☺ new barry m products ☺

Now I have quite the soft spot for sparkly girly things so I recently bought the Barry M Glitter Nail Paint in Amethyst and I love it! Its a multi glitter suspended in a clear polish, which looks great over a black base, which is how i've been wearing it.


For only £2.99, I think it's a really good quality polish, I'm a big fan of Barry M products! The glitter nail paint range has some lovely shades so I will definitely be buying some more of the glitter products!

I'd also like to review the Barry M Lipstick in shade 121. It's a matte bright red shade, which is nice enough but I did have some problems with this product. I quite like the packaging as it's simple but what I found was that the lipstick wouldn't give off a smooth enough effect on the lips. I'm not sure if that makes sense but what  i mean is that it shows off all the lumps and horrible skin on your lips, so you have to have perfectly exfoliated lips to rock this lipstick! For £4.49 I wasn't expecting much, and I wasn't that disappointed - Also the shade doesn't really suit my skin tone so that's my fault!

☺ ear cuffs & VIP asos ☺

So i've recently become an Asos addict, especially as the sale is on at the moment, so when I realised that they were offering the VIP package for just £10 I felt inclined to get it! If you don't know what the VIP package is, it enables you to get free next day delivery for a whole year - seeing as next day delivery is usually just over £5, this offer is incredible but only on for a limited time so go go go get it!


On one of my Asos shopping sprees (maybe i should do a haul?) I decided to buy a set of 3 mismatch ear cuffs! Now i've wanted to get my cartilage pierced for a while now but the truth is, I have a terribly low pain thresh hold and i'm really scared it would hurt! So instead I opted for ear cuffs, because honestly they look exactly like cartilage rings! 
 As you can see in the photo to the left, there are three mismatch cuffs, all super cute and definitely worth the £6 I paid! In the photo of the model wearing these on the Asos website, she wears all 3 cuffs on the cartilage on the top of her ear. Now I have quite small ears so my cartilage looked a bit overloaded with all 3 on, so I have opted to wearing the thin bamboo design hoop and the solid cuff on the top of my ear cartilage and the 3 ringed cuff on the bottom cartilage of the other ear, and I feel this balances out the ears a bit more and looks a bit more stylish!

Thank you for reading and i'll see you next time! 

☺ katy perry lashes ☺

So i'm a total eyelash freak. I love a good pair of false lashes and i'm not afraid to wear them out day to day. The only problem that I have is trying to find a good quality pair of fake eyelashes that look natural enough for people not to look at me and think 'wow someone's a diva' (although i do like to think of myself as one). So when last shopping on Asos, I decided to see if they had anything good to offer, and well they did! 
I ordered the Oh, Honey! Lashes by Eylure with Katy Perry, and I was really pleasantly surprised!
As well as the cute packaging it has (see below), the lashes are of a lovely quality and the glue was good too! The lashes look quite natural but just give your own lashes a nice boost great for going out in the daytime! 

I was also really impressed with the price, I got mine for just £6 from Asos, which I think is incredibly reasonable for the quality of the lashes and I just love the packaging so much, I mean look at it! It's adorable! 

I would really recommend these lashes, they're good for both going out in the night and in the day! 

Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed! x
