NOTD! - Barry M's Silvery Lilac

I absolutely love the effect this nail polish gives. Although the shade is named Silvery Lilac, it also has shades of emerald green which looks gorgeous when the light catches it. Unfortunately the picture definately doesn't do it justice! I also love this as it will look great all year round.

I don't have any special effects polishes apart from the crackle polish so I love having this little gem in my collection! I really want to try out holographic nail polish next. Anyone have any good recommendations?

Project 10 Pan!

After having a complete clear out over the weekend I discovered a serious amount of products I completely forgot I had (mainly due to me buying new products and throwing half used ones in the back of drawers!). This is probably a common symptom for most beauty addicts like myself and I believe my cure (for a while anyway) is to complete a Project 10 Pan.

If you haven't heard of Project 10 Pan before, it's basically putting yourself on a ban from buying any new beauty/make up products until you have completely used up 10 products that you already have. I'm pretty sure my drawers, wallet and boyfriend will appreciate this endevour! I might need to stick post it notes on my laptop and in my wallet to remind me though... I'm definately guilty of reaching for my cards after doing a bit of internet "window shopping"!

I'm starting today and I do find the feeling of finishing a product quite satisfying (probably because its such a rare occurance) so I am quite excited for the challange!

 

Has anyone done a Project Pan before?? Let me know and I'll keep you updated on my progress!

Haul feat. Cetaphil, Essie & more!

As usual this morning I wandered in to Boots looking to pick up 1 item and I came out with a bag full! So I thought I'd do a haul as my first blog post... I'm sure it will be the first of many!

Batiste Dry Shampoo in Cherry

I love Batiste and have purchased several previously. I was actually looking to pick up the one that is tinted brown (as it helps disguise my blonde roots!!) however the packaging on this cherry one drew me in! The smell is really fruity and I'm sure will really freshen my hair on lazy days!

Revlon Grow Luscious Mascara

I've heard great things about this mascara online. I purchased this in shade 001 Blackest Black. I haven't used it yet but the wand has a full brush which will hopefully give me a set of nice full lashes!

Barry M Nail Paint in Silvery Lilac

This shade is a gorgeous metallic colour which has a mixture of silver, green and purple shades so changes the appearance in different lights. Expect to see this in a Nail of the Day post very soon!

Essie Nail Polish in Tart Deco
I was so excited when I saw my local Boots has started to stock Essie! I don't own any so I had to try one out. I decided on Tart Deco as it's unlike any shade I own. I can't wait to try this out and I'm sure my Essie collection will start to grow rapidly!

Revlon Lip Butters
I've definitely jumped on the band waggon with this one! I've been dying to get my hands on some and they have been sold out everywhere I have been. I've managed to pick up shades Lollipop and Peach.
Lollipop is a bright pink with shimmer. It has great pigmentation and is my first step into bright colour on my lips. I have NEVER worn a bright lipstick so hopefully this will ease me into it!!
Peach is... a peach shade!! It has some gorgeous gold shimmer running through it. Its more of a neutral shade than Lollipop so I'll get a lot more wear out of this one and I can imagine it will become a daily staple in my make up bag!

Cetaphil Moisturising Lotion
I have seen a lot online about Cetaphil over the years and I was excited when I saw this in Boots. My skin has recently been very dry so I hope this will make a difference. Can't wait to see the results!

Nivea Daily Essentials Rich Day Cream
I originally picked this up as I was looking to find a daily moisturiser for very dry skin. In my excitement I actually forgot to put this back when I found Cetaphil! I think I'm going to try both and see how they compare!!

Thanks for reading
