Festive Nails!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

For todays post I thought I'd share with you a quick nail look I created for the festive season, I know I'm posting it a bit late, i.e on christmas day, but I love this look and thought you guys would too! 

To create this look you need just three polishes, a green, a red, and a glitter. 

Collection Green With Envy, Rimmel Glitter Top Coat, LoReal Rouge Pin Up

I did two accent nails on each hand, but you can choose how many nails you want to paint each colour, and you can do with with any colours not just festive ones. 

This is the finished look, its super quick and easy to do, and looks super cute on the nails, it looks really interesting if you do the opposite on your other hand, especially the thumb, because they're visible then your texting! 

Anyway, thats all for this post, Have a lovely christmas, and I'll talk to all of you soon! 

Two New Face Creams

A few days ago I was doing my shopping when I popped down the skin care aisle, since my last skincare post I have been on the look out for a new face cream, the main reason is that I just didn't feel like the Boots one was really doing much good, my skin was still dry and flaking around my nose and it just wasn't really that great, so I picked up these two products to try out.

For the first time in my life I own a day cream and a night cream, now, I haven't fully tried these, i'm still trying to use up the last of my Boots cream, but I am extremely excited to see how these work in conjunction with each other.

Both creams are from the L'Oreal Paris Triple Active range, and can be picked up at most drugstores and supermarkets. The are packaged in cute little glass/plastic jars and are thick and velvety in consistency, I tried these on the back of my hand once I'd got them home and they sunk into my skin like a dream but as I mentioned I haven't given these a good try so will post a full review once I have tried them with the rest of my skin care routine.

I bought mine from ASDA on offer at £4 which is a complete steal!

Have you tried these? Whats your favorite face cream?

Hope you all enjoyed todays post, Talk soon! 

Bourjois So Laque Glossy Review

Hey guys! Long time no speak huh? First of all I want to make a huge apology to all of you. If you read my last post you'll know that I'm having some work done on my house and all my make up is in storage until everything is finished but the other reason I have been unable to post is that I shared a laptop with my fiance and he had been taking it to university with him so I had no access to a blogging machine. BUT that will no longer be an issue since he bought me my very own laptop for Christmas *squeals* (Yes I opened it early, but my fiance wouldnt take no for an answer.. He hates waiting for me to open my presents) So I should be back to blogging every week now! I have a few posts already planned so will get those up while I work on some other ideas! Anyway, I'm really sorry that I've been absent for pretty much this entire moth.

For todays post I will be reviewing the Bourjois So Laque Glossy, I picked this up from ASOS.com In the shade Peach and Love. On the website this polish looks like a muted barbie pink, which I liked the look of, however in real life, its much more of a coral-pink which, is still lovely, just not what I had hoped it would be.

As you can see here the colour is definitely much more on the coral side of things and although it is a summer colour, it is lovely.
The consistency of this polish is a little on the runny side, which I'm not overly fond of, it is quite opaque which is nice, but I just prefer a thicker polish like I've mentioned before.

Over all, I do like this polish, and I will definitely try some others from the same line in the future.

I hope you guys like this post, It's good to be blogging again!

Beauty Questions Tag!

Hey everyone, just a quick message, I'm having some work done of the house I live in, so ALL my makeup and brushes are being stored away *Cries* so unfortunately my planned posts cant be written, so I'm going to post a couple of 'tags', help me get something posted, and help you to learn a bit more about me, I'm really sorry I cant post my usual posts, but normal topics should resume as soon as the work is completed!
