NOTD – Orly Country Club Khaki

I knew I had to have this colour from the first time I saw it on Emma’s (MagpieSparkles) blog. Its beautiful!

In the bottle it looks a bit odd but once it was on my nails I fell in love! I think this is definitely one of my favourites (and i have a lot of nail polish!).

This was 2 coats and the application was perfect!

You can either get this from head2toebeauty.com who I've used and would recommend or from various sellers on eBay, if you want to know my favourite sellers just let me know.

Tuesday’s FOTD

Seeing as i had so many nice comments on my last FOTD I thought I'd do another one for you all.

Only a subtle look, but fairly spring-ish.

Here’s a close-up of my make-up:

Products used:

  • MAC Studio Fix Fluid in NC15 with MAC 187 brush
  • MAC Studio Finish Concealer in NW20 with fingers
  • MAC MSF in Light Medium with MAC 187 brush
  • MAC Pretty Baby Beauty Powder (Hello Kitty) with Sigma 168 brush
  • MAC Femme-Fi all over lid
  • MAC Beautiful Iris on outer third
  • Collection 2000 Fast Stroke eyeliner
  • Maybelline Falsies mascara

 

My shirt is from Peacocks, and my hair is a combination of its naturally wavy self/a bit of encouragement from my Remington Spin Dryer/being slept on.

Also my skin is not flawless, its clearly just my camera being nice and a lot of make-up. If you look closely you can see the spots on my forehead and there are several on both cheeks. Make-up is magic!

Free GOSH Eyeliner!

IMG_2547

I’ve been meaning to do this post for a while. With the latest More! magazine you can get yourself a free GOSH Extreme Art Eyeliner worth £7, considering the magazine costs £1.50 that's a good deal!

I’ve realised that today (Monday) is the last day to redeem your voucher so it may be that a new magazine comes out today, but if you can get your hands on it then its worth it!

This is what the edition looks like

Run girls, run to the magazine stalls and then run to Superdrug!

EDIT: Rosie has said that new editions come out on Tuesday so I'm definitely off to Tesco to stock up tomorrow!

Reveal Your Inner Spark

Illamasqua has a new collection!

5

Here is what Illamasqua have to say about the collection:

“Body Electrics is inspired by the power of kinetic energy, the art of movement, the fluidity of the body in motion. The collection is an anthology of creams, powders and dry body oils infused with light, shimmer and shine, designed to highlight and contour your whole body. Containing hyper-pigmented light-reflecting particles that ignite the skin with intense colours and finishes, each product in the range has been created to accentuate the body's every twist and turn to exquisite perfection, ensuring you exude a confidence that's more than skin deep.”

The artwork for this collection is beautiful!

The collection is now available on the website, go have a browse and purchase a few things. I’ve already got my order in! I will post my pics as soon as my stuff arrives, I'm so excited!

NOTD – China Glaze Stella

Here is another NOTD for you. I picked this polish up in Sally’s yesterday, I nearly bought it a while ago but didn't and then regretted it so couldn't resist yesterday.

Its a beautiful dark purpley-red. Its a bit more red than this photo shows. This was 2 coats, but you could probably just about get away with one.

NOTD – Models Own Peach Sherbet

Here is a beautiful peach! This is Models Own Peach Sherbet.

IMG_2502
This was 2 or 3 coats depending on how i applied it on each nail, but it applied easily and dried quickly. This was my first Models Own polish but I was impressed and will definitely try more!

I cant find this colour on the site for some reason, but I picked it up for £5 in River Island, they only have a small range but easier than ordering online.

Have you tried any Models Own polishes? Tell me your favourites :)

My nail varnish collection

I have decided to post swatches of all my nail varnishes, I have around 150 i believe so it is going to take me a long time! But hopefully you will all enjoy the posts, I am also going to add my photos to a Flickr page so you can look at them whenever.

I have asked on Twitter and I think I'm going to post them by brand, although I may do some by colour but I think by brand is easier.

Exercise!

As most of you know I have been participating in Cat’s weight loss challenge and I have done pretty well, though not as good as most of the girls! Well done everyone! But now I am going to focus on exercise!

In June I will be taking part in a 12 mile midnight walk around my local area to raise money for a local hospice. If you want to learn more about the event you can click on this link.

Then in July I have decided to do Race for Life, I’m not too sure why but I was spurred on by Victoria and I'm quite excited right now. But it means running about 3 miles and I cant do that at all right now!

I have added links to my sponsorship pages on the left and if you have any spare pennies I would really love if you could donate them to me! And I would also appreciate any good luck you have or running tips :)
