Beauty | Sinful Colors Cotton Candy

Sinful Colors is starting to become a well recognised brand which are becoming very popular amongst the beauty industry and blogging community. As far as I'm aware, the best place to purchase Sinful Colors nail polishes apart from their website, is Boots. I'm going to keep this review short and sweet because I could go on forever with my reasons as to why I love this brand.

As you can see from the pictures above I chose Cotton Candy which is a gorgeous, bright, bubblegum pink. It has been my most go to colour this summer. I've even put aside my usual Barry M Gelly Hi Shines. That is how much I love this colour!

The polishes are easy to apply, are very bold and have great lasting power. I have found that these polishes can last up to a week before chipping, and even then; it's only little chips at the tip of the nail. If you have the time to give yourself a good manicure then do it as the rewards will be in your favour by not having chipped nails and not having to keep touching up. I'm currently on day 6 and have only just touched up the tips on 4 of my fingers! What more could you possibly want from a nail polish?!

Finally, the thing which I love the most about this brand is that they have such a huge collection and variety of colours. The polishes also come in 5 different finishes including matte, cream, shimmer, pearl and glitter. There's something there for everyone, especially when they only retail at £1.99. They are one of the best highstreet Nail brands I have ever come across and I'm definitely going back for more!

Happy Monday bloggers, today's been a beautiful day, even though some of us had work. It was lovely to walk home in the sunshine. At the weekend I made a few cheeky purchases. However, I have been rather good recently and not brought anything, and I thought I'd treat myself to one of the things off my wishlist which was the Fudge Urban Sea Salt. I didn't intend to come back with 5 things...

I've been wanting to try Sea Salts for a while, even though I do have naturally beachy curls already, I just wanted something to emphasise them and I'd read a good review on the Fudge range. The Fudge range is currently on offer in Superdrug for 'better than half price' so when I saw that they had a Mousse and Hairspray which I'm running low on I snapped them up too. From the prices above you can see that they're total bargains, and that I saved lots of pennies! Both the Hairspray and Mousse are Raspberry and Vanilla scented too which is heavenly!

Finally, yup, that's me, a follower, and not always a leader. However, I would just like the to state that I am not a huge 1D fan, I only learnt who was who the other day and I think that only some of their music is okay, sorry to any 1D fan girls out there, they're just not my cup of tea. However, I am a huge MUA fan and have to buy all of their latest products, although I didn't go too crazy with the 1D range and didn't buy every colour just because it was by them. No, I was rather respectable and only brought two gorgeous coloured lipsticks. And it is only through writing this post that I have found which lipstick is by what band member, - I'm terrible! When swatching these in the shop they were gorgeous and I definitely want to try out their Lip Polish too if it's anything else like the Love Hearts range, other than that I wasn't too keen on the rest. I also disliked the fact that MUA hiked their prices up a little just because it's One Direction, what was wrong with charging the usual £1.00 for a Lipstick?

Beauty | Barry M Lipstick 146

Sorry, it had to be an iPhone selfie!

I am currently loving Barry M! In April I reviewed their lipstick in shade 140 which was a gorgeous glitter pink and seemed popular with my readers and with family and friends. Which then lead to me buying this beauty. Once I find something I like, I have to have it in all the colours. So this is the start of a beautiful Barry M Lipstick collection!...

Unfortunately Barry M didn't come up with very inventive names for their lipsticks and named them purely after numbers. However, I love their packaging so they score points for that. It's a very original, sleek and sophisticated packaging which I love. Yes, gimmicks can be fun, but sometimes they're too tacky and over powering. So call me boring, but I love their sleek look.

146, is a vibrant pink, yet again, a girl can never own too many! However, upon application it has more blue tonnes than I realised and expected, leaving me with a lovely fuchsia pink - not complaining! Some people say that they don't suit certain colours of they believe that certain colours don't suit certain skin colourings, but I believe that if you like it, then you wear it! No one has the right to say what does and doesn't work for you. What I love most about this lipstick is how creamy and moisturising it is along with the great pigmentation. I often suffer with dry lips, but with 146 I never worry, plus there are always lip balms on standby!

Finally, the last thing with Barry M got so right was the price. Each lipstick costs £4.49. What a bargain?! That's easily affordable to own one of each colour! I love this brand and find it hard to fault!

How do you rate Barry M?!
