Current Shower Time Faves :)

Happy Friday!!!

I love smelly bath and shower products, so thought I'd share with you the products that I am currently using :)

I'm trying to make my way through a mass collection of products at the moment, I haven't even finished my Boxing Day Sale Lush goodies, or started on my Soap & Glory Big Splendour case!

and I now have a Bomb Cosmetics gift set, which my lovely parents gave me for Easter (I'll post about this soon!).

I'm one of those people who smell products in shops and if there's a bargain, I grab it, then I realised I had an issue and really wish I had an en-suite bathroom for all my cosmetics...

Anyone else have the same problem??

FYI - I'm a shower girl :)

I only have baths if I have bath products to use up!

Anyway, on to what I am currently using (minus my Lush Magic Wand, which I forgot to photograph and now it's a mess!).

Glittering shampoo and conditioner!!

I blogged about these here.

 Queen of...

Ta-da!

Shaving Gel

I paid about £3-3.50 from Boots.

I love this.

Re-purchased :)

 Smells like Pina Colada, contains tea tree and aloe vera and is just brilliant!

It leaves my skin feeling so soft after shaving.

There is another one available too, which I need to try!

More info.

Venus Embrace

Razor

Not sure how much I paid for this, about £6 from Boots?

Venus razors are just fab!

Lush Snow Fairy

I got this during my Boxing Day Sale haul, once I managed to find a bottle after a woman raided both of Manchester's Lush stores buying every bottle, every size, that she could get her hands on (blatantly to sell for profit!!!)

Half price at £5.

This is only available at Christmas time.

The smell and product is just so gorgeous and girly! It has iridescent glitter in it too :)

I Love... Juiced Up Blackcurrant

£2.05, Superdrug

Smells so yummy!

The scent reminds me of Lush's Sweetie Pie Jelly :)

Both of these lather a treat and can be used in the shower and bath.

Pretty gels :)

Not far off finished...

The Snow Fairy has been open for a few months!

I Love... Tropical Paradise

Moisturising Body Lotion

£2.05, Superdrug

This just smells like Summer in the Caribbean!

(If I'd ever been to the Caribbean, that is!)

So moisturising but not greasy.

Fast drying too :)

I Love... Cosmetics are great value and great quality.

So many products in their line, I am excited to try more!

Have you tried any of these products?

What are you favourite showertime goodies?

and the big question...

Bath or Shower??

Have a lovely weekend!

Let's hope the rain stops for at least a day...

NAILS: Newest Additions To My Glitter Collection

What girl doesn't love glitter nail polish?

I have recently added another 5 glittery polishes to my collection, and here they are...

Precious Gems

£4.50, River Island

Twinkie

£6, Urban Outfitters

(I would not recommend this, as sadly the stars are difficult to pick up on the brush and start to stick up on the points, becoming sharp and ending up curling up pretty bad! It was worth a try, sadly disappointed though.)

Magnetic

£2.50, Angelica @ Primark

and then, of course, there is my AH-Mazing Models Own Hedkandi glitters...

Ibiza Mix and Disco Heaven

£5 each from Boots (Boots currently have a 2 for £8 on MO, FYI!)

Also available from Models Own online.

The purple which I am wearing is Holiday Fun, from the Angelica collection at Primark, as mentioned here :)

Are you a fan of glitter polishes?

What is your favourite?

I have a load more and plan to do a nail polish collection post at some point, when I get round to finding and gathering all my polishes together :)

Primark Angelica Nail Colour 'Holiday Fun'

Hello All :)

In my last post, I mentioned the Angelica nail polishes, which I bought in Primark during my Birmingham hauling.

Last night I finally got round to trying one of them, Holiday Fun.

I was a bit worried after discovering that it appeared to have dried up slightly when I took it out of the bag, however, all is OK! Phew.

Angelica nail polishes are new to Primark. With so many to choose from, I was spoilt for choice but as I was in the moving queue I just grabbed this and Magnetic for now.

I will report back on Magnetic when I have tried it :)

This cost just £2.50, beautiful bargain!

 

With flash.

 

  

 

Bumps shown.

 

My Thoughts:

Gorgeous colour.

2 coats.

Quick drying but a little gloopy/sticky when applying (with some random bumps, seen on photos).

Great price.

and is it just me, or does this look a little like Illamasqua 'Stance'?

and then tonight, THIS happened...

Nice.

Have you tried Angelica nail polish?

Birmingham Haul

Hello Lovelies :)

A few weeks ago I went to Birmingham for a Thursday night away with my friend. Jo.

We planned to go check out the Selfridges Girls Night In event, but it didn't seem to be on :-( No treatments, no champagne and no cupcakes!

Anyway, we had a shop, ate a Nando's, then had a girly night out, followed by a little more shopping/browsing the following day.

We had fun :)

I treated myself to a few bits whilst in Birmingham...

Primark:

Excuse edge of bed!

