So firstly i love the tin.
its very glamourous a decadent for what is if where honest just petroleum jelly.
secondly this product absoloutly stinks ! it smells of roses, i dont like rose sented products at the best of times but this is more of a sour rose smell! i really do not like the smell.
i dont think it tints the lips at all and it tastes the same as it smells. its bitter and perfumy.
i searched high and low for this product so that maybe why im extra dissapointed with it and as for it higher price than its sister at £3.99 i really did expect more.
Thank god its limited addition i wont be repurchasing it.

O.P.I NAIL ENVY.
After years of acrylic abuse my nails are pretty weak.
ive started using nail envy and ive really noticed a difference in the strength and peeling of my nails.
1. They no longer peel
2. They have really strengthened up.
so now its just a case of waiting for them to grow (sighhh)

It can be applied under and over nail varnish.
but it is recommended the first layer be on bare nail then applied daily for 5 days
wipe of and start again.
in the picture i am wearing my fav o.p.i red - the thrill of brazil
its a gorgeous classic red cream and is my go to red of my whole collection
i really recommend nail envy with anyone suffering from weak nails.

THE ORIGINAL in bubblegum pink - £10.20 Inc VAT
THE FLOWERPOT - £13.20 Inc VAT
THE FLOWERPOT comes with a cute pot base to store hairbands and boobypins.
purchase these from boots , sallys , and there own website www.tangleteezer.com
Next i have my xxl hair bun donut.
it is from the website www.velcrosleeprollers.com and retails at 16.00 it is by sleepin rollers.
its huge the biggest one ive found and looks so glamourous in! you really need quite long hair for this bun as its so large but they do other sizes.
i love it for days i need to run out the door it takes a few minutes to put in and instantly gives u a sleek groomed glamourous look, this saves me so much time , its started to become abit lose and ungathered but i really have used it alot i will definatley repurchase this baby.
SECHE VITE!!
im sure everyone is familiar with this product but incase not here goes..
this is a super fast drying clear topcoat.
it is the glossiest topcoat ive found to date, so shinny and dries your varnish in record speed .
it can be applied over wet varnish and dries in minutes.
all i can say about this is i love it.
buy from www.beautybay.co.uk retails at 8.99
and lastly benefit porefessional this is £23.50 so a little pricey but definatley worth it.
ive had trouble finding a good primer that doesnt break me out or make me shiny after a few hours!
i love it it smooth out any fine lines or large pores i have and really give my makeup staying power
it isnt to heavily sented and it doesnt break me out at all.
i will be repurchasing this when i run out.
so thats my current cant live withouts.

W7 glitters
I was recently looking for a solid silver glitter and couldnt find one in any of the highend brand collections they all seemed to be silver rainbow or holo glitter.
I went into a small shop called just essential in ipswich suffolk and found they had a huge range of budget nail polishs.
the W7 polishs immediately caught my eye as i have tried this range befor and was pleasently surprised.
I saw they had some glitters and as they are only £1.99 i decided to buy the four colours they had instock (i believe there are several more) and I AM IN LOVE WITH THEM ALL!!!!
The names are:
red dazzle - bright red with blue undertones
mulit dazzle- gorgeous multi glitter with blue green gold magenta red large glitters
gold dazzle - classice gold glitter
silver dazzle - classic silver glitter
here are the swatchs each are 2 coats of each polish alone and one of essie licourice with 2 coats of multi dazzel (my favourite combo it reminds me of fireworks)
As you can see they dont need a base colour but if you wish to you can,
and as for a glitter they arnt to bad to get off. the multi glitter is the hardest out of the 4 colour to remove.
i love these glitters and at £1.99 i think they are amazing , i love the opi esque bottle and they have a good quality brush for a low end product they dry quickly and are very smooth on the nail.
i believe just essential and peacocks sell these on the highstreet and there are plenty of stockist on the net.
all in all amazing product i hope to hunt down the other colours for my collection

Jeffrey CampbelL Lita platform ankle boot
Here is a quick review on my new jeffrey campbell litas!!
ive been wanting these for a while but my size always seemed to be out of stock.
i finally got my hands on them while on a shopping trip with my mum in lakeside essex.
i purchased them from office for £150.00
They are in the colour taupe, the heel height is 13cms and a platform height of 5cms
they are suede so i purchased a protector as they are light and i didnt want them getting ruined.
ive heard these run half a size big but i find mine to fit perfectly and be true to size, i suppose it really does depend on your feeties.
These really are the comfiest platforms i own, i can walk in them all day and not get sore calfs or feet.
They are made so well i really have nothing bad to say about the litas! the spikes are heavy and sharp and the shoe is super light and not heavy or bulky. i no there are alot of copies out there but i really would recommend saving up and purchasing jeffrey campbells they really are worth the money.

OPI THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN
So with loads of help from my fabulous friend sue i have finally got my blog up and running!! yeyyy.
to kick start it im going to do a review on O.P.I THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN!.
This topcoat is part of the skyfall series for the new james bond film released here in the uk on the 26th of october (ahh daniel craig!! que swoon) by O.P.I .
There are also 12 polishes that accompany this topcoat.
The desription of this polish is:
REAL 18K GOLD TOPCOAT..
i would say this polish is definatley just a topcoat it can be used alone but it looks much better if used over a colour in my opinion.
It has 18k gold flakes suspended in a clear base!

Well first of all well done opi this topcoat is absoloutly beautiful. however i tried to take a picture i really couldnt pick up quite how gorgeous and shimmery the gold flakes really are ..
im so glad i gave into my need for anything new because most of the swatches i have seen of this really didnt do it justice..
the only downside is it is quite gloopy so you need some patience when applying it if you dont wait for it to dry abit between coats it can drag off but it is very buildable and looks beautifull with one coat or five..
without a dout one to have for any nail polish lover.
i believe this is retailing at £29.99 there are some on ebay aswell but they are pretty expensive so id grab one while you can guys it really is beautiful and worth having in your collection..
Here are a few swatches over colour combos i like , each with 2 coats of THE MAN WITH THE
GOLDEN GUN.
PINK - ESSIE CASTAWAY
TURQUOISE - CHINA GLAZE FOR AUDREY
RED - CHANEL LOTUS ROUGE
BLACK - ESSIE LIQUORICE
hope this post helped for anyone who is thinking of investing
