NOTD Sally Hansen - Peachy Keen

I just couldn't wait to get this on my nails, it is so pretty. A lovely nude peach colour and like Commander in Chic it applies really smoothly. Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure is my new favourite nail polish range. I just need stopping before I buy the whole range.
The only very slight downside is that it needed three coats but I can live with that. 

 

Retail Therapy

I have been a little stressed today so I thought I would treat myself and do little bit of beauty shopping. (clothes shopping always frustrates me, so I stick to makeup) I needed to get a new cleanser, I also had some Boots points and a No7 voucher so decided I would go to Boots and spend them.

First up I picked up the No7 makeup wipes. These are great at removing makeup and they never dry out. I also spotted this Vitamin E cleanser so thought I would give it a try, as I like just simple cream cleansers. I noticed it was 3 for 2 on skincare so I picked up Oilatum cream that Pixiwoo have been raving about. (I'm always following the hype, I think its a problem)

I also got Sally Hansen's Peachy Keen nail polish (NOTD to follow) and Lanolips Lemon lip aid. I have wanted the Lanolips since FleurDeForce spoke about it on YouTube. (see products with lots of hype is my weakness. haha.)

 

I was then having a look around the Clarins counter and got chatting to the sales assistant, I was talking about how I'm trying to find a new cleanser and she gave me some samples which was very exciting. I got two eye make up removers and two foaming cleansers. Looking forward to trying them out. 

And lastly I picked up Glamour magazine as it has free sample size Benefit makeup with it this month. I got two, High Beam and Posie Tint. If you have read my favourite highlighters post you will know that High Beam is one of them, so this is the perfect travel size. I have never tried Posie Tint so another thing I look forward to trying out.

Overall a good shop and I didn't spend any more than £14 as I had the voucher and spent my boots points.

Have you been doing any retail therapy recently? 

Sally Hansen Commander In Chic - NOTD

If you read yesterday's post you would have seen that I got this beautiful polish, I was so excited to use it I had to paint my nails last night. I thought I would share a picture of it applied so you could see.

This is two coats, it was an absolute dream to apply. The brush is really thick and coats most of the nail in one go. Also the formula was so smooth, there was no streaking. I will defiantly be picking some more up. The Sally Hansen range is available at Boots.

Have you tried this range?

Bank Holiday Shopping Spree

I went shopping for a friends birthday present today and ended up buying myself a few presents along the way. Oops! I shouldn't be spending because I had to buy myself a new laptop this weekend as mine went to laptop heaven. Which to be honest was a long time coming, as for the last year it has been slowly giving up. So it was goodbye laptop, hello tiny netbook. I decided to get a netbook as they are so much lighter, I can throw, place it nicely in my handbag when i'm on the move and I only need it for iTunes, uploading photo's, the internet and that sort of thing.  So didnt need anything super powerful. Anyway back to today's goodies.

First off I went to boots, I wanted to pick up Sally Hansen's Commander in chic nail polish. I had read on NicolaVC86 blog that this was an exact dupe for Sephora by OPI's Metro Chic, which I have been wanting for ages. So I just "had" to get it.
If you spent over £15 in boots today your got 10 points for each pound you spent instead of 4, so of course I went way over the £15 mark. I finally caved and got the Origins VitaZing, I cannot wait to use this tomorrow morning, hopefully it will make getting up for work tomorrow a little easier. I also had a £5 No7 voucher, so picked up their smokey eyeliner brush as I have heard good things about it.
 I then headed for H&M and picked up a cute little orange and navy striped makeup bag, a coral braclet and some feather earrings.
I think I have too say a very succesful shopping trip.

I got my friend MAC All that glitters eyeshadow and keep it fluffy bath ballistic from Lush. Have you ever got someone a present and wanted to keep it for yourself, yep thats how I am feeling right now.

Hope you all have had a good bank holiday weekend?
