On My Nails: Barry M Chai

Now we're in the colder months again I can bring back the grey nails YASS! throughout the spring and summer I opted for more colourful nails but the grey is back baby! I've been in love with grey for almost a year. I even painted my room grey and if you know me you know how much I adore colour so it's definitely a strange obsession. But alas, I love it.

Here I'm wearing Chai by Barry M and it's such a beautiful shade of grey, I want to say this is a blue toned grey? But I'm not very good with colours so..

When I was repainting my nails for these pictures, I decided to add an accent nail of glitter because I saw it on pinterest. I was going to a Christmas party that night so the glitter really glammed them up! I can't stop admiring them every time I look at my hands. Even now when I'm typing haha ;)

What do you think?

A Rimmel London Review: New Kate Moss Nude Lipsticks

Well unless you live under a rock (or don't give a rat's arse about beauty.. in which case, unless you're beyond bored, I don't recommend you read this) you'll of probably heard that Rimmel London has launched new Kate Moss lipsticks in a nude collection. I think Kate Moss is a model or something but she could be an astronaut for all I know. What I do know is that Kate Moss' lipsticks are the bomb.com so when I heard about these it was inevitable that I was gonna pick one up, well two actually ;)

I'm pretty sure there are 5 shades in the collection and then one lip barm thing?

I picked up the two darker colours; 45 and 48 as the others looked a little too light for my liking as they looked like they would make me look like I have "concealer lips" which isn't very hot and "you look ill" as my old head of year would say, haha. But I haven't tried them so I can't judge.

So here number 45 and number 48 in my attempt to be photograpery ;)

 

That photograpy effort tho...

Oh boy, now to attempt to describe them..

 45, on the left, is very smiler to my beloved 03 only this is slightly more sheer and pink toned (I think haha) It's also quite similar to my natural lip colour so it just adds a little something without shout "I'M WEARING LIPSTICK", if you know what I mean.

48, on the right, is defiantly my favourite out of the two. It's kind of like a coffee toned nude and reminds me of on Rachel on friends has worn before. I love my statement red lips, as you will know if you read my blog but bold nude lip is very refreshing and I've been reaching for this one a lot!

Please excuse my peach fuzz aha

also please ignore how messy it it is, I did it very quick and rushed 

They don't last very long on the lips but they wear quite evenly so there is no weird lines on your lips after an hour or so. Over all, I'm quite chuffed with them, especially 48!

If you're interested you can find them here or in most drugstores :)

And can we give me points for effort for curling my hair? Like seriously it never happens and short hair is super hard to curl aha.

Whale that's all folks!

Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed ^.^

Have you tried these out or want to? Leave me a comment!

Have a super fantastic day,

CYA!

A Rimmel London Review: New Kate Moss Nude Lipsticks

January Favourites

`

I can't believe January has been and gone and it's now mid February! I don't even know what I did with my life but I do know these are a few things I loved in the month:

• Tangle Teezer Salon Elite Blue Blush
   

Hands down the best brush I've ever used. Before getting my hair cut on Saturday my hair was quite long. It always got itself into a matted, knotty monstrosity and made me wanted to go Bald never mind short (especially when it was windy) But then I got one of these bad boys for Christmas and it changed my life. It glides through my hair so easily, it's like magic!

• Rimmel Kate Matte Lipstick Wine 107

Berry lips are in this winter but being blonde and pale, I felt like dark lips would make me look even paler and look too in your face. Then I found this lipstick. I'll admit I originally picked it up because it's one of Zoella's favourites and she's one of my favourite people.. also because it's so raved about and I have to join the rave. It's a berry red wine colour so it's still dark and vampy but not TOO dark and vampy that I look scary :)

• Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Chai

I've been loving grey so much lately! I'm not quite sure why either because I used to hate it because it was a depressing colour and I'm not about rainbows and happiness. But I love it now and this is a beautiful shade of it. A dark dove grey it what I would call it because Don't know what chai is.. what ever it is, it looks beautiful on my nails. It's somewhere between wearing black or white nail polish, not as dark or light and not as in your face.

• Maybelline Falsies Mascara Flared Black

This mascara loves my lashes and my lashes love it. I naturally have long lashes but they're practically invisible because their blonde and point downwards so this mascara is just what I needed; it makes them black and flare out, ooh lovely!

• Soap & Glory Glad Hair Day Shampoo  

I got a tube of this shampoo for Christmas and used it from then for nearly every hair wash throughout January until it ran it out. I think I got about 10-15 washes out of it. I can't quite decide what it is about it I like. It gave my hair a texture which made it feel super clean and at the same time bouncy and not slippery. I'm defiantly going to repurchase the next time I'm in boots and I'll look for a full size one.

• Topshop MOTO Black Binx Jeans

I don't think I've ever been quite so in love with a pair or jeans but these jeans are like my alter ego, they make me feel confident and sassy! ;) They're high waisted which means that they don't fall down and they're are super comfortable. I have noticed that they lose colour quite quickly but other then that I love em'!

• Twitter

I finally got into twitter and actually know how to work it now! XD I've also discovered how super lovely the blogging community is. I've found so many great blogs on there and I love sharing mine on there :)

• Teen wolf

At first I was mainly interested in the hot teenage werewolf  but then I got to season three and the plot went from pretty good to frickin' amazing! There's so many times where I'm wrapped in a blanket cocoon just screaming at the screen things like "TEAM EPIC BADASS WEREWOLF NINJAS UNITE!" "NO DON'T DO IT! *GASP* OMG NO!" and "KISS! KISS! OMG KISS ALREADY!!"  ..Some made say I'm a little obsessed.. I give no argument.

