Barry M Nail Varnish Review

I apologise this picture doesn't show my full nails in the colour I completely forgot to take a picture before I did the flowers! The base colour is the Barry M Nail Polish.

Hey guys! I hope you all had a lovely bank holiday weekend (if you're in the UK anyway!). I've officially fallen in love with nail varnish (is that okay, am I allowed to do that?). I've always loved Barry M nail varnishes for the colour range, formula and price! At £2.99 for the normal range and £3.99 for the 'special' ones (foils, gellys, glitters etc) you can't go wrong. This one is from the Gelly range which is £3.99. They claim to give a 'glossy gel like finish with just one coat' which I believe they do. This one is a beautiful cornflower blue colour which will look lovely in the summer. The formula is great, it goes on so smoothly! If you're in a rush you could probably get away with one coat but for it to look its best you really need two coats. Its drying time is pretty quick too which is good as it means you don't spend half an hour flapping your arms about like a mad woman trying to get it to dry. I really recommend this polish or any of the others colours from the Barry M Gelly range as there are some beautiful ones!

Race For Life!

On Saturday the 18th May I took part in the Race For Life with my Mum, Best Friend and her Mum. It was such a fun day out and it made it so much more special that we were doing it for such a great cause. I did the 5k race which is about 3 miles. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going be although I did walk a lot of the way! It was so fun doing it with my best friend and I really felt a sense of achievement for completing the race and donating money to Cancer Research UK as it's such an amazing charity! Cancer is an issue close to a lot of peoples hearts and I think events like this really raise awareness and inspire people to band together and wipe out this illness! I really recommend doing the Race For Life as soon as you can as I can guarantee you'll love it!

Space Girl Review

I've had a few bath bombs from Lush before but I've never tried Space Girl. There's a first time for everything though so I decided to try this out. I swear I was in space heaven when I used this! It turned my bath a beautiful lilac colour with a small amount of red glitter. There probably could of been more glitter for my liking but the purple colour was so perfect I was okay with it. It claimed to have popping candy in it and there was but again there could of been more. The smell was the best thing though. It smelt like palma violets (which are my favourite sweets ever) and I genuinely think I was in heaven! I really recommend this bath bomb as it was only £2.10 from Lush which is so cheap!

P.S If you're feeling nice, give me a follow me on bloglovin' :-)

Kate Moss Lipstick Review

Hola! I'm going to be doing a review today. I'm so excited about this I'm getting a little sweaty - okay maybe that's not true but you get my drift. The Rimmel Kate Moss Lasting Finish lipsticks are loved muchly all over the interweb. After a 45 minute trip to Boots I came out with my purchase and I was dying to try it. I got shade 16 which is a light pink but quite a bright one with hints of coral. The packaging is good for a drugstore brand featuring Kate's 'signature' and the engraved Rimmel crown on the top. The lid also gives a really satisfying 'click' when you shut it (sad I know) It goes onto my lips so smoothly and doesn't dry them at all. It's so creamy and beautiful ahh. It does slightly cling to flaky patches on your lips but a quick scrub beforehand will deal with that. It has a sheen finish and isn't in anyway matte. It lasts around 2 or 3 hours but obviously it all depends on how much you eat, drink, lick your lips etc. It was £5.49 which I think is an amazing price as it's so so good! (Oh and it's smells fabulous as well) :-)

P.S. When I went to add the photos I realised I'd forgotten a swatch. Again. I will learn soon.

P.P.S I'm saving up for a better camera, bear with me please :-)
