My 3 Favourite Polishes Right Now


I have become super lazy with my nails recently and have been wearing the same two shades on repeat for about 3 months now! 
The first, my all time favourite, the one I whip out every time I'm not sure what colour to go for - Rimmel Salon Pro Polish in the shade Red Award. I have a feeling that this might be discontinued but I have made it my mission to seek out the last few bottles and purchase them all!! Its a classic berry red shade that looks stunning on the nails and this formula is amazing as it lasts ages without chipping and looks super glossy.

I had never really been a fan of grey on the nails until this year when I decided to give it another go, and I have been converted. This Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint in the shade Chai is the perfect grey. It's cool toned but with a hint of blue undertones meaning it doesn't look stark against your skin and the formula of these polishes is always on point, this one is no exception.

Finally my base coat/ strengthener is the reason my nails are in such good condition, it keeps my nails strong, healthy and growing long and is the perfect base coat. It has the tinniest amount of pigmentation in a gorgeous sheer pink, so if you want to give your nails a rest its amazing to have on its own and not look completely bare. As you can tell I am more than halfway through this, a telling sign that it is one of my all time faves!

Lots of love,
Son x

The Shampoo That Saved My Hair

Image
Well that title sounds rather dramatic doesn't it! I'll give you a bit of background info about my hair, its all round difficult to manage, my ends get extremely dry if I don't take good care of them, my roots get extremely oily about 10 minutes after washing (only a slight exaggeration) and my scalp if stripped only slightly too much will begin to flake, how lovely.. So I find it very difficult to keep it looking clean, shiny and healthy, hence why I am automatically drawn to brands which I have tried and tested and know work. However a couple of weeks ago my shampoo of choice which I had been using for about 2 months (L'Oreal EverStrong) had ran out and on my dash to boots it was no where to be found. My mother picked up the Herbal Essences combo which names slips my mind at this moment in time, but it is in a pink bottle. I gave this a go as it looked okay and I had no other options but it completely ruined the state of my hair, after washing I found that my hai

A little bit of Luxury

 I feel that facial oils get a bit of a bad rep for causing breakouts by being too heavy and greasy on the skin especially for people get oily patches i.e. me, surely if you use an oil on your face it will cause your skin to become uncontrollably greasy and unpleasant, right? I put my hands up and admit that I myself always steered away from applying anything too oily onto my face for fear of my skin reacting badly And God knows what happening. However after receiving this Bobbi Brown Extra face oil I cautiously braved it and I must say, I am converted. Super lightweight and non greasy and is absorbed into the skin within seconds. It doesn't fill my pores and I have experienced no nasty skin occurrences whilst using this for the last couple of weeks every night. It softens the skin and injects a burst of moisture whilst plumping (sounds a bit weird doesn't it, promise it's a good thing) out the face giving you a really healthy, natural glow. The price is the only dow

Beauty On A Budget- Naked 2 Alternative

Image
         Like the look of Urban Decay's Naked 2 palette but not loving the price tag? Check out the MUA undressed palette from superdrug for an astonishing £4 compared the Naked 2 which is £37. Both come with 12 different really wearable bronzy shades. The pigmentation and colour pay off is obviously going to be quite a lot better in the naked palette but for the price you pay the MUA palette is a wonderful dupe and can create some equally as great smoky eye looks. If you wanna know more about the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette click  here  for my post on the full review and swatches of each shade. Okay guys, so I've decided to allocate particular days each week for posting new content, for the time being I will post 2 days a week, one day during the working week, most likely on a Wednesday or Thursday and then on a Sunday, I feel like this will give me a proper blogging routine and so you guys know when to come back and check out new content (if you would like t
