Elegant Touch Nail Spray|| Review

A few weeks back I went to Superdrug and found this Elegant Touch Rapid Dry Nail Spray and after reading the front of the bottle I just had to buy it. It claims to dry your nails in 60 seconds and conditions your nails with Vitamin E, this is perfect for any girl like me who loves to paint her nails but cannot sit still to wait for them to dry without doing anything. I was amazed at the fact that this is a spray that dries your nails, unlike a top coat that also claims to dry your nails really quickly. 

I love it because it doesn't smell at all and you don't need to wash it off afterwards, all you do is spray it onto your nails from a 10cm distance and then I recommend to let it sit for a while until it dries for about 60-90 seconds. The only thing is the that it leaves a oily residue on your nails, but not worry just rub it in to your cuticles and then you are conditioning your nails at the same time! 

I honestly can't find the words to describe how amazing this product is, if you happen to pop into boots or superdrug then pick a bottle of this stuff up for around £3 because it is life changing!

February Favourites|| 2014

Its time for the favourites of this month! I will be doing these posts every month, as I find that I will have much more to talk about instead of doing them every month, but the months I won't be doing them there will be something in there place I promise! This month I have been loving a whole load of things and can't wait to share them with you :) 

Real Techniques Essential Foundation Brush - I have been the loving this brush loads lately, but I use it a the wrong way because I don't use it foundation! I actually really like to use it for concealer under my eye, it works really well with blending and is easier to use than other brushes as they are really soft. 

Elegant Touch Rapid Dry Spray - I haven't technically had this for very long, but I have been using alot so I just needed to talk about it! This spray is amazing and dries my nails ever so quickly that when I have finished painting my nails - I am always wanting to go and do something so this spray makes it so much easier to do everything! 

Ted Baker Body Soufflé - Something I got in a gift set from Christmas that I have fallen in love with, recently I have been using this on my arms after moisturising as I have really dry skin and this just makes me smell really nice! 

Triangle Necklace - The problem with going to college for me is that I can't wear any long necklaces because of my ID badge so instead I wanted to find a short statement one that will sit nicely with everything else that I have. And this one from Store Twenty One was reduced in the sale to £2 and therefore I couldn't resist from buying it! Ever since I have been wearing it with everything, especially with collared shirts and jumpers as it looks amazing. 

 Naked 3 - Who would have guessed that this would be in this post?! I freaking love this palette and all the colours in it, every time I have been going out or wanting to do some easy and simple eye makeup I have been going for the palette. The shades on the left hand side are the ones I have been using more than anything else as they are more neutral rose gold. 

Sleek Blush in Rose Gold -  This blush suits my skin tone so much, I love the way it looks so natural and gives my skin a natural glow. It also stays on my skin for a long time and works with any looks that I am going for, if you know me then you will know that I am not the biggest fan of blush but something about this one just makes me fall in love! 

Soap&Glory Thick and Fast - Another product I have been reaching for lately is this soap and glory mascara! I love wearing mascara on my eyes that give me volume and thicken them up to really enhance my eyes and these make my lashes look so big and amazing.  

Revlon Lip Butter in Berry Smoothie - I love the Revlon lip butter range, and one of my current favourites is 'Berry Smoothie' the colour pay off is amazing on my lips and it is really natural so goes well with anything and great to put on in the morning  and then it lasts all day. 

NYC Foundation - There is just something about this foundation that I have been loving, at first I really didn't like it but it turns out that I just wasn't using it the right way?! I was applying it with my hands and blending it with my fingers - but now I use it with a stippling/blending brush and use two layers both even to build up the coverage. 

Rimmel Salon Pro in Hip Hop - Ahh I have fallen in love with the Salon Pro range that Rimmel have got. I have only got Hip Hop but I love the other shades in the range as well which will be a cheeky purchase soon. The formula of this polish is really weird because it is very watery (well i think it is) but then on your nails it is very pigmented, thick and only needs one coat! 

Sally Hansen Nail Growth Serum - This nail serum is no stranger to this blog, I have been recently using this to help with the condition of my nails not only is it helping with the growing of the nails but also with the cuticle area which always gets really dry.

Wow..that was a lot! I need a cup of tea...hope you enjoyed this post and look out for a random favourites type post very soon! 

