TRICKS UP ESSIE's SLEEVE

As a beauty lover of course I watch YouTube videos and see what the latest products are out there. There are some products that I would love to try out but are sadly not available here in the UK. 

Essie has these two products 'Disappearing Trick' & 'Smooth Trick' out in the USA and according to other youtube gurus and bloggers, these products are amazing! So I had to try get a hold of them. I had them shipped to the UK from the USA. 

For manicures or pedicures I usually use a cuticle softener that is very popular in the Philippines and that was all I knew whilst growing up. It is a solution that comes in different sizes of bottles and then put into an empty nail polish bottle/brush or poured into the cap and used with a cotton bud. I decided to switch it up and try something new so thought why not gives Essie a go.

I have been trying these two as part of a new nail regime for roughly about 3 weeks and so far I have been really enjoying them. It is much more simpler plus faster to what I was using before and just as effective. If you can get your hand on these two then I definitely recommend them... IF ONLY ESSIE MADE THEM AVAILABLE IN THE UK!!! 

If you would like a tutorial or review / first impression please let me know & as always if you know a good cuticle softener/remover I would love to know.

BOOTS PACKAGE

A few days ago I had made an order from boots. I was anxious to open and try the products inside!!!

I am currently 27 years old and I feel that I am getting old. I know that a few people may be thinking 'woman you are not old!' but trust me... I feel and see my skin losing its elasticity and lines starting to appear! Yes, being a makeup lover does not help at all and no, I cannot stop time but that does not stop me from trying to slow it down or at least trying to control it HAHAHA!!! I have decided to try and look after my skin better than I have currently been doing.

NOTD (nails of the day)

Don't you think this colour is Mauve-Vellous!!!

SPRING LOOK ^_^

Hello readers!!! Today is such a dull & gloomy day when it's meant to be spring right now. I swear the weather here in London is bipolar lol!!! One day the sun is out then it's raining or even snowing! So I thought to brighten up the mood by creating this wearable spring look. Hope you guys like it. Let me know if you want a tutorial or a list of products that I used. Have a great day xoxo

FACE WIPES I RECOMMEND

When it comes to removing my makeup for the day I tend to use face wipes to remove the majority of the makeup and then continue with my facial regime for the night. I will encourage everyone to not just use face wipes and leave it at that!!! THAT IS A NO NO! 

However I do understand that with a few situations, doing a whole cleansing regime can not happen or will be difficult. A great example is after clubbing when you are a hot mess and can barely stand up... you will need a quick fix for sure!

MAYBELLINE ROCKET VOLUM' EXPRESS

I love, love, love how Maybelline mascaras work well with my type of eyelashes. I previously have tried two of their mascaras and still to this day I keep using them. I was quite hesitant to try another as it couldn't possibly perform a 'hat trick' with me... or can it?

ALL ABOUT MANHATTAN!

It's a new week which means fresh paint on my nails =)

The colour is called 'Fifth Avenue' by Essie and I would definitely say that this is a statement colour that oozes classic luxury and hotness!!! I love that all I needed was one coat of the colour which makes it so convenient if your in a hurry and need something quick. I have also used a base and top coat in the picture shown.

Fifth Avenue itself crosses Midtown Manhattan which is filled with the most prestigious shops... So girl if you're there doing your shopping, you must be balling!!! Forbes magazine has also ranked it 'the most expensive street in the world'. There's some random info for ya lol xoxox

THE NEW THING IN...

I was looking through Instagram & came across a post introducing these cool shadow shields!

A lot of us beauty lovers know how annoying it can be when fallout hits our ready made face or on our clients. We have all tried many ways to stop this from happening... Using tissue, scotch tape etc. Finally someone has come up with a solution :) Well done!!!

They are doing a giveaway on Instagram so make sure to follow them & enter to win 3 boxes of shadow shields. How awesome! Lemme know if you have already tried these out & how it has worked for you xoxo

NOTD

Hi guys just a quick picture of my NOTD (Nails of the day). I absolutely love the colour gold & with most gold colours I often find it hard to get right colour I want. It's not too dark or light... Perfect for any occasion. I work in an office so it's not too loud but it's also not too dull for a night out. It's just right!

The nail polish is from Essie & is called 'good as gold' for those who are interested.
