Introducing my NPOTW...

I’ve decided to create a topic of the week, I’m going to do a weekly blog post for my Nail Polish Of The Week (aka NPOTW....cute huh??)

At the moment I’m changing my polish so much – I’m always wearing a different colour each week and sometimes each day.  It also kind of helps with the growing my nail out process.  I’m less likely to bite my nails with a polish on them.  I’d be afraid of getting polish chips in my mouth.  Yuck!

Anyways so here’s my first NPOTW post. Yay!

Introducing...

Nails Glo Baby Glo! UV Reactive Nail Polish in Yes Cyan.  Purchased from Primark for £1.50 or £2.00 (can’t remember the exact price I know its one of them, but it’s still cheap which ever way you look at it)

This is a gorgeous. I must say it again, this is a G O R G E O U S nail polish colour.  A lovely bright vibrant turquoise blue, prefect for the summer.  You’re finger and toe nails will look great with this colour on them.

Now if you’re thinking Primark is usually pretty cheap and not very good quality, think again.  This polish covers so good,  you could probably get away with one coat.  But two coats of this baby and you’ll be ready to go.  It goes on just prefect.  No streaking, no patches, doesn’t take forever to dry.  All in all a great polish from Primark.  I'm definitely going to check out more of their polishes.

Ciao for now, more to come from NPOTW :- )

I just popped in for one thing...

...And came out with with a lot more!  Lol :-) That is the curse of Primark.  All I wanted to buy was hair ties/bands, that are a £1.  But low and behold i bought more.  I also got 2 tops, which I'm going to return as they look a little weird on me.  So here's what i am keeping...

Fake suede bag originally £7, marked down to £3, Wowzer!!! Mini blush brush £1.50, Hair band with rhinestone/jewels on £2, Big purple earrings £1.50, Gold chain bracelet £2 and Bronze illuminator in Bronze 0110 £3

After i lost my mini Sigma SS168m brush, I've been on the constant look out for a new mini blusher brush.  So i was really glad when i spotted this blush brush in Primark (i can't wait to try out more of Primarks cosmetic line...watch this space...)  This brush is a perfect size for me on my travels, thumbs up.  Always a fan of cheap statement pieces and accessories, i couldn't resist the earrings, bracelet and the head band.  They all scream bling, and for a crazy price of £5.50 for all 3 - you can't really complain, can you???

The bronze illuminator is a complete bargain, at only £3 you can't go wrong with this.  If you click on the picture below you can see what the product comes out the tube like and what it looks like when blended.  Pictures taken with flash camera. 

You like my blingy tacky bracelet?  Yeah I do too, I'm up for any bling that costs a whole £2!!!!  I loveeeee  Primark!!!

Insert big goofy picture of me wearing my new hand band and earrings.  Apologises for the red nose, messy hair.  Had a long day at work and suffering with a rotten cold (oh the joy).

Have you purchased any cool things lately? Tell me about them....

Topshop Makeup Haul

As I arrived home from work on Monday night, I had the tell tale signs that I’d been to some kind of makeup counter...

Guilty as charged!!!! And where did I get these marks from? None other than the new makeup line from Topshop!!!

I’d read some good reviews of this new line that was only released in early May, and I suppose I got the case of the green eyed monster and wanted in on the action myself. Besides it’s been a while since I’d gone to Topshop flag ship store on Oxford Street.

I picked up a few things that caught my eye.

1 Bronzer in Radiance 2 @ £8.00
2 Eye crayon in Moon shine £7.00
3 Nail polish in Carry on Camping @£5.00
4 Blush in Neon Rose @ £6.00
5 Lip stick pencil in Vintage £7.00

I'm dead excited to try out my new purchases, especially the lip crayon. When I tested this it was gorgeous, I also can’t wait to test the Moon shine eye crayon. It’s such an intense silver it’ll just makes your eyes pop.  You can see the Moon shine swatches on my hand above.

I didn’t purchase any of the eye shadows.  When I swatched the ones I thought were pretty - they had no pigment at all and were a real disappointment. There were tonnes of nail polishes to choose from, but they are £5 each which I think is a lot. Barry M have just as many colours and for almost half the price. But i purchased one just to see what it was like and to give my thoughts.

Anyways this weekend is my Topshop testing weekend, I’ve already used the blush lots this week so far... and i am loving it.

Watch this space for reviews and pictures. Have you seen the new collection? What are your thoughts and what have you added to your wish list?
