So I had college this evening, only from 6-9pm and we did our first ever assessment for acrylic nails... here's a picture of my friend's nails that I did tonight...

We're doing gel nails when we go back to college after christmas, really looking forward to it! What do you think of the nails I did? ;)

The Only Way Is Essex Dazzle Perfume Gift Set

I've been debating whether to get the TOWIE perfume for a while, wondering whether it would smell nice so when I saw this gift set in Tesco for just £7.50 I had to get it! The perfume which is named 'Dazzle' is described as an intricate blend of white florals, vanilla and amber, with top notes of neroli, tangerine, apple and grapefruit with a floral heart of jasmine, violet, peony and presented in a diamond shaped gold bottle. The scent in my opinion is something I would use for work as it's cheap and saves using my expensive perfumes. It's fruity and sweet with a hint of vanilla, not everyone's taste and most definitely a younger person's perfume! I'm not a big fan of the bottle, I like the shape, the top and the little gold bow, but the gold colour makes it look cheaply made and tacky! The bottle would of been much more stylish if it was clear, there isn't even anything on the bottle itself to state that it is a TOWIE perfume, if you seen the bottle without it's box it could of been made by anyone! The perfume also comes with a body lotion which smells the same as the perfume, I think I would use this as hand cream rather than a body lotion though! I like the scent and I think it's a good buy for £7.50 and would make a good gift for christmas, but I wouldn't buy it all full price as much as I love The Only Way Is Essex! Has anyone used this perfume before? What do you think?

Another day, Another Shopping Trip..

I found myself yet again in Boots and Superdrug today. Starting out in Boots, which was just a quick visit as I knew exactly what I wanted, i've heard alot about the new Wild Metallic eyeshadow creams from the 17 range, there's six different colours but I only picked up the only 3 colours they had in stock which were Wild Bronze, Wild Nude & Wild Silver. All three are lovely colours, very shimmery with high pigmentation which is purrfect if you're on a wild night out and want to make a statement, ignore the rubbish pun. They're great for Christmas and i'm in LOVE with the leopard print on the packaging, I will definitely be buying more when I can get the other colours..

Clockwise: Wild Nude, Wild Bronze, Wild Silver

Top To Bottom: Wild Nude, Wild Silver, Wild Bronze.

I then called into Superdrug to get some kind of face mask and came across Superdrug's Mud Therapy Deep Cleansing Mud Mask, i've never used this one before, it has a grey/brown colour to it, it has a thick consistency and smells lovely. It has natural mineral benefits of dead sea mud to detoxify the skin, so i'm looking forward to using it to see if it makes a difference to my skin! I also brought the new Creme Brulee Vaseline, i'm a big fan of the vaseline range and i'm sure this is great addition to it, it smells absolutely lush aswell and to top it off, using my Beauty card meant I didn't have to pay a penny as I had enough points to redeem, result!!!

Coca Cola Lips..

So I was just looking on the Boots website and came across these rather fancy Coca Cola lip glosses and lip balms...

Prices range at £6-7 from boots and can be found here.

I've never seen these when i've been out and about but i'll definitely be having a look around for these now i've seen them online. I love the 40's retro look of the packaging and what makes it more exciting is that each lip gloss/balm has it's own flavour!!!

Also  Model's Own have released their own range of Diet Coke Christmas Kisses lip glosses in four different shades. Boots are currently giving each customer one lipgloss free when you buy two 500ml coca cola bottles instore, click here for more information. Pictures below..

Top: Pure Plum, Glossy Pink.

Bottom: Lacquer Red, Golden Pink. 

I'm excited to try both ranges! Has anyone tried any of these i've mentioned?

Superdrug's mix and match.

So today I found myself shopping yet again, mainly for any last minute presents so I decided Superdrug would have been a cheaper option as they have their 3 for 2 mix and match items. I can't say I was entirely impressed with their selection to give as gifts but I did stumble across a few things for myself (surprise, surprise). I'd been looking online at the The Only Way Is Essex range of cosmetics for quite some time so I had a quick look and picked up the Totally Kissable High Shine Crystal Lip Glosses, they did look quite frighteningly bright in the packaging and wasn't sure whether I would like them but I got them anyway and once I got home and tried them on they were fine, they actually came out a lot lighter and shimmery than I thought which I am pleased with! The next item I picked up instantly is a gift pack of Simple skincare products, nothing exciting but for a cleanser, toner and moisturiser for the price of £7.99 I thought it was a bargain! Last but not least, I picked up a Charlie Pink perfume gift pack, I need some perfume to wear at work and hate using my expensive perfumes for work, so Charlie was a cheap option and again being £6.99 it was a good price for body lotion, perfume and body spray and it smells nice, so who am I to complain!? To make it even better, all the items being part of the 3 for 2 mix and match range meant I got the lipglosses technically for free, originally being £5.99 and being the cheapest item out of the three, so in total I paid £14.98, brilliant! The only thing I did fail on today was presents for other people... ooops!!!!!! Here's some pictures...

Treacle Moon Bath & Shower Gels..

These lovely bath/shower gels were on offer for only £2.99 each in Tesco so I couldn't resist buying when I seen them! I've been using these for a while now and since they are on offer I needed to get them. They all smell delicious, but my three favourites are the ones I bought: Vanilla Moment, Lovely Mint Story & Rasberry Kiss, their brightly coloured gel and packaging never fails to meet my eye and there are a few more 'flavours' to choose from but as it's winter I felt that vanilla and mint smellies were the right way to go and they last for ages. My remind me alot of the philosophy shower gel but for a cheaper price, at £2.99 you really can't go wrong! You can check Treacle Moon's website out here for more info on other products..
