H&M Snow White Collection 2013

Following the super-cute Bambi collection of 2011 and the Minnie and Micky Mouse collection of 2011/2012, I recently discovered a Snow White collection in H&M! Well, I was very excited about this but had no money at the time, horror!

But, I have since got my hands on some of the products, yay :)

I picked up 2 of the 3 nail polishes from the collection, Snow White and Make Me Blush.

I did pick up the lip balms but put them both back, as I have hundreds of lip products and do not need more lip balms and yes, I mainly wanted them for the cuteness! So, I did good in resisting.

I really wanted one of the red apple shaped body butters, as I love the fact they are in an apple and the red one (Sugared Fig) smells SO good! But, all the red ones were missing the top part, so looked silly and I wasn't willing to part with £4.99 for a broken apple.

The other scent of body butter and lip balm is Vanilla and Apple. I wasn't too keen on this scent.

I Googled for swatches/reviews of the nail polishes prior to purchasing them and only found a couple of blog posts about them, mixed reviews, however, I am really impressed with them and for just £1.99, even more impressed!

Make Me Blush:

Make Me Blush is a lovely peachy-pink shade with a slight shimmer to it. It was difficult to pick up the shimmer on the camera, it's very subtle but pretty and does transfer to the nails. This is a great polish for Spring.

Snow White:

Snow White is a gorgeous shimmery silver-white with lots of glitz.

Application of both polishes was great. I did 3 coats of Make Me Blush and 2 of Snow White (possibly could have done with 1 more coat though).

For £1.99 each, they are an absolute bargain, so cute and really great value for money!

The third polish available is Silver Front, a silver glitter, hexagonal and round pieces. I almost got this but stopped myself for the simple fact that I recently realised I have over 200 nail polishes and A LOT of them glitters. However, I may end up buying this soon...

Yes, I bought these for the cuteness as I'm a sucker for Disney but I would really recommend these.

I saw on another blog that there is a perfume out too, my local H&M don't have that! I need to find it!! Hoping Liverpool will stock it this weekend.

Here's some snaps of the 3 nail polishes that were in stock, along with the lip balms and body butters.

One thing that does bug me about some H&M products is the unnecessary waste packaging! I work for a waste and recycling company, so this kind of thing does annoy me. In my opinion, the nail polishes and lip balms could easily be sold without this packaging, just with a simple price/barcode sticker on the bottom. These wrappers were removed from the product and then put in the bin, much to me not wanting to do this. Such a waste! Other than this little rant, I really love the Disney collections from H&M.

Have you got anything from the Snow White collection?

Are you also a sucker for cute things and all things Disney?

I'm so excited, tomorrow night I am going to Liverpool (as mentioned in my previous blogpost!). Night out tomorrow night, followed by shopping and sightseeing on Saturday.

So very excited :)

H&M Minnie and Mickey

Today has been a tad hectic!!

I woke up wanting to go for a drive somewhere, using the last 55 miles petrol that was in my car. I had considered Ironbridge, then heard they had the Christmas lights switch on, so I was sorted :)

Getting in my car, I then had one of those 'what am I doing, where am I actually going??' moments when I needed to get cash out (the last of my cash, which was for my phone bill, but as it has been messed up again they can wait!). So everywhere was chaos and I ended up going to a retail park here to get cash and see what lunch stuff Boots had left (not much!), I then decided to go to Telford on route to Ironbridge.

My plan was to get a Subway (which I did, yum!!) and have a quick browse in a couple of shops, first off H&M and WELL....

I immediately rang my friend Aimee and asked 'HAVE YOU BEEN TO H&M RECENTLY?!?', whilst stood in awe at the new Minnie & Micky Mouse range of products! Knowing that Aimee is as obsessed as me with cute things and that we both went mad over the recent Bambi range, I just had to tell her!

I stood there well over 10 minutes, describing every product to Aimee, haha.

I knew I shouldn't spend money and didn't NEED any of the products but they were so cute!

Anyway, Aimee liked my descriptions and asked if I could get her a few bits, then collect money later, so I did.

I bought 4 products for Aimee, which I took photos of to share with you all :)

Do you know, I kinda liked the whole experience...buying nice things for someone else, then getting the money back for them. It meant I got the joy of shopping and buying nice things, but without spending a penny (as I got it back!). I must do this more often, haha!

Right, enough blabbering...on to the products:

£2.99

£2.99

£1.99

£3.99

Cute lining, with 3 pockets :)

Also in the range are nail varnishes, small sets of lotions, nail care kit, shower gels and lots more.  There are 2 colours available; pink/black/white and red/black/white and the smelly products come in Vanilla or Red Berries :)

All products are the usual crazy cheap prices, ranging from £1.99 to just £3.99 (I think the toiletry bag is the most expensive product).

Will you be visiting H&M for any of this collection??

Sucker for cute things??

Hope you are all having a good weekend!

More Nail Love :)

Hey girlie's :)

Yesterday I posted about my H&M Hello Kitty nail varnish...which I LOVE! I kept it on today at work and got comments on how bright and pink it was :) Perfect!

However, me being me, I fancied a change this evening, and also wanted to try out the other nail varnish I got from H&M, which was also in my 'Box of Unused Products'.

On my lunch break today, I drove up to Boots at the retail park to get some supplies (nothing exciting!) and also some nail varnish remover, forgetting they don't sell the type I usually use, Elegant Touch Super Strength. Though I had switched to their Moisture Balance nail varnish remover, which I was not keen on and couldn't wait to finish! I found the smell very over-powering and the product dried out my fingers.

So, today I decided to go for a new product, Sally Hansen Strengthening Polish Remover. Well...this stuff is marvelous!! Worked really well at removing my nail varnish and it smells really nice, like flowers! Now, a couple of washes later, my fingers still smell all floral :)

Recommend.

£2.45, Boots.

Now, to the nail varnish.

As mentioned above, I decided to try out my other H&M find, Minnie Mouse nail varnish. This is a gorgeous coral/pink colour and again, as with the Hello Kitty one yesterday, this is really smooth to apply, quick drying and shiny. At just £1.99, these are a must! I got them a couple of months back, but I am sure they will still have some :) There was also a Daisy Duck nail varnish, which was a pale grey colour, and another Hello Kitty one, which was a turquoise colour.

Hope you are all having a good week. It's Wednesday, mid-week, half way to the weekend, yay!
