When The Sun Don't Shine

Hey! So I've been waiting very patiently for 3 days for the sun to shine so I could get some pictures which show of the duochrome yumminess of Natural Collections Lunar Haze, but the English weather must hate me because it's been grey and raining everyday! I've had to settle with an overcast day though as I wanted to redo my nails.

In the (lack of) sun this polish has the really cool light blue glow to it. 

In the shade.

Because this polish is SO SHEER, and I hate VNL, I did a coat white polish before the Lunar Haze. But as this polish was under £2 I can't really complain. 

Shatter It Up!

Hey! You know when you think your nails are dry but they actually aren't, so you carry on with other things like normal, and then you look down at your nails and they're all a bit scuffed? Well this happened to me the other day when I was getting ready for a night out and I only noticed my nails were ruined minutes before I had to get the train. It was so annoying and stressful! So I quickly put some white shatter on top, then some glitter and ran for the train like a mad man! Luckily I made it just in time and did a top coat on the train, but from now on I'm defiantly going to leave more time before going out for my nails to dry :P

The nail polishes I used where: Natural Collection Lunar Haze, which is a GORGEOUS purple duochrome but it's very sheer so I did a layer of Barry M Boots Limited Edition first (Lunar Haze will get it's own special post sooner or later, because it's such a stunner). Then on top is Barry M White Shatter and a unnamed Bourjois glitter polish.

Make Up Haul

So I think I might have brought a little to much this week, I'm blaming exam stress though and the fact maths is REALLY depressing. So here's what I brought:

I ran out of my matte top coat, so I brought another one. I've wanted a yellow since my last one dried all up and went horrible and I've finally got around to buying a new one, it's called Sunshine, how cute! My friends ALWAYS moan that I don't have any green nail polish as I hate green (I swear they're only friends with me so I'll paint their nails) so I finally caved and brought this cheapo one with a great name... it's called NINJA. Best. Name. Ever. I've also wanted a coral for a while so got the 2true shade 3 (creative name, I know) although I've never tried any 2true polishes before, so don't know how well it applies and I find the bottle weird looking.

Next I brought some new blushes, I'm kind of obsessed with blush atm, and a brush (just a superdrug home brand one) as the brush I was using had seen better days. The Natural Collection is called Pink Cloud, Collection 2000 is called Breathless (cheesy name or what!) and the NYC is Pink Cheek Glow. I've been after some more day time blushes, as the ones I have now are more night out and these are perfect for the day.

Now on to lips. The lip gloss is Natural Collection Cherry Drop, you can't see in the picture but it's glittery. The lipstick in the blue is 17 Belle and it's just a standard day lipstick, nothing really that special about it. Now the lipstick in the purple, I am in LOVE! It's Rimmel Lily Extase (what the hell does extase mean?!) and it looks amazing!! It's replaced my Rimmel Red Fever as my new fav lipstick.

  It even matches my nails!

I told you I brought a lot, haha! Next up is Max Factor Smoky Eye Effect Eyeshadow in Bronze Haze. So I never normally wear eyeshadow as without my glasses on I'm pretty much blind, it's a struggle just to put on mascara! Without my glasses my eyes just look like grey blurs and I can't even see the mascara stick! How I manage to not get it all over my face is a mircile. Anyway, I really love the smoky eye effect, but because of the blindness I could never do it... until now! I can totes do the smoky eye with this, even though I can't see what I'm doing! Yes!

Ok, that's it for now, I actually brought quite a bit more but I'm to lazy to post the rest. Sorry for another long post! I hope you all are enjoying today and that the whole rapture/impending doom isn't putting a dampener on things. :p

Major Shopping Spree!

I'm just going to apologise in advance, there is a lot of writing and pictures in this post! I've had very little human contact in the past week (thanks to revision) so I have a major case of verbal diarrhoea! Haha, oh dear!

You have no idea how good this cookie was.

As I've been revising so hard for my exams (and by revising I mean putting colourful post-it notes on my work and highlighting things for fun) I thought some nail polish shopping was in order! Because I deserve a treat, right? Maths has to be the most draining subject EVER! If you don't have a death wish, don't do a maths degree, that's all I'm saying. Anyway, so I splurged and brought 5 nail polishes (and cookies)!

I tried to take a pic of these in sunlight, but it's raining... boo! 

Here's them in a different light. 

As you can tell by the label they're Accessorize nail polishes, the one to the left is called Pink Spice and it's pink with gold and orange tones in the sun. The one to the right is called Bronze and it looked better in the shop, it looks kinda gross now, hopefully it'll look better on my nails.

I LOVE this one, I've been after a purple this shade forever, but I haven't been that successful in my search. It's Gosh Wild Lilac.

                               

A nail polish haul just isn't complete without the Barry M. Words cannot describe my love for Barry M. Anyway, the one on the left is called Peach Melba and it just reminds me of holidays to Spain, if I was going on holiday this year this is deffo the polish I would wear. The one on the right is called Strawberry Ice Cream. 

All of them together!

I also brought Max Factor Lipfinity Lasting Lip Tint. Not really sure why, just thought it looked cool and I needed something else to buy as it was 3 for 2 in Boots. LOVE IT. 

I wasn't to sure what to expect with this, but I tried it out and it smells nice and it's super fun to apply, it's like colouring in your lips with a sharpie! I brought in it shade 03, whatever that means... 

But wait, there's more still...

I brought some black shoes today also (my bank account is crying after today) because I don't really like the plain black shoes I have now and these are SO MUCH CUTER! 

They're from Dorothy Perkins if anyone was wondering... 

I also brought a pink stapler (won't show you a pic of this though, unless you want me to, haha) and some pressed power from Collection 2000 in Ivory, because my Natural Collection one makes me look ORANGE, not that that's a challenge though as I'm as pale as can be, which is a shame as I love the Natural Collection one. Hopefully the Collection 2000 is just as good and doesn't make me look orange...

This is the last pic, I swear!

If anyone has read all of this incredible long, boring post I am truly sorry for writing so much and I love you for reading it all.
