Acrylic nails= FTW!

Hey guys!
Sorry i've been a bit distant recently but there's been alot going on!

3-4weeks ago I went to a local nail salon and had acrylics put on. I had french manicure (white tips) full nails and I only got charged £20! Amazing!
They were similar too this^

Even though they were fantastic and my nails have grown underneath they are very brittle and weak and have all broken so now I have even shorter nails than I started with! I went too a boots pharmacy counter and the woman asked if I was a regular false nail wearer and if I had a low calcium intake. These were both sadly correct, so if you are interested in acrylic nails bare this in mind! If you have alot of calcium and vitamins in your diet this shouldn't be a problem. I would 100% recommend acrylics too everyone! (I'm going to get another set this weekend haha!)

What do you think about acrylics? Have you ever had them?

Review: Natural Collection blushes and Lipstick!


I was in boots the other day and saw that they had an offer for 3 for £5 on Natural Collection and was dying to try some products! The thing I wanted to try the most were the blushes, after hearing so much hype about them I had to pick two up!

Blushes...
I picked up Pink Cloud and Sugar Plum, (L-R on both pictures)

Pink Cloud seemed to be a favourited colour, therefore I had to pick it up. Its a beautiful pale pink colour and would suit lots of different skin tones.
Sugar Plum is more of deeper colour which would suit deeper skintones. However, I use it for a quick cheek colour but I wouldn't use a bronzer at the same time.
They are super soft but not powdery to work with, these feel so light on the skin and blend beautifully! They have great pigmentation and I can honestly recommend that you try these!

 
(Top is with natural sunlight, bottom is with artificial light)
(Top-Bottom on both pictures, Pink cloud, Sugar Plum and Raspberry lipstick)

I also bought the Moisture shine lipstick in Raspberry which has great pigmentation but for a moisturising lipstick, i've definatley had better! It's not mega drying but I do need a lipgloss over the top. It also has a satin finish so this may have something to do with. What can I say I got all of these for £5 so I can't really complain!

I would 100% recommend the Blushes to everyone and for the lipstick just swatch it on your hand before you buy, it may just be me being picky.

Keep the requests coming guys!
