NOTD GLITTERATI /// illamasqua

Shade of the day; glitterati by illamasqua . I may have to take this off as it is so hard to apply evenly. I ap[plied this over a bare nail, which might be the reason its turned out so sloppy. I dont know really. Not impressed. 

Evening NOTD glamour by headline colours.

This is the shade 'glamour' by headline colours and retails for £9 on their website. 

for this look i have applied 2 coats applied over bare nail. Still technically on my royal rampage as gold is a kinda royal color  I got this in my beauteco box, and i was so excited to try it that i had to break my ''royal baby blue'' phrase. 

My first Beauteco box

Today I recieved my first beauteco box. ( check out @ http://beautecobox.co.uk/ ) to get more information. each box is £10 + p& p 

this is very simular to the Latest in beauty box, where you get to see the contents before you buy, so you can see if its a good idea for you or not (but on beautco they have a choice of 3 different boxes) the brief of the box i chose; (box number 2) was '' in this box you'll find products from Neal & Wolf, Pukka Herbs and Art Deco. ''

I Was very impressed for £12.95 including postage I recieved products worth over £45. Also i have never tried anything from any of these ranges before, and i was really excited to try products from Neal and wolf, as i have heard really good things about their hair products. 

I recieved 2 Neal & Wolfe items RRP £22 the both , artdeco eyeshadow base £8 and kaja liner £6.75 & some pukka sample sized products (2 sachets, and a little tube) 

I also got 2 freebies for signing up with a referral code 'FRIENDS07' as it was my first ever box. (a headline colours nail polish rrp £9 and a eves of st agnes body balm rrp £6 , so thats £15 worth of freebies!)

NOTD innisfree 124

This is an indie style Korean polish on top of the opi I wore yesterday, I'm keeping with my baby blue theme until the royal baby is named. i love polishes with bits in.

Notd royal baby blue

Opi mini again from the euro collection (too lazy to find the name, but its one of the 4 minis)to celebrate the new baby prince being born! this is such a lovely shade of blue :D (why opi cant put the shades on minis IDK, its annoying to reference the box and remember what shade your wearing)

Skincare, skincare , skincare!

So it's official, I have too much skincare; just emptying out my massive ''skincare'' drawer, i have hundreds of things (and see my swanky box of sachets i also have, as im fed up of loosing sachets in my box of stuff. Id absolutly hate to think of the combined rrp of all these things; especially my beloved Balance Me & Elemis products. 

Today's NOTD yellow gold!

heres my nails today :) their a mix of an opi mini from the uro collection (im not sure of the shade) and a ciate mini, im making it a mission to use some of these minis ive aquied as they seem to hover to the bottom of my polish box and i never use them!

I had to use 3 coats of the ciate because this is one of those colours that seem to go on like tippex but it looks lovely now their done :)

Nelsons glamour subscription gift!

Heyyyyyy

so there was a deal a while ago to get 3 full sized nelsons items and a 6 month subscription to glamour for a barginistic £6! i've almost forgotton about this as it was about 4 months ago i ordered this sub. but its just arrived. Ive used the face was before, and it is so great! its only about £3 in the shops i think, and well worth picking up. the moustirisor is the same scent as the face wash and feels really nice on, but i havent tried the lip balm yet.

a bath bomb RRP £2

GLOSSYBOX branded faux lashes 

Kiss nail wraps £5.99

Beyonce perfume vial

Vo5 hair spray RRP £3.69


In all im glad that i got 3 full sized items, remember the glossy bag is only £7.95 so this is in my opinion really good value. I'm excited to try out the nail wraps, however please glossybox stop sending the glossybox branded things :( i already have from the main glossy the lipstick and blush  and im really not impressed with the quality. Sorry.

also visit wwww.miss-patisserie.com and recieve a free lip balm when you spend £20 (the bath bomb is from there and it smells gorgeous!) i may have to retreat myself to one as long as im not allergic to it (sensitive skin) 

what do you think of the miss glossybox?

Today's post! 18/7/13

Today I recieved 3 parcels from my lovely postman :)

All 3 were eBay bargain treats for moi! ive recently become a bit disheartened by LUSH, as i feel they have increased so much in price over the years, so ive been on the hunt for new bath bombs. and this gorgeous grapefruit and mandarin 200g bath bomb, is already in 2 halves so you can use it for two baths, so i thought i'd try it. the company had lots of different smells too. 

the iphone case, i fell in love with, its so cute! 

and anyone who knows me well knows im a sucker for my little pony bits and pieces, and this watch was less than £3 including postage. 

iPhone 4S case £4.58

Bath bomb £2.89

My little pony watch £2.63

Today's outfit of the day; primark stripy maxi dress

heya! Quick outfit post today as just running off to do the school run;

Today's outfit is a mix of my primark stripy maxi dress, available from asos at the moment for £10, and my h&m wedge  sandals which I picked up in their online sale last month. Its too hot to think about clothes! so ive gone for a nice simple summery look. Excuse my lack of face, im not wearing any make up yet, so am unsutiable to be seen in society as of yet :)

Also today I'm sporting my asos chronograph rose gold sports watch. Reduced to £21 in their sale this week. (also this week get an extra 10% off asos sale items with the code TAKE10) this is really large, and i really need to remove one of the links, but it makes me feel like i have skinny wrists :D

UK GLOSSYBOX JULY REVIEW

So i against my better judgment have signed back up for the beauty miniture service, Glossybox (who send you 5 beauty miniatures monthly in a nice box for around £12.95 including postage) Usually you get a few full sixzed items too. TBH i'm not a fussy person and as long as my items add up to more than i payed for the box i'm not too unhappy really.


I was a bit gutted to get the dry shampoo though, as most people this month got 2 full size sleek pout paints RRP £4.99 each, instead of the offending £1.59 supermarket item. But the anatomicals & nail polish made the box worthwhile, so i'm not overly annoyed. (plus i resubbed as this months box was seaside themed) Infact ive posted a pic of the box on its own below so you can see how awesome it is.


this month i got;

Ciate full size nail polish RRP £9.95
Inecto Dry shampoo RRP £1.59 
Anatomicals spray RRP £6
and 2 minis.

did you buy glossybox this month? and if so were you happy with the contents?

NOTD speed dial ciate

Hello; just a quick nail of the day update today; this is SPEED DIAL from ciate. I got this shade in my monthly glossybox (and i think these varnishes retail for about £9) its a super lovely orange shade, kinda like the MAC hayley williams one if i remember rightly. 


this is just one coat over illamasqua's base coat (which is one of the best base coats i've tried in my opinion) it applys evenly and doesn't take too long to dry. i have now had this on 2 days and has not started to chip yet. 

In all il give this about a 8/10 

NOTD illamasqua DWS

Super pretty grey from illamasqua called bizarly DWS (im not sure if theres something that stands for and i'm being a bit silly, but i cant quite work it out)
