Rimmel Metal Rush Nail Polish in Royal Blue.


Heyy!
I've been eyeing up this nail polish for about a month now but because I wasn't too sure what the colour would look like on my nails. 
However yesterday, I was in Asda and they had it on sale for £2.98 instead of £4 so I took that as a sign that this nail polish and I were meant to be.

I like that it's different to any other nail polish I have ever tried. Sometimes it looks green, then blue, than purple then grey so I couldn't really describe what colour it is but it definitely isn't royal blue!

After applying it,I didn't really like it to be honest but when I went to college the next day, it looked really good! I was so intrigued by my nails as the colour seemed to change every minute. Also, sometimes it has a sort of ombre effect as it gets lighter towards the tip of my nails.

I'd definitely buy this nail polish again as it seems like it could go with so many outfits and it gives my nails the 'edgy' look.
I had to put on 3 coats to get the colour to show on my nails as it was very transparent with just one.
It dries very quickly also.

Affordable Christmas gifts for under £10!


Hello! 
This post is going to be on affordable gifts for under £10.
If you have quite a big group of  friends and you're not very keen on spending £30 on them each or you simply don't have the money to or you just want to buy yourself something then you're reading the right post!

Have yourself a merry little..
Lipstick

A girl can ever have too many lipsticks. Fact.

Left to right
MUA Lip Boom It's a Situation £3 I really don't like the highlighter but the lipstick itself is really good and you're spoilt or choice with 8 shades to choose from. 
Topshop Beguiled £8 Beautiful wine colour on the lips, would look great on any skin tone!
MUA Shade £1 For a pound, you can't go wrong. 
Rimmel Starry Eyed £4.99 I love this colour! It's incredibly creamy and I find myself reaching for it everyday.


Tis' the season to wear..
Statement Jewellery

These chains and earrings can really make an outfit so much so that you might not even need to wear any other jewellery. 
Choker necklace £1.99 Theses were from eBay, I can never seem to find them in H&M so I went to eBay!
 Republic Earrings £6  I fell in love with these as soon as I saw it in Republic and I can't wait to wear them.
Primark Necklace £4 This is from Primark.  I love the way it lays on my chest and just gives a dress that extra pizazz that it needs.
Earrings £7 Asos They may not look big in the picture but these earrings are massive! They're beautiful though. They are "I've arrived" earrings and no one can miss them.


Deck your nails with lots of..
Nail Polish

L.A Colors Jewel Tone £1 Everyone needs a little bit of glitter on their nails around this time of year. This one is called Jewel Tone.
Rimmel Sky High £3.69  & Rimmel Double Decker Red £2.99  These are both colours that are festive and go so well with this time of year.


On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me lots and lots of...
Makeup

Sleek Blusher These are good quality and there is such a wide range of shades so there will be at least one that suits you!
MUA Eyeliner Lovely Lilac and Royal Blue They add a pop of colour to the eyes. The royal blue is indeed very blue so if you'd prefer something more subtle then lovely Lilac is for you.

MUA Heaven & Earth Eyeshadow pallet  You get 12 eye shadows for £4 and the pigmentation is amazing!

Empties!

Hello, hope your week's going well?
These are things I was about going to throw away so I thought I'd write a post on them and yes, there are 5 bottles of Rubicon and I'm not ashamed to admit it. 


Left to Right:

ASDA Extra Virgin Olive Oil
There are many uses of Olive oil e.g cooking, mosturizer for the body, shaving. I use this for my natural hair as it nourishes, moisturzes, strengthens and conditions my hair. It also helps to heal dry flaky scalp.

Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula
I use this every day after showering. There's nothing worse than dry skin, it makes my skin feel so tight so I breathe a sigh of relief every time I'm done applying it. I've already bought another one, no long ting.

Dove Maximum Protection Deodorant
I have a blog post on this deodorant which I will link here. It's simply amazing & there's no going back. Once you go dove, you fall in love. 

Rubicon (5x)
I'm in LOVE with this fizzy drink as you can probably tell. For £0.89, I just can't resist! I only buy them when I have college on a weekday..does that help?

Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes
I use this to take my makeup off (duh) and it does wonders for my face. It restores, softens and smoothes the skin, contains no alcohol, no oil, no perfume and no colour. What more could a girl ask for? Diamonds

Bic Biro
Just thought I'd include this as I always lose my pen before the ink finishes. I'm incredibly proud of myself.

Viva by Fergie body spray
My mum got this for her birthday so I slyly took it from her just to to try it out. It's not my favourite scent for a body spray but it's decent.

Vaseline
I take Vaseline with me everywhere and if I don't I can always count on my friends to have some so when making friends make sure they carry Vaseline with them just in case you run out.  It's not a surprise that it's running out as I basically use it 5 to 6 times a day. 

17 Photo Flawless skin primer
I've been using this primer since July - bearing in mind that I don't wear makeup everyday - and I can't complain. It's really soft on the skin and has the smoothest texture. Although it looks really small, it contains quite a lot a and I'm definitely picking another up when I can.

Rimmel London Day 2 Night Mascara
There was a massive rave about this mascara so I thought I'd see what all the fuss was about! My ridiculously short lashes are lengthen by it so I can't complain.


Have you noticed that one bottle of Rubicon, the cocoa butter tub, the body spray and the skin primer don't have lids? 
I always lose lids!

What have you used up?
