BEAUTY FAVOURITES: JANUARY

Hello everyone! First of all can you honestly believe that today is the last day of January already? Even though this month is always seems to be the most depressing, i have still had a pretty great January for a change. Getting to the point seeing as tomorrow is the first day of a new month, i thought there would be no better way to end the current month by talking about my beauty favourites from the month of January.


Over the past year or so i have grew to become the biggest fan of liquid highlighters, as they can be used in so many different ways. You can apply them to the face as a base, add a drop or two into your foundation or simply apply a small amount to the highest points of the face and blend out with your finger or a beauty blender. Earlier in the month i did a full first impressions/review post on the newest MUA launch in their luxe range, this product might sound like a mouthful once said out loud but it is one that is a must-try and did i mention for such a stunning product it will only set you back £5? (currently on offer at Superdrug for £4). My go-to/favourite shade is the shade marvel, which is a really beautiful bronze-ish almost rose-golden shade. 


This is a product that i have been using religiously when needed since just before Christmas, yet it is something i am yet to mention in a post until now. Back in December i had found my skin breaking out a little more than the odd one and i think it was down to all the festive food during that month. When i get a breakout it tends to stick around for longer than it is welcome, which is beyond annoying and it was time i did something about it. After hearing so many great reviews about this specific drying lotion by Mario Badescu, i finally decided to give it a whirl and i can now see what all the fuss is about as it is so effective and works quickly. All you do is first of don't be tempted to shake the bottle, dip a cotton bud into the solution then apply the to breakout and leave it over night to work its magic. The only down-side to this product is it absolutely stinks of a quite strong chemically smell, but you can't smell it for long and it does dry fairly fast.


Unlike the drying lotion, this is actually a product that i have already mentioned a couple of times in two separate posts. This is something i have really been enjoying using on my hair whenever i wash it and i also noticed an instant result from after the first use, as my hair looked more healthy, shiny and reduced the appearance of any breakages i had. I also love how this is such a quick and easy product to use, as you don't have to wash it out unlike a lot of hair treatments. I highly recommend this to anyone who has long hair, as i do!  


Finally a nail polish that i have been wearing on my nails repeatedly this month and one that i talked about in a nail polishes i couldn't be without post. These nail polishes from Rimmel are perfect if you are feeling lazy or don't have time to wait for them to dry, as they dry in 60 seconds and come in this super shine finish which leaves you with that salon gel nail finish. The shade lets get nude is the post beautiful light pale-creamy beige nude colour, which is perfect for me as 95% of the time i always opt for a nude nail colour and i never get bored of this one. A similar alternative to this nail polish is essie's spin the bottle, which is my most worn nail polish.

Have a lovely weekend...

NEUTRAL NAILS | THE NAIL POLISHES I COULDN'T BE WITHOUT

Hello everyone! The title of this post probably will not come as a surprise to some, especially if you already know how obsessed i am with nude/neutral shades, whether that be neutral clothing, nude lipsticks and of course nail polishes. We all having those moments i am sure when we either think about it or are asked what products we couldn't be without, if everything was to go except for a select few. With that in mind for today's post i thought i would share with you the nail polishes i couldn't be without, which are basically my go-to polishes.


I am a huge fan of Barry M nail polishes in general and i have an overly obsessive amount in my collection, but of course it is the nudes that are my favourites. This is actually the shade i have been wearing on my nails recently and it is the most beautiful caramel/peachy-y nude shade perfectly named Peanut Butter, this is a shade i mentioned in a limited edition products i wish were permanent post as this polish is almost identical to the shade i mentioned i love called Beachy Keen, also by Barry M in collaboration with Boots. 

Another ultimate favourite of mine from Barry M is one from their coconut infusion finish collection, this time in the shade surfboard (which always makes me want to sing drunk in love by beyoncé). Surfboard is more on the light pink side rather than a true neutral shade but it is still a very wearable shade. What i love about this particular formula is that it is super hydrating/nourishing on your nails, as it is infused with a mixture of coconut water and coconut oil, with a gel-like glossy finish.


Ok, so this is probably the nail polish i have re-purchased the most over the years, as it is such a classic/staple nude or neutral polish to have in your collection. Spin The Bottle is the most perfect pale creamy-beige nude and is one i always reach for, if i am lacking inspiration or can't decide on a colour. The thing i love the most about Essie, is that they are the polishes that probably last the longest on my nails without chipping.

