Photographical Wednesday




Oh I do like to be beside the seaside.   Boo UK weather lately ! L

On wednesday's we wear pink !


Today I have a lovely pink nail polish to show you it is Rimmel's rose libertine. 

Formula wise, there isn't an awful lot to say.  It dried really quickly and it was opaque in two coats.

Barry M Blueberry Ice Cream


Blueberry Ice Cream is part of the permanent nail polish range from Barry M.  It is a pastel pale blue which also manages to have a tiny bit of brightness.

The formula is amazing as it is opaque in one coat but I put 2 coats on by force of habit.

Sorry about the really bad clean-up of the nails but I was in a rush.

Overall for £2.99 you can't go wrong with this polish

Shades of couture ~ Juicy couture


Hello everyone, I hope you are having a wonderful Monday.  If you are living in the UK you might have noticed the lack of sunshine, frankly it has been MISERABLE.  I went on holiday in May to Greece and it gave me an excuse to splurge and buy these lovely sunglasses.

I bought them in asos but I just checked their website and they are no longer available :(.

I think they are very good quality and will serve me well for ages.


I also must say that asos are the absolute best at delivering and it came by the end of the week.

Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection concealer

Another day, another review.  I'm on a roll aren't I?  Anyway today's review is for Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection concealer which is said to be many bloggers Holy Grail concealer.  Well I finally tried it and its now mine too!





It comes in 4 shades I chose medium 3 and it cost £4.19. I think this is the best price I have ever seen for a concealer that performs so well!

I used to steer clear of the collection 2000 stand (judging a book by its cover, I know) as the products used to look really tacky but thankfully this concealer is just a simple tube which has black printed writing on it * the writing will rub off after frequent use, my pictures were taken when I first bought it so that's why it looks nice and new *

What I like about the concealer is that it is soft and creamy but easy to blend, I also like how the wand inside gives the right amount of concealer rather than too much or too little.  It is amazing for hiding redness especially around the nose and is really good for minimizing dark circles around the eyes.  I've heard many people liken it to a certain YSL touché éclat (please tell me I’m not the only one who adopts a bad French accent when saying that) but alas I have never tried it so I cannot make a comparison.


Overall it is a great bargainous concealer worth every penny.  A must have if you ask me!
