glitterpolishes

I am a huge glitter polish fan, I have quite a few in my collection & love wearing them. I don’t like removing it but I don’t think I’m alone there. I thought I’d have a look through my polishes and pick out my 5 favourite glitter polishes. It took me a while but I picked out these.

1. Barry M 264 Pink Iridescent – this is so pretty a perfect pink glitter top coat. I love the quality of Barry M polishes

2. Topshop 201 Razzmatazz – this looks great layered over blue or gray coloured polishes. I think out of all the glitter polishes I wear this one the most

3. Accessorize Illusion Gold Dust this is just a nice gold glitter which is great worn on its own

4. No7 Stay Perfect Silver Glitter – this looks great over any colour and the glitter is so chunky it’s really fun

5. Barry M 150 Red Glitter – this makes me think of Christmas and I love it for winter. It’s a really bright red glitter.

What are your must have glitter nail polishes?

NEON

Superdry Neon Pink Oriental Amber *

The first thing that you notice about this Superdry fragrance is the packaging its BOLD and really substantial. It is really fun and bright. I wasn’t too in love with it at first but it is something that grows on you. Not sure it would appeal to everyone tho. The fragrance itself is in a really nice bottle its heavy and feels quite luxurious. I think for their first ever fragrance they have done well with these. They fit right into their branding, on trend and great quality.

The Oriental Amber has a really fresh scent it’s quite sweet when you first spray it but it calms down on the skin and the scents really start to come through. It has lots of lovely notes including Jasmine, Vanilla, Sandalwood and Rose. I have to say it’s quite a grown up scent. Often with high street perfumes you need to wear quite a lot of product for it to last but that isn’t the case with this Superdry fragrance. A little lasts a long time and the scent really develops with time. I think these will be really popular.

The whole package is well put together. From the box to the bottle and the flip top cap and the perfume itself. They stand out and are really nicely presented.

I’ve surprised myself and have actually enjoyed wearing this. It is not the kind of sweet scent I tend to go for but it has been really nice to change it up. If you’re not into bright packaging don’t be put off. I think you will be genuinely surprised with this fragrance. Pop in and give it a test. Have you tried any of the other 3 fragrances? I quite like the sound of the Neon Blue.

Superdry have released 4 female fragrances Neon Pink Oriental Amber, Neon Blue Fresh Floral, Neon Orange Fruity Citrus and Neon Purple Creamy Ozonic. They are available in larger Boots Stores and in Superdry stores too. They all retail at £35 for 40ml.

Also what are your favourite perfumes. What do you always go back to?

* This perfume was sent to me for my consideration but the opinions are my own.

Wishlist #2

One / Two / Three / Four 

I forgot to post this on Wednesday so I thought I’d pop it up today. There are so many lovely products I’ve got my eye on at the moment and it happens to be my Birthday on Monday so I’m hoping to get some gift cards so I can pick up some makeup items.

I have heard great things about the Dr Jarts BB Cream and I really want to try it. I love BB creams and love the light coverage they give. Benefit have done it again with these cute sets. They are so sweet and think they’d make great gifts. I am a complete blush addict and have swatched this Soap and Glory blush loads in Boots – I think it’s a lovely flush of colour for Autumn and lastly the Kate Moss Lipsticks for Rimmel are so nice and I like the range of colours. I noticed that they’re on 3 for 2 at the moment in Boots so will definitely pick some up.

What is on your wish list?

September Product Empties

- Vicki 8 Comments

Who can believe its the end of September – well as I am late writing this It’s the first week of October. This year has felt like such a quick year. I’m turning 34 in less than a week and things seem to be moving a little fast for my liking. Anyway here are my empties for the month of September. I feel some are missing but as I moved house on the 14th of September I’m sure some were lost along the way. So these are the ones I managed to hang on too.

First up are……

1. Spa Find Dead Sea Bath Salts – These were sent to me for review and I have to say I really enjoyed using them. As I sai I moved house this month & there was a lot of heavy lifting and just general stress & these Salts were so nice in my bath. I would purchase them again.  2. Elizabeth Arden Optimizing Skin Serum – This small sample came in a Glossybox & I did like using it but find these sachet samples never make me go & buy the product. It’s just not enough to test it properly  I got 2 uses out of this & wont be going out to buy it anytime soon. 3. Simple deep cleansing face mask – I use these Simple Masks all the time & love them. They are so gentle & I always repurchase them.

4. Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Moisturizer SPF 15 – This 75ml bottle has lasted me for so long. It felt like it was never-ending. I picked it up earlier this year when i had quite dry patches on my skin & it worked well to clear them up. As my skin is no longer dry I have no reason to repurchase but I did really enjoy using it. 5. Origins Brighter By Nature Skin Tone Correcting Serum – LOVE this stuff and dreaded the day it ran out. I picked this up from a CCO in May and it has made my skin really bright and I will be repurchasing this its great. 6. Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Eye – I think for the price there is better eye creams out there. This is nice and hydrating but apart from that I didn’t see any amazing results. So won’t be repurchasing this.

7. Burt’s Bees Milk & Honey Body Lotion – Squeezed every last drop out of this tube. It’s so moisturising and smells amazing. Really liked it. Totally would repurchase again. 8. No7 Protect & Perfect Intense Beauty Serum – I’ve a few of these small samples that I’ve been using up since my Origins serum ran out. I like this No7 one & have owned the full size in the past. It’s very nourishing and makes your skin feel soft. I like it & may purchase a full size with the No7 Vouchers I have. 9. Botanics Soothing Eye Makeup Remover – I couldn’t wait for this to run out. I found it greasy and didn’t think it worked that great to remove my eye makeup 100% won’t repurchase. 10. Dr Bronners Magic Soap – I really enjoyed using this. I had a little reaction to a handwash I was using and this cleared it up and I found it left my hands really soft. I would repurchase this. 11. YSL Flash Radiance Skincare Brush – So sad when this ran out it was a lovely primer and left my skin feeling so soft & made applying my foundation so good. It looked flawless. I am hoping someone buys this for my bday or Xmas.

That’s the lot. If you have done one of these posts – leave me a link to it in your comment.
