1. Soap and Glory Girligo - This spray on body moisturiser has been on of my go to products since the cold weather started. Its really quick and easy to use, it leaves my skin feeling moisturised and refreshed and it smells delicious!
2. St Tropez wash off instant glow body lotion - I was sent this for review purposes and have been so impressed that I have bought it to go in a certain someones Christmas stocking (I hope they don't read this!). It gives a lovely natural golden colour, and the formula leaves my skin feeling smooth and soft. This is by far my favourite instant tan, look out for a full review coming soon :)
3. MAC Creme Cup Lipstick - This is my current go to lip colour. Its a subtle, glossy pink perfect for day to day wear and as it's a cremesheen it has a lovely, moisturising formula.
4. Sephora by OPI Metro Chic - This is the first of my two Winter nail varnish loves. Metro Chic is a dirty lilac toned grey. It looks fab with chunky knits and boots :-)
5. OPI My private Jet - I forgot how much I love my private jet! Its a unique glistening grey/brown. One of my favourite OPI colours.
6.Organic 7th Heaven Chocolate Nourishing Mask - I've not been feeling too great lately, and a bit of a pamper with a face mask always cheers me up! This deep cleansing mask is one of my favourites, it contains organic cocoa butter and peppermint and leaves my skin feeling lovely. It does of course smell fantastic too!
7. MAC MSF Natural - A little boring I know but I lost this product a few days ago and couldn't believe how much I struggled without of it! I apply this with my MAC 187 all over my face after concealing any problem areas and I'm done! It has great staying power, and gives my face a flawless finish.
and thats everything! Hope your all getting into your Christmas shopping, are you asking for anything exciting for christmas?
Have a fab week!
Metro Chic is a really unique dirty lilac toned grey, perfect for teaming with cosy chunky cardi's an jumpers as we enter these colder months! I have not tried any other polishes from the Sephora by OPI collection, but this applies great and lasts really well even without a topcoat.
You may have noticed that in the top right hand corner of my blog there is a product of the week feature which I try to update roughly weekly! I've decided to a little post each time I change the product of the week so I can let you know in a nutshell why I'm enjoying it so much! So this week the product in the spotlight is Elf's studio blush in Candid Coral :)
This blush is possibly my all time favourite product from elf, it is absolutely gorgeous and a total bargain for only £3.50. It's a lovely warm peachy coral with shimmer (but not too much!) which adds a pinch of colour and a lovely glow to your cheeks. I also find that this blush is the perfect size for popping in your handbag, and although I have had it for atleast five or six months I am no where near hitting pan so there is plenty of product too - I love it! :)
Hope you're having a great week!
1. I picked up this really cute makeup bag from bloomingdales, which I am going to keep inside my handbag - and protect my bags lovely interior from those fantastic times when lipstick and eyeliner lids decides to conveniently come off whilst inside my handbag - but never any other time! does this happen to anyone else or is it just me?!
2. Sephora by OPI nail varnish in Metro Chic - Of course I had to pick this up! its a really unusual colour and unlike anything else in my collection. Its a smokey purple tinted grey, very unique and lovley for autumn.
3. Sephora smoothing primer - I have never really felt the need to use a primer before, but I recently tried a sample of hourglasses mineral veil primer and was amazed by how it left my skin looking and feeling. Sadly, I can't afford to splash out on that at the moment, so I thought I'd give this smoothing primer by sephora a try instead and I've been really impressed. It doesn't feel as luxurious on my skin as the mineral veil but it does leave my skin feeling smooth and gives a lovely matt finish as a base for my makeup.
4. Eos Lipbalm - I spotted this at the till as I was paying for something else and was enticed by the unique packaging! I'm not sure how good this works as a balm, but it smells delicious (I can't remember the exact scent but I think its summer fruits) and the packaging is very cute.
