DIY Greige nails.

I made my own nude grey/brown polish yesterday as I don't already own one. I mixed a basic white polish from Sally Hansen with Barry M's 'mushroom.' I will definitely mix my own colours again as it was really easy and looks very similar to colours I've seen by Essie, O.P.I and Elf.

So far, no chipping what so ever. I really like the colour.

On another note, I am really glad Blogger is back up. I know a lot of us were stressing on Twitter when it went down!

Hope you're all well, see you in my next post <3

Boots Haul

Another Boots haul. After I watched Tanya Burr's video about how to get voluminous hair and seeing other people use them, I really wanted a proper back combing brush. So after I saw that the Denman version was stocked at Boots I went to look for it and came back with a few more things.

This one is called the 'Denman D91 Dressing Out Brush,' I had to go to a couple of Boots stores to find it and it was about £4. It's smaller so it really does backcomb your hair well. I used it Friday night before I went out and it my hair didn't seem to go flat like it usually does by the end of a night out. 

The bristles are quite rough but do the job really well. 

Another rave product I got was the 17 Mirror Shine Lipstick in Beehive. Barbara from ThePersianBabe on YouTube always talks about this lipstick so I wanted to try it out. It is glossy so there's no need to put lipstick on top. The only downside for me is the smell of these lipsticks. I can't describe it really unless you smelt it for yourself. I love the smell of MAC lipsticks as they have a vanilla taste, but this one has a very wierd sort of plastic/ play dough smell :/ The colour is a really, really subtle nude pink, which would suit any skin type. Not sure if I would re purchase, will have to give it more of a chance first. 

This picture isn't really true to colour at all. It's much more of a pink/nude colour. There's a more accurate picture here.

I also got some new Barry M nail paints. I always seem to go back to Barry M after trying other brands of nail polish. In my opinion they last a lot longer and they have a better colour range. Boots is having a 3 for 2 across all make-up at the moment so I got 3 for just under £6. 

R to L: Dusky Mauve, Mushroom & RedBlack

Dusky Mauve is seriously amazing, I know it's kind of sad to be this impressed by a nail polish but I have never seen anything like this one before. I found a review on it here with a picture of it on the nails. I didn't know, but it's apparently a dupe of Chanel's Paradoxal polish. It is a mauve colour but when it hits the light there a purple sheen running through it. I can't wait to put it on. 

I have owned similar colours to Mushroom but they had gone off so I put them in the bin and bought this one. It seems a bit lighter than other's I've owned from different brands which I wanted. I love this colour, it suits summer and winter and always looks classy. 

I picked this one as my 'free' one, I had most of the other colours that they had left in Boots and this one was something I haven't got. On first glance RedBlack looks very dark, almost black but seems red in other lights. Really interested to see what it will look like!

I'm not sure why I bought this. It was only £1.50. It's for sensitive eyes and it's fragrance free so it's good for sensitive skin. I've never tried an eye cream before but I suppose you're never too young to start preventing the wrinkles! I really like it so far, it feels weird after putting it on, sort of a tightening feeling round your eyes but only very slightly. 

And that's about it, I really need to stop shopping but I don't think that's ever going to happen.
