Recent Purchases!

Hello again, 

Today I'm simply just going to share with you a few things I've bought recently!

Soap & Glory Archery Brow Tint & Precision Shaping Pencil

You may have heard of this on YouTube channels such as Zoella and Velvetgh0st (that's how I heard about it!) and when they say it's amazing, believe them - it is! The pen end is really precise and the pencil end is good for just adding a bit of extra colour! Mine is in the shade 'Brownie Points' and I must say, extra brownie points go to Soap & Glory for this product and the shade name haha! It costs £10.

Soap & Glory Supercat eyeliner 

This liner is in felt tip form, making it easy for everyone to apply, even if you aren't the best at eyeliner. It costs £6, so it's very affordable!

Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick

You may also have heared about this on YouTube channels such as Fleur De Force and Velvetgh0st, which is how I heard about it, and it looked absolutely gorgeous on them, so I decided to pick it up, and I do not regret it at all! It smells amazing, it is glossy and just beautiful! It costs £8, I really recommend it, I have it in the shade 'nudist'.

Revlon Matte and Lacquer Balms

The lacquer balm is in the shade 'Coquette', which is a beautiful bright pink, and the matte balm is in the shade 'unapologetic' which is an even brighter pink (You could say it's slightly coral). They are both very moisturising even the matte one, and they come in a large range of colours!

Barry M Matte Top Coat

This Barry M top coat is perfect if you want to experiment with the popular matte nail trend, you just paint your nails with whatever colour you want, apply this in place of your regular polish and there you go! Gorgeous matte nails! 

W7 In The Nude Palette 

This palette is an amazing dupe for the Naked 3 palette, with gorgeous pink-toned colours. The shadows are very pigmented and there's a mixture of matte and shimmer. It's very affordable, at only £7 it's a whole £30 less than one of the Urban Decay Naked palettes! There's also 'in the buff' which is a great dupe for the Naked 2 palette, again at the same price! You can buy them at next, if your next sells W7 makeup, or I think you can buy them on Amazon too!

I hope you've enjoyed this blogpost,

Let me know what you think of any of these products! 

Lots of love,

Daisy Nails!

Last august, I did daisy nails, they went down very well and I was asked for a tutorial sort of thing, so here's how you do them, please excuse the very old photos haha!

What I used: 

Sally Hansen Maximum Growth Daily Nail Treatment 

Ruby Hammer Recommends (for debenhams) white tip nail polish

A yellow Barry M limited edition nail paint, which has no name but you can use any colour you want for this bit!

Barry M Gelly Hi Shine nail paint in Greenberry 

A cuticle stick with a pointed end or a cocktail stick

1. Apply a base coat to your nails to prevent staining and to keep your nails healthy!

2. Dip the cuticle stick into some white polish and make five white dots of nail polish, in a circle , all of a similar size (don't worry if these don't look very neat at the moment!)

3. Wipe the nail polish off the cuticle stick or get another one, place it in the middle of one of the white dots and drag in towards the centre of the circle of white dots. Repeat this with all the dots so it looks like they join at the centre and you can do this a few times on different bits of your nail, I did it three times, you can do it more or less depending on the length of your nails.

4. Using your cuticle stick again, dip the pointed end into your yellow polish (or whatever colour you have decided to use) and put a dot in the centre of your flowers.

5. This is the step I found hardest to show you in a photograph, but take your other colour,mine is a green-blue, and make little swirls as stems and leaves of your flower. 

6. Let the design fully dry and apply a top coat to seal in your design and make it last longer!

Of course you don't have to use the same colours as I did, you could have a pink flower or a yellow flower it's totally up to you! You could also just do it on one nail as your accent nail, like the nails in my previous blogpost!

I was pretty amazed that I could still do the design after nearly a year haha;)

I really hope you enjoyed this little nail tutorial thing, as much as I did playing around with this cute design! 

Let me know what you think, are there any more nail designs you'd like me to try out?

Have fun trying this out on yourself and your friends!

Lots of love,

Hair, Nails and Outfit of the Day!

Today, I thought I'd try something a little different and do an outfit post, but I'm including my hair and nails today as well!

The outfit! 

I'm wearing an oversized white top with a cute little pocket on it which is from pink, a blue bandeau from new look, a pair of leggings and black shoes, it's been a very warm day here so I just wanted something simple and comfy, that won't be too warm!

Nails!

I did daisy nails this morning (I'll post the blogpost for them soon) and I used the matte topcoat from Barry M just because I felt like trying after buying it yesterday!

Hair!

For my hair, I left it natural and added a Lace Braid on one side to make it more interesting. When you're doing a lace braid, instead of taking new pieces of hair from both sides like I'm a French plait, you take hair from only one side! 

I seem to be including my pets at the end of all my blogposts now, I promise I'll stop (eventually). Florence just looked too cute when she was sat with me while I was doing my nails this morning!

I hope you enjoyed this little blogpost, please let me know if you want to see more like this!

Lots of love,
