Look Fantastic Haul #1


Hello, I am going to share with you some nail polishes I bought from LookFantastic.com. I received them yesterday and they are my new obsession, ESSIE.

I mainly look for the mini four piece polish collections from Essie, because they are not very expensive and they are small, which is good for me because I tend to love colours when I buy them and then go off them when I buy another, this way I have more chance of using one up and trying many different shades.

I got the Summer 2011 Collection for £11.85, which consists of four shades called, Braziliant, Smooth Sailing, Super Bossa Nova and Meet Me At Sunset. I know this collection is quite old, but the colours appealed to me, plus other collections from last year had really light colours and I am more into pastel bright colours. My favourite colour from this collection is Braziliant. I also bought a full size of Olé Caliente for £5.95, which is quite inexpensive for an Essie polish in the UK. I actually got this shade in another mini collection I bought not so long ago, but I fell in love with it and had to buy it in full size, especially for that price. Lastly I received a free sample of Caudalie Vinexpert Anti-Ageing Serum (1.5ml) for eyes and lips, and I gave this away to a family member, as it has no relevance to me.

I know this was short, but hopefully sweet, BYE! ;)

My Eye Primers: The Verdict!

It has taken me a long time to put this altogether, but I have finally done it! I decided I wanted to share my thoughts on eye primers I had tried and it turned out that I had ten, so I thought I would test them and find out which one worked best for me. I have split them into two categories (High End/Low End) and I aim to rank them from #1 to #10 on which is the longest wearing. Let’s look at the primers I will be testing. HIGH END URBAN DECAY PRIMER POTION PRICE: £17.50 SIZE: 10ml SHADES: Original, Anti-ageing, Freebase, Eden, Fix, Minor Sin, Sin and Caffeine APPLICATION: Squeeze tube without a nozzle, but also has a sponge stick applicator PROMISES: Non-creasing, gives you vibrant eyeshadows WHERE TO BUY: UrbanDecay.co.uk (UK) & Sephora (USA) I like to think that this primer is my favourite as I love the packaging (purple is my favourite colour). It is potion bottle inspired and it is the first primer I remember ever seeing and wanting. The packa...

Perfume Power! - Next 'Paradise'

I first smelt this perfume after receiving it in a mini gift set about ten years ago and I have loved it ever since. This 100ml size is my first bottle of it though, other than the tester/sample size. The bottle is quite tall and it is a sort of clutch bag shape if you turn it on its side. The bottle is a simple design and you can easily see how much perfume you have. On mine the spray pump sometimes gets stuck in the band around the neck of the bottle, but the problem is easily solved. I can’t find a specific note list anywhere for this perfume, but on Next’s site it is described as, "a light fruity fragrance with white florals and green notes". To me it smells really fruity and fresh. It is also multifunctional because it is quite strong and sexy, so perfect for a night out, but it is also not too overpowering and smells fresh and fruity enough for day time wear. It is actually an eau de toilette, which means that it is less concentrated, but I find that it is st...