5. NYC blushable creme stick in Plaza Pink - Although we do have some NYC products in the UK, we don't have the blushable creme sticks so I thought I would give this one a try. Plaza pink is a shimmery peach/pink, a really pretty colour but it also contains some glitter which I'm not too sure about. I've only swatched this at the moment so I will give you a proper review once I've worn it a few times, but on first impressions it blends really nicely, it not at all sticky and has a lovely smooth, sleek finish :)
6. CHI Silk Infusion - I had a mini version of this which featured in my holiday essentials post, and I love it so much that I picked up the 50ml version :) I use a pea sized amount on the ends of my hair once it has been towel dried and it leaves my hair silky, soft and smelling lush!
and thats everything! let me know if you would like a proper review of anything from this post and have a lovely weekend :)
(L-R Mod about you, Argenteeny Pinkini, Panda-monium pink, Do you lilac it?)
Mod about you is a fabulous super light true baby pink, I love this colour it always seems to make my nails look perfectly polished, no matter how short or unshaped they may be! The only problem I have with it is that it formulation is quite hard to work with, I have to have a lot of patience when applying this as it can easily become very streaky and of all my OPI's it probably chips the easiest.
Argenteeny Pinkini is a really pretty pink, this is my mums favourite nail polish and it is forever going missing from my room! Its a lovely wearable colour which goes with everything, and has great staying power.
Panda-monium Pink was released with the Hong Kong collection. It looks very very similar to mod about you in the bottle but they are actually quite different! Panda-monium pink is much more blue toned, and not quite as light as mod about you. The formulation is great, everything that I wanted mod about you to be! This is my current go to nail polish - I love it!
Do you lilac it? was my first OPI and is still one of my favourites! it is a stunning lilac. I think this applys the best of all my OPI's, it gives a great opaque colour after 2 coats.
(L-R Coney Island Cotton Candy, My Private Jet, Black Cherry Chutney)
Coney Island Cotton Candy is a peach toned nude. This is probably one of my least worn OPI's, the colour is a bit harder to work with but I think it will look lovely in the summer months with a tan!
My Private Jet is a dark shimmering grey - A really gorgeous unique colour! I wear this quite alot on my toes, it looks fantastic and has amazing staying power!
Black Cherry Chutney is a deep plum with red undertones - This was my most worn nail polish in the colder months, I've mentioned before that it reminds me of Twilight, its very vampire-esque!
and thats all of them! I definitely need some bright summery colours so any nail polish recommendations (from any brand) would be fantastic! If you would like swatches of any of these just let me know :)
Hope you're having a fab week!
My favourite of the three has to be black cherry chutney, it is a gorgeous deep plum with red undertones. It so strange but as soon as a saw this polish it made me think of twilight! Its very vampire esque! I'm not normally a fan of darker nail polishes but this one is lovely :-) Coney island cotton candy is a wearable peachy nude - great for understated nails. and below is argenteeny pinkini as todays nails of the day
Argenteeny Pinkini is a cool tone medium pink. At first I was a little disappointed with this polish, and it is probably my least favourite of the three. Althought it is very pretty, there is nothing very special about it and I probably have 3 or 4 similar colours in my collection. However it is a very wearable colour, and has lasted really well (I'm on the third day of wearing this polish and no chips to report as of yet!).
Speak Soon!
This is one of the three OPI polishes I purchased last week, and I love it! it is a really true lilac in colour, but is not at all overpowering and is really pretty for day to day wear. The picture is taken after two coats, this polish could probably do with three but i'm always reluctant to apply three coats as I find the polish doesn't last quite as long.
I'm really impressed with the OPI brush, its really big which makes applying the varnish quick and easy!
Hope you've had a lovely weekend
At the moment I am sporting my private jet and I absolutely adore the colour its completely different from anything else in my nail polish collection and so pretty! I can't wait to try out the other two :-)
Let me know if you would like to see swatches of any of these, and what is your favourite OPI polish? I'm pretty sure I'll be getting a couple more soon!
Hope you're having a lovely week!
