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?

NOTD Models Own - Feeling Blue

 

I paint my nails different colours at least twice a week, so I am going to try and make NOTD a regular feature. 

Today I have on Models Own - Feeling Blue. Its a very bright blue colour, which really stands out. It is a lovely summer colour. This, like all Models Own nail polishes (that I've tried) is so easy to apply. Opaque in one coat, (though I still usually do two) and there is no streaking.

Models Own nail polishes are avaliable at Boots.

NARS Deep Throat

O how I love this blush but hate the name. It makes me cringe every time I say it.....

Anyway onto the actual product, this is the perfect shade for a blush (well i think so anyway) It gives you a nice flush of peachy pink colour with a slight shimmer (none of that chunky glitter you can sometimes find in NARS blushes) and it makes you look glowing. I find that it goes with most looks and lasts almost the whole day. It is 1000x better than NARS Orgasm. I really don't understand the hype on that one. It comes in the usual NARS rubber packaging, which is very sleek looking but it does attract the dirt very easily.
Overall this is a good everyday blush and a good one to go for if you are just starting to buy NARS products.

You can purchase this here for £20.50
