Nails of the Day

The nail polish I am wearing at the moment is one of the nail polishes that Nails inc made for the magazine Marie Claire. There are four shades and I picked up this pretty pastel pink called 'Fizz'. 

I love this pink shade, and think it is the perfect spring polish! I have been loving this nail polish this month, it lasts well and has a lovely formula. In the picture above, I have actually only got one coat of the polish! (Which I love as that means less drying time!)

I am definitely a pink polish lover and this one has flown into my top favourites! The only thing about this (and other Nails inc polishes) that I am not too keen on is the thinner brush. I do prefer a 'fatter' nail polish brush as I find it easier to paint my nails that way. 

What nail polish are you wearing at the moment? Did you get any of the polish from the magazine too?

Friday Five

Easter blossom wreath I Bunny egg cups I Chalkboard bunny stickers I Personalised decorated jar I Easter biscuits

With Easter on the way what better than to have an Easter inspired Friday Five post! I love Easter time and all the extremely (or should I say 'egg'streamely!) cute things that are out at this time of year! I have been loving scrolling through Not on the Highstreet at all the lovely things they have for Easter and I have put together five of my favourite things - which was quite difficult to do seeing as I love so many of the thongs they have! 

My favourite thing would probably be the very pretty Easter blossom wreath. I think it would really brighten up a room and gives a real spring feel too. My very close second favourite would be the Easter biscuits, they would be the perfect gift or to have to serve to guests and family that come over to visit. 

Which of these is your favourite? What things have you found that have got you excited for Easter?

The Everyday Tops

left - rightt

1 I 2 I 3 I 4 I 5 I 6 I 7 I 8

The everyday basics of clothing are most often looked over for much more exciting pieces. However we mustn't forget about them either, so I have been scrolling through the New Look website and put together a few of my favourite everyday wear tops. These are tops that can be worn in many ways and with many other things, for example jeans, skirts, shorts etc. They can also be dressed up or down depending on where you are going/what you are doing. So don't hold back on the basics and stock up on some everyday tops. 

Which of these tops do you like best?

Mother's Day Gift Guide

Mother's day is getting closer, but don't worry if you haven't got anything yet or still don't know what to get for your mum as I have put together some gift guides for the special day!

 Clinique gift set I Emma Hardie gift set I Origins face mask gift set I Marc Jacobs Daisy gift set I Lancome eyes gift set

Got a beauty loving mum? Then treat her to a gift set. Maybe give her something she hasn't tried before/bee wanting to try. Or get her some of her favourite beauty products.

Floral oval mirror I Floral textured photo frame I Cut glass vase I Butterfly glass flutes I Two tier cake stand

Is your mum not really that into beauty, get her something for her home. Maybe some pretty décor or something useful. Want to personalise something? Get a photo frame and put in a picture of the two of you, or one of her favourite photos. 

Flowers: 1 I 2 I 3 I 4 I 5

Plants: 1 I 2 I 3 I 4 I 5

Of course don't forget to get her some flowers! Pop into your local florist and buy her a pretty bouquet or arrangement. You could also go onto the Interflora website and order an arrangement from there. Want something longer lasting? Then you can always get her a pretty planted design. 

What are you planning on doing for Mother's day?

Beauty Product Empties

I have come to the end of a few beauty products recently, so I thought that I would do another empties post for you! 

Benefit Fakeup concealer 

This is probably one of my holy grail products at the moment. I really love this concealer, in fact when I was coming to the end of this one I told myself that I would try and use up some of the other concealers I have before buying a new one. However that didn't quite work out and I have already repurchased! Whoops! I also have a review on this if you want to know some more about it. 

Did I like using this product? Yes
Will I repurchase this? Yes (already have!)
Product rating out of 5: 5/5

Benefit They're real mascara

Much like fakeup this has been my go to mascara for a while. I always have one in my makeup collection. However there are so many mascaras that I hear are really good so I have put off repurchasing to try some others. 

Did I like using this product? Yes
Will I repurchase this? Not at the moment as want to try other mascaras, but in the future yes
Product rating out of 5: 4/5

TRESemme Ultimate hold hairspray

I don't tend to use hairspray a lot but when I do this is the one I always go for. I don't like the sticky or crunchy feel that some hairspray can be. However this one holds my hair in place and doesn't leave that horrible sticky or crunchy feel, hooray! 

Did I like using this product? Yes
Will I repurchase this? Yes
Product rating out of 5: 5/5

Sanex Zero deodorant

The reason I bought this deodorant was because I heard that normal deodorants contain quite a few bad for skin ingredients, so when I read a review on this one I thought I would give it a try. I think that it was well worth trying, I really like this deodorant and I also like knowing that I'm using something that is better for my skin too!

Did I like using this product? Yes
Will I repurchase this? Yes (already have!)
Product rating out of 5: 4/5

Boots Build up removal shampoo

I also bought this after reading a few good reviews. I like to use this around once a month or when ever I feel my hair needs an extra refresh. It basically removes any build up of hair products left leaving hair squeaky clean. It is a bit of a tricky product to get hold of though as it is difficult to find online so going in store is your best bet!

Did I like using this product? Yes
Will I repurchase this? Yes (already have!)
Product rating out of 5: 4/5

Have you tried any of these products? What products have you come to the end of recently?
