OPI Brazil, Amazon...Amazoff Polish!

I love seeing online that OPI is bringing out a new collection, but what I really like doing is waiting for it to come out so I can go into the store and find the OPI that immediately stands out to me. The best way to see the colour 'true to life' is actually seeing the colour!
Amazon...Amazoff was definitely the shade for me!
This is definitely a 'me' colour! I walked into John Lewis the other week and instantly took a liking to it, and if I had the money I would have bought it there and then. A week later it was Valentine's and my wonderful boyfriend (with a fantastic memory) surprised me with it as one of my gifts!
It's such a gorgeous colour - described as a teal shimmer however I can't see the shimmer! It peeped out a little in pictures but is pretty much hidden when applied. Maybe it's sunlight activated? Won't be seeing it for a while then...However I really love how creamy it looks so I'm not disappointed.
Even though it's such a fun shade, it's surprisingly sophisticated, I'd definitely be rocking this colour everywhere I went!
It applied very evenly and was opaque after 2 coats, I did have a problem with it peeling off my thumb after a day but I'm putting that down to my base coat, it's not the one I usually use - I ran out of my OPI base and top coat :'(
Overall I couldn't be happier with this Nail Polish! With my OPI top coat its so shiny too! I will definitely be checking out some of the other colours in this collection, they've definitely caught my eye.
What do you think of OPI's new collection? It's one of my favourites for a while!

MAC, Maybelline, Lush & Dainty Doll Haul!

Hey Guys!
Just a little post of my little haul! I went shopping in Cambridge last time I was up to get a few goodies for myself (I've been searching for the babylips lip balms for ages!) and I also got some bits for my Giveaway! But that's still top secret... just waiting for a package to get here then the giveaway can begin!
So onto the haul...
MAC Pro Longwear Concealer
I've been needing a new concealer for some time and have heard great things about MAC's so going to give this one a go! Still don't think I've got the hang of it... but it does seems to cover quite well. I never seem to get the same results the MUA gets when they test it on you in the store, which I get really worked up about! Just going to have to keep trying. I do use a fluffy concealer brush to apply it, but it's quite tough! Going to need to invest in a new one...
But so far so good with the concealer! This is in the shade NW15, and leaves a flawless finish to your skin! Retails at £15.50

MAC Fast Response Eye Cream
I always get really dark circles under my eyes and I can never seem to get rid of them! Apparently this super-charged, caffeinated eye cream will work to tighten the skin under my eyes, 'de-puff' and reduce the look of dark circles. I've only tried this product for a few days so can't say if it works or not yet but will keep you updated! If nothing else, it feels amazingly soft! Although being £22 is a bit pricey...it better work!
 
Maybelline BabyLips
I have been looking for these for so long and could never find them anywhere! I search around superdrug for them and only found them when I went to the tills to pay! They were on a 3 for 2 promotion on the tills! Happy Days! I know they get a lot of mixed reviews but so far I love them. I've only used the Hydrate and Minty Fresh one so far, and I LOVE the Hydrate one. My lips have never been so soft! I was expecting the Minty Fresh Babylips to be like the EOS egg, which is very minty, but it wasn't as scented as I would have liked. EOS Eggs leave you feeling very refreshed so I was a little disappointed, but for £2.99 I was still very happy! Will definitely be trying out some more in the future.

