Nails Inc. Bling It On Leather Effect And Gold Skulls

Nails Inc. Bling It On Leather & Skulls* £19.00  Tan/Soho Mews

When  it comes to manicures, I am always willing to try new trends and textures. Caviar, velvet, sequin, you name it :)

I wouldn't wear any of the above on a normal day, but a caviar accent nail looks really lovely in my opinion.

There is one new nail effect I have been loving, and I actually wore it for a couple of days. It looks nice, interesting and chic and it is perfect for a day to night manicure. It is the leather effect nail polish by Nails Inc.

Review: Belif Anti-Dark Circle Eye Serum and Anti-Mark Correction Serum

Belif are a brand I wasn't familiar with, until I was introduced to their products about two months ago.

Nose-Shine Boy Blackhead Remover* was the first product I reviewed and I still love using it.

I was very intrigued by their corrective range and I decided to try the Anti-Dark Circle Eye Serum and Anti-Mark Correction Serum.

I have been using both products for 6-7 weeks and it is finally time for my verdict.
When it comes to corrective serums, I always give them over a month to work their magic.

Spring

I was pleasantly surprised when I first seen our back garden. It is full of beautiful flowers and other mysterious plants :) haha.  I am planning to sort out a vegetable patch as well. I will let you know how it turns out. I am really looking forward to it. 

I just noticed that I published two similar posts in the past: Autumn and Winter :) 

I will definitely add a Summer one in June/July. It gives me an excuse to take more photos :)

Life #1

Every time I try to focus on writing more beauty posts, I end up adding the most random content :) haha

Well... This time I am sharing some photos I took in April and May. You might know that I moved house recently, so my life has been pretty hectic. The full process was really exhausting, but it is finally over and I love our new house :) I still have some unpacking to do, but it can wait. 

Stocking Up On Basics: New Look Haul

As soon as the sun comes out in Spring/Summer, I feel like I have nothing to wear. I do the same thing every single year.. During colder months -I spend all my money on skincare and makeup, during warmer months- I go clothes shopping non stop! I started ordering new dresses, tops and skirts a couple of weeks ago and I can't seem to stop. My favourite places to shop for plus size clothing are New Look, Forever21 and Asos. 

I placed quite a big order with New Look yesterday and I cannot wait for it to arrive.

White Leather iPad Cover + Gold Studs = Perfection

I have been looking for a perfect iPad cover for a long time. I bought a couple of different designs, but none of them stole my heart. When I was offered a chance to review a cover of my choice from www.mytrendyphone.co.uk , I spent a couple of hours browsing through all the options and I finally found The One!!!

Nail Girls London Nail Polishes

 Beige #4 Mannequin Nude*  Beige #1 Caramel Mocha* £10.50 each

I do love a nude manicure. It looks very elegant and goes with everything. In Spring/Summer I usually go for neons and brights, but I often wear nude colours as well. 

When I was asked to pick a couple of nail polishes from Nail Girls London for review, I was instantly drawn to the Nude, Beige, Taupe section :) I went for  Caramel Mocha and Mannequin Nude.

Cath Collins Oh La La Orange Flower EDT review

After sticking to Flower by Kenzo for many, many years, I decided to experiment with fragrance and managed to build up quite a big collection of perfumes. I also love the look of  pretty bottles lined up on my dressing table and it pleases my inner hoarder :) haha

The newest addition to my fragrance wardrobe is Oh La La Orange Flower EDT* by Cath Collins.  

It is a brand new Citrus Floral SS13 scent, released along with Oriental "Lily Fandango"

Koren Zander Brush Soaps Review: Pro Ultra and Lemon

Weekend is a perfect time to clean your makeup brushes! It is VERY important to have a brush cleansing routine, especially when it comes to foundation brushes. If you don't keep them clean, you might end up spreading loads of bacteria allover your face. What about  a dirty blending brush? It is my worst nightmare!  It can ruin the pretties eye makeup look! 

I wash all my brushes once a week and two most used foundation brushes and a blending brush twice a week.  I normally use Dr Bronner's Organic Liquid Soap for this purpose, but I have been trying out a new method and I quite like it. 

Barry M TMLP Lipstick review

I discovered this beautiful Barry M lipstick, by reading a post on Meg's blog. I have no idea why I didn't know about this lovely product before, but I finally got my mitts on it and I LOVE IT!

The Barry M TMLP  lipstick is the coolest lip product ever! First of all, it is green! I was really confused when I looked at the photos, but I soon realised that the lipstick changes colour to a pink shade in contact with skin. 

Tom Kennett Watches at Legally Glam

When I was browsing an online shop called Legally Glam , I came across some gorgeous designs by Tom Kennett.

I must admit, I've never heard of Kennett Watches , but they look very luxurious, with attention to detail.
