Day 5-6 of my No7 BLOGMAS

Day 5 - 6 of my No7 Blogmas

Less than twenty days to go now until christmas day, I am so excited! We have a lot of family around my mums this year I think its about 15 people in total. A lot of mouths to feed and a lot of children around, and that just makes it more magical.

 So I am on to day five and six now, I have found some amazing products which I will purchase again and others not so much. This is a great induction to any range if you are unsure about them and some are travel size others are full size.  
So hope you are all enjoying the reviews so far, I know a few of you are mentioning to me about not linking to the actual item on the website, So from now on I will be linking.

No7 Stay Perfect Nail colour

£6.00

Things are getting exciting now, I opened my calendar yesterday to find a lovely nail varnish. A beige which is ok, you know with No7 playing safe with their shades and everything. It is more  of an autumnal shade then winter shade but my mum loves colours like this, So this is one for her. 

The varnish itself is a cute size and really easy to apply on the nail. Even better then the ciate Nail varnishes, another good thing is the pigmentation its a really good colour. Over all I would purchase this again if it was a different shade.

Lash Impact Mascara £13.50

Absolutely amazing mascara, I would compare this one with elizabeth arden mascara which is priced at  almost double compared to this. It gives you a no clumps, separated lash look. Which makes it look like your wearing false eyelashes without going through the trouble of putting them on. I got the travel sized one, which is so so pretty its all red and sparkly. A very christmassy mascara! 

This itself would make a lovely gift and when I get paid I'm going to have to buy it!

Day 2 - 4 BLOGMAS

Day 3- 4 No7 christmas BLOGMAS 

Another day another post, Ah almost. Its day three of my advent calendar and let me tell you things are getting exciting. 

December 3rd 

No7 eyeshadow brush - £7.25 

I can erm and ar about this all day, I think I like it, It  makes it easy to apply loose eyeshadow, but doesn't blend that well as my other eyeshadow brushes. Doesn't mean it isn't good, I just  have others that are better. This however is a good travel size eyeshadow brush with is easy to pop in the make up bag if your in a rush. The bristles make it hard to apply very light colour, but it your going for the darker shade or even to use with concealer this is perfect for you. 

Overall, I would purchase again. 8/10 

December 4th 

Youthful Eye Serum    £19.50 for 15ml

This is a good priced product compared to other high end brands I have used. I am lazy when it comes to my beauty routine, I just cleanse, tone then moisturise I never use eye serum!! It is hard to review this given you are meant to wait four weeks to see an effect, It is meant to reduce puffiness, dark circles and any wrinkles. 

This is a short review, I tried it overnight but I cant wait for weeks to do this review. It smells nice but seems yet again a little pointless unless you have wrinkles or dark circles I however am blessed with none!

Smashbox - LIPGLOSS 24/7

SMASHBOX - lipgloss 

shade 24/7

I have never used smash box cosmetics, I always stick with either MAC or Bobbi brown.  But every time I walk past the cosmetics stand in Boots I always see some very pretty eyeshadows and blusher. Now I am a women of sense. I won't spend lots and lots on a brand if I don't like it or I have never used it before. What's the point in that. So on Friday I was in a rush and noticed they have a sale section! 

Did you guys know they had sales?

And they had in a pot five gorgeous lip glosses, I did have too favourites however I love a plum colour for the winter! 

I am always more of a lipstick more than lipgloss due to the fact hair and lipgloss is a disaster waiting to happen, with long hair and wind it becomes sticky and rather messy. 

The lipgloss itself is usually £16.00, On sale I purchased it at a mere £8.00 

The lipgloss had a sloped applicator wand which makes it a lot easier to apply, And Actually comes in a better case then Bobbie brown, which is impressive in my books. I am one of these people who like quality products that look good too. 

'

The colour itself is really pretty, not as dark as I would like but you sure have that purple plummy colour. the lipgloss too lasts for absolutely hours. Has anyone got a darker shade in Smashbox? 

Also if you have noticed my christmas tree, I put it up few days ago! Getting all festive quite early! 

EXCITED!

Smashbox lipgloss - 8/10

Overall really nice, good price and size just wished the shade was at dark as it looks on the outside! 

Some recent buys … OCTOBER

RECENT BUYS 

Hello everyone! I have reached 250 followers!! 

This is such a big deal for me as this started out as an online sort of journal. Never really put to much effort in to what I wrote just sort of rambled on about anything, However being sponsored and knowing people actually read my blog is given me more reason to blog more. 

So enjoy some recent buys.

ColorSHOW - Maybelline NAILS

Arg, My love of buying nail varnish has not stopped. Being in the job I am I can only wear nude or natural colour nail varnish! It sucks..yes. I have literally had a french manicure on for a whole month. So changing it up I was having a nose around Boots store and saw some lovely sparkly colours. Right next to the sparkly nail counter there was a 3 for 2 offer. Ah tempted. So I ended up buying three, I did find the palest pink I could find an two lovely glitter polishes. 

1. silver glitter - Light up        2. Pink - Peach smoothie     3.Pink glitter - Rose Chic

I used light up over peach smoothie, And its really a pretty colour, The closer to winter it gets the more I love everything sparkly! So all three nail varnishes It worked out about £6.00. I have never used nail varnishes from Maybelline so I will see how it lasts!

AUSSIE MIRACLE DRY SHAMPOO

I was gutted the new herbal essence dry shampoo was out of stock everywhere!! Like there must of been a sudden rush for people to buy the stuff. I thought I would try something new, However I am more that let down. Wheres my Batiste when you need it. I payed £3.00 for this, Used it once and then tried to use it again and nothing would come out and yet its full.

CRAP nozel, Don't like the smell and it didn't improve my hair after I hadn't washed it for a day. It didn't actually make any difference. I think this is the first negative review I have left, But its so shockingly terrible I will never purchase it again. 

Mega instant my ass.

Silver necklace - Primark £2.50

I NEVER buy silver jewellery, or jewellery from Primark at all. In my eyes I would wear it once and it would break. So I rarely make any purchases from this shop. However on my hunt for hairbands, I walked past this necklace. It has a sort of contemporary design and it is different from the rest of my collection. And for only £2.50 If it broke it isn't a huge loss. 

Silver and diamond earrings. 

These where a little gift to myself from getting a new job, they are beautiful and shaped like a snowflake which I love. Makes me feel like I am wearing christmas earrings. I am not going to tell you the price but I did get a huge discount. Its sterling silver and 0.05ct diamond and they just sparkle. 

Every girl needs diamond earrings, right?
