Barbara Daly Nail Polish Cheeky Cherry Review

  I love trying out new nail polish colours, from bright to dark I adore them all. This Barbara Daly nail polish in the colour 'Cheeky Cherry' is an amazing find!   The nail polish is a gorgeous dark pink-red colour which is perfect for a night out (paired with a deep red or bright red lip) or day time wear in the Winter!  I love the nail polish's consistency and its smooth, easy, streak free application! I was also impressed with the 'drying time', as it was unexpectedly fast!.   I love this nail polish and I recommend that you do get your hands on it!

Maybelline Baby Lips Review

Do you want baby soft lips?   So I wanted to try Maybelline's Baby Lips lip balm as I have heard all the hype on blogs and YouTube and needed to test them out for myself. Maybelline offers six Baby Lips lip balms  in total, three of which are coloured (Pink Punch, Cherry Me, Peach Kiss ) and three colourless ones ( Hydrate, Repair, Mint Fresh ). They all claim to be moisturising and provide 8 hours of hydration. However, I decided to pick up two first, just in case I did not like them, so opted for two of the 'coloured balms' as I would rather have a subtle hint of colour on my lips instead of none. I chose  'Cherry Me' and 'Pink Punch' . LEFT: 'Cherry Me'             RIGHT: 'Pink Punch' Packaging I love the use of bold, bright, eye-catching colours which makes it easy to spot them from other products. I also like the clever font that Maybelline chose to put on their...

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! 

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 ch...
