Mini Review Barry M Silk Nail Effects Polish - SKNP1 Blossom !

Just a quick mention and mini review of Barry M's new nail paint from the Silk collection.
DSCF0582
I bought it as part of the 3 for 2 in Boots not long ago and gave it a try 2 weeks ago, and I'm impressed! It applied very smoothly with one coat and dried semi matte, almost frosted in texture, which I was not expecting. It almost dries to a soft textured matte rather than quite rubbery as some brands matte polishes are. Best part is it stayed on for around 3 days without chipping too badly and I kept it on for a week and a half and at the end of that time it still looked great and that's without using a top coat or base coat! I'll definitely be investing in more when they release more colours!

There are currently 6 colours in the collection, priced at £3.99.

Giorgio Armani Blogger Event!

I was invited to come along to the Blogger event held in Cardiff Debenhams to see how to get an Armani Glow, and have a look and test some of Armani's products out at their pop up (Soon to be static) counter.



We were given a short demo on how to achieve a smokey eye look with a bold red lip using some of Armani's top selling products and must haves from their collection.

MAC Viva Glam Rihanna Lipstick Review and Swatches!

So for the past few years I have been purchasing Viva Glam lipsticks as I think it's a fantastic cause, and a lovely colour each cycle.
This year Viva Glam is represented by Rihanna, which instantly made me think that it's going to be a red lipstick and when it came out I wasn't surprised by my assumption being correct.
A cool toned red with a gold glimmer, this lipstick applies smoothly with glossy colour.


Price: £15
LIMITED EDITION.
Time trialed: 1 week.

No 7 Limited Edition Peony Petals Blush Palette Review!

I thought I would try something different so I picked up this lovely blusher in Boots. I usually go for matte blushers and add a highlight myself as I'd rather a flush of colour than a sheen wash.

It's gorgeously pressed with embossed flower petals, with a shimmery white highlight, shimmery peach and a glowing lilac colour in the center.
