Christmas mini blog #3 Silver lovin'

These next two items, technically weren't presents as I treat myself, it was more of a merry christmas to me from me kinda thing. 

Ive had a real thing about metallic and glitter this christmas, something about everything being so sparkly this time of year, so I made these two purchases in the christmas sales. 

The first is the Guerlain 'The Eye Pencil' in the shade 05 Amber Silver. This is just a gorgeous silver taupe colour, with the slightest sheen to it, it glides on so smoothly, is very blend able and has a creme feel to it, making it really soft and easy to work with. 

The second is the Mavala nail polish in the shade 213 Pure Diamond. I love this, its a true silver colour, with loads of little sparkles and crystals in, making it a lovely top coat to add some sparkle. This is also lovely on its own as its build able depending on how sparkly you want it. 

These are perfect for any party, and just in time for New Years too.

First Mini-Haul from Revolution MakeUp London

I have seen a lot of fuss about this new drug store brand, Revolution Make-up recently, and was very pleased to see my local Superdrug had started to stock it. 

This brand has been all over twitter and Instagram (I will leave links below) and has been talked about by quite a few infamous bloggers. 

I only picked up a couple of bits, as I was in a rush, and just picked things that caught my eye, however I will be going back as I am desperate to try one of their eye shadow palettes, that look amazing. 

 The first thing I got was a nail varnish in the shade Adore. This is just a really cute purple colour, that I thought would look lovely in the transition from Summer to Autumn. This is quite a deep colour and goes on really well in two coats, leaving a lovely shine, this was £1 and they have a variety of other colours to choose from. 

Next were two eye shadow's, again, I could've grabbed more but didn't really have the time. I picked up a silvery- blue shade, called Frozen (how cute?) and this reminds me of MAC's Electra but for a tenth of the cost. I love this, as an inner corner highlight, or to use with a smoky eye for a more dramatic effect. The next is in the shade Insomnia and is just an amazing glittery dark plum colour, again I thought this would look amazing in Autumn, and Winter too, as its dark but still adds a little sparkle to your eyes. These were both £1 each, and again there are many to choose from. 

Lastly was a cute little blush, in the shade Treat and is just a really cute light orange- coral colour. This is quite orange toned, but looks great on the tops of the cheeks, to give a little colour, perfect for creating that rosy winter cheek, without sticking to the generic pink. This was also £1 is definitely worth the money.

I love the packaging of this new range, its just simple and classic, and good sizes for travelling with, and the best part... If you loose an item, or break something, it doesn't cost a fortune to replace! 

What have you tried from this range? 

Topshop High Voltage Nail Varnish

The weather has been on the turn lately, but to keep the summer feel going I decided to try out one of my Topshop nail varnish's I had forgotten about. This is a hot pink one called High Voltage, and it is amazing!

This goes on so bright in one coat, and extra glossy and rich in two, the formula is really lovely as it isn't sticky, or gloopy and it dries with a healthy sheen. 

I just adore this colour for a summer look, to brighten up your nails and yourself, and Topshop are so affordable. 

I would 100% recommend trying out the range, they have so many colours and different types to choose from you're bound to find something you like.

Hint:

I always use a top and base coat to help keep nail strength and keep the polish on without chipping.

I use the OPI range, but there are cheaper alternatives!

What summer colours would you recommend? 

Essie's Fiji

When it's summer, we all know we want lovely summer nails, right?

And one of my staple, and favourite colours of all time is an Essie polish in the shade Fiji.

I love this colour, you can buy them from the drug store, and they retail for £7.99, which for a nail varnish this good, is nothing!

This is a pink toned white, and looks great after just two coats. It goes on really smoothly and last's ages, without chipping, of course that is with a top coat. 

I just love this colour for the summer, its so fun and girlie, and looks effortlessly chic. With a colour this light, its great to add a glitter over the top, to add that instant sparkle, and creativity in minutes. 

All the Essie range are fantastic, the colours are beautiful and the formula is really nice. 

I would 100% recommend this, if you're looking for a pretty girlie colour, that steps away from the normal pinks and purples.
