OOTD & FOTD: Barry M Mushroom

Once again sorry for lack of posts this week. My last exam is on Monday so expect more posts coming up next week. :)

I went into London last night and here's my outfit and my make-up featuring the new Barry M dazzle dust I picked up...


Outfit -
Jeans - Dorothy Perkins (as usual!)
Sandals - Tesco
Top - Primark
Bracelets - Accessorize
Beads - Given as a gift so unknown!

I also wore a teal fitted blazer from H&M but didn't manage to get a pic!

Now onto the make-up...


The Barry M dazzle dust in Mushroom. What do you think?


On my lips I mixed Bourjois Eau de Gloss (rose vitamine) with Avon Colortrend (be mine)


And I thought I'd show you the end of the Avon lipstick because it's shaped as a heart..how cute :)

So overall I wore:
17 Hide Away Concealer
Avon Invisible Light Concealer
Maybelline Great Lash Mascara
Avon Kajalstick in Purple
Benefit eyebright (yes I picked one up in glamour mag too hehe!)
Barry M Dazzle Dust in Mushroom
Avon Colortrend in Be Mine
Bourjois Eau de Gloss in Rose Vitamine

More Buys, Help & Almost 100 followers!

Hey girls,
Sorry for the lack of posts this week, I had a lot of exams but I'm now enjoying the weekend and the fact I have only 4 more exams to go before I'm finished! :D

Following my last ever Maths paper on Friday morning I decided to go shopping and of course I managed to pick up a few things....



Shorts, £12.99 and Top, £5.99 Both H&M


Skirt, £9.99 Zara


Hairclips, £1.99 H&M and Barry M Dazzledust in shade 51 Mushroom (I used my free voucher from More, but they are usually £4.50)

I also wanted to ask your help - I'm searching for a pair of simple, heeled brown/tan sandals for under £40. I remember seeing loads last summer and now that I would like a pair I can't find anything anywhere. I'm not a fan of the gladiator or lace up styles which I seem to see everywhere, so if anyone has seen something then please let me know! :)

And finally, I'm currently at 96 followers so almost 100! I'm amazed to be honest at the number of you guys who are following, reading what I've got to say and leaving lovely comments....I really appreciate it so a big THANK YOU!! :D

Enjoy the weekend! xo

Nail Polish Collection!

Hey guys!

I've seen a few people show us their nail polish collection, so since I had a mahoosive clear out yesterday I thought I'd show you mine! Actually most of them are my mum's, but we share them so it's all good haha!
It's a bit hard to see the exact shades from the pictures, so if you want to know more just ask :)











Hope everyone's having a lovely weekend! xo

NOTD: yay or nay?

Hello!
This is the nail polish I've been wearing for almost a week now, it's the Barry M freebie I got with Top of the Pops magazine (see more about that here). When I first got them the green was the colour I wanted to try the most because I thought the colour looked really pretty and retro plus I don't think I've ever had green nail polish on before! I had to put two fairly thick coats on in order to get the colour just right and although this usually makes nail polish easier to chip I'm really impressed to say that after 5 days it still looks okay.



So as you can see, it's definitely green! However I'm really undecided whether I like it or not. I thought it was a really cool colour at first and perfect for spring, and then I went to see my grandma and she gasped and said it was "witchy green" (not exactly the look I was aiming for lol). So let me know, is green nail polish a go-er or not?!

Hi :)

I went out with my family last night to a family friend's house for dinner. It was really lovely, food was delicious and here's what I wore....





Outfit
Black top - Dorothy Perkins
Beach kaftan - Tesco
Jeans - Dorothy Perkins (These are my usual skinny jeans but I decided to turn them up since the weather has been beautiful!)
Shoes - Marks & Spencer

I also did my make-up (very quickly lol) and took a couple of pics, however the lighting was impossible to get right so it's hard to tell what I'm wearing and I also look very pale :(




Face
Maybelline the falsies mascara
Collection 2000 sheer moist foundation
Barry M Kohl pencil
A gold shimmer eyeshadow (sorry no idea where it's from, the label has worn off)

Enjoy! xo

Barry M Cosmetics Freebie

Hi guys!
I just wanted to give you a little heads up about a really cute deal at the moment. Free with this month's issue of Top of the Pops magazine are 3 mini Barry M nail paints! I have never bought this magazine before, but saw the nail polishes and had to get it. I'm a sucker for cute packaging and the little bows won me over haha! The magazine retails at £2.45, which I think is a lot for the magazine's content, but for the nail polishes alone it is well worth it (they actually retail at £2.95 so a great bargain!)





Enjoy! xo

Hi there!
It's been a couple of days since I made my last post but I now have reason to blog! :) I painted my nails yesterday using a Barry M nail polish I got at the Clothes Show a few months ago. I have to admit that I had never tried any Barry M products but I decided to buy a goody bag at Clothes Show and see if it's all as lovely as everyone else says it is! For £10 I got a bunch of products (nail polish, eye glitter, eye pencils and lipglosses), some of which I passed on to other people as Christmas presents (lol) as I wasn't a fan of the colours!

The nail polish I tried this weekend is called Barry M Mulberry Pink. It's a very pale pink, so in order to cover up the white's of the nails you really need 2-3 thick coats. I find this a bit off putting as I love strong colours on nails, but I thought I'd try something different and I have to say I think the colour is really pretty! I've found that this nail varnish hasn't lasted that well. I painted it on yesterday and already it's coming off at the tips. Overall I would give this product 6/10. The colour is pretty but I really can't see it lasting any longer than 3 days.

Also, while I'm on the topic of nails, you'll see from the pictures below that my cuticles aren't in the best of shape. I find in the winter that they go red, crack and become really dry. It's horrible. I've been using No.7 Nourishing Nail and Cuticle Cream since December and I would definitely recommend it! I rub a small amount onto each cuticle every morning and find that it really helps to moisturise and restore damaged cuticles! For those of you living in the UK I suggest you get this with your £5 No.7 voucher which are being given out at Boots at the moment :)




Enjoy! xo
