| Poundland - 'Makeup Gallery' | Quick Dry Nail Polish Review


Hello loves, Today I'm going to review some Nail Polishes that I'm really excited about!
Poundland, being the ever growing treasure trove it is has embarked on a new Beauty Range! The range, called 'Makeup Gallery' has a little bit of everything you would expect from a Drugstore stand but it all is available for £1.

For this review i've chosen some of the Nail Varnishes from the range to try out. I've heard people say that they're impressive so I was interested to see what they were offering.

There was a range of about 30 colours including Finishes & Glitter polishes but I chose these two colours:


Latte
A Grey Brown shade, similar to chocolate.


Pink Soda
A really sheer, Natural pink.

These two colours are the ones that got my attention at first, I've wanted to try a taupe color nail polish for some time but never found one and I find it difficult to get a nice shade of pink without it being too peachy.



MOCHA




Mocha took two coats to get full coverage. It glided on really nicely and didn't apply streaky at all. I loved the colour, It was a really nice natural shade quite stone like. 
It dried really quickly & I'd also like to say my mind totally played tricks on me because whilst painting it on I could of sworn I could smell chocolate! HA!

I wore it for two days and It didn't chip until I started doing some fiddly sewing and even then it chipped in places you couldn't notice! result.


PINK SODA



Pink Soda is my favourite of the two by far! Finally I've found my favourite pink nail varnish and for only £1 I couldn't be happier.
Unlike the Mocha shade, this pink is slightly more translucent and takes around 3-4 layers to build up a nice coverage. 
However, once all of the layers are applied and I added a gel top coat from essence @ Wilkinsons, My nails looked Salon worthy!

I literally love this colour so very much it's perfection!

Overall, I would say that Poundland have hit it out of the stadium with these polishes! I'll 100% be purchasing more for my collection and I'm going to buy some of the Makeup too to see if that's any good! 10/10 Poundland, Well done!

Beauty Buys | April 2014 |

I've been shopping!(Surprise) and I picked up a few little Beauty Bits that I'll share!


Orange Pressed Eyeshadow
£12.50
Mac

This is my first ever Mac purchase! How very exciting, I can feel the walls of an expensive addiction building as I type! I want to go and and buy everything else!
I know what you're thinking... A bright Orange eye shadow Josie? It has a purpose! I promise, besides it is a bloomin' good eye shadow for a fiery smoky eye!


Kitsch Ice Cream Zipper Purse
£1.99
H&M

I thought this was so cute when I saw it in the Till Boxes, They just nab you in it's so cheeky! But it was only cheap and it would make a lovely little travel Make-Up bag!


Glitter Manicure Kit
£0.50p
Topshop

I thought this was such a cool little kit and seeing it reduced to 50p meant I couldn't possibly leave it behind!


Halloween Nail Wraps
£0.50p

Again, another sale bargain. I couldn't pass up the excuse to make Halloween and all year round thing! I love Halloween!



Gold Glitter Nail Polish

Final sale product, I can't ignore glitter! I have glitter running through my veins! I spills out of my eyes when I cry!
I LOVE GLITTER!

Drugstore Beauty Buys | February 2014 |

I picked up a few little beauty bits whilst shopping the other weeks, I thought i'd share as that's what Bloggers do.. haha!


In Superdrug I was drawn towards the M.U.A counter, I love it.. and with most things being £1 I can't argue with that!

I chose two nail polishes, M.U.A are so reliable for affordable, sweet colors! And they apply really well. 
Chip-resist factor isn't amazing, however I'm not one to be most dainty with my hands(I fling them about a lot) and I do a lot of construction at college! 



M.U.A Nail Varnish
£1
"Bold Blue"


M.U.A Nail Varnish
£1
"Natural Days"

I took a trip to Savers, another mecca of fabulous and affordable beauty goods. There I was just browsing but I saw these "Burlesque" False Eyelashes and in my mind I screamed "NEED IT".

The first pair are huge and flutterly and The second a thick natural lash. 
I hope to write a little review on how they turned out for me! I'm usually very vocal about how much I love false eyelashes!


Burlesque Beauty Falsies
£1.99
Savers


Burlesque Beauty Falsies
£1.99
Savers


To accompany my lashes I bought a large Eylure Lash Fix as I needed a new one.. I smashed the last during desperation. I don't trust the glues you get with eyelashes to do the trick! I always end up with one side pinging up half way through the night!



Eyelure Lashfix
£2.49
Savers

So it's only a small Haul but I hope you liked having a nose into my drugstore beauty shopping bag!

Ciao
