Why, hello there...

I haven't done much spending recently, so I thought I would take a quick look in the pound shop whilst passing through town. I could have spent quite a lot, but I restrained myself and only bought a few things. I have to say I'm quite happy with the things I did get!

Hopefully I'll be doing a review of some sort on all these products so look out for them soon! I first saw the NYC concealer and really wanted to try it. I tried looking for it on the superdrug website but I couldn't see it anywhere, so I'm guessing it's either discontinued but I've seen a few people comment on some things from poundland being only available in the US, so maybe that's the case. I've tested it out a few times and really like it so far, so look out for a review!

I've seen quite a few bloggers talk about w7 nail polish, so I was pretty happy to find this. Also It's a gorgeous metallic gold so it's perfect for autumn/winter/christmas time.

I've never tried nail wraps, even though I used to do quite a lot of nail art. I found these along with a bunch of other designs so I can't wait to try them and see what they're like!

Have you ever got any great steals from the pound shop?

Thanking you,

Naomi.

Why, Hello there...

I've been really excited about this post! I went into town the other day and went into all the £1 or 99p stores. If you dont have these where you're from, basically everything in the shop is a pound. I've been in them before and seen some of these products before, but I found some new one which I was really excited about. This is what I got:

This first one isn' actually a 'big brand'. It's from a brand called Pink Tease and it's a black nail art pen. It has the nib bit at the top and the brush is long and thin, what you would expect from a nail art pen. The only problem I had when I first tried it was it came out a bit watery but I'm sure that will get less as I use it more. Normally nail art pens can be a lot, such as the Models Own pens, but this is a fantastic alternative!

This is the one I was most excited about. It's a Revlon Just Bitten kissable Balm Stain! They're normally £7.99 but this was only a pound! It's not the best colour for me (you can see it in the swatches below) as it comes out as quite a light pink. It's in the shade 035 Charm which I can't seem to find so maybe it's a discontinued shade or something? But its really nice and I think they may have had other shades in the shop which I shall look out for next time!

These are the Rimmel london Quad and Glam'eyes eye shadow. I really like the top colours, very autumn/fall appropriate! they also and a variety of these ones. The bottom colour I'm really not too keen on. I went to another £1 shop and they had loads more choice of these single eye shadows but I had already bought this one. The top one is normally £6.99 and the bottom one is £4.49.

This is another one I'm excited about. It's a Revlon nail polish in the colour 011 'Sheer Rose'. Again I don't know whether this is still available but it's such a pretty colour! Originally the Revlon nail polishes are £6.49.

And another great find! An O.P.I shatter nail Lacquer in 'Shatter the Scales' - Emerald Green. Can't find it again but they also had some other colours. Normally £11 (I think).

First 4 - Quad eye shadow, Blue - Glam'eyes, Pink - Relvon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain.

Hopefully now you can go out and find some bargains for yourself!

Thanking you,

Naomi

Just a quick post to let you lovely's know that there's an on-line sale for body shops body butter for half price of most of the 200ml pots. I only get the body butters if they're on sale because they're quite expensive, so now is the time to stock up! My favourite smell is the Satsuma one, what's yours?

Thanking you,

Why, Hello there...

I thought for my first actual beauty/fashion related post I would start with one that I can do fairly often or that can be done once a month. Charity shops are awesome. You can find some really good bargains and can sometimes find some familiar high-street labels for a lot less. Also you're doing your little bit for charity, which always makes you feel good. I used to work at my local 'Mind' charity shop so I got to see all the items that came through first and got first buy before they went out on the shop floor. 

These pieces are ones that I've had for a while from a variety of different charity shops, some of them I've actually never worn so I might be setting up an Ebay account to sell some of the items I buy, hopefully giving some of the money back to charity and the rest to running this blog (purchases, travelling out to buy thing, e.c.t). It's still very early days for this blog so we will have to see how it goes. Hopefully you will enjoy this post, please feel free to leave comments on whether you liked it or how to improve it!

thanking you,

Naomi