LUSH Liquid Lipsticks




Ok, WOW. I dragged my boyfriend into Lush and started to look at these pretty little bottles. I've heard a bit about them but didn't know what they were like so was playing about and couldn't believe how pretty the pink colour was! It's so bright and has a blue shimmer to it which is amazing. But then I saw the price... £14.50! Thinking about it though... you'd pay the same for a MAC lipstick, and although the bottles look small, you'd probably get the same about of product out of it, so my boyfriend was very lovely and bought it for me. I started applying it when I got home like you would a lip gloss, and then realised my mistake. I only have a small drop of the product on my lips and realised how pigmented they were! I quickly grabbed my lip brush and managed to completely cover my lips with the smallest amount ever! It's amazing!!!! They remind me of OCC lip tars. I am in LOVE with these things!
My boyfriend remembered how much I also liked the shimmery orange so bought it for me at Waterloo Station when I went to get my train, isn't he lovely...I haven't had a chance to use it properly yet but if it's anything like Passionate (left) I'll be very happy!
The appropriately names Passionate, is a bright pink with blue undertones and a blue/purple shimmer. I wore this shade to work and got so many compliments! It stayed on perfectly from 4pm until 1am and I was eating and drinking over that time too... can't believe how great they are! It was a little drying, but I put lip balm on before bed so it's all good!
Vibrance hasn't got the same quality of pigmentation... it looks like sparkly orange jelly when wearing it! If you wait a few minutes, and add a few coats you'd have the sparkliest lips around! Personally I'd wear it over the top of an orange lipstick, my favourite being Mac's Sweet & Sour.
 
Dainty Doll Eyeshadows
 
I picked up 3 gorgeous Dainty Doll eyeshadows from POUNDLAND! WHAAAAT??? I also picked up about 4 OPI's!!! Crazy... loving poundland right now! Totally forgot to photograph the OPI's though! They're all shatters but if you've got a Poundland near you...GO! You will spend money.
The first one I picked up is Copacabana and it's a super bright, matte sky blue. Minus the mirror...
The second one I found, (it was all a bit of a mess, I had to hunt!) was Kingston Town. A shimmery Acid Yellow! I can't wait to use this shade, it's amazing!
And lastly, Teach Me Tiger, which I was hesitant to buy at first because it's a pretty safe colour, and I do like my brights but I got it anyway and I've been wearing it ever since! It's made it into my daily routine... I've been getting a lot of compliments on it too! Definitely worth picking up! I'll be posting a look soon which is based around using this colour - it's beautiful!
 
And that's ma'haul... If you're anything like me, you only look at the photos really... but I hope you liked my post! Another one to come tomorrow night fingers crossed!

Wedding Daze... Outfit of the Day!

Hey guys!
A few months ago (I'm so far behind with posts like this, sorry!) my boyfriend was best man at  his friend's wedding which I got to go to and it was such a lovely day! Everything went beautifully and it was the hottest day of the year, it couldn't of gone better. Here's just a few snaps of my OOTD, the dress was so pretty I have to show it off!
So this was my outfit! My dress was so gorgeous (and the first one I tried on in the shop!) and was £65 from Lilac Rose in Cambridge. I'm quite busty so it's hard to find a good fitting dress sometimes, I was SO happy that this one gave me a waist!!! haha
The belt was £4 from New Look and my shoes were £25 also from New Look. I bought them years apart from each other but the colours matched perfectly! I am also wearing little coral rose earrings too, £5 from Lilac Rose, but you can't see them in these pictures.
I went bag hunting days before the wedding and found this one in Miss Selfridge which fitted perfectly with the colour of my accessories and the roses on my dress, and cost me around £14 in the sale! Bargain.
My Nail Varnishes are all OPI's. The nude is Don't Burst My Bubble, The coral is Hot & Spicy, and the blue is called Blue My Mind.
I got this effect using hole reinforcers! Might do a post on how to create half moon manicures soon :)
How cute are the table decorations! The little wedding favour bags were flower seeds which I thought was a lovely idea and worked well with the floral theme.
It was a barn wedding, which I've always wanted to go to, and it really was so pretty! I love the wheel of lights!
Whenever I'm forced to have a picture taked I seem to forget how to smile, and stand, and all those other normal things so the 'duck face' usually makes an appearance. My poor boyfriend's wondering what the hell he's going out with... OOPS almost forgot to say... I kept my makeup pretty simple, followed my everyday look (didn't have long to get ready!) which I posted about last week, here's the link incase you missed it. :) The only difference being I wore Mac's Sweet and Sour lipstick.
So that's that, just a few pics of my Wedding OOTD, hope you like!

Haul Time! O.P.I, Collection 2000, Sleek, Benefit...

