Viva Glam Nicki

Ooh my goodness it is here ! After such a long and hugely teasing wait it is finally here ! The Viva Glam Nicki lipstick . Personal I bloody adore it but I'd probably say that about every MAC lipstick I buy because the lippies are my favourite product from MAC , it is a slight addiction you'd see if you saw my growing collection , I need storage for them because they are currently rolling across my desk . Anyway this Viva Glam before being applied to your lips looks a tad fluorescent and scary if you don't usually wear brighter colours on your face but once it glides on it is far less shocking . Its a pretty Satin finish which leaves your pout looking smoooooth and kissable . Warning though , it stains your lips , totally worth it though .

Story . . . I hit the MAC counter while shopping in Norwich last week to pick up a couple more lipsticks . While at the counter the girl serving me asked it I liked the lipstick she was sporting , to which I replied "yes , which colour is it ?" It was of course the new Viva Glam . I was like that's not out yet to which she was quite rude saying she had one which she was kind of reluctant to show me . Why ask me if you are gonna be such a cow about it ? It was like she was teasing me . I always seem to receive this kind of service at the MAC counter . . . Crap . I go for the product , not the service but that is not the point . Does anyone else get this ? 

Are you a fan of the new Viva Glam Nicki ?

Gosh Brow kit + Giveaway

Now don't get me wrong I do adore my HD brows palette which I recieved last year in a GlossyBox but I saw this GOSH dupe palette in Superdrug and thought why not give it a try ? It holds three different shades and a wax to set your untidy brows . With the HD shades it has four pans of colour but only one matches my brows which is a waste of most of the palette , where as with this palette from GOSH I could use all three shades provided . The pigment is good and helps create a beautiful brow arch to frame your pretty face . I only started filling in my brows last year and it is amazing how much of a difference if makes to your face , I found it took some getting used to but now I wouldn't leave the house without taming my brows .

 Giveaway

February GlossyBox

It is that time of the month again . . . GlossyBox ! Ooh not much to say really as I don't know what to think this month's box ? I feel bad saying so as I usually love what I recieve but this month I was not that impressed . I suppose after the last few boxes we recieved over Christmas and valentines I feel a little let down by what was in this months box . The products are good but I am more of a makeup fan if I am honest , thats the luck of the draw . Ahh well there is always next month to look forward to .

Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub

When you walk into Lush you are always overwhelmed by all the gorgeous smells from all the different soaps and bath bombs . And more often than not you want to take a little nibble at some of the products as they really do smell that good , good enough to eat . . . well now you can ! Not only does this lip scrub smell amazing but you can also eat it . An edible product , what more could you want .  

This product is made to remove and dead , dry skin from your lips . Get a good amount on your finger then gently scrub away . it leaves your pout smooth and ready for your lippy . II also comes in a yummy Mint Julip and Sweet Lips , 'd say and entire edible range is a super idea .

Topshop Adrenalin

Ooh this Topshop nail polish is sooo pretty , like super pretty . . . It's so sparkly ! Aww all the glitter . It is the first nail polish I have brought from Topshop as none had really ever caught my eye before but when I saw this one online I ordered it straight away , which was really lucky because it was an instant sell out ! I am a super sucker for glittery things , it's like having magic fingers . You can now see why it sold out so quickly . Glitter Sparkly Glitter . It is jam packed with differend fecks of glitter bits . I applied three thin coats and a top coat to seal it . I saw that it was available in a few stores so you can still pick it up if you are quick . Be quick or keep your eyes online .

Next To Me

  

Today being as I finally had a day off from work , Chels and I decided to take a trip out to see Hannie and have some lunch together , a lot of lunch in fact . We also did some light shopping while we were at it . As usual I Instagramed the happenings throughout the day as you'll see above . . . addiction gone wild , I even manager to download it onto my cousins phone today just to spread the bug around . 

Grr I again failed to track down some Real Technique brushes , I want them so badly !  Why can't I find them ? But I did get that groovy sexy jumper that Chelsea is modelling , I am wearing it already and I love it ! I'd tried it on over five times over January and have only now purchased it . . . you grow to like it , gonna be my new favourite slouchy jumper . When you see something you like , buy it there and then . 

Also I have decided I would really like a fur coat . Hannah's coat was so cosy , I could of rolled up and slept in it . Speaking of sleep , it is the weekend and I do hope you all have a good one but it is past my bedtime so that's all you are getting ; ] for now . SleepTight .

