Collection Lasting Gel Colour Nail Varnish Review

I was in Boots the other day just casually browsing the makeup aisles (whilst I let my mum have all the fun shopping for a baking tray!). I noticed that they had a '2 for £5' offer on the Collection Lasting Gel Colour Nail Varnish.

Now my nails were not in the best of shape (a little warning for the photo to come!) but I really wanted to try a gel nail varnish.

I decided to pick up two nail varnishes; one a pretty, coral-salmon colour (called Watermelon 6) that was screaming to be in my nail varnish collection and a glossy clear varnish (called Crystal Clear 1).

I haven't tried the clear varnish yet but I presume it will be just as good as the Watermelon one. I love the 'easy wide brush' applicator as it makes applying a coat of nail varnish so, well easy!

Pros:

the nail varnishes come in a variety of colours

great gel consistency

amazing long lasting shine

wide brush applicator

good chip-resistance

Cons:

normal price is £3.19! (wish it was 2 for £5 all the time!)

How it looks on my left hand :)

End thoughts...

I love this nail varnish and it's gel technology and wish to purchase more in the future! I would definitely recommend this for people who haven't tried a gel nail varnish and want to try one before splashing out on a high end one.

Available in Boots and Superdrug stores as well as online. Quick get in before the offer goes! :)

Determine your skin's undertone

Determining your skin's undertone is not as difficult as you might think. When you know what your skin's undertone is, it becomes so easy to pick up the right shade of foundation as well as knowing which lipstick shades/tones will compliment your more. You will be much better off knowing your undertone. The three types of skin undertones are cool, warm and neutral. There are many different ways that can be used to determine your undertone. I have found that the most effective way of determining your skin's u ndertone is by looking at the colour of your veins on the inside of your wrists. This post will show you how to find out which undertone you have! Cool undertones Your wrist veins appear blue/purple in natural lighting You can burn easily in the sun Colours that flatter you are: red, navy blue, hot pink, plums, black and soft pastel colours If you have a cool undertone your skin will have more of a 'pinkish or blue' tone to it. Think Emma Stone,

L'Oreal Colour Riche 373 Magnetic Coral Lipstick Review

I went out shopping the other day and I was casually browsing the makeup aisles and I came across this lipstick. I used the tester to swatch and I was blown away by both the colour and it's creamy texture. I absouletly love the colour of this lipstick, which is a beautiful coral shade and is very pigmented. The packaging is sleek and modern, and the use of the gold exterior gives this lipstick a high-end feel. This lipstick is very moisturising and glides on so easy without clinging to the slightly dry parts of my lips. I am not surprised that this lipstick is so moisturising as L'Oreal state that all the lipsticks in their Colour Riche selection are 'enriched with a combination of Omega-3 and Vitamin E and leaves your lips feeling moisturised'.

Coca Cola Cherry Lip Smacker Review

Amazing smell! Since secondary school (I'm now 21) I have been using my trusted Coco Cola Cherry Lip Balm! I honestly don't know where I would be without it! It used to be £1 at Primark (I stocked up!) now I can never seem to find it there, which is a shame. However, it can be found in Tesco but at £2.50. Why I love this lip balm? it has a red hint of colour it is hydrating, especially in the Winter months it also has the most amazing cherry smell, which does in fact smell like Coco Cola Cherry! Although it doesn't taste like it though! (Don't worry, I don't go round eating lip balms!). Swatch Coco Cola Cherry Lip Smacker- single swatch If you can get your hands on this get it! You will not be disappointed, let me know if you do. I would love to hear if you love this as much as I do! Available online in a set of 6 (including other 'flavours') for £9.99!
