Essie: Absolutely Shore
I only went on the website to pick up this gorgeous essie shade in Absolutely Shore after seeing Vivianna Does Make Up's video on her essie polishes! I have the cult shade Mint Candy Apple and love it but sometimes feel it's a bit much for this time of year. I did a very quick, messy swatch on my thumb to get an idea of what the consistency is like. I would say it needs 3 coats to get the most of the colour but it glides on beautifully and the colour is so wearable. It's a bit different from the nudes and browns I have been wearing recently (I have been wearing Nails Inc Porchester Square religiously since my lovely sister bought me it in a trio of polishes for Christmas). This nail polish cost £8.50 which is a lot but I can see myself wearing it all through spring/summer (I think this will look fab with a tan)! I also think my mum will love this shade! I do her nails for her about twice a week and can see this being one of her new favorites!
Nail Inc: Notting Hill Gate
I have been searching and searching for the perfect bright pink since last summer and I think I have finally found it! This is a very bright, highlighter pink. Again it needs about 3 coats for full opacity. The first picture really captures the colour, but the swatch doesn't do it justice at all! I managed to pick this up in the sale! It was reduced from £11 to £8.69! I've had a quick look on the website and the Nails Inc polishes are still reduced so get in their quick if there is a colour that takes your fancy! I also do my sisters nails a lot too and think this shade will be right up her street, to be honest any pink is going to be a hit with her! I can see this being one of my staple Summer shades in 2013 but think I'll be wearing it all year round.
I have very, very oily skin. It is spot prone and acne scarred. All in all, not the best. However, this Winter my skin has got very dry everywhere bar my t-zone which has stayed very oily. I spotted this on the website and, having heard good things about it thought I would give it a go! It claims to 'calm, nourish and smooth distressed skin' which is just what I was looking for! Hopefully it will give my skin a boost of hydration without making it any more oily. This was also in the sale, I paid £13.43 for this. I have tried to find it on the website but it's not there anymore. However, there are many other First Aid Beauty products in the sale. I already have the ultra repair cream and the smooth shave cream both of which I love so I have high hopes for this product. It does smell a bit like soapy porridge though...!
I'm super excited about this order! Also, the service I received from Beauty Bay was amazing! I placed my order at about half 12 and by half 3 the same day my order was dispatched. I placed my order on the Wednesday and it arrived Monday morning! Not bad at all considering the delivery is free! I will definitely be ordering from them in the future!
