Nail Polish Haul #1

Today I have another haul. This time the products are all nail polishes, well except one. I have collected these over time and I still plan on buying more, so there will be another nail polish haul.
From BeautyBay.com I got an OPI Nail Lacquer in Nothin’ Mousie ‘Bout It, it is from the Minnie Mouse collection and I saw it swatched on the internet somewhere and I knew I had to buy it. The downside is that it was kind of expensive for a nail polish, but it’s one of a kind and limited edition. It is a pink and purple glitter shade, with pink confetti hearts mixed in it. I haven’t tried it yet, but I think it will be quite sheer because it’s the type of polish you layer over other colours. It was £11, with free shipping.

I also made an order on BarryM.com, because there were some shades I wanted and my local Superdrug and Boots do not sell them. I got three nail paints, the first in Jewel Britannia, which is a red, silver and blue glitter and confetti shade. It is based on the Union Jack and has been released in time for the Olympics. It is an online exclusive, so you can only buy it from BarryM.com and Boots.com. Like the OPI shade, I think this is designed to be layered, because the confetti is quite chunky, but if you wanted to wear it alone, I would imagine you need quite a few coats. The second shade I got was Green Glitter (298), I have been waiting to get this since I did my first BarryM.com haul, but it was always out of stock. It is just an emerald green glitter shade; I love my red one, so I know I will love this one, however I'm still waiting for the Blue Glitter to be back in stock! The last shade I got was Neon Pink. I got this because I am really into pink nail polishes and I thought neon has to be the brightest and boldest pink you could ever own. It looks lovely, but my nails are quite short at the moment, plus I am really pale, so it might look a bit scary on me, but I will try it out soon. They were £2.99 each and shipping was £2.95 (for orders under £10 only).

I also went to Superdrug and bought three more Barry M Nail Paints. I got their Clear Basecoat, Topcoat & Nail Hardener All in One (54) and I had a list of three new glitter shades I wanted and I could only get two of them. The first one I got was Aqua Glitter (340) and I have tried this and the colour is beautiful, but the formula is very different to the original glitters. The original ones take two coats, but this one needed three to five coats to get an opaque colour, which is disappointing. Lastly the second glitter shade I got was Silver Multi Glitter (338), which I thought would be just silver, but it has different colour glitters in it, but I still bought it, plus the word multi is a bit of a giveaway really. The third shade I wanted is a Superdrug instore exclusive limited edition Barry M Glitter Nail Paint in Magenta Glitter (a bright hot magenta pink glitter = GORGEOUS), but it has been out of stock every time I go into Superdrug, so I am probably destined not to own it! L
Lastly this is not nail related, but my FeelUnique.com order arrived yesterday morning. There was a 13% off everything code on Friday 13th July for the whole website, so I wanted to buy a Benefit Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow/Liner in R.S.V.P, but that was out of stock, so I bought the shade Flatter Me instead, which is a toasted mauve pink, with peach and gold shimmer. The price is usually £14, but because I used the code I got it for £12.18 instead, with free shipping.

My next post will be a perfume review, so keep a look at for that! J

Katie Price 'Stunning' Perfume VS JoJo Siwa 'Be You' Perfume - Are they the same?

I was browsing on AllBeauty.com and looking at celebrity fragrances and I saw that one was listed for JoJo Siwa. I had heard of JoJo before, but I don’t really know anything about her. I clicked on it out of interest and when I first saw the image of the perfume, I thought maybe the wrong photograph had been uploaded until I clicked on it and saw the description of the perfume. When I first saw the photograph, before I clicked on it to read the description, I instantly thought, that’s Stunning by Katie Price! I looked into it a bit more and compared it to Stunning. The JoJo Siwa “version” is called Be You. Photo Source: Perfume.com Stunning by Katie Price ·          Released in 2007 (12 years ago). ·          Contains the notes; Mandarin Orange, Jasmine & Patchouli. ·          Classed as a floral scent. ·          Marketed as an adult’s fragrance. ·          Diamonds by Next is a confirmed dupe of this perfume, but the bottle is completely different.

Glossybox #25 - February 2019

This is my third Glossybox since I re-subscribed last year. It is also the Valentine’s Day themed box. I would say that so far, this box seems to be the one most tailored to my usual interests. I received seven products in this box, technically six because two go hand in hand. HUDA BEAUTY Lip Contour in Venus This lip pencil formula is supposed to be waterproof and transfer-free. It should glide on effortlessly and give your lips an intense shot of colour. You can use it to contour or colour your lips or pair it with a lipstick. Venus is a warm beige nude shade. It glides onto your lips very easy, but it feels a little tacky when you fill your whole lips in with it. I’m not sure how often I would use this seeing as though I have never used lip liner. I prefer liquid lipsticks and I don’t feel the need to line my lips before applying it. | 1.20g - £16.00 | NAILS INC Nail Varnish in Status Ready This nail polish should be long lasting and super glossy. It is a deep che

Jeffree Star Cosmetics Jawbreaker Palette

I bought this palette back when it first launched (summer 2019) and I was interested in it so I could experiment more with bright colours. The colour selection definitely doesn’t disappoint and I was expecting it to be the same quality as the Blood Sugar Palette, if not slightly better! The packaging is quite a large rectangular shape and made out of metallic pink cardboard with colourful dots/dashes all over representing a jawbreaker pattern. The name of the palette is in a slightly raised font. It has a magnetic closing which you lift to reveal the twenty-four eyeshadow pans arranged on a white background. The other side is the same pattern as the front cover with a mirror. You can purchase it for £54.00 ($58.00) from JeffreeStarCosmetics.com and BeautyBay.com. You get twenty-four 1.50g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Shimmer (S) and Metallic (ME) finishes. Swatch Stencil: Stripes Double 14 Pan by SwatchPerfect.co.uk Virgin - bone white (M) Good Morning - soft pink
