NOTD - Fruity Glitter !

L.A Colours - Jewel Tone

Collection 2000 - Fruit Salad

This is has fast become one my favourite combinations for summer, its the perfect peachy pinky coral shade (which seems to be the 'in' colour this year) and the sparkle just makes this that little bit more fun, and suitable for night time too!

Putting the glitter top coat on meant this lasted a WEEK, which is very good going in my eyes! The shimmer this gives off when in the sun is something you just don't get when you wear glitter at christmas time.

I must admit i LOVE the Fruit Salad without the glitter, and thats probably the more versatile option if you're fashion forward, but i think this just goes to show you don't have to save all your glitters for the festive season - they can add a touch of sparkle to your summer too!

Collective Haul

This haul is wayyyyyy overdue, but I've basically had some important deadlines for university, had to quit my job, and try and get everything organised, so its been a bit hectic the past few weeks!

These are my new love. They are £4.99 each, and they are the best thing ever! Ive already done a post using Magnetic Blue, but there will be many more to come !

These are stunning, the silvery lilac reminds me of a mermaid, its got so many colours in it, and although i wouldn't say its a typical spring colour, i can't wait to wear this and differ from the usual pastels you see at this time of year.

Denim has so much glitter in it, i can't wait to see if it appears the same on my nails!

Im currently trying to find an eye primer that compares to Lemonaid by Benefit, so when i saw this for £1.49 i couldn't resist! This was from Boyes.

I initially went into Boots to purchase the Maybeline Colour Tattoos every man and his dog are raving about, but that didn't quite go to plan! The 17 stand was right next to Maybeline, and seeing the 17 Wild Metallics Eyes in a realllyyyy similar colour (and a cheaper price) i opted for this. And seen as 17 were on 3 for 2, i couldn't resist picking up 3 things! 

These little nail art stickers were around £1, for 10 of these little sheets, each with different stickers! I got these off Ebay, and I've already tried some, so expect a post very soon! 

Ive been watching numerous videos and posts about Ciate nails and their new collection, but i just cannot afford £18 for some little beads. There are so many tutorials on YouTube, and one i came across said she bought the tiny beads off Ebay for £1.99 a packet, so i followed suit! The bags are really quite big, and have so much more in them than the Ciate nail polish bottle. I can't wait to give these a go!

These were around 99p from Ebay also, and they are nail transfers - I've never tried these before, and think they'd look really good over red or yellow polish. Stay tuned to find out!!

And finally...

My easter present.....

This perfume smells GORGEOUS. Im not actually a fan of Justin Bieber, but this was a gift, and the perfume is so sweet and fresh, i cannot stop wearing it!

For all you Biebster fans... 

I am the luckiest blogger ever! Brilliant Haul

I started my blog because i wanted to write about beauty products, as i figured i was trying and testing so many out, and believe me i had a lot of opinions! Seeing a new follower makes my day, thats like a gift in itself, so imagine my excitement when i actually received my very own personalised beauty box from the beautiful Laura-Jayn . (If anything is to come out of this post, let it be the fact you check out her blog, its brilliant, and very down to east, just like herself.)

So anyway, i thought id share with you exactly what i got, and I'm already in the process of reviewing these products, which be in later posts!

 I have a yankee petal burner (ill probably do a seperate post on this - its amazing) and basically you light the tee light, and put these tarts in the petal and they melt and give off the most amazing scents ever! The vanilla lime smells just like a Shamrock Shake (from McDonalds) i had in New York - hopefully someone will know what I'm talking about! Basically these smell good enough to eat, its probably only a matter of time knowing what I'm like!

 Ive never even heard of these, i had no idea OPI did hand creams, where have i been? My middle name is Jasmine, so I love anything with this on, it smells so summery, yet really light at the same time. The crisp apple I'm going to start using now because it smells just like spring!

 I have a confession about this one. This has been on my want list for quite some time after purchasing the mascara version, but i just couldn't justify spending around £18 (i think) on this one product, when i didn't really know what it was like. Imagine my delight when i opened this! I CANNOT wait to try this, i haven't even put it in my drawers yet, its got pride of place on my dresser :)

 Im unsure of what make these are, but if you ask Laura-Jayn i guarantee she will get back to you! When it comes to lipgloss, I'm all about the pink, so these colours are perfect, and they smell sooooo nice - they've got a real girly flowery scent to them. (I know that makes no sense, but feel free to use your imagination!)

 I actually picked up one of these in a set at Boots in the January sales, as i had points to spend, but i actually ended up getting a Strictly Come Dancing palette instead (random yes) so I'm really pleased about receiving this! Also, my aunty uses this brand, and she only uses really good things, so i have complete confidence in this! ;)

 What i love about Dead Sea Spa is the purity of the products. There's very little scent, but quality is really up there. I think people might have received these in their GlossyBox's maybe? Im sure I've seen some reviews of this in GlossyBox posts! I love exfoliating because i dance everyday, so it really helps me keep fresh! 

She knows me too well! I have so much nail polish, however Laura-Jayn managed to send me shades i haven't got, I'm still in shock!

(L-R) London, Jemima, and Sadie

Again, as these were gifts i don't know where they are from, I've not seen them in my local area at all, but I'm sure Laura-Jayn will comment and tell you!

(L-R) Glistening Purple, and Jewel Tone  - I've already had a play with these, and they are the best glitters I've ever used. Enough said (well I'm going to do a post, but ya know!)

 Im a firm believer of mixing it up when it comes to nail polish. So i tend to wear a really bright polish, then a more subtle one, same with lights and darks etc. These colours look perfect for a natural subtle look.
(L-R) French Nail-Pink, Breathless Blue

(L-R) Paradise Pink, Dark Denim, Rasberry

As with lip glosses, i LOVE pink nails, and i think the purple glitter will go really well over Rasberry, i just can't wait to try them all!

Last but not least, a Models Own in Magenta Pearl - i tried to capture the colours running through this, but it was so difficult as there are so many, and as you move the polish bottle, the colours change - magical!

So there we go, how lucky am i? I just want to say thank you so much Laura-Jayn, this was such a lovely surprise, me and my sister were opening everything screaming with excitement! I cannot wait to try all these things, every single product was thoughtful, and i can't say how grateful i am. 

Ive started collecting things for you in return, so you'll have a little spring themed makeup kit in your hands in the near future!
