NOTD - OPI Number One Nemesis

Ok, so this is the second of my two Spiderman collection polishes, and the second made with the baddie in mind, wonder if that says anything about me!



In the shade this is a steely, murky grey colour with a great shimmer but not frosty enough to create dreaded stroke marks or highlight any flaws on the nail, which I am lucky enough not to have (thanks Nail Envy!)



I waited 3 days to photograph this in the sun but gave up and ended up sitting indoors, on my sofa with my hand by the window waiting for the few seconds of sunshine that kept coming and going! This was after sitting in my freezing cold garden for half hour and getting nothing! Ah the things we beauty bloggers do!





The next three pictures show why I wanted to get sunlight shots! Hidden within the grey/silver base is a multitude of multi coloured micro glitter particles, used macro blurred here to get a real sight of the sparkles!







This was another really hardwearing polish from OPI, I only changed it as I get bored easily! Application was good, covered nicely in 2 coats but I ended up using 3 to take it to full opacity.

Number One Nemesis is available for a limited period from http://www.lenawhite.co.uk/store/spiderman/number-one-nemesis

Mont Bleu Foot File *WARNING* feet pics included!

This is the first part of a two part post.

Now I live in Birkenstocks on summer and DM's or Trainers in winter, none of these are especially good for keeping my trotters smooth, that and total lack of doing anything to them apart from the odd lick of polish on my toes!

I was contacted by Mont Bleu to test a product and I went for a foot file, not thinking about having to post horrible pictures of my feet!

Loooooook! Isn't it pretty?!




So this is my unkempt feet, oh the shame!

I fell in love with this design and its too cute! Comes in a lovely velvet pouch and is made of glass, a bit like my nail files!

This was a bit harder to picture but the file was excellent on my hard skin and this is the file after, it was covered! Run under the tap and leave to dry to recharge its powers ha!

This is the dust on my feet!

There will be a follow up post in a few weeks after some use every 3-4 days and hopefully we shall see some improvement to my horrible feet!

This products was sent to me for review, I received no payment and all opinions are mine. 

This beautiful file is available from here 

FOTD - Natural

Today my make-up was spur of the moment, surprisingly for a beauty blogger I don't wear make-up daily.

So I went for a quick and natural face

For the base I tried Ginvera Green Tea Nude Cover BB cream. I have tried a few European BB creams and not been very happy as they either have a nice texture but disappear to nothing or are so thick they are hard to work with and feel mask like.
But this was light, covered well and smelt lovely, it is expensive - £20 for a full size but I barely made a dent in the sachet I used so think it might be worth the splurge!



My eyes are simply Mac pigment in Melon, Bare Minerals Flawless Definition mascara and Bare Mineral Turn On highlighter in the inner corners and on my brow bone.





Lips just take a slick of pink gloss, Chanel Levres Scintillantes in 166 Amour a pretty pink with a hint of sparkle, my favourite type of gloss! This one has no flavour which is lovely, some of the stronger scented ones tend to make my throat feel scratchy!



Cheeks are blushed with my go to - Laura Geller Blush and Brighten in Berry and highlighted with Mac Magically Cool Liquid Powder in Honey Rose.



Overall I like this kind of look for the daytime, especially when I don't fancy playing with pastels or brights!



What is your daytime face routine?

L'oreal Rouge Caresse

I have decided that I do too many posts featuring just my nails or my whole face, so thought I should start doing a few more in depth posts on face make-up and thought I would start with my newest purchase.

 I have had an interest in these since seeing the advert as I am not keen on the infamous Revlon lip Butters! I decided to take a shot at the amazing deal for two of these on Buyapowa as I definitely wanted Cheeky Magenta after swatching it on my hand recently and also like a light pink
 



 Swatched on the hand Fashionista Pink was a bit meh, it didn't float my boat

 

My face is totally bare as I just swatched the lippies, so excuse the crater like pores!

 

Fashionista Pink is a really light pink on the lips, Not sure how long this would stay on the lip but it does feel

lovely and light

 This for me is the star of the set! I want to be braver with my lip shades and feel like this is a perfect step into brighter, funkier lip colours but without being in your face.

 

Rouge Caresse is available from all good cosmetics retailers and is available in 10 shades RRP £7.99 but currently 3 for 2 at Boots!
