NO7 STAY PERFECT NAIL COLOUR (NAIL POLISH BAUBLE)- £6- BOOTS

Well this post is definitely a little bit late considering valentines day was actually on Saturday, but I was so busy over the weekend I just didn't have time to write this post! I actually bought this nail polish bauble in the sale last month, when Boots had 70% off all their Christmas gift sets! I think I only paid £1.80 ish for this which was a total bargain, but I've had a look and you can still get hold of this colour which is '4-DAMSON DREAM' by Boots no7 for £6.

While getting myself ready for my boyfriend coming on Friday evening, I spotted this polish in my drawer and realised how pretty it was and perfect for valentines day, so I instantly had to try it out. One thing I would say about this is that the colour actually changes depending on lighting etc, so it can go from looking quite pinky purple to a deep red, but I think the colour is meant to be magenta? I could be wrong! But this colour is absolutely my fave, I can tell I won't be changing it any time soon!

The nail polish also glides on perfectly, is quite resistant to chipping and has a lovely metallic effect to it which I absolutely love. I had never tried any of the no7 stay perfect polishes as I must admit I never really pay more than £4 for a nail polish, but I do think the polish definitely lives up to its title, the coverage is fantastic and it has stayed perfect for days now. 

I would love to know if you have tried any of the stay perfect range, what do you think of this one? Leave me a comment below! :) 

Nail Polish Review: No7 Me Me Me

 

I'm wearing: No7 Stay Perfect Nail Colour (Me Me Me), £6.00, Boots.

 

I just love reviewing beauty products, and in particular I love playing around with nail varnishes. I am definitely not one of those bloggers who is crazy good at designing different nail art for their nails every day of the week, in fact, I tend to wear the same colour for weeks on end before being bothered to change it! I actually got this one when I came across the buy one get one half price offer on No7 in Boots this week, I just loved the bold pink shade!

 

I must admit though that I was mortified to see the price of No7 products, I don't know about you but I just expected Boots own brand to be a little less pricey! This nail polish cost £6 which is affordable but their lipglosses cost around £9! Maybe I am just a cheapskate...

 

So, not only does this colour live up to its name 'Me Me Me' by standing out really well with just one coat, it also stays on really well with no chips so far! I also think that the bottle size is larger than the usual nail polish, I don't know maybe its just me. But anyway, I seriously recommend buying one of these in whatever shade, although being massively girly I had to have pink! If you would like to have a look at the other shades in their 'stay perfect' collection, you can find them on the Boots website HERE.

Mascara Review| No7 Lash Impact

Okay I'm not going to lie, the first thing which attracted me to this mascara was the bottle, the red glitter packaging just looks so cute! This mascara is new to the shelves at the moment so I thought I would be a good beauty blogger and buy it, try it and blog about it! If i'm honest I usually tend to go for mascaras with a bigger volumising brush than this one, as thinner brushes tend to be better for lengthening, whereas I would rather add volume to my already long ish lashes. However, I must admit this mascara brush worked fantastically and it certainly lived up to its name "lash impact", so if your like me and got a little put off at first, try it! I found that this brush worked so well for separating lashes and giving the impression of longer eye lashes, and once left to dry for 2 minutes or so, applying a little more adds volume, et voila! Gorgeous lashes. Have you tried this mascara? What do you think? :)
