Polishes with Pow!- Models Own

This will be the first of two posts on my favourite nail polishes in my collection

There’s nothing like an exciting nail polish, (call me sad, I know) and these Models Own nail polishes are right up my street. They definitely offer something different from the regular block colour. The four I'm going to mention are, from left to right; Tropical Sun, Indian Ocean, Pink Buff and Ibiza Mix. 

(Available from Boots, £5 each)

I know you are probably thinking, there's nothing exciting about Pink Buff, but i've included it purely because I think it's a great base colour for Ibiza Mix.

Tropical Sun and Indian Ocean are both part of the Beetlejuice collection which I believe is still available and Ibiza Mix is part of the Hedkandi collection which again, I think is still available. If not, eBay will most likely have them!

My go-to colour for the summer was most definitely Indian Ocean. It's so unique and I've seen nothing like it! 

Have you tried any of Models Own offerings?

Mini Haul!

Hi everyone!

This post will be about a few items I recently purchased from Boots. A couple of them were repurchases as I always use them, but the rest are new products I haven't tried before. 

I'll start with the products I've re-purchased which are, Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder in 001 Transparent. This has been the only pressed powder I think I have ever used and it works a treat! It says it lasts up to 5 hours and minimises the appearance of pores which I completely agree with. It retails for £3.99 at Boots 

The next item is another offering from Rimmel and this time it's their Hide the Blemish Concealer in 001 Ivory. Once again this is the only concealer I use for under my eyes and have lost count of how many times I have repurchased. It retails for £4.49 in Boots

The last Rimmel item is a new one for me; the Wake Me Up concealer in 001 Ivory which I bought as I thought it would go well with the Wake Me Up foundation. It retails for £5.99 in Boots

On to nail polishes, I bought two Models Own ones in Buff Pink and Ibiza Mix (part of the Hedkandi range.) I had been thinking of getting the Ibiza Mix for a while because who doesn't love a bit of glitter? They retail for £5.00 each in Boots but when I got to the till I noticed they had an offer of 2 for £7.50

 Last but not least I got Stila Smudge Pot in Kitten. Now I originally bought this thinking it was an eyeshadow base, and when I got home realised it was actually a gel eyeliner. But it's ok, it can be used as an eyeshadow base! It's a lovely champagne colour and retails for £13.00 in Boots.

*Just on a side note, this post isn't me bragging or showing off about what I've bought. I just enjoy reading posts like this and thought you might as well.
