My Spring/Summer Nail Polish Picks By Barry M

Hey beaut's!

I cant believe I'm finally saying this but the Spring weather has finally arrived here in the UK...wait, what....shocking right lol! It's been absolutely glorious and hit 28 degrees where I live last week which was just immense and long overdue! Seeing as it's been so lovely I decided to get my favourite Barry M Spring/Summer nail polish shades back out and share them with you, I'm pretty much obsessed with Barry M's nail polishes, their so affordable, great in quality, they last well on my nails and the choice of shades and finishes they have is incredible.

(From left to right Prickly Pear, Dragon Fruit, Flamingo, Mint Green, In A Heatbeat, Pinktail, Jellyfish)
Firstly I love Barry M's Gelly Hi Shine Collection because the glossy finish is just everything and it's a really hard wearing formula, my two favourite shades are Prickly Pear which is a pastel lavender/lilac shade and Dragon Fruit which is a candy pink shade with hidden micro shimmers within it, arh they both so pretty! My next favourite is Barry M's Coconut Infusion in Flamingo, this is a bright coral which is a great one if you want your nails to really pop and it looks fabulous against a tan. Then we have Barry M's Nail Paint in Mint Green, this is a gorgeous pastel mint green shade that makes my nails look fun and vibrant and it's the only shade of green I really wear on my nails to be honest. Next is Barry M's Speedy Quick Dry in In A Heart Beat, this is such a pretty colour, sometimes it looks pink then salmon then peach and because it's in the Speedy Quick Dry range it's a great one for gals who are on the go or just hate waiting for polish to dry like me because this one drys in a flash. The final two shades are from Barry M's Under The Sea Collection which is a pretty epic collection for Spring/Summer, I have the shades Jellyfish - a gorgeous lilac with a baby blue/turquoise duo-chrome shift and Pinktail - a salmon-pinky -coral which has a stunning gold duo-chrome shift to it. These two do need some building up to be completely opaque but it's so worth it as the effect is gorgeous!

What are your favourite nail polish shades from Barry M to wear during the Spring and Summer months beaut's?? I'd love to know!

Nail Polish of the Week!

Hey beaut's!

I've been brain storming new blog post ideas recently and I thought I'd start sharing my nail polish of the week. This week I've been wearing and absolutely loving Barry M's Coconut Infusion Nail Paint in Surfboard.

Surfboard is such a pretty pastel pink, borderline lilac shade which goes hand in hand with the hot summer weather we've been having in the UK recently. The formulation of these Coconut Infusion nail paints is really what has me hooked, their made with a blend of coconut water and coconut oil which both gently hydrate and nourish the nails, pretty snazzy hey! The polish applies super smooth with no bubbling or streaking and was easily opaque after two quick coats and dried quickly, I definitely feel like this newer formula is slightly thicker than the average Barry M nail paint but I actually prefer it because my nails always feel slightly more durable after I use this formula. The finish is smooth, glossy and gel-like and I was chip free for a good 4 days which I think is pretty good going considering I'm such a heavy handed and hands-on kind of person! All in all I absolutely love this nail polish and I must admit I have rocked this shade most of the Summer, I just love it so much!

April Beauty Favourites ♥

Hey beaut's!

Its that time again.... Monthly favourites time! I cant quite believe how quick April has whizzed past, I know I probably say that every month but it honestly scares me that the months go by so quickly! I don't have too many favourites this month mainly because a lot of them where the same as last month and I've only really switched a couple of products up this month, plus I was ill a few weeks back so putting makeup on was the least of my worries he he! Anywhoo onto the few things I've been loving this month beauty wise!

Firstly this month I have fallen completely in love with Barry M's new Coconut Infusion Nails Paints, they are made with a whole new formulation that blends together both coconut water and coconut oil to gently hydrate and nourish the nails, how awesome is that! I have three shades from the collection so far but my favourite and most worn is Aloha, it's a gorgeous a hot pink that wears beautifully, arhhh I love it so much!

Next is the stunning GWA (Girls With Attitude) Makeup Brushes, I actually won six of these a few months back on a Twitter giveaway and have been completely obsessed with them since I got them. Not only do they look gorgeous with their purple ombre bristles, rose gold accents and wooden handles but the quality is amazing too, I definitely want to grow my collection of these.

 I've been loving theBalm's Mary Lou Manizer and it fast became a must in my everyday makeup routine, it's just absolutely stunning and packs an all mighty highlighted punch, I honestly think people on space could see the glow from my cheekbones when I'm wearing this baby ha ha!

