No More New Make-Up?!

I'm on a spending ban.

I have so much make-up and nail polish that hasn't been touched, and I always buy more! I don't need it! I've stopped purchasing beauty boxes too, I've received so many samples from these boxes and I never use any of them, so I always give them away to my sister.

I have about 2 years worth of unopened mascara to be used, enough liquid foundation to cover my body twice, barely touched creamy and powder blushers, and too many lipsticks to choose from.

Nail Art #22 | Chinese New Year Nails!

Sun Lin Fai Lok! 

Happy New Year!

Hello everyone! It's Chinese New Year this weekend and I'm working my butt off in retail, so I won't get to visit China town and see all the celebrations. Which sucks, but at least I get to enjoy all the amazing foods my mom will cook! 

Red and yellow or gold are colours that are always seen together in the Chinese culture. Red is a symbol of happiness and good fortune, where as yellow or gold is used for luck and wealth. The colours compliment each other so well, and I just had to do some easy nail art to celebrate Chinese New Year.

I used Rimmel's Ruby Me and Model's Own Gold Digger for this nail art.

Will you be off to China town this weekend to see the celebrations?

Review | Soap & Glory's Archery Tint & Brow

Soap and Glory's Archery Brow Tint & Pencil is the perfect combination for natural, soft looking brows. It comes in two shades, Love is Blonde and Brownie Points. I got Brownie Points as it's the darkest shade. On one end there is a felt tip, used to fill in gaps and add fullness, while the other end there's a pencil, designed to shape the brow.

I love the felt tip side, it's so easy to use and doesn't look harsh on my brows. The tip is really fine, so when applied it blends in with my brow hairs while still adding fullness. Sometimes it feels like there's no product coming out from the felt tip, but I think this has been designed this way so you don't draw on Sharpie brows.

After using the tint, I use the pencil to shape and soften the lines from the tint around the beginning and edges of my brows. I have a little problem with the pencil. It seems to flake off bits when trying to apply it to my brows. The pencil is quite hard, but this isn't a bad thing. I think if it was softer, I'd end up drawing really harsh lines.

You can see in the top photo that my brows are a little sparse, and they're also a bit wonky. I used the tint to make my brows fuller, and then I used the pencil side to shape the brows and sort out the wonky brow line. Soap & Glory's Archery makes my brows look fuller, while still looking natural. I would definitely purchase this again.

Special Delivery #18 | #LipGlam

*I was sent this sample by #LipGlam, all thoughts and opinions are still 100% honest.

You can never ever own enough lip balms. Especially one that is multi purpose! #LipGlam is a natural long lasting, highly moisturising balm that can be used on dry patches, cuticles, rashes, you name it! It contains lanolin, a natural emollient extracted from sheep's wool, combined with natural botanicals, which absorbs really fast and leaves the areas moisturised. Not only that, it's also made in England.

#LipGlam is said to give 8 hours moisture. However, after applying this in the morning and getting on with my day, I did find I would have to reapply a few hours in. But if I applied before I went to sleep, my lips would still feel moisturised in the morning. I like how it's in a tube too, I hate applying lip balm with my fingers, it always feels really unhygienic.

The #LipGlam balm is not sticky, which means it's great for random dry patches on the body. I've used it on my cuticles after I've painted my nails, and they did feel moisturised. This multi purpose product would be really useful for nights out. (I once used my lip balm to soothe my dry hands, it did not work well, my hands felt so greasy!)

The only thing I dislike about this product is that it is really hard to get out of the tube. When I received the balm in the post, there was a sticker on it suggesting I put it in warm water for a minute to soften it. It's not ideal when I'm out and really need to use a lip balm, only I can't because I'd have to wait and warm it up in a pocket. For that reason I just end up reaching for another lip balm. I do imagine this would be different in the summer.

This is a really great lip balm, but I wish I didn't have to warm it up before using it. You can buy it here for £9.99.

Have you tried #LipGlam before? Do you have a favourite lip balm?
