I Won A Giveaway!

Hullo Again Ladies!

About four - six weeks ago I won The Shades Of You's Spring Giveaway. She has an amazing Blog and Youtube channel so I highly suggest you check them out :-) 

I was so excited because the giveaway included two products that I've always wanted. 

What I won :

OCC Lip Tar in Pageant.

Hot Mama Blusher From The Balm

Color Club Magnetic Force Nail Polish in "Im The Steel Of The Night" 

&

Lumiere Silk Blush in Mimosa 

 From Left To Right - Mimosa, Hot Mama and Pageant. 

Here are some of the swatches but I'll probably be doing separate reviews on them once I have used them for some time. 

I still can't believe I own a lip tar. I've heard so many great things about them and they always looks so beautiful. I'm also ecstatic about the Hot Mama blush. I've wanted it forever now after hearing it's a cheaper dupe for Nars Orgasm. It's cheaper but not that inexpensive so I've always held back from purchasing it. It was well worth the wait. 

So that's all the lovely goodies I won recently. 

Just want to thank The Shades Of You again for this lovely giveaway!

Hope you have all had a great Sunday :-) Have you tried any of these products?

Summer Nail Polish Tag! :-)

Hullo Beautiful Ladies! 

So every year around this time I see a lot of Summer Nail Polish Tag's....Which I love because I'm rather nosy and love to see what everyone's wearing! :-P

So I have decided to do one of my own, even though I wasn't tagged hehehe :-) 

I started with Ten but then added another one that I really couldn't leave out! 

Some of them I haven't got swatches of yet but They're on my list of things to do so don't worry! 

From Left - Right "China Glaze For Audrey, Barry M Shocking Pink, Barry M Coral, Barry M Block Orange, Barry M Cyan Blue, Barry M Indigo, Color Club Sugar Plum Fairy, Nails Inc Bennet Street, OPI Cajun Shrimp, OPI Strawberry Margurita"

This is my only China Glaze polish and I'm so glad I picked it, it's a tribute to the gorgeous Audrey Hepburn and is based on that lovely Tiffany Blue colour :-) 

Its a very elegant robin egg blue. 

Barry M Shocking pink is a beautiful colour to wear on days you want to be like a barbie doll, to me its the polish you dreamed of wearing when you were six years old hehe :-P

Barry M's Coral is a very flattering colour with just a hint more orange too it than most of my other coral nail polishes, which makes it very unique in my eyes! 

Barry M Block Orange, one of my most recent Barry M buys and boy do I love it!

 It's a juicy, vibrant orange that is opaque in just three quick coats.

 It's a polish that I have been wearing a lot in the last two weeks whilst the sun has been out! 

Barry M Cyan Blue, this is the only picture I have with it on my nails and was taken with a flash but it really is very vibrant in natural light, probably my favourite blue from the Barry M line, It's very opaque in just two coats and when I wear it I frequently get asked where I got it and what's it called. 

Barry M Indigo is one that I would wear on a night out in the summer or when I want something classy and dark. It's a beautiful polish and I don't think its talked about enough! I love it! 

Color Club Sugar Plum Fairy is a holigraphic polish and is very opaque, I wore this on a sunny day once and couldn't stop looking at my nails! 

Nails Inc Bennet Street is my favourite red to wear in the summer, it's very glossy and flattering. 

OPI's Cajun Shrimp is a lovely coral that I love to wear on my toes! Great in the summer with some lovely sandles! 

OPI's Strawberry Margurits is a beautiful pink that I love on both my hands and toes It's a great universal pink that would look flattering on anybody! 

One that I have purchased recently and isn't in the group photos is Nails Inc Baker Street. 

I'm really loving this colour right now! It's such a pretty blue :-) 

Okay so that was my top summer Nail Polishes and although I'm the type of person that wears all sorts of polish no matter what season it is, I do believe that we gravitate to certain colours at certain times and these are just some I have been in love with lately! 

I tag anyone and everyone! If you want to do it then go ahead, I had a great time! 

Whats your favourite summer nail colour? 

Thanks, Linzi xx

NOTD - Barry M and Color Club

Hey ladies!

Today I'm doing a NOTD using some of the new nail polishes I have bought over the last week, Barry M Black and Color Clubs Covered in Diamonds. I picked up the Color Club glitter set in Tk Maxx and now I wish I had picked up the cream set also! They are very pigmented colours that dry very fast :-)

Another thing I love about Color Club nail polish is that you get a great amount of product! 

You can really see how gorgeous the blues and greens look when applied over a darker base colour. 

In natural light.

Hope this helps to show you how beautiful Covered in Diamonds is.

I'm thinking of wearing this to my dads Birthday party tomorrow :-) 

Hope you like it!

Thanks, Linzi xx

Shopping Haul :-)

Hey Ladies!

Sorry about the pictures but my parents are away and I said they could take my camera so I have had to use my phone for this post! I went shopping in Cardiff today which is really unusual for me and I only do it about twice a year so I was excited to see what was new in the beauty section of TK Maxx since I was there last Christmas.

The only brand in my whole Haul that I have tried before is Bomb Cosmetics so I'm really looking forward to seeing what these brands are like.

I managed to spend all my money in there and got a few great sets :-) 

I had this Stila set for £7.99 and it included a sharpener, lip glaze, a moisturising lip tint and lip glaze stick. I used to watch a lot of Pinkiecharm's videos on Youtube and she loves the Stila Lip Glaze so I'm really excited to try it out :-) 

The top swatch in the Lip Glaze Stick in Brown Sugar, The middle swatch is the Moisturising Lip Tint in Wine and the bottom swatch is the Lip Glaze in Spiced Ginger.

These are the Essie nail polishes I managed to pick up but the names on the bottom seem to be wrong sadly. 

The name on the bottom of the pink is Tangerine, and the other two say Capri, I searched for Tangerine and like I suspected they are totally opposite colours. Any help with finding out their true names from you Essie lovers out there would be amazing :-)

This set was £9.99

I also found the Color Club Set in Glitter Vixen which was £7.99 it has some amazing colours, in which I can't wait to try out! 

I also bought another Bomb Cosmetics soap from a local shop :-)

There was also a lovely set there from Leighton Denny which was really pretty but I had run out of money and really wanted the Essie set  :-)

So there is my new haul, I really need to calm down with the nail polish :-)

Thanks, Linzi xx
