17's Lasting Fix Nail Polish - Woo Me and Forever

(Woo me)

(Forever)

On a recent trip into boots I spied 17’s new range of nail polish colours from their Spring Vintage Love Limited Edition collection! I picked up two of the colours Woo Me – a light lilac colour and Forever – nude/caramel colour!

I absolute love these colours as they are perfect for the spring and would really like to try the other colours from the collection! The only thing putting me off however is the consistency of the polish. I found it quite difficult to apply and had to apply 2-3 coats to get the finished look as the first coat was streaky! Although for the price (£2.99) you get what you pay for, and for beautiful colours I may put up with the quality of the polish!

At moment Boots are offering 3 for 2 on all 17 cosmetics, so I think I might pick up three more which will give a gorgeous range of colours to wear for spring and summer!

Have you tried anything from the 17’s Spring Vintage Love collection? What would you recommend?

Hope you are having a lovely week! I’m off to do lots of university work, wish me luck!

Wish List

Premium Professional Kit with Brush Roll

Synthetic Face Kit

I've been looking at loads of Sigma Brushes reviews and trying to make my mind up on whether I should buy them! I really hate the fact you can only purchase them online because I like to have a feel for brushes before I buy, and its a lot of money to waste if I don't like them!

I have a few MAC brushes and I really like them but as a poor student I really can't afford to buy all the brushes I would like, so I would hope Sigma was a cheaper, yet still good quality alternative!

I'll let you know I take the leap of faith and buy them. Have you tried Sigma Brushes? What did you think?

Hope you have had a good weekend

NOTD - Sephora by OPI - On Stage

 (Wearing only one coat of polish)

One of the nail polishes I picked up in New York - On Stage by Sephora by OPI

I was desperate for the colour Metro Chick, but they had sold out :( so I picked up this little beauty!

I love the colour, its a gorgeous dirty purple colour which is perfect for wearing in the day and I've had a few compliments on it too :)

Hope your having a lovely Saturday

Covergirl Lash Blast Volume Mascara

Again something I’ve heard a lot about - the Covergirl mascaras!  So when I was in New York I picked up this!

It’s a great mascara if you want a curl and lengthening. It holds a curl really well in my lashes which is amazing as mine as so stubborn and straight! I’m always after curly lashes and I achieve it with this mascara, although I do find sometime it can look a little clumpy and heavy!

I don’t think I will worry about repurchasing the Covergirl mascara because the Maxfactor’s False Lash Effect does the exact same job and it’s easier to get hold of in the UK!

I’ve just brought the new Maybelline One by One mascara so except a review soon!

Hope your having a lovely week

I like it, but I it exactly the same as Maxfactor’s False Lash Effect! I believe (or I think I heard somewhere) they are made by the same company, which explains why the packaging looks the same and I get the same effect from the Covergirl mascara as I do with the Maxfactor’s False Lash Effect.

John Frieda Frizz-Ease 3 Day Straight

I have thick wavy hair, but not a nice beach wave it more of a wavy, frizzy mess so I’m always straighten my hair just to make my hair look more even and neat, and all that heat everyday can’t be good for anyone’s hair!

So when I saw this in Boots about a week ago I thought I would try it, if it means I only have to straighten my hair every 3 days or after every wash (every other day) instead of every day!

The idea is to use on damp hair, blow-dry and use straighteners to set the hair for the next 3 days

The results.........

Day 1 – this was after blow drying and straightening my hair. I was really impressed how soft my hair was and how easy it was to straighten my hair!

Day 2 – As you can see I had a kink in the back of my hair from where I slept funny, so I did need to bring out the straightens before leaving the house, however I was still impressed that I didn’t need to straighten the whole of my hair.

Day 3 – I still had a bit of a wave in my hair when I woke up but it gave my hair a more natural straight look (if that make sense) instead of poker straight which I really liked, it’s the way I would like my hair to look after I blow-dried my hair.

I think overall I like it! I knew it wasn’t going to be a miracle spray making my hair completely straight everyday because of course when you sleep on your hair you will get a kink to it, however that fact I didn’t have to straighten my whole head of hair everyday means there was a lot less heat on my hair – which is always good! Plus it made my hair feel really soft!

Anyone else tried the 3 day straight spray, what did you think?

Hope you had a good weekend

EOS Lip Balm

I’ve notice these lip balms a couple of times in the beauty blogging community, so when I saw these in a drugstore in New York I thought would pick one up!

I honestly thought it would be just a gimmick lip balm and wouldn’t be that good, but I actually find myself reaching for it all the time. It’s really moisturizing, smells lovely, its organic and natural, plus I’m enjoying all the weird looks I get when I’m applying because of the strange egg shape!

I will definitely be repurchasing and I found a place where I can buy in the UK! (Follow the LINK)

Hope you had a good day
