Barry M Limited Edition Glitter Polish

I picked up this lovely glitter polish from a car boot sale and adore it! It's a lovely silver glitter which when it hits a light goes red/green/yellow and every other colour it's a great find for only 50p. I put it on my nails without another colour underneath as I wanted to see how well it goes on as a top coat and it happened to look quite nice as just a single colour, so I painted all my other nails and wore it for around 10 days before removing.

I think it only lasted the 10 days as I couldn't really see any chips as it's a glitter I didn't really notice any, which is great. As it's a limited edition I'm not sure if its available from shops but it is worth having a look in boots its code is 335 as I know Barry M now have a great range of effect polish's out.

Barry M Lip Paint 121 - Pillar Box Red

I'm always after new lipsticks and after having a mooch for a new one I came away with Barry M's 121 a deep red with hints of orange. It's cost's only £4.49 a bargain for such a fantastic lipstick or lip paint as Barry M call it.

The packaging it's very basic with a gold Barry M logo on the top of the lid and a description of what lipstick you have on the bottom the rest is just plain matte black with a glossy black middle, I always like the Barry M packaging as it's never to big or outrageous so it sits in nicely with the many other lipsticks I own.

The texture is smooth and moisturizing while not drying out to quick I feel this is an all round good lipstick, although I need to re apply every few hours as it does smudge a little and wear off, which I don't mind as it's always nice to go touch up your make up!

You can purchase Barry M from most Superdrug or Boot's stores as well as online at there own website, for £4.49 you can't go wrong!

#BloggersWLW Week Nine

It's been around two weeks of me being on Weight Watchers so I thought I would give you an update, to be honest I was worried I would gain rather then loss as the Slim Fast diet was so strict and I was pretty much on liquids but I was pleasantly surprised. A typical day for me is Tea and Brevita breakfast biscuits, a sandwich and quavers and a weight watchers meal, after all of that I still have points left for a treat in the evening.

After two weeks I decided to weigh myself and I was happy to see I've lost 4 pounds and I feel fuller then on Slim Fast as well as still being able to have treats and all the yummy food I love! I know have a good reason to lose weight as on the 25th April i'm bridesmaid for my sisters wedding, we have picked the dresses and mine fits but its very snug so by April I want the dress to be a bit loose so I need to lose around another 5-10 pounds!

How have you all done this week? Let me know!

Dream Matte Mouse Review

This foundation has always been a hit and miss for me as I adore it in summer but tend to hate it in winter, as it's quite a thick product for summer it tends to stay on my face and won't budge but in winter it dries my skin out and cause such bad breakouts I can't bare it! So this is an odd review it's a welcome to my favorite/most hated product!

Packaging is great for this product it has a thick glass bottom and a twist top with the product name and brand name. It seems rather small and it may seem like you are paying out loads for such a small about of product but I always get 2-3 months worth of product from these little pots.

The foundation is a mouse which is a thick creamy foundation which I find easier to apply with my fingers as sponges don't spread it well and brushes leave quite thick brush marks.It has a matte effect so no shimmer or shine which makes it easy to apply lip and eye products without over doing it. When I apply my foundation in the morning it tends to last me around 4-6 hours before I need to top up my make up so it's not an all day foundation but as the pot is so small it's easy to re apply on the go.

The only problem for me as stated above is in the winter even with moisturiser or a serum it dries my skin out so bad that I will have massive breakouts. So for the summer as an alternative I will reach for this pot at only £7.69 from Boots and Superdrug, it comes in a fantastic range of shades.

OPI Nail Lacquer Super Bass Shatter Review

I was given this product in my Secret Santa box this year and am pleasantly surprised with how well it worked and the end results. I was at first stuck with what polish to place under the purple so I had a mooch online and saw that people were using a pink so I went for my Barry M Bright Pink and also used my Orly Base coat as I would be applying quite a lot on my nails so I wanted to keep my nails nice and protected.

So I painted my nails and waited for them to dry and then painted them with the Opi nail varnish which at first looked like normal nail varnish and then began to crack and create a shattered effect on my nails. It looks great and works really well over the pink, it also reminds me off mini eggs the design you sometimes get on the eggs!

The paint lasted around 2-3 days on my nails so it wasn't a great formulation but if I use a top coat next time I'm sure I can push it to 4-5 days. The price was £10.95 but as this is from the Nicki Minaj range and they no longer stock it you can find the range now on Amazon and Ebay at £3.95.

The Five Word Make Up Tag

While browsing some blogs tonight I found a great tag and as I enjoy doing them I thought I would give it a go. It is over on Chloe's blog and it's called The Five Word Make Up Tag and here's the idea :

• List your favorite make up products and describe why you like them in 5 words
• At least one product for each category: Eyes, Lips and Face
• Phrases such as 'high coverage' count as one word - if you were just to say 'high' it would be pretty vague and so use a phrase where you see fit, another example being 'Long Lasting' being one word.
• When you finish the tag, tag 5 other people to take part! Let them know that they've been tagged, too.

Beauticology Pink Peppermint Body Butter

I received this item as a gift in my Secret Santa swap and have only really started to use it as I was using up another body butter. It's from the company Beauticology a sister company to Baylis and Harding they do all sort of bath and body goodies including the Pink Peppermint Body Butter. There prices range from £3-£10 depending on the type of item you are buying, I only seem to find them at Christmas but I'm sure there is a store out there that stock the range!

The scent of the product is rather mild it has a nice peppermint scent with smells like candy canes, it's not to sickly or to sweet I find it just right. It is classed as a body butter but it is rather smooth and thin compared to other body butters I would class it as a moisturizer instead but it still works great. I use body butters mainly after shaving or if I'm having a pamper evening I usually apply to all over my body so for me I only had around 4-6 uses out of the 30ml tube. I did however notice how it left my skin feeling soft and how it absorbed really quick.

I would to try out some more products from the Beauticology range and hopefully I can find them in store and not just at Christmas, if you know a store which stocks the range let me know!
