Primark False Nail Review

Hello!

I cannot believe I am only just writing this review. It feels like I should of been writing this a lifetime ago.  To me the Primark beauty section is totally underrated, can you tell I'm excited to talk about these? 

First of all I have tiny hands so therefore I have tiny itty bitty nails. I can very rarely find false nails that go small enough for me. The Primark ones do however go small enough and have larger ones too (which I normally give to my mum). I don't rate the glue highly but I just buy the Elegant Touch Nail Glue which is about £2.59, it dries super quick, sticks well and a little goes a long way so it lasts forever. These nails can last anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks on me.

They retail at £1 - £1.50 and if I ever see any I like I always stock up. They are my go to nails and if you are into more high end nails I would definitely urge you to check them out!

I also bite my nails and the skin around them, too much info? When I start to realise it's getting bad I always stick these on and it totally stops me from doing it.

Thanks for reading,

Beauty On A Budget #1

Hi,

Anyway if you've ever been on the blogging world you would have heard of the Bourjois Magic Nail Polish Remover (£4.99). To set the line straight its a sponge in a bottle soaked in nail polish remover, which has a 'nourishing sweet almond oil' and a 'red fruit and vanilla fragrance'. This is great. I was very adamant to spend five pounds on a nail polish remover but I love it. Its so handy and makes your fingers feel and smell great after! 

However a few months ago I was in Primark and I was desperate to check out their new P.S. Love line. When I was at the beauty section I noticed this 'P.S. Love Your Nails Nail Polish Twist Pot'. This is the same thing, minus the smell and oil. But for one or maybe two pounds this does just the trick, It still take your polish off super quick and is the same size so great for travelling. It is definitely a dupe and a great one at half the price!

Valentines Day Makeup Look 2015 - Idea No.2

Hi!

Today I'm going to talk you through a look I have created inspired by valentines day. Most of my products are high street so this is really affordable and you can always swap colours/brands for alternative ones. I did my base normally and my eyebrows, my eyebrows are all kinds of messy which I am very sorry about! 

I started on my eyes using the Maybelline Color 24hour tattoo in Pink Gold. I then added my Kiko pigment loose shadow (shade 10) and pressed that all over my eyelid. I then used two Natural Collection Solo Eyeshadows (pictured below) the lighter shade I used in my crease and then added the darker shade for depth and natural contour. Unfortunately when I depotted these I didn't write the colours down anywhere, but these eyeshadows are very pigmented and only £1.99 each.

I used the colour 'nooner' from the Naked 3 palette on the outer V of my eyelid and underneath my waterline then blended it out to create further depth. I wanted to use pink and purple as my base colours as these are the colours I think of around Valentines day, plus I have green eyes so it helps to bring the colour out. I then grabbed this PS. I Love 'Night' palette (which is from Primark) and used the purple to create the final touch. I think this just adds another level of colour and really brings the whole look together. 

I then used the Collection Fast Stroke Eyeliner in black to create a small and thin cat eye. I then applied Eylure Naturalites False Eyelashes and voila!

I then created this lip colour using a Topshop Lip Paint in Reminisce and a Rimmel London Lipstick on 077 Asia. I really like this lip look as it isn't too bright but definitely brings attention to your lips.

I have recently had my hair cut short and I find it really hard to style, but just for ideas I added this cute bandanna. 

I hope you enjoyed this look and thank you for reading,