FOTD || Rose Gold Overload

Hello everyone, today I have a face of the day post for you and so rightly named 'Rose Gold Overload' because I am loving anything rose gold at the moment and that obsession is taking over my life! I love how the colours look on my skin and work well together for the day and the night. This look is something that I have been going for constantly as it is just so easy to do and looks amazing!

As you can see I don't use a lot of products and that's what makes me love it even more! Lets start off with the face...

No7 Airbrush Away Primer - In my bid to finish up any samples that I own, I have started to use this primer to use it up. Not the biggest fan of it as it doesn't help with dry skin, however with this foundation and helping with diminishing pores it does really well.  

NYC Skin Match Luminizer Foundation - Oh lord, this foundation is amazing! I have been using this everyday for the last 2 weeks because I love everything about it. It gives me coverage, makes my skin look flawless and glowing, it does take two layers and you can build it up even more as on first application it is very light coverage. I think this will be great for the summer time as it really sits well on my skin with the primer, and for a very little price you are getting lots of product. There are 5 shades available and you will find one to match you I promise as I did! And it has a pump which makes application so much easier. 

Collection Concealer - Well, there really isn't much to say about this concealer is there! I talk about it all the time and therefore won't go on and on about it. But let me tell you that using this foundation and then this concealer gives my skin a flawless finish that I am so proud of! 

The Body Shop Powder - I like to set everything with a powder, and this one from the body shop also gives me a little bit of coverage along with helping to control the oil on my forehead. Body Shop have blown me away with this product and I want to get my hands on some other things from their line. 

Sleek Rose Gold Blush - I just knew that, the moment that I first laid my eyes on this blush and swatched it - I would fall in love. I am not usually a fan of blush on my skin as I have never found one that doesn't over do it. But this one from Sleek is perfect; it doesn't make me look like I have lots of makeup on my face and gives me this lovely glow on top of everything else a fresh glow of colour. 

Then on to the eyes and only two products this time, but both are my current favourites! And what started this whole look off...

Naked 3 Palette - If you haven't tried, bought or even looked at this palette yet then you need to because I promise you this will win you over. I love all the shades in this palette but there are a few colours that catch my eye every time I go to use it. I like to apply Nooner all over the lid as this matte shade is perfect to use as a base, then on my lid to build up the colour I use Liar and then in the outer corner and crease I take a mix of Burnout and Dust which just work well together. Using Strange in the in the inner corner and brow bone pulls everything together. 

Soap&Glory Thick and Fast - This mascara just does it for me. I am not one to try out a lot mascaras because I don't always wear them and love my great lash one from Maybelline but this one is just mighty fine! I love how much volume it gives to my lashes and they just grow in size and thickness because of the formula of the mascara. I can't use this on my bottom lashes though as the brush is too big for my small eyes!

L'oreal Micellar Water+Velvety Soft Toner|| Review

As the world of beauty develops we get more and more dupes coming our way, everything from lipsticks to foundations. Today I bring you a duo from L'oreal - many believe that this Micellar Water is a dupe for Bioderma. But I can't compare it to anything as I haven't tried anything else! A while back when i wanted to buy the water, I ended up buying the toner instead and fell in love with, but felt that it was missing something! Soon to discover the water was on offer in Superdrug and I didn't even think twice about before buying it. They work even better together then they do on their own.

L'oreal Micellar Water

First up the star of the show and this blog post, I started using this as soon as I got it. I start off by wiping my face with a makeup removing wipe and then use this water to remove anything else that is left on my face, and it is crazy to see how much comes off on a cotton pad. I have seen such a big difference in my skin after using this as it turns out I was never actually cleaning my skin properly. It is also designed for sensitive skin which has me written all over it! I haven't used it with eye makeup yet but I believe that it will be amazing! 

Velvety Soft Toner

Now even though, the Micellar Water tones your skin as well, I like to use the velvety soft toner after as well to just calm my skin down. It leaves my skin feeling so soft and cleaned! Even though this toner has a scent to it, I love it!! It doesn't harm my skin in anyway and doesn't make it feel dry at all, it smells delicious! It is called Velvety for the right reason as my skin feels sooo smooth and soft afterwards! 

I want to try some more things from the L'oreal skincare range as I think my skin really likes it!
