Glossy Box // December 2014

 Hello everyone! 

I have been anticipating this December Glossybox for months now! With the festive season already upon us, it was a lovely additional surprise to receive a very festive looking glossy box! So lets take a look inside at what I received!

 1. Anatomicals Zap! Zap! Zap! Day and night spot stick-
I believe I have only ever received a product by Anatomicals once before in a glossy-box, so I was quite excited to see this product in this months glossy-box. My skin tends to be very temperamental at times, so I will be interested to see if this product helps when my skin breaks out!

2.  SkinPep Hydra Boost Acid serum-
With all this cold weather, I can't wait to test out this skin hydration serum on my dry skin! I have received a couple of different sample size SkinPep products, which I actually enjoyed using! So fingers crossed this particular product works!

3. TRESemme Renewal hair and scalp tonic-
The full size bottle of this Tresemme  Renewal tonic was the first product to catch my eye when I first opened my box. I normally use a wide range of Tresemme products, but this is one I haven't even heard of before and I can't wait to try it!

4. All That Jazz Professional Nail Lacquer-

Getting into the Christmas spirit lately I have been loving glitter and sparkly nail polishes, especially those from the Barry M range! However this sparkly top coat (Lauren's Miss fancy pants) looks amazing! One of these nail polishes from this range is actually priced at £9.98! 

5. Bellapierre Cosmetics Cheek and Lip stain

In past glossy- boxes I have received a Bellapierre lipstick and also a lip gloss and I have loved both products! The shade I received was coral and looks much brighter in the photo, however it doesn't actually come out as vivid (thankfully!)

Overall I am super happy with all of the items I received in this months box, in a way glossy box redeemed itself in my books as I was getting a little disheartened with some of the products in the other past boxes. With items that where only sample size to products I couldn't or wouldn't use. However this months box has totally reminded me why I love buying and receiving these beauty boxes!

Have you received any great products within any Glossyboxes lately??

L'Oreal Top Coat Nail Confetti

Hello everyone!

 I thought today I would share with you all the Top coat nail confetti from L'oreal. I love the use other sparkly top caot nail polishes, but the black and white confetti top coat, I think is very cute and quirky!

This is the finish result after I applied the black and white top coat confetti to my Models own red nail polish. I really love the results of this nail polish, even after one coat the black and white confetti do show up quite well, however I feel to get a better result at least two coats of confetti should be applied. 

Have you tried any Top Coat nail Confetti???

Models Own Nail Polish Haul!

This is my Models Own Nail polish Haul from the Half price sale they were having. I actually didn't find out about the sale until, practically the last minute when I saw someones blog post about it!

This is actually my first time purchasing and trying Models Own nail polishes, so I'm very excited! Unfortunately the sale is over now, but here are the items I purchased. 

 I thought the Sale which they had on was brilliant! Once you added the items you wanted to your basket, added the half price code and like magic...the total halved! It was such a bargain getting the nail polish for just £2.50 each instead of £5.00!

From Left to Right

Red Alert 

Coral Reef 

Pink Blush

Apple Pie (scented)

Indian Ocean

Boogie Nights

I honestly don't know which shade I am more excited about trying! I did, in some terms, play it safe with the shades I chose like the red and the pink, but I thought I might a swell purchase some staple nail colours as well as trying a few different ones!

Have you tried any of the Models Own Nail Polishes? What shades are your favourite?

Barry M Haul // Nail Paints

Hello there!

I have been loving all of the Barry M glittery and sparkly nail paints, I think they look so pretty and are brilliant value for money. 

From left to right - Amethyst £2.99

Duchess £3.99

Rose Quartz £2.99

Princess £3.99

I have tried and purchased the nail paint Amethyst before and loved the coloured sparkled nail look. Duchess and Princess are gorgeous, fabulous shades that are so bright and sparkle! Both of these nails paints are part of the royal collection and are slightly more expensive than the other nail paints. However these nail paints are certainly worth the money, glitter and sparkles are your finger tips. (Excuse the pun!)

Sally Hansen Salon Manicure Nail Polish Review

(From left to right) Frutti Petutie Mermaid's Tale Pedal to the Medal)

So today I thought I would review these Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Nail polishes. I purchased two of these nail polishes from Superdrug a while back and the other (Pedal to the Medal) I received as a gift.

Each of these nail polishes are £6.99, which I suppose is quite expensive compared to other brands and nail polishes. However they are quite big bottles and have actually lasted ages!

My favourite is the Mermaid's tale, not just because of it's name, but the blue and green flakes go so well together, which I think creates such a cool effect! 

What do you think of these Sally Hansen Salon Manicure Nail Polishes???

Sally Hansen Maximum Growth Nail Treatment (Quick) Review...

Confession time...I have a terrible habit. A habit of biting my nails. (DUNDUNDUN...) Okay so it might not be a big deal to many people as lots and lots of people do it....but the thing it I HATE IT!

 It isn't the act itself I hate, but I really can't stand my nails being really short. As I have this dislike for my nails being short I often wear fake nails, but sadly after removing my fake nails just the other day I found my real nails to be terrible condition...broken, short and very unhealthy looking.

After searching for nail products to help repair my nails, I stumbled upon this Sally Hansen Maximum Growth Nail Treatment in Boots. 

It was the 'Maximum Growth' part of this product which really caught my eye and I instantly began picturing my nails grown long and super healthy.

I have only been using this for a couple of weeks now, but I have already notice how much stronger my naul shave become. Which actually surprised me as my nails are usually very brittle and prone to breaking very easily!
