The only rain drops to love... Illamasqua rain drops!

I have been umming and ahhing over purchasing Illamasqua's "Raindrops" Nail varnish since it first hit the shelves in it's original blue shade.
I finally took the plunge but went for the new "Pink Raindrops" shade as I love a good pink (typical girl).

My verdict? I LOVE this nail polish so much! At £13.50 it is a tad on the pricey side but it is worth the splurge!!! It is super hard to chip it and has a beautiful almost professional looking finish and the actual shade is the prettiest most beautiful nude pink with a slight shimmer!







Do you love rain drops too?? In the nail polish sense of course.... let me know in a comment below!

ILLAMASQUA Online Sale Haul

As the Illamasqua online sale comes to an end today I thought I'd better speedily write my reviews up so you guys can see what an amazing sale they have!

I have never bought anything from Illamasqua before but as their sale looked so fantastic I thought it'd be rude not to, right?

Firstly I love Illamasqua's brand and packaging! Their ethos 'Make Up for your alter ego' is so unique it makes you want to experiment with colour more!

So I'll tell you what I got (with so many items it was difficult to decide) and do a quick review!

Blending Brush #2 - £10 - This brush is my new fave! It is the perfect size for blending eyeshadow, concealer or cheek products! It is lovely and soft and feels amazing on the skin!

Under eye Concealer in 105 - £5 -This is a white concealer with pink undertones, I am quite pale so this is perfect for me even though it looks bright! It blends perfectly and I'll probably mix it with foundation if I've hit the fake tan! They do lots of other shades and its a lovely texture!

Lipgloss in Artifice - £5 - I'm very impressed with this! It's a pretty beautiful nude pink colour and lasts on the lips for ages! The swatch doesn't do it justice!

Liquid Metal in Stoic - £5 - This is a cream pigment which blends amazingly! Can apply easily with a finger on its own or with a brush with other shades! You can build up the intensity as well for a more dramatic look!

Nail Varnish in Stagnate - £5 - I've found my new favourite nail brand! This grey mushroom colour looks great for a simple flash of sophistication to your look! Very wearable and lasts for days!

All in all I love my purchases! They were all half price or even less so it really is a steal!! With free delivery on orders over £35 as well you can't go wrong!! I also ordered a loose pigment to make it up to the £35 but that hasn't come yet.

Illamasqua I love you! Have you tried any of their products? What's your favourite?

Christmas Sparkle

The lights are up in town, Christmas songs are playing on the radio, the tree is up and the countdown to Christmas has begun! I LOVE this time of year! From wrapping up warm to wrapping up presents, I am feeling festive!
So when I saw this red sparkley nail polish in Topshop I had to give myself a festive manicure. I love the range of nail polishes Topshop have! They have every colour and shade you could want and have a lovely formula which lasts a while! I think it's my fave brand of nail polish!
