Avon Haul

My mum has been getting the Avon for so many years now, and it's one of them things where I only really look through the book if I'm a little bored, and I never really get anything, every now and then I get the odd thing and recently decided to pick up some bits. So I have lots of pics to show you and I'll tell you what I got. 
The main reason I picked up the book this time round was because I needed something for my nails, they have always been super thin and lately my hands are in water quite a lot and they have started to peel and split, so I found this peeling and brittleness solver, I have used this once so far and it dries like a sheet of plastic so it became a habit to peel it off, so I am going to try it again but this time leave it alone ha ha, I picked this up for £2.50

As I was in the nail section it was only natural that I looked for a nail color, I can't seem to go anywhere lately without picking up a nail polish ha ha, obsessed much, I found this lovely nude color, from Nail pro+ in 'Naked Truth' and this was £3.00 ..... This will be getting tried and tested and I can't wait ^_^

When I was on the same page I noticed this gold glitter color, and it looked really nice and I would wear it maybe over a statement color on my ring finger maybe, I will def be trying this one out soon too ..... This was also £3.00 

 I have never used a lip crayon before so I picked one out on a whim and the one I picked out is .... Irresistibly sexy sultry lip pencil ..... wow that's a long name for a lip pencil ha ha, I am all for nudes so I picked out 'Naturally Naked' maybe next time I am going out for the day and getting food I will wear this and I can do a review / first impressions ..... This cost me £3.50 which is fine if I don't like it and never use it again, but time will tell.
I thought I best pick up a lipstick in case the lip pencil went all wrong and so I wouldn't be upset 'ha ha' *wink wink* I am getting almost the same with lipsticks as I am with nail polishes, and blusher isn't far behind either ha, so I went for the new Ultra Color Absolute Lipstick .... I got mine in 'Tea Rose' which is a lovely pink-y brown shade just a bit more color than a nude. This was £5.00 which I think is amazing for a decent lipstick.


Then my Avon lady sent two freebies ^_^ yay .... Thank you Avon lady .... she sent a lovely lipstick in the shade 'Knock Out Pink' And a beautiful lip gloss from 'Irresistibly Sexy Lip Gloss' in the shade 'Undressed Nude' 

I am so happy with all my products and the two free products, I will defiantly be picking up some other stuff from Avon in the future.

Do you use Avon ?? What are your favourite products ?? 
I hope you like this post and feel free to leave your comments I love to read them all and reply. 

Much Love,

Leighton Denny - Nail Polish

I love this Leighton Denny nail polish, this is my first one and I have actually never heard of this brand before, I got sent it in my February Birch Box, My first thought was 'OOhhh lovely' my 'OMG I got a nail polish' sirens went off and I was super happy!! When I first applied the polish I didn't think I would like it, it went on really thin and a little bit watery and looked streaky, So my second thought was 'Oh no, they spent more time on the packaging' ....... but after a second coat I went straight back to my first thought ha ha, The second coat just made it perfect it dries really quick which is amazing for me as I always smudge my nails and it has a lovely shin to it. I don't have a colour like this in my collection as it isn't a colour I would normally pick up, the only blue shade I have is a pastel colour which I love for spring/summer, so it is really nice to have this, it is a little brighter than in the pictures, and I love it, I will be wearing this a lot in the summer as right now I am loving nudes. 
You can buy this from Leightondenny.com for £11.00 or from the Birch Box shop. The shade I got was Blue Lagoon. 

Have you ever tried Leighton Denny ?? 
Whats your favourite shade ?? 
If you would like to know more about what I got in my Birch box please leave a comment!!

Mini Nail Polish Haul.

Hey Guys, 
    So I went to visit my old work friends today, I worked with them for almost 7 years and I left in January just gone, so I went to visit and while I was out I decided to call into my local Superdrug and I ended up buying a few lip and nail products, I have decided today to show you the nail products I bought and I have already tried out one of the polishes so I will tell you a little bit about that too. 

                                              These are the nail polishes I bought.






So first up I went to the Maybelline stand and I picked up two of the Color Show polish the first one I picked up was the lightest one which is '130 Winter Baby' it is a really nice pale white that going to look amazing in the summer when I have a tan, but I couldnt resist and I had to try it out ^_^
It is a really nice consistency and it's not to runny at all, you need at least two coats to get a good color on the nail but if you are not a pro like I'm not then I think three light coats is best as it can look a little streaky, this was priced at £2.99 and I think it is well worth the money. 

Still on Maybelline I picked out another Color Show polish this time in '46 Sugar Crystals' this one I love it reminds me of glittery champagne, I would recommend wearing this color on top of a block color, but I have not yet tried it on its own so when I do I will let you know for sure.......

It is very hard to tell but I tried my best to get a good picture, I have a really nice glitter effect on my ring finger and I think you can just about see the difference from my little finger. this was also priced at £2.99 and i think it is a bargain if you want to add some cute glitter to any nail polish. 

Next I went over the Barry M stand and I really do love Barry M nail polishes, I have a couple already as I just love doing my nail but I do need a little be more practise as I tend to rush and it sometimes looks messy haha, So from Barry M I bought the Gelly High Shine Nail Paint in 'GNP 13 papaya 334' this is a really nice peachy coral color and I love it, I much prefer summer nail colors than winter ones and this may just be my new favourite ^_^
I will do a swatch and show/ Nail polish collection if that it something you want to see, This was priced at £3.99 a price you cant really argue with ^_^ 


Then as I ran out of a base coat a really long time ago I thought I best get a new one and while I was there I also got a top coat just for the fun of it lol, I got these from Collection 2000 and the base coat is a 2 in 1 base coat and ridge filler and it say it smooths and protects and I tried it under my 'Winter Baby' and it was really nice it felt really smooth and I think if you are working somewhere were you are not aloud nail polish for work then this alone with a top coat makes you own nails look really nice, These were also both priced at £2.99 

So basically I love nail polishes I think having a good manicure can make anyone look lovely and I love the look of clean polished neat nails, I really want to try Tanya Burr's nail collection so I think another little haul is in store over the next few weeks. 

Thanks for reading please leave your comments as all feedback is welcome. ^_^
