New FOTD

I've had a lot of different ideas of what to title this post, lazy day face, new face or everyday face. But it's not exactly something I do when feeling lazy, I don't have an 'everyday' face, so new face it was. My spending ban has been well and truly broken, and I wanted to show you some new products I have. Quite a lot of them have already been reviewed by lots of people so I thought I would just show you them in a FOTD.

So a mixture of old and new products, and I thought I would give a quick review of new products I'm trying:

MUA BB in Light - I bought this because I had read quite a lot of positive things about it, and it was only £3 (such good value!!) It doesn't give me enough coverage to wear it daily by itself, but I love using it as a primer, it really evens out my skin tone, and helps my foundations blend in and look more natural. For a more in-depth review check out Zoe's!

No7 Vital Enlightening Highlighter Powder - I love this product! I am so glad I bought it. It was the last one left and I got it for around £8 I think as I used my No.7 voucher, but would happily pay the £13 for it. It is such a lovely creamy powder, and a gorgeous golden tone to it, rather than a pinky tone that quite a lot of powder highlighters have. Hollie's review is really good!

Maybelline 24 Hour Tattoo - 35 - On and on Bronze - I don't need to say much more than, these bad boys are worth the hype! Check out Lily's review and Sophie's too!

Gosh Eyeliner in 015 Pure Natural - I really like having bright, and awake looking eyes, and find that white liner is slightly too obvious and over powering, and have been looking for a flesh toned liner for a while, I then found this. I really like it, I think it really opens up my eyes and as it's waterproof it stays put all day. That my friends, is what the call 'good times.'

Collection 200 Shimmer Shades - 2. Blushalicious - I had seen Lily blog about the bronzer shimmer shades, and then saw this in Boots, and wanted a shimmery blush for summer, it also looks great underneath my Benefit Hervana blusher to make it pop. It has a simple shimmer to it, and think it will give a lovely flush in the summer. 

So here it is on my face:

MUA BB

Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation

Soap & Glory Trick and Treatment - Under Eyes

Rimmel Hide the Blemish - on Blemishes

Loreal True Match Powder

MUA Eyebrow Pencil

Maybelline Colour Tattoo

MUA Shade 20 eyeshadow - upper lash line

Gosh Eyeliner - Lower Water Line

No.7 Lash Adapt Mascara

Sleek Contour Palette Light - Bronzer as Contour

No.7 Highligther

Collection 2000 Shimer Shades

Belle Lipstick

NOTD - O.P.I !!!!!!

I finally bought my first O.P.I nail varnish. I was so happy when I happened to be just wondering around town and saw a shop with a whole stand of O.P.I nail varnish. How had I never spotted it before? Now I know £10.50 is a lot to spend on nail varnish, and you can get it cheaper on other sites, such as cheapsmells, but I'm a see it, want it type of person. I was drawn to the new collection and choose a gorgeous hot pink call Kiss me on the Tue-lips. I love the name O.P.I give to their polishes and will definitely be adding more of them to my collection.

This did so well with not chipping and you can definitely tell it is worth its money. It was opaque in one coat (the pictures have two,) and lasted at least 3 days with only slight chipping. I must say, O.P.I have won my heart.

Usual base and top coat:

I also experimented trying to do leopard print nails again, here were the results:

Here is what I used:

Save the Nail, No.7 Hot to Trot, O.P.I Kiss me on the Tue-lips, Models Own Mushroom, Sally Hansen Insta Dri, Models Own Nail Art Pen.

What are your favourite O.P.I colours?

NOTD - Leopard Print

Okay, so since I've got my nail art pen, I've been kind of obsessed with playing with it, and thought I'd share with you my latest little 'artwork.' I feel the need to add that I have always been terrible, horrifically so, at art (my art teacher even said so!) I like to think I have the right ideas, and things always look great in my head, then I put pen to paper (or to nail in this case.)

Now I must say that I think I managed to pull off my left hand quite well:

Not perfect, but adequate.

Now we have the right hand:

As you can see it looks like my 2 year old cousin did this, sadly he probably would've done it better. It means that I'm going to have to remove it before my lecture tomorrow (they might place me back in nursery if I don't.) But it also means I can have another play, yay!!!

For the base I used Rimmel's Smokey Canvas (which you can see on its own here.) For the spots I used a mixture of Hot To Trot by No.7 and Models Own Mushroom. For base and top I used my usual (I feel like I'm at a bar. I also feel like I'm using brackets a lot again?)

Do you enjoy messing about with your nail art pen? Also do you have an idiot proof one? I think mine is a little too mature for my skills.
