Eyeshadow Palette


SUN IN LONDON YESTERDAY! YES SUN!
I believe that sun puts everyone in such a good mood, well it makes me in a better mood that's for sure. The weather yesterday where I live was SUNNY and I literally cannot believe I'm writing that as a few days ago I was absolutely freezing with about 3 layers of clothes on - including fluffy socks the lot! It seemed the complete opposite yesterday and I'm so happy that the warm(ish) weather has finally arrived, hopefully for the long term too.

I took full advantage of the bright, sunny weather as I took a few photos of a new eyeshadow palette from Crown Brush UK. It has some gorgeous colours that I can experiment with and I hope the pictures I took really show the true colours! I personally like to stick to having a neutral eye and nothing to dramatic, maybe the odd bit of eyeliner but never a full dramatic cat eye look or anything like that. I do really want to try something different and with the diverse amount of colours in this palette I believe I can do that.

This palette is called 'Smoke it Out' and is available on their website.

What do you all think of the eyeshadow colours? Would you use any of them?

HAUL: Vero Moda

This is a shop that not very many people have heard of, but I absolutely love this shop. I always find such amazing pieces in there that I know I'll wear all the time. The prices aren't overpriced that much, the prices are around Topshop/New Look prices. I don't mind paying that little bit extra for something I know I will get the wear out of. 
The scarf has the most beautiful pastel colours on it & it just adds that extra little bit of colour to a plain outfit. I'm usually wearing a lot of black so this is perfect to brighten it up. I haven't seen any scarfs with this kind of design on them - it reminds me of the marble effect - the effects you used to do when you were in primary school! (please say I'm not the only one who remembers or done this?!)
The top was also available to buy in white but as I've said previously in this post I like wearing black! I loved the cut out design on the top and I must say it looks really nice on too. 

I'm extremely happy with both of my purchases from there (as always!) & as an added bonus I get 10% off for being a student YEAHHHH! 

SCARF: £16.00
TOP: £18.00

What do you all think of what I bought? Do you ever purchase things in Vero Moda?

Product NOT worth the hype | Barry M

Shade - Kingsland Road

This product is NOT worth the hype around it at all, I was extremely disappointed with this. I expected it to give me a really nice textured finish but instead it ended up giving me a finish that looked like I had cotton wool stuck on my nails. 
It was nothing what I expected it to be and I honestly wouldn't recommend this nail varnish - don't waste your money! 

This has been the first Barry M nail varnish that I've not been impressed with as I absolutely LOVE the new gel finish ones that have been brought out so look out for a post on those. 

What do you all think of the textured nail varnishes from Barry M? Do you have the same opinion as me?

RIMMEL VINYL GLOSS | QUICK REVIEW



If you had read one of the previous posts you would have seen the lip gloss I bought; the Rimmel London Vinyl Gloss in the shade 'Pin Up'.

Since that post, I have used this lip gloss quite a lot and I must say I absolutely love it. It gives me a nice colour to my lips without the need of any lipstick underneath and the colour stays on for quite a while. I did need to reapply it about 2/3 times but I honestly don't mind doing that if it's going to give me a finish that I like.

What do you all think of this lip gloss colour? Have you tried any of them?
