NOTD - Primark Nail Foils

When i saw these in Primark i just couldnt resist, and the fact they were a £1 just made them all the more appealing - i mean i really had nothing to lose did i ?

They were the easiest things ever to put on, you simple find one that fits your nail, stick it on and file the excess off. Simples. They look amazing, and everywhere i went people were complimenting them!

The only problem is they chip SO easily. These lasted 2 days maximum before i had to take them off. To test things out when i applied them, i put a top coat on one hand, but it really made no difference.

Overall, i will definitely repurchase these, however ill only put them on for a particular event, as they don't really last making it pointless to put them on for the average day. I really recommend these, but id get there quick, they're never in stock for long!

NOTD - Barry M Mint Green

I understand you're probably not interested in this in the slightest, because lets face it - every man and his dog is wearing this nail polish at the minute. But i didn't want to be left out did i? 

This is actually my second bottle of this, and holds very dear memories for me as i bought it a few of years ago in the summer before i started college, where everything was exciting and my life was changing.

This is the perfect colour for spring, and yet again my all time favourite nail brand Barry M have not disappointed (well they never would, would they).

The only thing about this polish is i always find i need to plan what I'm going to wear, as its not the sort of colour that goes with everything.

Needless to say this will always be one of my favourites, and i will continue to use this until i need another bottle!

NOTD - OPI Mod About You (my all time fave)

This is my all time favourite nail polish. It was (nearly) my first OPI and i bought it because i had seen it in MissBudgetBeauty 's video, and despite her warning about the quality, i couldnt resist. I did however spend months looking for a cheaper dupe, and i bought far too many pink polishes, to no avail. So i finally caved in and bought this.

It has ABSOLUTELY NO STAYING POWER, it chips after a day, not even that long sometimes.  Ive tried all sorts of top coats on this but nothing works, i simply have to carry it around in my handbag, covering up the chips as i go.

Having said that, its totally worth it, because the colour is like nothing else out there (that i could find). Its basically disney princess pink - if you put this alongside disney princess pink its an exact match i promise. (And i love disney princesses)

This is perfect for spring, but to be honest i love it so much ive worn it nearly every month since i got it no matter what time of the year. I really cant recommend this enough, if youre a girly girl or want to embrace the pastel season that is upon us, you cant afford not to buy this!

By the way if anyone can help me increase the staying power of this id really appreciate it, as ive heard other OPI's last forever!

Boots and Superdrug spring Haul

I caved in ! I had points and vouchers and i just couldn't help myself ! :( Please don't make me feel bad, we all have little slips when we are supposed to be saving don't we?
Anyway, here's what i got..

 Fearne Cotton's makeup range is STILL 75% off in Boots, although admittedly there isn't much left! The palette which was supposed to be £12 cost me £3, and the nail polish was £1.37, rather than £5.50. I already have another of these polishes and they are GREAT!

 These are currently 2 for £3 in Superdrug, and although i pretty much have every shade of nail varnish possible, i couldn't resist. These are perfect travel size, and for touching up on the go, not to mention how kind they are to your purse !

 I LOVE these. I already have Cotton Candy 1, and i just had to have these. At £2.99 each they're lovely and cheap, and this finish they give is gorgeous. I love these so much I'm going to do a full review, so watch out for that!

 What would a trip to Superdrug be without picking up a few MUA essentials? I love their black liquid eyeliner, so i picked up the dark brown one (shade 6), and whilst at the stand realised i don't have a clear lipgloss, causing shade 1 to fall into my basket, oops!

  These are the best lipgloss colours ever, however they're quite sheer when applied, but for a £1 each i am more than happy. The only bug bare about these is the smell. Everyone else will love them, but they remind me of an air freshener my mum used to use when we used to go away EVERY weekend in the caravan, despite the fact i just wanted to go the cinema or shopping with my friends like every other 13 year old. Anyway back to the topic at hand.. the shades i got are Shade 1, Shade 4 and Shade 5

 Ive never tried Posie Tint by Benefit, but I've heard this being compared to it. My skin has been a little dry these winter months, so i figured this could be better for my skin than a powdered blusher, only thing is, I'm not quite sure how to use it...

This is all Laura Jayn's fault. She recently did a post about nude lipsticks (here) and 17 are currently 3 for 2 in Boots, so i couldn't resist. Beehive cost £4.59, and Dreamy cost £4.29, which isn't too bad as lipsticks last forever don't they! I am in love with both these colours, and although they look pretty much the same in the photo, they aren't (expect a review and swatches soon). Infact these are going straight in my handbag for the rest of spring!

 With the 3 for 2 offer, this blush was actually free, but it usually costs £3.49, very purse friendly! I couldn't really capture the brightness of this blush, its a really shocking coral colour, so this might be a bit of disaster for me at first (i must think about building up small layers!) Its also perfect travel size, and the packaging feels really expensive!

Surprise surprise i had yet another no7 voucher from spending all this money, so i thought id just bite the bullet and spend it right away! I have too many red polishes as it is, but i quite like the fact my no7 nail polish collection is slowly growing thanks to all these vouchers, so i couldn't resist! This is usually £7, but with my voucher it cost £2 (you all know the score)




So that was my little spring haul, which will probably be my last for a few weeks (hopefully)! Expect reviews, and swatches of all these products, as i can't wait to test them out.