Mac BeachSand & HoneyLove

Another two lipsticks to add to my expanding collection of Mac Lipsticks , these lipsticks are my very favourite product from Mac ! Lipstick is most probably my favourite product to buy from any brand . I think it is the scent and high pigmented colour that does it for me with Mac . If you have never smelt a Mac lipstick then go into your local Mac counter and smell some , they are so yummy . These are becoming an addiction and as you'll see nudes are my fix . I always head straight for the lipsticks when a new collection comes out . I am like a child at Christmas when at the Mac counter . I love swatching all over my hands , it's something I weirdly adore doing . The way to my heart will always be with a fresh Mac lippy .

BeachSand (left swatch) is a Creme sheen Limited Edition shade from the Naturally Collection , this is the one I am wearing above . When this collection came out I was so excited because the nude colours were perfect for me and this lipstick gave me my fix . . . I love it . I would of brought The Perfect Day also but sadly it was out of stock and Mac customer service had no interest in finding one for me , which really disappointed me because Mac are one of my most loved brands and I do sometimes get left feeling a little dishearten by their staff .

HoneyLove (right swatch) is a Matt shade I have had my eye on for awhile again because it is quite a nude colour and I was placing an order online and thought why not add it to my basket ? Yet another nude .

What is your favourite shade from Mac ?

Nars Blush Bronzer Trio

Nars never fails to impress with any of their blushers and bronzers with super strong pigment and gorgeous colours . This compact palette holds three of the very best . Within this zippy palette holds a blush in Orgasm a warm pink blush with golden shimmer, a highlighting blush powder in Albatross , sheer light gold shimmer and the largest pan in the palette holds the infamous Laguna bronzing powder , which is a brown bronzer with a gold shimmer . I use this daily , whether for a little sunkissed grow with Laguna , which is buildable for stronger colouring and amazing for contouring (my swatch above does not do it justice , all need to be built up a tad) . Sometimes I use it for just a cheeky rosy tint with Orgasm . I think it retails at about £35 but it was a Christmas present and I can't recall the exact price either way worth every penny for the three in one palette , less bulk ! This product is a Nars best seller . I'd buy all products featured within this palette again , as you'll see my case is becoming a bit grubby so I'd definitely prefer their hard plastic casing .

Tip I find Nars is a tad cheaper from asos.com and can be a bargain during a sale .

Rimmel's Disco Gold

My nails have taken a real hit this month , with almost all of them breaking . So now they are looking a little stumpy , damn you acrylic nails ! It is treat time . The two Rimmel vanishes you'll see here are what I picked up the other day . . . the pastel greeny blue is 500 Peppermint and the gorgeous glitter infested one is a glitter topcoat 002 Disco Gold . Layered together they look so pretty , which is exactly what I brought them for . I love them , I love them , I love them . I think the Disco Gold would go really well over the top of any colour because its so cute and unlike other glitter vanished , I only needed to apply one coat to get the full effect of the glitter flecks . It is worth buying to get adventurous and see which colours you'd like to pair this sparkling varnish with . Applying this over the top can make you love a colour you originally hated .

* Out of all the glitter polishes I own this has to be the easiest to remove with nail vanish remover . I am sure you'll be aware if you use polish with high volumes of glitter in it that when I comes to removal it can be a chore because the flecks of glitter just don't want to budge . . . So thank you for this one Rimmel *

Are there any other Rimmel polishes you've tried that layer well together ?

Batiste Dry Shampoo

I picked up a few cans of Batiste Dry Shampoo today because it is currently 3 for 2 at Boots , Bargain . I love this stuff . Every scent smells so yummy , as you'll see above the newest smelly is cherry which smells so good , it comes in 14+ different scents and now even comes in shades to match your hair colour . But I am not a fan of this product because of the reason displayed on the tin .
I mainly use it because of being a blonde ! My roots are much darker than the colour that my hair is dyed . Applying Batiste's light white talc product to my roots make them appear much lighter than they actually are . This is a god send between dying sessions . If you are any shade of blonde and want to banish that regrowth then bung a mini can in your handbag for on the go .
Also another awesome reason to use Batiste is for creating that just rolled out of bed look , adding a bit of body and texture to messy updo's . So if your into backcombing and lazy looking hair this is the way to go .

Warning

1. An regular size can doesn't last very long at all , I go through a can so quickly and for the price per can (RRP £2.99) it can be a tad annoying having to repurchase so often .
2.  Dry shampoo can lay on top of your hair when not rubbed into your roots , therefore (learning for embarrassing past experiences) when photos are taken with a flash shampoo becomes visible , it looks like thick grey roots . So be careful there .
3. The coloured dry shampoo doesn't match every hair shade .

Are there any other dry shampoo's out there that you love and that you'd recommend ?
