Autumn nails

It's that time of year again ladies...time for nails to get painted in autumnal shades. I loveeeee this season, it's still sunny yet there's a slight chill in the air and it feels like the perfect excuse to wrap up warm when going out and being cosy in a blanket at home. I have to say X factor starting and take me out means major pamper sessions for me now on a Saturday night.
Ok so a picture of a few of my 'go to' colours this year.



My main thing is to be careful to go autumnal and not Christmassy! I like to keep those reds and glitter at bay till December. Here I've got 2 very dark plum almost black colours one by OPI and the other an Avon shade. Also the Barry M shade in 'Dusky Mauve' which is the dupe for Chanel 'Paradoxal'. Lastly a pinky nudey Nails Inc varnish.
What are your favourite autumn shades?

Can a girl ever own enough palettes?

Another weekend another palette! I'm loving them at the moment...I feel like you get more product for your money. Biba is a brand I've heard of but never tried so thought it was about time. This was a little bargain too...which swayed me if course. £34 reduced to £17.
Inside




6 shadows, a blusher and highlighter.
At first glance I love the shades all very wearable and smooth to swatch. Ill be keeping this in my handbag as its super handy for mid day touch ups or day to night transformations:)
Reviews to follow.

Weekend Beauty Buys

This weekend has been hectic and there was absolutely no intention to do any cosmetic shopping! My sister fancied a trip to Space N.K and well I just couldn't resist a few purchases.




Nars American Dream Palette







Laura Mercier baked eyeshadow
Black Karat




Ill be reviewing these products in full soon ladies.

Lipstick love!

For any beauty junkie finishing a lipstick is a huge achievement! How about getting through the second of the same colour?!...it must be true love!
I'm raving about this again and it's Dior Addict 'Singuleire'




Buy it...just do it. Totally worth!

New Shampoo Alert!

I'm of the belief that shampoo needs changing often so your hair doesn't build up a resistance to it. I think my hairdresser told me this a good ten years ago and it's something that has stuck with me ever since.
So off I went in search of something to give me a big voluminous shiny bonce! Charles Worthington Full Volume was recommended to me by a good friend...i then found it in Sainsburys on offer so it was meant to be!
I've been using it for 2 weeks and I love it!!! My hair feels thicker yet softer and still manageable. Most importantly it gives me that super clean feeling I love. Ladies get yur hands on this its fab!

Getting crafty

Ok guys remember I blogged a week ago about my new make up storage. Ikea drawers spray painted matte white.


I felt the need to take it further as the inside of the drawers were looking pretty dull.


So off I went to paperchase, got some good quality gift wrap and lined them.





To stick I used this spray glue. I asked in a craft shop as I didn't want any to soak through and ruin the paper.


How it looks. My lipstick drawer.


Lipliners and glosses.


A few random eyeshadows that I use regularly.


Basically my essentials are all in this drawer making it super simple to get ready in the morning. I also love the lined drawers as I think they look super pretty x

Eid beauty haul!

A late Eid Haul. Basically for Eid it is traditional to give money rather than presents so off I went with my wonga in search of a beauty counter.


Aha! Smashbox...now Debenhams recently had Smashbox then it dissapeared:( I went into Boots and they told me that Estée Lauder had bought Smashbox and signed exclusively with Boots. Hurrah!!!
I bought my favourite primer again as a back up, tried a lipstick and Benefit concealer.

Posy Pink. I love the packaging it's very sleek...it should be too this lippie was £15.50.



Swatched



I've heard lots about this concealer from SamRam (a blog I love). I'll be trying it out as my new under eye concealer.



Swatched



Loved the description



One thing about Benefit is their cutsey girly packaging:)



I'll review everything soon ladies x