• Mini eggs

I've consumed so may bags that I may turn into an egg.. They're just so good! I'm going to put a stop to this madness next week when lent starts by giving up chocolate again.. but until then.. haha ;)

Okay so they're are my favourite things from January..

 Thanks for reading!

Hope you enjoyed ^.^

What's your favourite things?

Have a super fantastic day!

My Pinterest Obsession

There's no hiding the fact that I'm obsessed with Pinterest. It's the place I go to for inspiration and I certainly fine it there! It's one of my favourite social medias and I don't even use it to be social, in fact it probably makes me more unsocial ;)

When I first got Pinterest I didn't care for it much because it looked confusing but after a while you could say I got used to it because I now have 18 boards and 2247pins.. oops? This tends to happen with all social medias, like I didn't understand instagram at first and now I have an art account and Twitter scared me.. But it's different with Pinterest. Pinterest is my selfish place where I only Pin things that I want to Pin! haha okay, I'm not trying to be selfish but it's true ;)

Hiding my love of Pinterest from this Blog would be like hiding I'm secretly a pop star and go by the name of Hannah Montana.. not as exciting? you clearly haven't witnessed the awesomeness of pinterest! :D

So here's mine:

• projects to try (24 pins)

This board is for when I find a DIYs I like but they don't fit in with my other boards. Like how to make a wand.. you know just casual stuff

• roomspiration (263 pins)

Roompiration is a board filled with room inspiration for my bedroom, mainly DIY room decorating ideas. I'm kind of obsessed with room decor and I honestly don't think there's a DIY room decor youtube video I haven't watched..

• Christmas (402 Pins)

Around Christmas time last year I got a little too excited some might say.. I like to call it enthusiastic participation :D In this board there's things like decor, gift ideas, treats and just all things CHRISTMASY! .. it's a beautiful place! ahh..

• Costume ideas (71 pins)

I started pinning Halloween costumes around august? in my Halloween board and then I found some costumes I liked but weren't halloweeny enough in my opinion, one thing lead to another and now here we are with costumes for all occasions!

• Generally awesome things (17 pins)

You know that drawer we all have that we put all the random sh*t in that doesn't seem to fit anywhere? Yeah? (haha I rhymed /).^) well this board is my "junk draw" of pinterest and I genuinely don't know what's in there aha

• nail art (124 pins)

When I first left secondary school after my GCSE exams I got really into nail polish because it was the first time I could wear it for a week without having to take it off (which isn't actually the case because I have to take it off on Thursday for ccf and weekends for work :( ) I'm yet to try most of these but it will happen!

• art journal inspiration (160 pins)

Like I said in a previous post I tend to pick up hobbies and interests a lot and art journaling was one of them, my interest in it has faded some what as I liked watching videos of other artists creating them but never really got time to do them my own. I'll probably start again when I'm older and when I have more time.

• hand lettering (12 pins)

Not really sure when or why I made this board but I'm presuming I saw some fancy lettering and had to put it somewhere :)

• prom hair styles (8 pins)

My prom was in June last year and at the time I guess I was looking for a hairstyle and voila! I probably won't use this board again but I don't have the heart to delete cause you know, memories and all

• Erador inspiration (509 pins)

Aha okay I kind of have this whole fantasy world and a story in my head that I've never told anyone about.. so I thought I'd tell a couple of random people on the Internet xD In this board I keep images that give me inspiration for my fantasy novel(s). I wont tell you anything else as I plan on writing it when I'm older and more experienced :) ((and by "in my head" I mean I literally think about it ALL the time! whenever I'm day dream (50% of the time) I'm usually mentally playing my story inside my head and creating characters, plots, histories and dynamics of my world.. is that weird? ))

• drawing inspiration (334 pins)

I use this frequently to give me ideas for what to draw when ever I have drawer's block. Oh the creativity that this board holds!

• Halloween (57 pins)

Just like I got excited for the run up to Christmas, I got excited -but not as excited- for Halloween. This board has costumes, treats and decorating ideas!

• Autumn (9 pins)

I started to get excited for autumn after watching American youtubers and seeing how "tumblr" they made it look.. and then it got cold and it made me sad that the leaves weren't autumnal colours like yellow and orange because they were all muddy and smushed together as it rains a lot so I stopped looking.. CURSE YOU BRITISH WEATHER CURSE YOU!

• Game of Thrones (5 pins)

I am obsessed with the TV show Game of thrones and saw some pictures while I was a browsing my feed that I couldn't not make a board for!

• Fashion inspiration (145 pins)

This board is mainly what inspired my lust list and it really shows my sense in style, even if I don't own half the items to make the outfits :( but I can dream! (and hence the lust list!)

• A.L.I.C.E

 This is just where I've started sharing my blog posts :)

• hair and makeup inspiration

And the last board I have so far is where I store any picture of hair and makeup I like. I've been using this a lot lately as I'm trying to get better at doing eyeshadow and there are  lots of useful pins!

Okay, so that's my Pinterest so far. I absolutely love it and think I may be addicted to it as I can spend hours at a time on it!

You'll probably here a lot of Pinterest on my blog form now on like "top pins" and stuff :)

Thanks for reading

Hope you enjoyed  ^.^
