NOTD #2

 Just simple NOTD featuring a beautiful pastel coloured polish that I picked up for a pound in the poundshop! (Oh really becca I would have never guessed..)

I knew I just had to get it.

 It's in the colour blue lagoon and as it is my first Revlon polish (I'm a Barry M kinda girl), I was quite surprised by the constancy not being to watery plus the brush was the perfect size to apply the polish somewhat 'neatly' also it dried rather quick. So there's not much to complain about for pound but of course me being me I always find something.

In the bottle the colour has this gorgeous pale blue shimmeryness to it but on the nails NOTHING :(. 

So although that was a little disappointing its nothing a small particle glitter polish can't sort out. 

 

 

I always use the top coat from No7 and the Barry M all in one, such amazing necessities and their not super expensive either!

 

So there you have it another nail of day complete with a furry background thanks to my lovely dog!

A Few Recent Purchases...

 These are just a few accidental purchases made in the past few weeks, I guess I got my spending bug back.

 

 I'm not a big spender when it comes to high end make-up, I just don't feel ready to dip my toe into the deep end and waste money when I don't really have much of it to spend on things I might not even like.... so cheap and cheerful is what I'll stick too for now.

MUA Matte Perfect Foundation-Shine Control

MUA Cover & Conceal Concealer

MUA Extreme Felt Eyeliner

Just a few bits to spruce up the lips... 

Plus an an amazing duo chrome nail polish from Miss Sporty.

 

 The pink shade is by Natural Collection in Pink Mallow

The red one is in the colour Crimson.

 Now I only needed to repurchase the blotting sheets but I mean come on you can't just buy two things when you can get a free gift worth £9 can you? Well I know I cant ha.

Elf eyelash & brow wand,

Elf brow and brush comb,

Two elf shine eraser sheets,

Elf Blush in the colour blushing,

Elf Sheer eyelid primer

 

Elf waterproof eye-liner pen in black and purple.

The elf contouring blush and bronzing powder in Turks & Caicos.
 

FGW!

 Now for the amazing part my first ever faux leather jacket! How exciting eh? After bidding and bidding some more then loosing at the last minute on eBay for one, I gave up with the hope of finding a brand new one on the high street and that I did. This was originally £30.00 from H&M but for some reason they had a deal on selected items for 50% off new releases so even if I do say so myself what a bargain.

 Casual bag-winged style slouch cardigan from Internationale.

 

 I love love love this dress... also from Internationale!

 

 

 A purchase from eBay I actually won!

I do own a khaki coloured one of these dresses but after a night out its not very wearable anymore but I love the style and it will be perfect to wear in summer if it ever arrives!

 

Next up is a jacket that was also 50% off at H&M  I featured on similar in my passion for fashion post here

which was a little on the pricey side so this was my alternative for a fraction of the price at £15.

(the colour's also a lot more lime'y the picture doesn't do it justice!)

  

Last of all another dress from Internationale that just screams summer don't-cha think?

Look out for reviews on most things in this 'haul' coming soon!

Models Own Toxic Apple Review

So a few weeks ago Models Own brought out the oh so amazing Fruit Pastel and Ice Neon collections, upon browsing as well as lusting over them both I realised I actually own one of the polishes from the neon nail collection in the colour Toxic Apple.

I'm not overly sure but by reading the description online the neon's are packaged in frosted bottles..

'The only way to keep fluoro really bright is to KEEP IT COLD! We've packed this collection in specially-designed frosted bottles that you should keep refrigerated to protect the intense fluoro colour from fading. These on-trend neon shades bring summer alive with fluoro flavour, bold and bright'

Which the one I have isn't but nevertheless it's still green and neon so guess there's not so much difference after all.

The colour is pretty intense traffic stopping in fact, (ok not so much but eye catching at the very least)

and it's a great addition to your collections right now what with the neon trends making there presence known once again, but there's something I have to say I'm not the biggest fan of the formula I just find them that little bit too runny/too watery side for my liking, I even find the brush to long to be able to control the amount you actually put on your nail and for this particular polish a base-coat is ESSENTIAL, otherwise it'll look like you've been doing a spot of gardening.

So although the Models Own paints aren't my first choice of polish there bearable and I guess reasonably priced at £5.

What are your thoughts on the Models Own Polishes?
