Collective Haul

Hey everyone, I've recently got some new things to add to my stash so I thought I'd round everything up and show you. You know I love my hauls.

Summer Nail Polish Picks

I thought I would go ahead and do a Summer nail polish pick as I did one for Spring. We've been having what we Britons like to call a heatwave here in the UK, well, it has been hot, and hardly anyone in the UK has AC as we're just not used to this kind of weather! Anyway, here are my picks!

Spring Nail Polish Picks

Topshop Air Kisses - Essie Ballet Slippers - Collection Mint Mojo - Ciate Strawberry Milkshake - Topshop Bees Knees - Essie A Crewed Interest - Barry M Berry Ice Cream

The sun was finally shining today, and I changed my bed covers to my favourite floral ones so I thought I would pick out my Spring nail polish picks. Look at all the Springy cuteness :3 

Unsurprisingly all the colours are soft, pastels but I think they're so pretty and I know I'm going to wear all of these a lot this Spring, if only to brighten up my mood if the sun itself is not shining...

Hope you're having a good day.

February Favourites

Bath and Body Works Carried Away Body Cream- Maybelline Gel Eye Liner - Dr Jart+ Water Fuse BB Cream - ELF Mineral Blush Coral - Essie To Buy Or Not To Buy - Neutrogena Wave

I have been quite unwell this past month so I actually haven't got a lot of beauty favourites. But I do have a few.
 Firstly I have been loving using Bath and Body Works' Body Creams, especially Carried Away. These lotions are so thick and moisturising but they're not greasy at all, and the scent stays on the skin for such a long time.
The Maybelline Gel Eye Liner is so easy to use, it's really black and lasts a decent amount of time. I actually use the brush it comes with which is rare thing for me to do.
I lurrrvee the Dr Jart+ BB Cream, it provides a nice, light coverage and as I've been feeling sicky this month, it's been giving my skin a dewy, healthy complexion.
I have been obsessed with this ELF Mineral blush this month, it is a little messy but I can forgive this flaw as I just really love the blush itself. The blush looks natural on the skin, the colour is so lovely and it actually lasts pretty much all day on my skin which is amazing. I also have the shade Bliss, and I'd love to get some more, and for £5 for a mineral based blush, psshtt who can blame me?
I actually have a nail polish favourite this month, I've had Essie To Buy Or Not To Buy for a while, worn it a few times before but this month I've actually worn this colour for more than a week (le gasp), I rarely ever wear a nail polish for more than four days, but I just really love this colour. It's a pretty lilac with a subtle hint of blue glitter, gorgeous.
The Neutrogena Wave is ah-mazing, why did I take so long to get it? It cleanses my skin so well and leaves it feeling sooo soft. I definitely recommend this for those who don't already have a similar cleanser.

Yup, I have another iPad app addiction... Bubble Mania Seasons. I don't know why, but I love this game. It is so addictive. SO addictive.

Favourite Nail Polishes

I have quite a nice collection of nail polishes, but if I absolutely had to choose my favourites then the following would be the pick of the bunch.

OPI - Golden Eye and Teenage Dream 

Chanel - Peridot

LA Colours - Wired and Hot Blooded

Essie: To Buy Or Not To Buy, Muchi Muchi and Ballet Slippers

Barry M - Grey and Blueberry Ice Cream

Of course there are more polishes that I adore, but if I could only take a limited amount with me to a desert island these would be the lucky ones. 

Hope everyone is having a lovely day!

Life of Pi Premiere - Make Up & Accessories

Firstly, I primed my eyes with elf's eyelid primer, it's not the best, but not the worst. Then I applied shade four in the MUA Undressed palette all over the lid, then used shade eight to create a subtle smokey effect, I also took shade eight along the bottom lash line, I lined my water line with the Rimmel Scandal Eyes pencil, created a thin top liner and flick with L'Oreal's Super Liner, brushed through my eyebrows and filled them in a bit more darker than usual with Rimmel's eye brow pencil. I then applied a bit of white shadow from an elf palette into the inner corners, applied two generous coats of Maybelline's Great Lash mascara after curling my lashes and then concealed my under eyes with YSL's Touche Eclat.

To prime my face I used Benefit's Porefessional, then I applied Mica Bella's mineral powder foundation, I then contoured with Dior's bronzer, I highlighted and contoured my nose with Sleek's Face Form kit in Medium and then applied Benefit's Dallas to the apples of my cheeks.

For lips I used a beautiful, pink Chanel lipstick.

The perfume I used is one of my all time favourites, and something I only like to wear for special occasions or night outs (so...not often ;P ) Thierry Mugler's Alien. It's a musky, deep, heavy scent. I adore his perfumes.

For nails I put on Essie Ballet Slippers, one of my favourite nail polishes. Such a delicate colour.

I love these earrings from Forever 21,  I thought they went really nice with the dress.

I took my beautiful studded clutch from Topshop and I filled it to the brim. Yup. (I can't find the exact one I have, mine has silver studs and cost £40 but the one I linked is basically identical except it has gold studs.)

And here are my 'killer' heels from Office. I didn't fall, guys! That is an accomplishment. I am proud.

I hope you enjoyed this post! To read more about the premiere and to see my outfit click here. I hope you all had a lovely Monday/Tuesday (it's 2.30am, I'm just still so excited and happy so I can't sleep!)
