Barry M Haul

























Hands down, Barry M has to be my favourite and most trusted brand ever. Having used these for years I have built up a little collection thanks to the 3 for 2 offers!
I recently picked up these colours which I thought would be perfect for summer but with this weather being as moody as it is I don't think there actually is a summer! 

Blueberry 
Considering this was a Gelly nail paint, It had the exact same texture and consistency as all of the other polishes. Without flash the colour looks more of a lilac than blue, I found this to take the longest to dry out the lot but It's worth waiting for pretty summery nails and I can see myself wearing this a lot.

Mint Green 
I'm never brave enough to wear super light colours on my nails but this is such a fun bright colour for any occasion. This colour would look great with a tan an some glitter to add that extra touch.

Strawberry 
This is probably my least favourite out the bunch, the colour is really pretty but I found it to take hours to dry and even when I thought it was dry it was tacky. The colour is quite subtle and would look beautiful for holidays.

Pink Flamingo
My ultimate favourite colour ever, this has to be my most favourite in my whole nail polish collection. I have purchased this plenty of times over the years and its so lovely for all year round! defiantly worth a purchase

My week in nails


































So I haven't been bothered to do my nails this week as I had these little pretty things on! I purchased these from savers costing around £1.99! I don't want to take these off so I'm defiantly going back to purchase more :)

What are your nails like this week?

Sally Hansen | DRY KWIK | Nail colour dryer























I paint my nails at least 3 times a week & being the most impatient person ever, this is a daunting thing for me to do as its very time consuming. I have eyed this nail polish up a few times now but only just decided to give it a go. Priced around £1.99 in B&M Stores it was pretty much a bargain.

I used this over a pink polish and set a timer, under a minute I had perfectly dry nails! How amazing!
The only disappointment I had with this product is that it left my fingers feeling greasy & oily but I don't mind as long as my nails are dry in no time.

I seriously recommend this product to anyone who hates waiting for their nails to dry or to anyone who doesn't have this in their nail polish collection

Have you tried this product? what do you think?

Makeup on a budget!
























So again I went into my local Poundworld and picked up some goodies! You will always find some cheap makeup brands such as Rimmel, Sleek, Maybelline and Revlon. Everytime I pass, I have the urge to go have a sneak peak what they have to offer. You can also find cheaper brands sold in savers, body care & other pound shops too.
I picked up a sleek mascara in 'black' I have never seen this mascara in Superdrug before but having tried sleek products before I was excited to see what this mascara had to offer. I love the brush it is easy to use and gives you great length to your lashes, defiantly worth the price.
I then seen two lipsticks, one from Rimmel and the other Sleek. I have picked up a few Rimmel lipsticks from Poundworld before but they haven't been the best of colours. I was also skeptical about buying a nude lipstick as The ones I have bought before were not nice but I really Love the colour and constancy of this. For a £1 you cannot complain! And since wearing it I have had many compliments on my lips!
I did not realise how dark the sleek lipstick was until I opened the packaging but it still a pretty colour and it is super soft on your lips.
Last but not least Is the nail polishes. I always pick as many up as I can when I go but they only really had 2 colours that caught my eye. Firstly the NYC Spring Street, This is the perfect colour for this spring and it is very pigmented, I love it so much and cannot believe the bargain! I purchased another Rimmel nail polish too, this time in a deep blackcurrant  So perfect for when you are in a rush and need a quick manicure as it dries quick and only needs one coat to look good!

Have you purchased anything from a pound or dollar shop? They have some amazing bargains.
