W7

So the other day I got a parcel from my postman, I was super confused as I was sure I hadn't ordered anything, and I basically screamed when I opened it. I'm not used to getting things sent to me from companies, I've only had a few things sent and it still seems so bizarre to me that people choose me to let the public know what I think.

W7 ran a bloggers competition to review their new lipstick the other day, however I was at work so I missed it, I was not too happy! But when I emailed them they said they would send me a few bits to take a look at, I wasn't expecting all this!

I received the Prime Magic, Make Up & Glow Bronzing Base, Full Colour Lipstick in 'Tides', The Fixer and Nail Polish in '87 Pistachio'. I am so in love.


The primer is very matte, it is so different to the one I use at the moment and I wasn't sure I liked it at first, it just felt a bit odd. But it made my skin feel so so amazing and there was no shine which I love. I'm sure they read my mind as I was very close to running out of my primer and I was having a little panic whether to buy the same one again or try out a new one.

The Bronzing base is too dark for me as I am basically a ghost, however it works well for contouring!


















The lipstick is crazily bright and took me a while to get used to, but it is such a nice colour. It feels like a lip balm, more like I'd used my baby lips rather than a lipstick, it just felt so smooth and not lipstick like - in a good way!





I love using a fixer after doing my make up, and the one I am using at the moment just doesn't seem to end, they last so so long. This one smells really good and it's something I use every day.


The nail varnish is such a beautiful colour, as I wear black quite a lot it really works well. As you know I am so so terrible at painting nails so please excuse the mess!
It did chip quite quickly but whatever nail varnish I use it chips really quick so I'm not sure how it would work on 'normal' nails, I must just do a lot of stuff that makes my nails chip! This was after one/two coats, some nails only needed one, they are slightly see-through however another coat would've sorted that.






Thank you so much W7 for my presents, I absolutely love them. And thank you guys for reading this and reading my blog in general, without you I wouldn't get cute stuff like this!

Byeeeeeeeee.

My Nail Varnish Collection

So as I mentioned in my perfume post, a lot of my stuff is still in the garage from moving house (I am so useless) but I thought I would do a post of some of my nail varnishes. These are probably my favourite ones, missing one or two out! They range from £1 to about £11 I think the most expensive one was. I've never been very good at painting my nails, and I'm not allowed them painted for work so I never tend to splash out on the more expensive brands, however after exploring different brands I know how crap some cheap ones can be, however some more expensive ones can also not be too good!












My Nails are genreally really good but sometimes they need a bit of TLC, I love the Avon Nail Experts nail varnishes, the one on the left is 'peeling and britleness solver' and the one on the right is 'Tough Enough' base/top coat, they both help restore my nails when they aren't feeling 100%.







Hope you enjoyed this post, if you have any suggestions on nail varnishes to try then let me know!

Cheap Make-up VS Big Brand Make-up

Hey guys! So as you all probably know by now, I like to try to spend as little as possible but still get good quality. Recently I bought some Mac products which I am completely in love with, I can really see the obsession, but I still think they are overpriced, as are a lot of other brands. Personally I don't have the money to spend a lot on make up, which is why I would much prefer to explore the cheaper brands and try to find something I like. It's better to spend £1 on a lipstick and decide you don't like the shade, rather than £20 and then lose out. That is my view anyway!

At the moment I am loving MUA at Superdrug and Seventeen at Boots. Both are super cheap but still really good make up, and I hate to say it, but I still prefer these to my more expensive brands such as Mac. I will always be a bargain hunter and prefer good deals but these two brands are just crazily cheap for what they are. I have a few bits from MUA including eye shadows, lipsticks and nail varnishes and  I have loads of items from Seventeen, the foundation, eyebrow kit and mascara are in my 'everyday' make up bag, which says a lot!

These are a few pictures if some of the things I own, from MUA and Seventeen. As you can see some packaging is nicer than others, which is obviously very important because if it doesn't look nice then you wont want to buy it, but I think most of them are presentable, some very nice looking.

















Thank you for reading and let me know your views!
