Nail Polish Collection- Part 3 - GOSH, Leighton Denny and Essie

Hullo Lovely Ladies!!

So I got through Nails Inc and Barry M, now I'm onto the more smaller collections! 


GOSH

"From L-R - Snow, Base 1, Miss Sweety, Pearl, Rainbow, Vanilla Ice and Gasoline"

I'm loving the GOSH brand right now, I find all their products to have amazing quality!

Leighton Denny

"From L-R - Plush Pink, Supermodel and Starkers"

I'm going to be doing swatches of these soon! I promise :-) 

In fact I have Plush Pink on right now and it's gorgeous!

Essie

"From L-R- Kisses and Bises, Little Brown Dress and Cute as a Button"

If your in the UK and not wanting to pay the full price for Essie at the moment and just want to try them out then I suggest checking out the selection at your local TK Maxx!

Hope you all had a great weekend and your Monday Blues hasn't been too bad :-)

New Haul (Includes - Leighton Denny, Bourjois and more)


Hey Lovely Ladies!

So...I have been a naughty girl and gone shopping again :-( 

This lot is from over the weekend and the last two days though! So that makes me feel better hehe


So the first lovely products that I picked up on Saturday was this Leighton Denny Set.

I have been waiting to try Leighton Denny for ages and earlier in the month I picked up a couple of his nail polishes in a magazine but I'm forever hearing about his nail care products. 

So I found this gorgeous set in Tk Maxx and it includes:

Leighton Denny 4 side nail file/buff
Best Defense Nail and Hand Cream
Leighton Denny Essential Remover
12ml Slick Tips Nail and Cuticle Oil
12ml Nail Colour in Starkers
Leighton Denny Nail White Pencil

and the best part..........


It was on clearance for just £13!!!!

How amazing is that?
 I snatched it up as soon as I could hehe

I can't wait to do a review on this set, I have tried some of the things already and I'm loving them :-) 


On the same day I also picked up another Nails Inc Set. I think this is the last one I'll be picking up for awhile. 
I've got so many now and I don't want it to become excessive!

"For £14.99 I got Hanover Square,  Ganton Street, Motcomb Street and Orchard Street"

I might do a Nails Inc Collection post...what do you think? 


So today my Nan took me out shopping and I noticed that the local outlet had a new shop....POUNDLAND!

I have heard so much about this store, my Nan must have thought it peculiar when I nearly sprinted from the car to get there!

I raced towards their beauty section and found these babies. Only yesterday I left a comment on another bloggers post uset about the fact that I have never found these in the UK! What a coinsedence!

"From L-R Daddy's Girl, 24/7, Tapping Nails and See You Soon"

Sinful Colors seems to be a popular nail polish brand and I managed to buy some that I have heard quite a lot about including the gorgeous 24/7

As soon as I picked up Tapping Nails I knew that it would look amazing on the toes...and I was right. I put it on as soon as I came home, my Barry M Fuchsia was looking quite horrible *It's been on for nearly three weeks :-O* It looks so pretty! It's a very unusual colour that just sparkles in the sun light :-) 


So after Poundland I stopped in Tk Maxx *again* and found these Essie duo's, You got one nail colour and one treatment for £7.99, I choose the colour Cocktail Bliss and the Ridge Filling Base Coat. 

Thankfully the name on the nail polish Is right this time, I Googled it as soon as I came home :-) 


Also in Tk Maxx I found this Bourjois Little Round Pot Eye Shadow Collection. 

They had a brown set too but I though I would use these shades a lot more often.


"From L - R Gris Delicat, Blanc Diaphane and Argent"


They're £9.99 for the whole set, which is a bargain, as they are  from £6.49 - £6.99 each in Boot's. I thought at first that they may be mini versions but nope...they're all full size.

I can't wait to try some new looks with these!


So I have been looking for some new sandles to show off my painted toes nails for the last few weeks but haven't found any I'm in love with, until I saw these babies in the Miss Selfridges Sale. They were originally £22 but were down to just £10! I love them!

They'll look lovely with the Sinful Color polish I have on me toes!!

Also I stopped in Boots to pick up some Palmers Coca Butter Body Lotion after trying a sample but I actually walked out empty handed ten minutes later after being followed around by a security guard the whole time I was in there....I felt like shouting "I'm not a thief!" 

I hate it when that happens, I know that sadly a lot of people steal things but I'm the person who gets pissed off that I can't try the tester because someones taking it off the shelf!

 I only ever have trouble with the security guards at Boots though...I have heard about it from other people too.
 My 65 year old Nan was with me for cryng out loud, did they think she was the distraction while I stole the loot! Bahhahah 

Hope you have all had a great day!

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
