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

Escada Collector's Edition Gift Set

I’ve always been interested in trying Escada fragrances, but there are so many to choose from and I didn’t want to risk buying a full size bottle. I came across this little gift set whilst I was shopping online at Boots and clicked buy straight away! All four fragrances are in a tiny, but cute 4ml potion looking bottle. Here are the four scents you get to try:- TURQUOISE SUMMER This bottle is a turquoise/clear theme and contains the notes; pineapple, strawberry, raspberry, blackcurrant, peach, violet, orange blossom, vanilla, sandalwood and musk. It smells really strong of orange blossom and kind of like a car air freshener. It does linger quite a while on the skin, but it is not really a strong scent. Overall I don’t like this scent. It doesn’t really smell of anything to me and what you can smell isn’t what I would call pleasant. I give this perfume 1/5 . BORN IN PARADISE This bottle’s theme is the same as Turquoise Summer and contains the notes; green apple, watermelo...

Serial Sampler #41

An advertisement popped up on Facebook with an offer of a free sample of this new fragrance and I clicked straight away! I have previously tested the original scent of this fragrance line and I loved it, so I was also expecting to like this one.   It is Born In Roma Yellow Dream by Valentino and it is a 1.2ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.   “ A floral lift of a thousand rose petals, twisted with a new clean and fresh addiction. ” Launched: 2021   Type: Floral / Feminine (Donna) Notes Top: Italian Lemon. Middle: Rose Essence. Base: Clean Accord and White Musks. This is a very soft and delicate floral scent with a fresh musk hint. It is definitely more floral smelling than the original Born In Roma fragrance. I can’t really detect the Italian Lemon. I can pick-up a fruity sort of hint, but it definitely isn’t lemon to me. I can detect the very light Rose Essence and White Musk and it does smell like a clean scent. It smells like a lovely spring day to me. I w...

Haul: Recent Purchases #3

I just wanted to share with you a few naughty purchases and I’m sure these won’t be the last of this month! From FeelUnique.com I finally got my hands on the Juicy Couture Duo Spray Set , which includes two 7.5ml purse sprays of Viva La Juicy La Fleur and Viva La Juicy . I also bought the Urban Decay Nirvana Build Your Own Quad Palette , as I eventually plan on buying some single UD eyeshadows and need somewhere cute to house them. Lastly, after deciding against the purchase, I listened to the little devil on my shoulder and got theBalm Balmsai Palette . From AllBeauty.com I bought a bigger size of the DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom Perfume (50ml). I am still working my way through the 30ml, but I just couldn’t pass on the sale discount and I love the scent. I also decided to buy a 30ml bottle of Britney Spears Curious Perfume . It was so inexpensive and I wanted to own the fragrance again. I nearly bought the 100ml as it was equally inexpensive, but I haven’t smelled the...
