Barry M Silk Nail Varnish

Like most girls I can never have to many nail Varnishes. I am always drawn to the latest nail colours and styles. Your nails are a great way to finish of an outfit,they are more like a fashion accessory. 

Barry M Nail Varnishes have always stood out to me as being the most unique and daring with their colours and styles. So I always check the latest nail varnishes they have on sale. 

I recently came across the new silk collection and within a second I had the lovely blue Mist and pink Blossom in my hands. I love the silk collection and if I could stretch my money far enough I would have easily bought every colour. But for now I picked my two favoutrite colours and the rest will have to wait until next payday!  

So above we have the gorgeous girly Pink shade called Blossom. The nail varnish has a quick drying quality which is great as 2-3 coats brings out the best in the varnish. Blossom has a beautiful matte finish with a sweet shimmer. The colour gives of a very subtle metallic feel. I love metallic and pastels so this really is a combination of my two favourites. This is a beautiful colour for spring/summer and with pastel colours being so in fashion at the moment will compliment any pastel outfit.  

Below we have the beautiful blue shade called Mist. Again the varinish had a quick drying quality and looks better wit 2-3 coats. I feel Mist has a stronger matte finish but still has the subtle shimmer. Again this shade is great for spring/summer and will look perfect with any other pastel shade. I also reckon this shade would really compliment a lovely summer tan but unfortunately I am white as a ghost at the moment so I will have to just imagine.

Below I have added a photo of how the colours look on. I couldn't decide which colour I wanted to wear first so decided to wear both for a cute girly look. They look great together and really compliment each other. I really do love that with pastel colours you can mix as many as you want and they will not clash.

I can not wait until I have the whole collection and look forward to mix and matching all the colours together. The finish really does give a silky texture and has to be one of my new favoutite styles. I will definitely be wearing the Silky collection throughout summer/14.

MAC Eye-Shadow Duo

At the moment this is my absolute favourite makeup product. I bought this eye-shadow duo at Bicester Village in Oxford. I just liked the colours compared to the others that were available and wanted to purchase my first ever MAC eye-shadow. I have to say I am very pleased that I did pick this duo as I didn't realise how much I was actually going to love and use it ! I now understand why everyone says how great MAC eye-shadows really are. You get lovely strong bold colour without all the crumbly lose powder that falls and smudges. And the colours blend so easily with a beautiful professional finish.



So lets start with the gorgeous colour Radial Pink. The Radial Pink is a very light shade of white with a soft pink hint and a beautiful shimmery finish. This is a great colour to run across the eyelids leaving your eyes looking bigger and fresh. I never usually wear pinks for eye-shadows as I feel they can make your eyes look sore and irritated. However this shade is so light and frosty there is no chance of that happening. You really could pair this eye-shadow with any colour you wanted and the quality lets you blend the with such ease.
 

Next we have Shadowy Lady. This is a MAC classic. Im sure most MAC lovers will have this colour so you will all know how amazing it is. Shadowy Lady is a smokey blackened plum colour. I have noticed in other reviews people have found this shade hard to blend. I honestly haven't had this problem and the shadow has always blended nicely for me giving a gorgeous smokey effect. This colour is great to work into the socket giving a smokey contouring effect. Shadowy Lady has a stunning matte finish so works so well with the shimmery Radial Pink. This is also perfect to run along the lash line using an angled brush for a soft liner look. 

    

I have to admit at the moment I use this everyday! I just love how the colours blend together so well. It does help that I have green eyes so these two colours really help to enhance and bring out the green however I would still recommend this duo for any eye colour. You can play with the intensity of the colours and use the Radial Pink for a softer day time look. Then come night you can add more Shadowy Lady for a sexy smokey look.
 
Hope you enjoyed this review :D
Whats your favourtie MAC duo ?

Topshop Lipstick & Lip-gloss

For the review on the Eye Shadow Trio please click the link - Topshop Eye shadow Trio

As i was looking through the makeup section in Topshop The Glaze lip-glosses and lipsticks stood out to me. I have been looking for a bright pink lipstick for a while as i am starting to run out of the one i currently wear. So i needed wanted to get the lipstick but the lip-gloss just appeared in my hand when i got to the tills to pay ! 

I decided to buy the lip-gloss in a shade called Bubblegum. I love all things bubblegum so i'm guessing this was just another sign that I should purchase the lip-gloss and I am so pleased that I did. The colour is a lovely subtle pink. I was a little worried the lip-gloss would be a little bland but it definitely has a lovely colour to it. The gloss is very shimmery as it has little flecks of glitter inside the gloss which makes it even more pretty and girly. 

The product itself also stays on very well and is long lasting. I have been wearing it all day and have only had to top it up once. 

The lip gloss is £7 which i feel is quite reasonable as it is such a lovely gloss.

Now on to the lipstick! I absolutely love this shade. Although it is very bright so maybe it's not to everyone's liking. The shade I decided to get is called Bombshell. If your anything like me when you buy a lipstick you cant wait to get home to try it on. As soon as i left the shop I put the lipstick on and I can happily say it lasted me for the rest of the shopping trip! (around 3 hours also had a drink and it didn't budge) The lipstick is a little patchy when  first applied but i found as i put more on and rubbed my lips together it soon smoothed out. This may also be because I need to wear it in a bit yet. The lipstick is a little expensive at £9 but i think the price is justified with how long lasting it is as you wont have to keep reapplying. The lipstick does have a slight shine to it as you can see in the picture but overall is more matte than shiny. 

I applied the lip-gloss on top of the lipstick. This adds another great look! The lip-gloss tones the lipstick down giving it a more subtle look and a lovely deep pink shimmery effect. I would recommend buying a lip-gloss and a lipstick as you can have 3 great shades and also adds to the lasting power.

You can purchase both products at Topshop.

Have you tried any of the Topshop Lip-glosses or lipsticks ? I would love to hear your opinion
