Has anyone checked out the Barry M section in Superdrug lately? I swear by this make on most of their products!
So some of their latest products have really intrigued me!
Firstly their lipsticks...
At first I tried their number 147 and I'm going to be honest... I was shocked at how bad it was! So the range is called 'Lip Paint' but that doesn't mean it should look like I've literally painted my lips with some thick acrylic paint!
My expectations had lowered considerably for Barry M and I thought that imma have to look around for a better make... but then a friend asked me to buy her some Lip paints because she was unable to get it where she is. For reasons I'm not going to go into, she didn't want them anymore and so I kept them. The colours were 100 and 153. 100 being a really light baby pink
and 153 being a bright pinky/corally colour.
I tried them out and the constancy was the same... but hold the phone... this time i actually rubbed it in with my finger and guess what... It looked good!
So with my faith restored I went back to Superdrug and found this absolute treasure...
It's Barry M's TMLP... A green looking lipstick which, when applied, changes to a gorgeous pink which gets matures and becomes darker as the day goes on! It continues to confuse and shock people but the end result is always the same... they are amazed by the stunning pink thats left on your lips.
The consistency is different to the lip paint as it is thinner and lighter, which to me is even better!
Barry M (to me anyway) seems to be the company that invent the latest nail miracles! They were the first company I saw that did 'Crackle',
they've now come out with a metallic nail varnish, which when a magnet is hovered over, changes the design to an amazing stripy pattern!
I'l admit that the colour choices are limited at the moment but I'm sure they will come out with more if the product becomes as popular as the Crackle did!
Another product is the Chameleon. Now I won't lie that although what the product does is amazing, it doesn't give that easy to apply, instant design.
The idea is that you apply one of the colours to your nails (lets say a purple), you then apply a top coat to it and the colour magically changes to another colour! Cool right? So skilled nail artists can use this to create stripes and dots and all sorts of two toned designs, but for those that are more lazy, the magic of this product won't be know to others because they won't know it was once another colour unless you tell them!
If you would like me to do some videos on these products in action then leave a comment below :)
Have a great day! xx

Au Revoir Exams!
So I'm finally finished my exams!
It feels soooo good! I wake up in the morning and can actually not care what the time is or have to plan my day around revision!
So now i have plenty of time for blogging and youtube! Sooo many ideas, so little time!
I know I said last time that I was going to do some nail tips videos, and I will! But with the nice weather coming and seeing as I've recently bought a few new items, I kinda wanna start doing Outfit of the day videos... Whatcha think?
Another plan is... once I get paid I am planning to go to Sally's. I want to try out some of the OPI nail gel and see if its worth it or whether just buying a job lot of Bio Sculpture equipment would be better? We shall see and I will keep you posted!
Also I want to make a video on DIY maxi dresses... I love this current fashion and when the weather gets really hot or people go on holiday this will defo be an item they will reach for! So to make your own will not only be cheaper but it also ensures you get the exact right size for your individual body shape!
I finally uploaded the DIY earrings video and currently have no views... great! I knew getting views on Youtube would be hard but to have no views is a bit of a bummer!
Oh well, never mind!
Hope you are all well xx

New Idea... Whatcha think?
So my exams are nearly over, I'm going to have plenty of free time in my hands and part I that time I wish to devote to my blog and YouTube :) I hope to share my love of nail designs and beauty tricks with you lovely lot :)
So this new idea of mine is to do more nail designs, mainly focusing on designs that base around the tip! So not just French manicure but actual French tips!
Or go wild with these animal tips!
How about getting a little cheeky with cheater print!
These animalistic ideas were originated from one of my favourite beauty gurus, 'cute polish'. She's brilliant at what she does and makes it so easy for others to copy, so with this as inspiration I hope to do the same with my own designs! Up next for my first of the series of tip nails will be a dainty daisy design :) Keep and eye out for it and subscribe to my YouTube channel!
