Sweet Kisses and Decadance

Hi all, so this post will be about a nail combo I've been currently loving. I tend to change my nails about 2-3 times a week, more when I have the time. I've had this No 17 Sweet Kisses for a really long time but I'd forgotten just how much I loved this muted pastel pink.




When in Debenhams I always seemed to end up at the Filthy Gorgeous counter, their colours are gorgeous but sadly their prices aren't exactly cheap. But after having one of the nail technicians test out the Silver 3D Crystal Effect polish on me, I just had to get it. 




From the pic you can't see how sparkly the glitter is. Much better in real life :) Sometimes I find pictures just don't do glitter justice, its just silver glitter, it doesn't have any coloured particles. I do tend to like the silver which emits little bits of colour, but this is just as pretty. 


The result was:


Hope you enjoy!!


Much love

Benefit - Project Flawless





So this is my first ever blog post!! I was unsure what to post for my first one until I purchased this set on Sunday with a little persuasion may I just add. 


I'd wanted the bella bamba for some time, but if I'm honest the price tag had always deterred me. At a hefty £23.50 I would have rather purchased a Nars blush. However I went into the store on Sunday and had a look at their gift sets in the sale. Among the towers of goodies was this set which given what was included was a bargain! All in all I paid £19.50. Included in this gift set was:
- Bella Bamba Blush - Full size
- Ultra shines lipgloss in Foxy Lady - Full size
- Bad gal Lash - Sample size
- Girl meets pearl - Sample size


A good deal me thinks!! :) 


My first impressions on the Bella Bamba - I really love it!! The colour is gorgeous a warm pink with a pearly / golden shimmer through it. Quite a subtle colour that lasts for the whole day, I didn't even need to touch it up after finishing my day at work. It also smells pretty good too!




The Foxy Lady lipgloss is also a gorgeous pink colour with blue sparkles running through it, apparently to make your teeth look extra white! It wasn't initially on my wish list but my Mac Florabundance is nearly finished and I needed a new one. I actually really like this, consistency, colour and it lasts a long time when on your lips.



I wasn't particularly impressed with the Bad gal lash mascara I much prefer my high street ones for every day use, so shall not be buying the full size mascara.


I haven't used tried the Girl Meets Pearl highlighter but once I have, given I think its a must have I will write a review.


While in the Benefit store I smelt the So hooked on Carmella perfume, wooooowww I fell in love I will definitely be purchasing!!


I hope you like my first entry, I will hopefully get better with time!!


Much Love
