Spanish Haul Part 2!

Okay, so as I thought, I ended up making some bargain purchases on our second trip to the La Zenia Boulevard shopping mall, I got them all from one shop, and it was called Kiko. From the outside it looked like your average makeup store, but inside it was a beauty lovers heaven! 

As you walk in your handed a little basket which really makes you feel as if you can't leave empty handed! Their was a wall of eyeshadows, a wall of lipsticks, a wall off nail polishes, and then foundation etc. The walls were just covered in samples, as MAC do, and then behind that were stacked boxes of the makeup. 

I ended up purchasing 4 eyeshadows and a nail polish, I would have spent every last penny in their but was under a bit of pressure to hurry up from my parents! 

The first eyeshadow was a staple really, it's a matte brown, it looks like melted chocolate! It's a great colour, and I think it's going to look amazing in the crease! (SHADE 123)
The second colour I picked up was an olive green, which has a slight shimmer to it. I have a similar colour in the Sleek Originals palette, but it was so pretty I couldn't resist! (SHADE 104)
The third shade I picked up was a lilac toned silver colour, it's so pretty! I have nothing at all like it! (SHADE 154)
And the last eye shadow colour I got was the most beautiful Burgundy red colour, which is also shimmery. I'm totally in love with it!  (SHADE 136) 
Oh and I forgot to mention that they were just €1.90 each! 

The nail polishing got was a beautiful shimmery lilac colour, it's so g
Glittery and girly! It's just amazing! And at just €1.50 I couldn't pass! 


It was so amazing in their! They were really nice and friendly too! Everything is packaged nicely, and doesn't look cheap in the slightest! They box their products almost the same as MAC do too! 

I'm hoping ill be able to order from them online, as the products are so pigmented, and really are just as good as high end brands.

Pink Barry M Limited Edition Polish!

Thinking of getting the Limited Edition Barry M Polish!? Well if I was you I'd save myself the £3.99 for something else!

I'm totally in love with most of the Barry M nail paints! I think they are great, however I purchased the neon pink and I'm not all that impressed!

I think the colour is gorgeous however it doesn't really come across very nicely with one, or even two coats, I think the formulation of the polish is too watery. After applying 4 coats of the polish (YES 4!) it still wasn't as opaque as I like my polish usually but it was okay. It didn't have much of a shine to it either, so ill definitely need a top coat of clear polish too.
(After 4 coats) 

Sorry for it being messy by the way! It's getting quite late!

Overall I'd give this polish 4/10

Pretty colour & bottle however when applied its a bit of a let down!

Beautiful Sinful Colors!

Recently I've had a bit of a mad obsession with nail polishes... Yes, I went overboard! Previously I'd been given 3 Sinful Colors nail polishes from a friend, and I really enjoyed using them. I had never seen them before until the yesterday in Boots! They have now brought out a range in England, as previously they hadn't been available.

I couldn't resist...! 
I would have bought the whole stand at only £1.99 each they are a steal, but I controlled my self and purchased two beautiful colour

Colour on the left is called Frenzy. It's a beautiful purple and blue glitter... Very me! It leaves a nice Finnish over the top of coloured polishes, however if your going to wear iron it's own, I think it may need two coats, at least.
The Second colour is called Daredevil...I think the name says it all! It's a brilliant bright pink, with a slight shimmer to it! This also needs around 2 coats for it to be opaque. 

I would definitely rate this nail polish to absolutely everybody, they are even comparable to OPI I feel! Such a bargain price and amazing colour range!

*Products paid for by myself.
Two coats of daredevil, one coat of frenzy.