Talking of classic nail polish shades this particular shade is another classic, in fact so much so it is the Queen's polish of choice (how cool is that?). Ballet Slippers is more on the sheer side when it comes to the finish of the polish, but it can be built up to be the most beautiful super pale pink shade and just like the shade Spin The Bottle is super long-wearing on my nails. If you are looking for the perfect bridal/wedding nail colour, i would highly recommend opting for a shade like this one.


rimmel rita ora 60 seconds super shine nail polish in the shade too cool
Finally i have two nail polishes from Rimmel and both are perfect for achieving that super quick manicure, as they dry in 60 seconds (per coat). The first shade is from the Rita Ora collection, named Too Cool and it is the most gorgeous pale creamy baby blue shade. What makes me love this shade so much, is how amazing it looks with a tan and it is always handy to keep some quick dry polishes for the times you need to paint them in a rush.

rimmel 60 seconds nail polish in the shade let's get nude
Another dry in 60 seconds polish from Rimmel but this time just like the Spin The Bottle polish by Essie, we have another true nude shade and one that would be perfect for any occasion. The only difference between the two polishes is that this one is a slightly paler nude, but still has a warm undertone to it. Rimmel nail polishes are such a steal for the quality, as they retail for only £2.99 and more often than not, Superdrug/Boots have them on a "buy one, get one half off" or "3 for 2" offer.

MY MOST WORN DRUGSTORE NAIL POLISHES

Hello everyone! It has been quite a while since i last did any form of nail post, as well as a drugstore dedicated post on my blog, so i thought i would do something a little different and share with you my most worn nail polishes from the drugstore. Since i majorly downsized my nail polish collection, you will notice a theme that the majority of the polishes are all nudes/neutral colours, as that is just the style of nails i am living for at the moment.


If you caught my go-to nude nail polishes post or my mid-2017 most read posts post, then you will probably already know that this particular shade is probably my favourite nail polish of all time. This particular shade is a pale pastel almost pink toned nude shade, with a quick dry finish and i have gone through multiple bottles of it that is just how obsessed with it i am, even though it does have competition now. (RRP £2.99)

So for you can probably tell two things, i am all about the speed dry because i am impatient when it comes to waiting for nails to dry and also i love barryM nail polish ha. This top coat is literally my favourite top coat of all time, it is even better than the Essie gel couture top coat which i was obsessed with until i tried this one and it is also a lot less expensive. (RRP £2.99)

This is the particular nail polish i was talking about above and it made winning streak have some serious competition for my favourite nude polish. This shade cutely named peanut butter is the most beautiful caramel-y/peachy toned nude, perfect for summer on both your nails and toes. This particular formula of polish from barryM lasts so long on my nails, in fact it has lasted up to two weeks before which is amazing for me. (RRP £3.99)

Ok i promise this is the last barryM nail polish for this post, this particular one from the coconut infusion range happens to me by favourite out of all the ones i own. This shade called surfboard is the most beautiful shade of pink, perfect for summer like a lot of the shades in the collection. The formula of this particular range is not only nourishing on the nails, but also just like the gelly formula super long-wearing. (RRP £4.99)


This particular nail polish from Essie is the same formula as the top coat i was talking about above, but obviously in a nail colour. This shade called touch up is the most unique pale almost mauve toned pink, which i really like as i am not into the traditional purple shades. This particular formula of nail polish is my mum's favourite as they last so much longer on her nails than others, as usually nail polish chips super fast on her. (RRP £9.99)

This nail polish by Essie is another one of my favourite nude polishes and another one that i have gone through multiple bottles off, that's how much i love it. This shade called spin the bottle is the most perfect pale creamy beige toned nude and either this one or the shade ballet slippers would make the perfect wedding day nail colour. Just like all the Essie nail polishes they last super long on my nails without chipping. (RRP £7.99)

I am not 100% sure but i don't think they stock this particular shade in boots or superdrug anymore, but a couple of places online still stock it including the essie website. This shade cascade cool is the perfect creamy yet almost barbie-like pink polish with a slight cool blue under-tone to it, another one great for the summer months and if you are wanting a slight change from your typical go-to nudes ha ha! (RRP £7.99)

Finally we have probably my favourite shade out of all of my Sally Hansen nail polishes, as it is the most neutral shade (i have a lot of vampy/dark shades from the brand). I have noticed this particular shade called mauve along looks different on different people, some people it looks more purple yet on me it looks more pink/nude and i don't know if that is just the bottle i own or cause of my skin-tone? (RRP £6.99)

NUDE NAILS

Hey guys, i hope you are all having an amazing day whatever you are up to! Yesterday i went to go and get my infills done on my nails, which i get re done every three weeks. This set of infills came just in time as i have a few parties/evenings out planned (you know how it is you have to have your nails looking nice). I wanted to go for something pretty neutral yet still with some kind of design rather than just plain painted, so they will go with any outfit that i decide on wearing...


On my nails:

Calgel and then Base Coat Nail Polish
Rimmel Rita Ora Nail Polish in the shade Lose Your Lingerie (plain nails)
Sinful Nail Polish in the shade Gold Digger (accent nails)
Sinful Nail Polish in the shade Confession (white design)
45 Seconds Top Coat Nail Polish
