Nails of the Week; BarryM Gelly || Blackberry ♥

It has been ages since I last showed you what was on my nails, and I will now be changing all of that! I love the pastels and neutrals in the summer, but I must say that I prefer the deep colours of the Autumn/Fall! This past week I have been wearing another BarryM Gelly in Blackberry! When I read the name and saw the colour I knew it didn't match - I think there is some confusion with the packaging but never the less... I still love it!

Just like any other Gelly polish; the formula is very thick so you either do one thick coat or two thin even layers and it gives you the perfect 'gel replica' nails! So glossy after two coats, I didn't feel the need to apply a top coat but I wanted them to last for a long time so I did and I am glad I did as they have lasted a whole week!! I fall in love with BarryM more and more each time I purchase something new.

The pictures on the top have been taken at different times of the day, I took the one on the left in this morning with no flash and the one on the right at night with the flash on. The colour is more of a deep, dark blue not a blackberry colour! 

I may have also purchased a few more other BarryM nail varnishes when I picked this up!

Take a peek in inside my travel make-up bag ♥

Travelling. My love - whether it be up and around the country or around the world in a plane I love it. Today I will be showing you what products I am taking with me for a few days away with the family, so I am not taking a lot of things as I just want some make up that can make me look half decent and that I can take from day to night..let's get start on!

First up my face. I have to take my UD Naked Palette with me everywhere, it is such a staple item now that I own it and I can use it to change my look from day to night and the shadows are so versatile. 

Then I have a newer buy this is the Simple Kind to Skin BB Cream, and the reason that I am currently loving this so much is because it is designed for sensitive skin!! hallelujah!! A bb cream that won't break me out, and it has tiny shimmer particles to illuminate my skin for a fresh faced look. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

Yes. I am taking two concealers, but there is need for them both..I use the Collection one for under my eyes and redness and then the silver one is the one from Witch which is for blemishes and works like a wonderful. Powder love in the winter is from The Body Shop and is such a soft texture and feels amazing on the face and is full coverage in my opinion so over the light coverage of the bb cream and my concealer I love the  coverage. 

Taking brushes that are useful for everything is the best plan when travelling, the gold one you can see is the 'dupe' that I own for better blend of the bb cream and to set my concealer. The pink 'actual' RT brush is their multi task brush which I can use for powder and everything else. 

As I am currently in lust over lip products I have to take options with me, first is MUA Power pout the perfect berry colour for the autumn time and the formula for these things are amazing. Then a Revlon lip butter for those lazy mornings and Peach Parfait is great for an everyday look. Party Proof in the white packaging came in my birch

box for this month and it a matte lipstick that I have fallen in love with, perfect for the night time. 

That is everything I fit in my Jack Wills make up bag, and boy oh boy I still have room for all those skincare essentials!

Starting Off; Lipgloss/Stick ♥

Woah, the second to last week for 'The So Project'..I can't believe this has gone soo quick! I have slightly cheated with this post, as I actually used this whole post on a guest blog post for someone else! However, the lip products I was going to choose for this weeks starting off would have been the exact same, so I have just tweeked the post and used the same pictures! Hope you all enjoy and let me know you fav lip products! 

First up, is my newest purchase from Revlon...this is there lip butter in 'Sorbet'. I have always heard so much about these little gems, and really wanted to try one out for myself and when I had the chance to buy one - I jumped with joy. These butters are so moisturising and feel amazing on your lips, there is also a wide range of colours some which are highly pigmented so that the colour shows on your lips and others that are sheer for those of us that aren't very daring. This one is a mix of both, and I love it to death and it smells amazing too. 

Next up, is a product that the blogger world can be blamed for! This is one of the two  Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquers that I own - this is in the shade  'Celestial'. This is such a pretty nude pink colour and is great for the night time and day time on your lips, the formula of these lip lacquers is also great because they don't feel sticky and feel very light on the lips. The brush on these however are quite frightening as they pile a lot of product on, so the best way to apply is using the underneath of the wand.

Don't you just love the drug store? One of my favourite budget brands are MUA, they basically bring out all the dupes for the high end and expensive stuff! This is one of their lipsticks, that have recently been re packaged so that the bottom circle can come off - and stores a little bit of extra product. This is in the shade 'Nectar' and is a bright, bold orange colour that goes on your lips and looks beautiful. These lipsticks last for a very long time on your lips and apply so softly. 

This is another Revlon beauty and this is one of there lip glosses in the shade 'Peony'. This is a light, beige pink colour that actually applies and looks sheer and glittery on the lips, I find that it looks great on its own and on top of other lip products especially with the products I have mentioned above. The sponge applicator is great and evenly distributes the product across your lips and leaves your lips looking great!

And finally, I have one of them staple 'I couldn't live without' lip glosses! This is a limited edition BarryM lip gloss I got from a Impulse bottle ages ago, thanks to Nicole telling me! This is a clear, glittery lip gloss that is basically sheer on you lips and on it own it looks amazing as well as it looking great on top of another colour. The only thing about using this on top of other lip colours is that it stains the applicator as it is white :( but oh well - a great product!

Lush | Catastrophe Cosmetic Face Mask Review ♥

These winter/autumn masks are really good to my skin, which is a surprise because I suffer from really dry skin. Saying that though, it does have a tendency to break out loads. In a recent trip to Lush, I asked the lovely assistant which mask she would recommend for skin that breaks out ect and she said  'Catastrophe Cosmetic' which is deep cleansing mask.

Here is what Lush say; "here to lend you a bit of perspective, to tell you to calm down, it’s not the end of the world and it’s nothing that can't be sorted. Basically, this is your best mate in a pot."

This little tub has been my number one skin saviour these past few weeks, due to the fresh blueberries that it contains you have to keep it in the fridge and there is a certain date to finish it up. I seem to have got more use out of the mask then it says on the pot which is 4. The texture is very weird, as it isn't soft and smooth but not rough and gritty. I apply this all over my face every week for 10 minutes; until it is dried up and use a hot wash cloth to wipe it all away. 

I don't instantly see a difference, but after a good few hours my skin feels and looks amazing. It is so much softer, brighter and has calmed down loads. 

If you are like me and suffer from sensitive skin that is dry and sometimes oily, then this mask is for you! This is also my first time trying a Lush face mask and it won't be the last time either.

5/5 for this!
