NOTD| Barry M Gelly High Shine polishes

Recently I have been getting into painting my nails colours other than red or pink...Out of my comfort zone with blues and greens...I am so totally hardcore!! Right??

I picked up these beautiful shades today and applied them immediately...

Thumb: Berry Ice Cream 

Fingers: Blueberry High Shine 

Ring finger: Greenberry High Shine

The formula of the Gelly High shine is amazing. Its glossy and goes on smoothly. Very pigmented and dries super fast. I love these polishes. 

The regular formula isn't quite as nice but still good for a budget brand. Its slightly sheerer and takes a little bit longer to dry, it also isn't quite as glossy and luxe looking. 

I want more of these gorgeous Gelly high shine beauties!!

Can you recommend a shade? 

Review | Bourjois Ultra Black VolumizerMascara.

My all time favourite mascara is YSL Shocking Faux Clis mascara, it gives the effect of fake lashes but its over £23 and dries out pretty fast, Sometimes i cannot justify the price so I'm always looking for alternatives. Any mascara i try i compare to this queen of all mascaras. Some have come close but nothing has outshone until now...
(Warning Photo Heavy!)

YSL VS Bourjois.


The Volumizer has a two step system. Step one removes a lot of mascara from the wand meaning you can get a thin coating of mascara on lashes for a natural look. Step two leaves a lot of mascara on the wand and applies a lot of mascara to the lash. This means you can get heavy flash looking lashes without them sticking together and making you look like you have three single lashes! 

One coat of Step one Bourjois VS Bare Lashes. 

One Coat of Each step one and two on top and bottom lashes VS bare Lashes. 

Bourjois Two coats VS One coat of YSL.

Bourjois Volumizer VS YSL Faux Clis. 

The brush off.
Both quite similar, thick and fairly clumpy natural bristles. 

I have tried the Bourjois mascara before and cannot believe i forgot how good this stuff is! If you like a heavy thick coating of mascara you will love this stuff! you can make it more natural and apply less. I love both these mascaras and will use the YSL forever, but when you're a bit cash strapped the bourjois one comes in very handy! Its a tough choice every morning choosing between these two beauts!

Have you tried these mascaras? Whats your holy grail for your lashes?

FOTD| Casual Base

Now spring is almost here my foundation routine always changes, instead of heavy coverage to hide those rosy red cheeks and pale skin, I want natural coverage and a light layer over my sun-kissed skin.

I dabbled with BB creams and tinted moisturiser but find i always need a powder over the top and bare Minerals is fab for this.

So this Photo is Revlon BB cream quick review...I'm not a fan. It has hardly any coverage, I know this is the case with BB creams but this is practically none at all. Without a powder foundation over the top you need to have perfect skin to pull this off, and if you have perfect skin why wear this? well because this has an SPF of 30!! Which is amazing. So i think i will be using this more as a sun screen than for coverage. This is so sheer and blend-able you could easily wear a liquid foundation or a powder foundation as i have. I was slightly disappointed with the coverage so the saving factor of SPF has stopped this being a hated product!
If your after a sun screen get this if your after a BB cream with a slight coverage don't get this!

Base:
Bare Minerals Prime Time
Revlon BB cream (light)
Bare Mineral ready foundation (R230)

Bare Faced! Sorry!!

After! (most of the coverage is from Bare Minerals)

Have you tried any BB creams? Would you buy this purely for the SPF?
