Festival Makeup Ready

Festival season has already begun, and there still some great festivals coming up with some fantastic line ups... I love music so festivals have always been something that excites me!
Whether you are camping it up, or just coming down for the day (and staying in a nice, warm hotel...) a natural makeup look is perfect for a festival. We all know Natural Collection; available online or in-store at Boots, is affordable and good quality, and is perfect for a natural and pretty beauty look. With all their products costing only £1.99, it is ideal for any budget.
 A pretty nail colour like this one from Natural Collection; which is the Nail Colour in Hibiscus is a perfect bright pink would look great for a festival I think, nice and bright and colourful!
You want to keep makeup nice and simple if you are camping out I imagine, so a cover up stick would be ideal for me to just hide those naughty blemishes and a waterproof mascara (cause we all know Britain is known for its rain...) so it will stay in place all day! Lastly, a pretty tinted lip balm like this one in Caribbean Crush is perfect to add a pop of colour while still keeping your lips soft and hydrated is ideal to pop in your rucksack.

What is your go - to festival makeup look?

FNUG Skinny Jeans Nail Polish

It isn't often I talk about nails or nail varnish or anything nail related on my blog. I like wearing nail varnish but I have always had the bad habit of biting my nails - gross I know. I've tried to stop this awful habit in recent Months which has meant I have taken a lot more interest in nail varnishes. I have found I really like nudes, greys and lilac colours. I think they are very classic and underated colours for nails. I'm not quite brave enough to sport bright nails just yet so this is a perfect shade for me.

You will have to excuse my nails in the photograph - this picture was taken a few Weeks ago now, and I haven't yet had chance to take another picture due to memory card problems!

FNUG are a natural beauty brand which sell a range of nail polishes which contain strengthening silica and vitamins and caviar. The polishes are designed to condition the nails as well as look great. I chose the shade Skinny Jeans as it looked a really wearable colour which would be suitable for work.


I think the polish is very pigmented. With just one layer of product, it gives a good colour pay off just like the bottle. When I have been wearing this polish I have been using two coats of nail polish and a top coat, and it lasts really well with no chipping for around 6 Days. The brush is a good size and distrbutes the polish evenly. I love the colour of this nail varnish, it is described as a 'plum brown' colour which I think is accurate to the shade.
Overall I am quite impressed with the nail polish - the polish lasts on the nails - and if it is beneficial to the condition of the nails I am all for it.

You can buy this nail polish online here at Mypure for the price of £12.

Review: Priti NYC Shirley Temple Peony Nail Polish

Are you looking for a sheer nail polish which is perfect for work? Look no further!

Priti NYC products are completely vegan, non-toxic and are free of carcinogenic ingredients.
The shade of this Priti NYC nail polish is Shirley Temple, which is a very pale peachy nude. It is quite a sheer nail polish so adds just a touch of colour.
I think this colour is perfect for work, as it is so simple and looks very professional and neat. I don't often wear bold colours on my nails so this polish is perfect for me.

It takes 3 - 4 coats of Shirley Temple to make the colour more opaque, which is great as the colour is buildable if you only need a sheer colour on the nails, or want more of a bold colour. The sheer shade is perfect for work or a manicure.
The brush is of a good size and it is very easy to apply onto the nails. I think this shade would also make a great toe nail colour too!

The fantastic thing about this nail polish is that it is free from toluene, dibutyl phthalate, formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, and camphor, and it is also suitable for vegans.

This gorgeous nail polish is available to buy here* from www.lucyrose.biz.

Top Beauty Picks For Spring! #BloggersDoItBetter

Top Beauty Picks For Spring

Hi everyone, today is the very first #BloggersDoItBetter Challenge! We were asked to write about something Spring inspired, I must admit I did struggle with this challenge a little. I wasn't sure at all how I could include Spring into one of my blog posts. After a little thinking I decided on a 'Top beauty picks for Spring' post! This isn't something I would normally write about as it is a little out of my comfort zone; I usually just write reviews and favourite product posts but I thought I would just go for it! So here you have it, this is my interpretation of Spring for the first challenge topic. I hope you enjoy it!

I'm not usually the type of person to 'only wear a certain shade in particular Seasons' but I did a little research of what is in fashion this Spring, and have been loving the pastels and neon shades: they're everywhere!
I love a pink lip, and think this MUA lipstick in shade 12 is perfect for the Spring Months. It is a nice vibrant pop of colour that brightens up any outfit. I searched through my perfumes but couldn't find a 'perfect' scent for Spruing. I have picked this Impulse Body Spray in Be Surprised. It has notes of violets and red fruits so smells beautiful and fresh for Spring. I couldn't decide on the perfect nail colour so I picked two! One is Models Own Pukka Purple. It is a lilac toned purple, although it does look a deep purple on the photograph. I love this colour but find it difficult to wear but it looks great for this time of year. I love Models Own nail varnishes as they have a lovely finish. I also selected Essie's Beach Bum Blu. I know both neons and pastels are popular, although i do think this polish would look great any time of the year. It is metallic - look aquamarine colour which reminds me of mermaids. I tihnk this colour would be perfect on the toes when wearing Jelly Shoes or a Peep Toe shoe! My last top pick for Spring has to be a blush. i am obsessed with blushers, and have opted for Loreal' Le Blush in 115 True Rose. It is a soft, dusky pink that adds that subtle rush of colour to your cheeks. 

What are your top beauty picks for Spring?