For concealer it's been all about Rimmel's Match Perfection for me, the formula is just amazing, it's so lightweight, great coverage, long lasting and doesn't crease under my eye area at all, I cant believe I waiting so long to try it!

For blush and bronzer this month I've been reaching for my Benefit Hoola and Rockateur from my Real Cheeky Party Blushing Beauty Kit that I got last Christmas, Hoola is such a great bronzer to bronze and contour with on my skin tone and Rockateur is the most beautiful deep dusky rose blusher. I forgot how much I actually loved this palette, it literally sees me through all the seasons too! 

You may be shocked at my brow favourite this month, it isn't my holy grail HD Brows Kit.... SAY WHATTTT! I decided to buy Freedom Makeup's Duo Brow Powder in Taupe recently because my HD Brows Kit is coming to an end and I hear such good things about Freedom Makeup brow products as they are supposed to be good dupes of Anastasia Beverly Hills. After giving this brow duo a whirl over the last few weeks I'm so impressed, it works amazingly and blends with my brow hairs so naturally and Freedoms shade range is literally on point, theres so many to choose from and Taupe matched up to me so well! Best of these little duo's are only £3.00 each, beauty bargain alert!  

My last favourite this month is my trusty Vichy Idealia Eyes Cream! This is such a good eye cream, when I use it I notice the skin around my eyes is silky smooth and more plump which makes my eye makeup sit more comfortably and most importantly theres no concealer creasing which is just brill... My dark circles also appear reduced as the illuminators within the cream instantly make my eyes appear more awake and fresh in the mornings, it's really moisturising too! I'd highly recommend this if your looking for an amazing eye cream!


What have you been loving this month beaut's?? I'd love to know

Mini Superdrug 3 for 2 Makeup Haul

Hey beaut's!

When I saw that Superdrug had their amazing 3 for 2 mix and match deal back on all makeup, false nails, false eyelashes and makeup brushes I just had to go in and get a few cheeky bits so I thought I'd share with you all what I picked up! I did end up paying for my items in two separate transactions just so I could get the best out of the deal because you always get the cheapest items free, and when you buy three things in the 3 for 2 at the moment you also get a free makeup bag so I ended you with two of those too but I gave one to my mum he he. Anyway onto the goodies I bought...

Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge £5.99

The first thing I got was another one of my trusty Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponges, I've literally repurchased this little sponge about five times but I just cant get enough of it! I'm using one at the moment but it needs a good wash so I thought I'd grab a new one so that I have two to switch between! 

Barry M Coconut Infused Nail Paint in Aloha and Flamingo £4.99 (1 FREE)

Arrrrhhh I couldn't wait to get my hands on these babies... Their from Barry M's new line of nail polishes for Spring and Summer named Coconut Infusion, they are made with a whole new formulation that blends together both coconut water and coconut oil to gently hydrate and nourish the nails, how awesome is that! I got the shades Aloha (Pink) and Flamingo (Coral) and I've already given them a whirl and absolutely love them, I'll be reviewing them in full soon!

Freedom Makeup Duo Brow Powder in Taupe £3.00

My trusty HD Brows Palette is basically coming to the end of it's life so I'm currently looking for a new holy grail brow product on the high street, I decided I'd go for something from Freedom Makeup as they have loads of brow products at the moment all of which are supposed to be dupes of Anastasia Beverly Hills. I did want their Pro Brow Pomade but my shade had sold out so instead I opted for their Duo Brow Powder in Taupe, I like it so far but will report back with more details soon!

Miss Sporty Studio Lash The Miaoww Liquid Eyeliner £2.99

Then I decided to repurchase another Miss Sporty Studio Lash The Miaoww Liquid Eyeliner, I picked one of these up a month or so ago on a total whim purely because it was only £2.99 and I loved the shape of it's nib, but Miss Sporty is a brand I never really buy anything from so I wasn't expecting much from it if I'm honest however.... It turns out that I absolutely love it! It's just so easy to use and precise and the formula is so inky black and long lasting, I'm totally sold on this liner so I just had to buy another one ready for when the one I'm using now runs out.   

Rimmel 1000 Kisses Lasting Finish Lip Liner in Spice £2.99 (FREE)

Lastly I opted for Rimmel's 1000 Kisses Lasting Finish Lip Liner in the shade Spice. I'd heard a lot about this shade of lip liner on Youtube so decided to give it a whirl, I paired it with my Makeup Revolution Rose Gold Lipstick in the shade Chauffeur and wow, they look gorgeous together so I'm so happy I picked this up!

Have you picked anything up in Superdrugs 3 for 2 deal beaut's? I'd love to know what you got!
