Mini Boots Haul


Hey guys! Today's post is a mini boots haul. I only got two things because as you already might know from reading my July beauty wishlist I am going to study in France for four months so I'm saving up most of my money for that, but also in that post I said that I would treat myself to at least one of those items before I left for France. The two items that I got were The Original Tangle Teezer and the Tony & Guy Casual Sea Salt Texturising Spray. I decided to get these two items instead of some of the others in my July beauty wishlist because I needed some new hair stuff to bring with me to France and thought I might as well splurge a little a get the things that I've been wanting for a while.

The Tangle Teezer I got was the last one left in Boots which meant I had to get it. It was very expensive at €15.99 but I've wanted to try it out for a while now so I got it. I have already used it this morning and it does brush all the knots and tangles out of your hair faster than a normal brush so it was worth it :)

I got the Tony & Guy Sea Salt Texturising Spray for €8.99. I haven't tried it out yet but I'll make sure to do a review of it once I do. It is suppose to add a lot more texture to your hair and make it look less flat and limp so I looking forward to seeing how my hair turns out.

Hope you liked this post :) Have you got either of these products? What do you think of them? Leave a comment below.

NOTD: Pink and White Polka-Dot Nails


Hey Guys! Today's post is a nail of the day. I decided to do polka-dot nails because I love polka- dots and think they're really cute (as you might be able to tell from my blog :P ) To achieve these nails I first put on two coats of O.P.I's nail lacquer in the colour not so bora bora-ing pink and then used Essence's colour and go in the colour 02 white secret to do the dots. You could use any white nail varnish to do the dots. I did them using the brush, just wiping the excess of the side of the bottle and then using the corner of the brush to dot to colour on. I would also recommend a good clear top coat over the finished look to help to keep it from chipping.

Friday Favourite #13 Benefit's Sugarbomb Blush



Hey Guys! The weeks Friday Favourite is Sugarbomb blush by Benefit. It is one of the seven Box O' Powders by Benefit. This is probably my favourite blush by Benefit and definitely one of my favourite blushes for summer that I have. It consists of four different shades : A peachy tone, a sort of brownish plum colour, a rose pink and a sort of coral pink tone. You mix all these colours together to make one gorgeous shade. The packaging of this is really pretty (like all benefit products) and it comes with a little mirror in the top of the box and a small brush to apply it (Though I prefer to use one of my own blush brushes). It is one of Benefit's top sellers and according to their website suits all skin tones. 

It is very expensive though for a blush, as all the Benefit box o' powders are, for €34. I really do love this product and do think that I would repurchase it if it ever runs out, but if you do not have that much money to spend on makeup, I think that you could get away without it. I don't think that blush is a product that you really need to splurge on and that you could probably find a nice blush for a lot less money. If you do have the money, however, and like to spend a lot on your makeup, I would really recommend this blush. I wear it all the time and absolutely love it!!


Hope you liked this post :) You can buy Sugarbomb here on the Benefit website. Do you own any of Benefit's box o' powders? Which one? Leave a comment below.

Tag: Seven Deadly Sins Of Beauty


Hey Guys, I decided to do the seven deadly sins of beauty tag because I read one on Carrie's Blog today and thought it would be fun to do.

Greed- what is your most expensive beauty item?
My Mac 15 eyeshadow palette. It was around €200 but i got mostly neutral colours so I use it almost everyday.

Sloth- which product do you neglect the most due to laziness?
Probably gel or liquid eyeliner. It takes so long because I always want it perfect and it never goes on completely perfect so I sometimes end up having to re-do it :(

Wrath- which item do you have a love/hate relationship with?
Eyeliner, I hate it for the reason above in the last question but I do love how it looks when it's on right.

Gluttony- what brand makes up most of your make-up collection? 
Benefit. I love their products. My main primer, mascara, concealers, blush and highlighter are all from Benefit.

Pride- which product gives you the most confidence?
Mascara because it opens up your eyes and draws more attention to them :)

Lust- which item is at the top of your beauty wish list?
Nars sheer glow. I've heard amazing things about it.

Envy- Which makeup product/look is great on others but not yourself?
A bright red lip. I have tried it in the past but think it doesn't suit me and makes me look like a clown :P


Hope you liked this post xx I tag whoever wants to do this post :) Please leave a comment down below with a link to your blogpost if you do. I love reading them :)

Friday Favourite #12 Mac's Naked Lunch Eye Shadow


Hey Guys! Today's post is of my favourite eye shadow right now, well basically for the last six months since I got it. Naked Lunch by Mac. I absolutely love this eye shadow along with many others women it seems as this is one of Mac bestsellers for eye shadows. I first heard of this eye shadow when Tanya Burr did a video of her favourite Mac eye shadows which you can watch here. I actually bought every single one of those eye shadows after I watched it to put in my Mac 15 palette. I just love the colour Naked Lunch and use it all the time across the lid and then put any colour I want in the crease because is such a nice shimmery nude colour that any colour will go with it. 

One of the things I love the most about all Mac eye shadows is that they are really high quality, the colour lasts for so long that my eye makeup looks the same when I'm taking it off as after I just put it on. I know there are always cheaper alternatives for Mac products that are as good quality, or near enough to it, as Mac, but I really think that their eye shadows are the best. I haven't found any eye shadows as good quality as them.. yet :P I have already used this eye shadow in a blog post I did quite a while ago of my everyday makeup tutorial, pairing it with Mulch, also by Mac, in the crease. To see that blog post click here. 
Naked lunch across the lid, with Mulch in the crease and Nylon in the inner corner.

If you are intersted in buying this eye shadow, you can buy it here on the Mac website or click here to get it in pan form to add it to your palette :)
