Maybelline | Color Show Crystallize Polish Review

Today I'm reviewing Maybelline's Color show crystallize polish.

Colour - Nearly Black

 Color Show was part of my May Glossy box, I love trying out new polish and was excited when i saw the colour of this one. In the photo below i have used two coats but the photo does not do this polish justice. The finish is what i can only describe as a really fine glittery sand & it sets matte. I did try it with a top coat as well which added a bit of a shine but personally i prefer it without.

I know i probably say this about every pretty nail polish I have but I think this one might be my new favourite. It's just different & dark colours always win me over. You really need to try this one yourself!

Buy Color Show at Boots for £3.99 (even better if its in the 3 for 2 offer)

Any favourites you have that i should add to my forever growing collection?

Beauty UK Lipstick - Plumalicious - Review

Today's mission was to find the perfect purple lipstick on a budget.

As you can see....this is not easy when on a 45 minute lunch break and so many brands to chose from! Personally I don't think myself and Beauties Unlocked swatched enough colours hahaha.

The colour I wanted it to be close to is Rebel by Mac. After a quick search online before we set off I decided it had to be Black Cherry by Revlon for £7.49. Unfortunately when I got to Superdrug, that was the only colour sold out....typical.

Finally we stumbled upon two, one was by Rimmel - Dark Knight Waterl-oops! which was £6.49 and the other by Beauty UK - Plumalicious £3.49

I decided on Beauty UK as they were the cheaper option and I was intrigued as to how the budget brands compare the lipsticks I already own.

The colour is just what I wanted, a deep rich purple/red. It lasted throughout my dinnertime meal without the need to reapply however it isn't a matte finish which I would prefer but I can't complain. A quick tissue blot and the shine is removed. A bonus feature of the product is that on the top of the lid is a small pot of lipstick which could be used either with your finger (messy with this colour though I imagine) or with a lip brush. This idea is also brilliant for picking out colours without having to remove every lipstick from the shelf to check you've got the right shade.

Anyone else have any amazing bargain buys??

The Body Shop Banana shampoo & conditioner review - With a little help from Tobias

Today I'd like to share my review of The Body Shop's Banana shampoo & conditioner which is one of my favourite products, and Tobias decided to help me :) 

Cute eh? Haha!

I am constantly on the look out for products that will help with my dry curly hair without having lots of ingredients that will build up in my hair. As well as it smelling absolutely gorgeous a little goes a long way, both products retail for £4.50 a bottle & usually last me around a month if not more. I have had loads to get through as friends & family bought me about 5 bottles for my birthday & Christmas which has been brilliant.

After using these my hair feels soft and nourished and smells amazing.
