You Make My Heart Sing

As you all know, over the last month or 2 I have been enjoying trying out different designs and patterns on my nails. I'd never had decent nails before (ex biter) so am completely new to this.

But here's my latest attempt...

I painted all my nails with a nude by Rimmel, used OMP by Nails Inc to do the spots on my ring finger and a tiny brush with a black Bourjois polish to do the outline of the spots. And that is the result. My friends thought I'd actually had Minx done. I would never have thought it would be so easy to create a little intricate design like this.

Bourjois 10 Hour Sleep Effect Foundation

A few weeks back I told you that I'd purchased Bourjois 10 Hour Sleep Effect foundation. This is the 1st Bourjois foundation I've tried. Lot's of you had raved about the Healthy Mix foundation so I thought I'd give this one a try...

sorry for the bad lighting in the photo :\

I've been wearing this almost everyday for the past couple of weeks now and I can definitely say I am a fan. It's a really light formulation and blends really easy into your skin. I only need maximum 3 pumps to cover my full face. It gives a lovely dewy glow without looking shiny. The coverage is medium, but buildable. I will happily wear this all day on it's own but if I want fuller coverage I sometime layer it with something else, like Maybelline 24hr Superstay.

It doesn't last all day, but it doesn't claim to.

It does however give a lovely fresh appearance to the skin, which is the aim...10 hours sleep. It's also enriched with vitamins and minerals to help your skin and it does have a really nice scent, but nothing too overpowering.

This is something I will definitely repurchase. Have you guys tried this foundation?

Boots Haulin'

Hello Gorgeous...

So this weekend I did my favourite kind of shop...A trip to Boots! Yay!

Just wanted to quickly show you the things I got.

I finally got my hands on The Umberto Giannini "Backcomb In  A Bottle". I'd seen it mentioned a few times by some other bloggers and really wanted to try it for myself. I'm going to try it when I go out this weekend and I'll let you know my thoughts.

I also wanted a new pair of lashes for this weekend, so after a lot of perusal I picked up the Girls Aloud Eyelure lashes in "Kimberley". These caught my eye as they were the most natural looking, I don't really like wearing big clumpy lashes.

I also picked up a new Barry M Nail Paint in "Navy". I really love my other Barry M paints so am very keen to add to my collection.

Whilst looking at the make up stands I noticed Bourjois 10 hour sleep effect foundation. I don't know if this is new or not, I can't recall seeing it thought. I got this in shade 72, Rose Clair. I'm keen to try this out and let you know what I think.

Finally, I noticed there were quite a few pieces of Boots Jewellery on sale for £1. I can't resist sale jewellery, so I was very happy. I picked up these little red flower studs, I think they'll be great for brightening up a black or dark outfit. Plus, at £1, they're a total steal.

Have any of you guys tried any of these products? What do you think?

Tiny Little Haul

Hey lovelies

Hope you have all recovered from the New Year frolics and are feeling nice and refreshed after a little break. I go back to work tomorrow and back to the mundanity of everyday life. And of course as I already mentioned, BACK TO THE GYM! Aaaah!

Just thought I'd share my tiny little shopping haul from the last few days. Enjoy.

1. Bourjois Delice de Poudre Bronzing Powder.

I really needed a new everyday bronzer as my Hoola is hitting pan so I picked up this Bourjois one, I really like the fact that it's quite light so no orange patches and there is some really subtle flecks of shimmer in it which add a lovely highlight to the face.

2. Barry M nail paints in Bright Purple & Grey.

Believe it or not, these are my first Barry M nail paints and so far I'm very impressed. Have been wearing the bright purple since New Years Eve and have not had to do any touch ups! I think this is incredible. I love the colour but I'm gonna take it off and re-paint in grey tonight.

3. Maybelline The Falsies Volum' Express Mascara.

I only purchased this today so haven't had the chance to try this out, but I have heard good things about it. Hopefully it will live up to the praise but I shall do a review on this very soon!

4. MUA Eyedust in shade 6.

I haven't tried any of the MUA eye dusts yet so picked up this lovely colour. It's a kind of greyish purple but has tiny pink and green shimmery reflects in it. It swatches beautifully so I am very keen to actually try it out.

Have you guys tried any of these products?

Love
