Tiny Weeny Haul

Hardly been able to do proper blog posts lately as i have so much school work at the moment, however yesterday i went on a little trip to town to pick up some jeans and some of those lovely primark crop tops that everyone has been buying, but once again my primark was full and it seemed they had every size in the world but mine, which was annoying but oh well, what can you do..
So yeah that's all i bought, the jeans are from H&M and are like really good quality for the price much better than primark ones hehe £14.99, the t-shirt is from Primark and was only £4.00 and has a lovely crochet detail on the back and front, then I bought the MUA Undressed palette for a measly £4.00.

Also i would just like to add that, it was so sad to hear about all those people dying in that factory in Bangladesh and i cant understand how anyone could ignore the warnings but nothing can be done now, I hope all there dear families finally find their family members so that they can see them for the last time before they grieve for them:( poor things...

Just a quick nail art post, Flamingo Nails.

So i went back to school this week unfortunately so you may see that i haven't posted much and i probably will only be posting Once or Twice a week, also lately i dont know what to post im idea-less so comment below some ideas pleasee.
So on to the actual post, i saw a photo on Google images the other day of some flamingo nails and thought they looked cute so i tried them out, im sorry i cant remember who did them:( The idea is quite clever really and looks really effective but it is actually extremely simple. I absolutely love this look and think it would be great if you try it out too.
For the background colour i used essie Bikini So Teeny, and for the flamingo i used 17 baked cherry and 17 Royal rose(:
Hope you liked the post and stay tuned for more.

Rimmel Apocalips Review

So i recently bought the 'new' rimmel Apocalips lip lacquer, i've been trying this out quite a lot recently including during the day and in the evening also. For anyone who has not heard of this product it is said to have all the pigmentation of a lipstick but still be glossy like a lip gloss without that sticky feeling you get when wearing a lip gloss sometimes. The Overall product is very thick but still manageable. I also quite like the applicator as you only really need one dip into the pot as it gives you enough of the product. They also come in a variety of different colours from pinks to reds, to oranges and nudes. They do however have a distinct smell, but that does not put me off these at all, i mean come on i bought this lip product for my lips not to eat or spread on my body haha. The lip lacquer also stays on the lips for around 5-6 hours i find which is a very respectable, Overall i would recommend these to anyone as there is a colour to suit everyone in the range and the price is super affordable ( boots are selling them for £4.99 at the moment instead of the usual price of £5.99 here) get them while you can. i bought mine in a lovely peachy orange shade named luna which is lovely and i really want to get the colour Celestrial.

Small Beauty Haul

Yesterday i went to boots, to check out their 3 for 2 offer and also to buy some of the new sinful colours nail polish however we did not go to the boots in town so the boots we went too hadn't got it stocked yet so that was poop..
Also my internet connection is so dodgy at the moment so sorry for lack of posts and stuff, so lets get on with the haul.
So i've never tried the brand 'Natural Collection' before so i thought i would try some bits out as i've heard good reviews on some of their products. I also really wanted to try the new Rimmel Apocalips as they're new and i've seen this swatched before and thought it looked quite interesting. 
 I bought this blush in the colour peach melba, it is a gorgeous peachy orange colour that would look lovely in the summer with a tan and a peach lip colour.
 I bought this product on a whim as my lasting perfection concealer is running out so i thought i would try this one out as it is a lot cheaper.
The next product i bought was an eyeshaddow duo in Mocha/latte, originally i was going to use these as eyeshaddows as they are extremely pigmented however i found out recently that they are great for filling in eyebrows and the other colour as a highlight which is a bonus.
The last product i bought was the rimmel Apocalips lip colour in the shade Luna, i absolutely love this peachy shade as i think it really suits my skin tone i also think it applys really good, i may do a review of this later,however at the moment in boots they are doing a pound off so get it while you can.

 So that was my haul hope you liked it, Also i may be posting less frequently as i am going on holiday monday-friday this week to a lovely beach called golden sands in england which will be good as i am in need of a good family holiday.
 Bye See you in my next post Amy xx

Also sorry about my hair, it was extremely annoying this morning with all the wind, which is why i have a bun head ( i give you permission to laugh okay..) Once again like in my last outfit post im wearing my trusty Joni jeans and vans combo.


I've chopped my head out of all of them hehe, so i wore a loose fitted jumper from primark tucked into my jeans, and as it is super cold and windy today im wearing a h&m leather jacket and my primark scarf that i showed in my previous haul. Hope you liked my outfit, also i will be going on holiday next week so i may do some holiday related posts before i go as there will be no WiFi (sad face) :(

The Wah nails book of nail art review.

A bit of a different type of review today, as today the review is about a book. The book is called The Wah Book of Nail Art, and was written by an inspirational woman called Sharmadean Reid. This book includes not only nail art designs but how she created her business and all the tough processes she had to go through, to get where she is today. Which in my eyes is extremely breathtaking. To date Sharmadean has tons of salons around London which are all equally fantastic. Now onto the review.


This book includes 25 nail art projects with step by step instruction and picture tutorials. There are also 100 nail art designs to copy from the pictures. Also on the opposite page of each of the designs there is a wah girl demonstrating how they should look, they also have a brief paragraph telling you about there funniest memories with wah and there personal experiences ( i feel this makes the book more interesting and unique).


                                           
















Overall, i think this is an excellent book for people who are begginer's at nail art and want to learn more about it and how to do new nail art designs. You can buy this book from AmazonAsos, and Urban Outfitters. This book is also a bargain at 10.00 so you cant go wrong.



P.s it includes stickers, bet you all want it now.
