Jack Wills Nail Varnish - Rose

Hello Readers!

The other day, I bought this nail varnish from Jack Wills. For all of you who don't know what Jack Wills is, its a (fairly pricey) clothing brand, which was originally aimed at university students.

I knew Jack Wills did "Beauty" but I was always quite reluctant to try it, because their main selling point is clothes, so I didn't know if they were to look for quality in their products, rather than just launching make up, just because they can! So I thought that I will try a nail varnish first, and see how that measures up!

I got the colour Rose, which in the bottle looks, a cross between a barbie pink, and almost quite coral coloured! However when it is on the nails, it does match up to the description which I just said, but in natural daylight, it almost looks quite neon pink, which personally, I'm not a massive fan of!

The bottle is a lot like Models Own nail polishes, but this one has got a plastic navy lid, as the main colours of Jack Wills are navy and pink. The formula surprised me! It is a fairly thick consistency, but still needs two coats! I have had it on for 2 days now, and there are still no chips! If it stays like this, barely chipping, I will invest in some more colours! Ive seen a really nice baby blue/ mint colour, which is called Aqua on the website, and I really like the look of it!





I will keep this on my nails for a few days longer, and see if I can warm to the colour! If not, I think it will be a nice colour for toe nails in the summer!

This retails for £6 for 14ml. I don't think that is too bad, given the quality! The only downside to this polish, is the colour is a bit bright for my liking!

Here is a link to the page on the Jack Wills website with the nail polishes on!

Have any of you tried any Jack Wills' beauty range? Do let me know what you think to it! :D

Thanks for reading!

Lots of Love

Technic Carnival Nail Polish

Hello Readers!

Yesterday I picked myself up yet another nail polish. Its official, I have too many now! But as soon as I saw this one, I just couldn't resist it! This certain shade has been floating around the "blogosphere" and I finally got my mitts on it! I have a bit of a weakness when it comes to glittery nail polishes! I have been eyeing up OPI's Rainbow Connection, and this one is supposed to be a dupe of it.

I present to you, Technic's version, Carnival!








From what I can work out, it has 2 different sizes of multi-coloured glitter in it! To get full coverage, I would recommend 3-4 coats.

I bought mine from a Bodycare Store, which unfortunately do not have an online shop. I bought mine for 99p, which is an absolute steal compared to OPI's £10+ prices! I would get down to your nearest Bodycare if you can access one, if not, here is a link for some on Amazon., They are slightly more expensive on there, but just think about the saving you are getting, from not buying the OPI version!

Do any of you girls have this polish? What do you think about it? I love it!

My Rating: 4/5 ****

Estee Lauder Pure Colour Crystal Creme Lipstick - Crystal Pink; Review

Hello Readers, and welcome new readers! :D

I have another lipstick review for you! This one is from Estee Lauder. This lipstick is the only product I own from this brand, and it has not given me any negative views on the brand!





The lipstick is so creamy on application! In colour, it looks quite dark to me, however it matches my lip colour! The lasting power for this lipstick in my opinion would be about 2 hours maximum, and thats without eating! But as it is in such a glamourous and luxurious tube, I'm not too fussed about retouching in public! It is a bit sheerer than a normal lipstick, but some how gives an excellent flush of colour!





What Estee Lauder have to say about it: "Looks and feels incredible. It leaves lips wanting more. Enriched with lip-loving ingredients, including apricot kernel, shea butter and murumuru butter that leave lips soft and creamy smooth." What woman could turn that description away?! If I didn't already have this lipstick, I would definitely want to go out ASAP and buy this lipstick!

This lipstick retails for £18.50 for 3.8g of product. To me, this is definitely a luxury buy, and it is a proud member of my lipstick collection.

My Rating: 4/5 ****

Thanks for Reading!

Lots of Love