My Little Pony Tee £6

Neon Yellow Top £5

Car Print Crop £6

You can see how I style the MLP and neon tops here :)

Nail Polishes in Holiday Fun (neon purple) and Magnetic (silver/rainbow glitter) £2.50 each

- I saw these on Lucy's blog a while ago and was excited to find the Angelica stand in Birmingham Primark :) So much choice! I have yet to use these, as I kinda forgot about them...I just got them out the bag and the purple was drying up :-/ So we'll see how they are and I'll report back to you all!

Urban Outfitters:

Nail Polish in Twinkie £6

(Review on this soon! On first try I would not recommend, sadly! But I am going to give it a second chance...)

Selfridges:

MAC Creme Cup Lipstick £13.50

- I actually bought a MAC lipstick that isn't a Limited Edition/Collection one!

Yes, another MAC lipstick :)

HMV:

Nicki Minaj 'Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded' CD £10

- Review Here. 

River Island:

NYX Nail Polish (yes, more nail polish!) in NPS139 Precious Gems £4.50

and I just HAD to have this when I saw it...

Mermaid blouse £25
I LOVE all things mermaid and this is beautiful!

I also picked up some random bits from the Spar!

Kerrang, just because.

Rainbow Drops, going back to childhood!

and WKD, going back to the early drinking days...hey, we needed some cheap pre-drinks!

I may aswell add this here, as it's not had a post to fit in to...

I got this blouse from Asda a few weeks back, just before Birmingham.

I saw it weeks earlier but wasn't 100% sure but waiting paid off, reduced to £5, had to get it!

Mum said she was horrified when she saw it hanging in my room but liked it on.

Here's how I styled it :)

I also picked up some of my usual purple hair dye, even though I'm still not decided on re-doing the purple yet...but it was on offer at £2.79 in Superdrug. The dye which I use is Schwarzkopf Live Color XXL 46 Cyber Purple. When my hair is dyed it looks something like this...

Not the faded out colour that it currently is!

But I am stuck on what to do...

Purple again, back to blonde, red, brown, ???

Help...

I still need to catch up on the lovely comments left on my previous posts but am currently in a rush to get ready for Lostprophets gig in Birmingham later! Well, I say later, Kelly is going to be at mine in 30 mins, AHHH!! Will catch up on comments tomorrow :)

(This post was live an hour or so ago, but I forgot my River Island purchases so had to edit!)

Barry M 'Silvery Lilac' Nail Polish

 Last night I showed you Denim, one of the new polishes from Barry M and now I present you the second polish I bought yesterday...

Silvery Lilac (324)

I was unsure about this at first, as I don't usually go for light/silver/lilac polishes. Having pale skin I don't think they always suit very well, but I liked the look of this (despite it looking a tad like my Lilac Foil Effect polish - it turns out to be different).

The polish is so pretty.

2 coats used.

Silvery lilac with a lovely green tint and nicely shimmery.

The usual great quality from Barry M, quick drying, great finish etc.

and once again, only £2.99!

(I purchased on buy 2 save £1 at Superdrug.  Boots 3 for 2 looks to have finished tonight, from what I saw during a cheeky look there this evening, sad times!)

 

The above 2 pics show how different the polish looks depending on lighting/shade, pretty!

I really am loving the new Barry M polishes so far and can't wait to get my hands on the Magnetics!

I also have some more Model's Own polishes on my wish list :)

It's clear that I have a nail polish problem...

Will you be purchasing this?

What is your favourite Barry M polish from the new collection?

Barry M 'Denim' Nail Polish

Today I received a little refund money, hoorah!

So, what did I do??

Well, I went up to town on my lunch break, treated myself to a Waitrose lunch...and bought some nail polishes, of course!

Serious nail polish addict.

I was shocked to discover that Superdrug actually had ALL the new Barry M polishes!

- It is very rare that we get new stuff in so soon, let alone the whole collection!

I didn't even realise there was new Barry M polishes, until it popped up on the Barry M Facebook page on Sunday :-o

- I was also saddened to learn that Once Upon a Time has been discontinued :-( 

I hope mine does not ever dry out, or I will be very sad indeed!

Enough rambling, spoilt for choice but trying to be sensible until pay day, I decided to just get 2 today, so I got Denim and Silvery Lilac.

Superdrug have an offer, buy 2 and save £1. However, I believe Boots still have 3 for 2 on.

£2.99 each.

Barry M's new polishes look so good, I've been wondering what they will come up with next and never expected a load of new polishes released at once! I particularly love the look of the Magnetics :) Next on my list!

Barry M never let me down!

Tonight I am sporting Denim (325)...

Denim goes on glossy but dries matte.

It has a lovely silver shimmer to it.

Dries quickly.

One coat only required.

and it really has a denim effect!

- I love this.

Without flash.

With flash.

Here's both Denim and Silvery Lilac:

Silvery Lilac review to follow :)

What do you think of Barry M's new offerings?

Will you be purchasing any of these?