Hey Guys!

I've been spending plenty of time in Cambridge lately which has given me a great opportunity to go shopping! And my wonderful boyfriend has been making sure I'm keeping up to date with all the latest collections that have been coming out at Mac and Sleek etc!

(I live on the Isle of Wight. It's hard to get anything here!)

Here's some pics of some stuff I've picked up recently!


 
 
 
This pretty O.P.I Polish is called Blue My Mind and is from the original brights collection. It's a super metallic blue which makes it change between royal and navy in the light. I picked it up from John Lewis for £11.50




Ring Reinforcements! Oh yes, exciting stuff... haha I'm gonna use these to (hopefully) create some half moon nails! I've got 500 so I MIGHT just about get there... I'm not looking forward to the trial and error! I have very little patience...
These cost me £2.99 from Ryman.


I've started doing a lot more makeup looks lately and I really want to carry that on, and maybe do some more series'! So I need to stock up on some new lashes! Mine are getting a bit tired now. These little beauties look amazing! They don't look like uber fake lashes when wearing them, they add fullness and length to your lashes and are the perfect finishing touch to making your eye makeup looking flawless! Also from John Lewis and only £4!

This was the one I was most excited about! And for obvious reasons... OH MA GEERRRRD! It's so bright O_o You get a sugar rush just looking at it!
I see it and just think Candy Crush and that awesome game world Venelope was from in Wreck It Ralph!
I really can't wait to play around with this palette! I've always loved Sleek's palettes and they always seem to get better and better!
This is the 5 one in my collection!
The names are so super cute too! Reminds me of being a kid in a sweet shop!
Picked it up from Superdrug for £7.99








Such Pretty, Bright, Fun Colours!!!



























I went to stay with my boyfriend for the week and had to pack my makeup bag in a rush, and managed to forget my mascara! Brilliant! So I did some research and went out and bought a different one to my usual MAC Plush Lash. I saw some great reviews for Benefit's They're Real! Mascara and knowing my sister was a lover of it, I thought I'd give it a go. What the eff. I hate this mascara! It's soo clumpy! This isn't my like 'first impression' either, I've been using it for over a week and I just don't like it. It makes my top lashes look like hairy spiders legs! Just no. For me, It's too heavy so puts too much weight on my lashes and has the adverse effect on them. However it does make it pretty good for my lower lashes! They've never looked longer! Just a shame I can't use it properly. Definitely going to be sticking with my Mac Plush Lash, which is £16.50. Benefit's They're Real! is £19.50, I bought mine in Boots so I guess at least I got points!



A little random addition to this haul but a good one none the less! This little 6 well paint palette will work perfectly for mixing pigments ready for use or for mixing some lipsticks together to get your desired colour before application. I picked it up from Ryman's for 49p! Bargain!
















I seem to run out of primer quicker than anything! I've not found one that I've fallen in love with yet so I'm trying out a new release from Collection 2000. I use a lot of their eyeliners and they're so much better than I expected them to be so I want to see what their other stuff is like! So far I'm really impressed with this one! I think it cost me £8 from Boots but I'm not sure! There's some good deals on lately and I bought this along with my next product for buy one get one half price :)

It's summer... I've started to sweat 0_0 so I wanted to buy something that might help my makeup stay on a bit longer! I haven't had long enough to give this little beaut a go yet but I shall let you know how I get on! It's called a makeup Fixer so I'm going to see how well it works as a mixing medium as well. This also cost roughly £8 from Boots in their offer.


















Ok I was going to make this as all one post, but it was getting too long! So I'm gonna put up another post of all new pretties I've picked up from MAC recently! They've had some beautiful collections in lately!

Hope you guys like my post, If you want any more info or swatches of anything then let me know! I'll do a more in depth post on the sleek palette and hopefully have a look up using it soon!

Lush Oxford Street! Haul and Make-up Review

Hey guys! Yesterday I got to go to the brand new Lush store on Oxford Street! It was absolutely amazing! They opened the doors a day early f...
