CHARLIES NAIL ART HAUL

Friday, May 30, 2014

Yesterday I was lucky enough to receive this awesome nail art package from charliesnailart.co.uk . Charlie has been so lovely and has sent me loads of lush new nail art products which are all suitable to use on my natural nails. There are water decals, 3D nail art shapes, glitter, gems and glue so I'm going to be very busy creating funky nail designs and I cant wait to share them with you.

YANKEE CANDLE ORANGE SPLASH VOTIVE & HOLDER

Monday, May 26, 2014

Craig's sister Lisa recently bought us this cute little Yankee Tea light holder , its so cute and has a metal handle kind of like a little bucket. Lisa also kindly got us the Orange Splash votive to place inside the holder. We hadn't smelt the orange splash scent before so we where very excited to start burning it and see what it was like...after I'd taken photos of it of course :)

CHERRY NAILS

Sunday, May 25, 2014

Last week I asked Craig what design I should paint my nails as I was feeling a little uninspired, I should have known what he would say as he is obsessed with all things Cherry flavoured at the moment. I've never done Cherry nail art before so they aren't the best cherries but I think they look really cute and summery with the green and red accent nails.

BEAUTY UK NEW PRODUCT LAUNCHES

Friday, May 23, 2014

I've raved on many occasions about Beauty UK as they are certainly my favourite high street/drugstore make up brand by far! Their products are such high quality and are so affordable....So you can imagine my excitement when the lovely Steph from Beauty UK kindly sent me a whole load of products from their new launches to try out and review! They have so many new products launching in the next few weeks and I cannot wait to share my thoughts on them with you...

MY FAVOURITE SPRING LIP PRODUCTS

Monday, May 12, 2014

Even though I wear practically any shade in any season , I thought it would be fun to show you all my Favourite Spring Lip Products as I'm loving so many different shades at the moment. There are a lot of Beauty UK products mentioned as I absolutely LOVE the Beauty UK Lipsticks, the shades available are amazing and the pigmentation is awesome! The majority of my favourite lip products used to be from Rimmel London but Beauty UK Lipsticks have slowly but surely taken over from Rimmel as they are amazing quality and so affordable at £3.49 each.

Village Candle Review

Sunday, May 11, 2014

I have been trying out the village candles for well over a month now so that I could give you all a true review of them! I absolutely love Village Candles and Can't wait to try out the new spring/summer range as they look and sound amazing. I think the village candles that I have tried have lasted a lot longer than the Yankee jars I've purchased in the past which is great as they are cheaper than Yankee candles too!

I'd love to know if you've tried any Village Candles and if so which fragrance is your favourite?

I hope your all having a great weekend!

MY SPRING MAKEUP ROUTINE

Monday, May 05, 2014

I've worn this make up look a few times in the last few weeks as its so quick, easy to do and is a nice little change from my everyday makeup. Its only a simple cat eye with a either a lilac /pink lip, a bold plum lip or a bright red lip. I love this look with all three lipsticks as they are great for different occasions but let me know in the comments which lipstick you preferred with this look?

DAISY NAIL ART TUTORIAL

Friday, May 02, 2014

Since discovering how to do daisy nail art I have been obsessed with painting my nails and then adding an accent daisy nail. It looks great in so many colour variations and when I did these nails I loved them. I love how to OPI coral/orange looks with the white and gold studded nail art. I've also loved playing around with my nail vinyls recently to create the chevron pattern.
