Barry M Gelly Nail Paint



OK. This is has probably been on trend and gone out of fashion already I dunno, I was never much of a trend follower. But I had a look in the Superdrug near me in the BarryM section and discovered this nude colour. I thought it would be a great colour you can wear with anything, just like nude shoes for example. I have seen the Gelly nail paints before but wasn't that interested because there weren't any shades that I didn't already have. UNTIL NOW :O The minty greeny colour (called Greenberry) is HOT, probably my favourite colour at the moment.
This is what the nude colour (called Lychee) looks like when applied as you can see it's not exactly 'Hi-shine as the bottle claims, but maybe the green will be a bit more shiny, I confess I haven't tried it out yet though...
In my personal opinion I'm not really fussed that it isn't really shiny because I kinda like the shine of the normal nail paints anyway, I just got them because of the pretty colours :]

My 'Everyday' Makeup ;)


Hey peeps!
Sooooo this is my natural everyday make up, it's pretty simple and I rarely use more than five products on my face. Oh yeah the reason there is a furry pal in the photograph..I laid down on my bed to take a photo and my little girly jumped up for a cuddle. It's only right she gets to be in the photo.. :)
BASICALLY I would much rather spend more time in bed if I have an early start, than get up with plenty of time to do make up. Bit lazy I know, especially for someone who actually likes make up...anyway. :|
These are the products I always use if I am going to be going to work or what I wore when I went to school:
I'm going to put in my normal moisturiser too which is Simple Oil Balancing.
Nivea Visage tinted moisturiser. THE BEST tinted moisturiser I have used so far, although to be fair I have only used about three different ones...If it ain't broke don't fix it! In other words I like this one so why go looking for another? It has the coverage that I want and if I do have spots I use my foundation as a concealer which is next.
Rimmel Match Perfection foundation. I will use this on any blemishes I may have unless I am in a rush in that case I just think. ''It's a spot, who gives a sheet.''
Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation. On a crazy whim I purchased this expensive foundation when I was having a skin crisis. I just use this for concealing under my eyes though. For me it is tooooo much to wear all over my face because it makes me look cakey. Most things make me look cakey, probably because my skin may be combination and I just use products for oily skin. Genius.
Maybelline Le Colossal Volum' Express mascara. Bit of a mouthful that. First of all I use an eyelash curler, I don't know what brand that is but aren't they all the same, then apply one coat of this thoroughly. Two coats and I get spider lashes. No thanks!
Last but NOT least powder. Rimmel pressed powder which cracked and is now loose powder sitting in a Dream Matte Moose container. If I don't use this I get SO shiny, this is a product I can't afford to forget to use.
BTW you can also watch a video of this, however the routine is a little different because I added a few things to spruce it up!
