazing! im loving it! you get so much in the sample and very little is needed on the face as it spreads well. It makes your skin feel unbelievebly soft and i would highly recomend it. I believe it is quite alot of money so get it on your christmas list!

The mac foundation was amazing  as well! the colour matches my skin tone PERFECTLY, i couldnt wish for another colour! it stays on pretty much all day but doesnt have an amazing coverage and is more like a tinted moisturizer instead of a foundation. you dont get as much foundation like you did with the primer,you get about a weeks worth in it.
