Why, hello there...

So as part of our family holiday, we decided to visit some different cities instead of going abroad, this was for various reasons, but we've had lots of fun visiting Brighton and London. You can check out the post I did about Brighton here. 

We were in London to see the show Stomp in the evening so we thought we would make a day of it!

Of course we did all the tourist things of going past big ben and the London Eye, going through Trafalgar square. We stopped to have Lunch at Giraffe which was really nice (if not a bit expensive, but then again it is london)

Thhis is the bit I was excited about. We went over to Covent Garden where they have all the luxury stores and boutiques. I had a quick mooch about and finnaly plucked up the courage to go into mac and...I BOUGHT MY FIRST EVER MAC/HIGHEND PRODUCT! Needless to say I did feel very guilty afterwards but I'm loving it so far! I won't tell you what I got as I'll be doing a post on it soon! We also had a ride on one of the rickshaw bike rides you can get which was terrifying but very enjoyable see London in a different way.

Obviously you're not allowed to take pictures inside the theatre so I can't show you the set of Stomp but it was amazing and incredibly funny, definitely recommend seeing it! Search it on youtube first though, it's not a typical 'show'...

Hope you've liked this post! Don't forget to follow this blog to keep up-to-date and find out what mac product I bought!

What have you been up to this summer holiday?

Thanking you,

Why, hello there...

I spoke about my nail art in my post 'top 5 nail polish brands under £3' so here is a small selection of designs I've done before, with a few that are autumn-based and a few fun designs. I have been booked before to paint peoples nails for proms which I only charged £5 because I'm not a professional, but it does take time, and that's a pretty darn good price! If you do live in Northampton feel free to email me about possibly painting your nails, my email is in the Links/Contact page at the top on my blog.

What's your favourite design on here? Any design suggestions?

Thanking you,

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
