Nails - Barry M Matte

Colour: Vanilla no415
I saw someone sport this colour, or atleast one similar to it and just knew I had to have it! I wasn't sure if I was digging the whole matte nails trend but in the end I caved and I'm glad I did. I'm completely obsessed with this colour! It's become one of my favourites.

Bioderma Sensibio H2O Dupe

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

The Bioderma Sensibio H2O is a beauty product that literally EVERYBODY knows about. If you don't then I don't know where you've been..living under a rock maybe?

It is essentially a cleansing water which helps, remove make-up, cleanse and soothe the skin. It is fragrance free which is always great! And is great for sensitive skin. I do like this product and as you can see my bottle is pretty much empty; needing to purchase a new cleanser this time I decided to go for the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water

The Garnier cleansing water aims to do pretty much all the same things which the Bioderma water advertises. Except this is cheaper plus you get a lot more product for the price. I bought the bioderma water for, I believe, £10 for a 250ml bottle whereas the Garnier water retails at £4.99 (currently £3.33 at boots!) and you get 400ml of product. Even though the price is different it pretty much does the same thing and in my opinion they are of equal quality. Though I did enjoy using the Bioderma water I don't believe it is any better than this cheaper dupe drugstore alternative. The Garnier cleansing water is also much easier to find!

So if you wanted to give the Bioderma cleansing water a go, I say give it a go you wont be disappointed; however, if you don't wish to spend as much and bare in mind you do get less product than go for the Garnier cleansing water as it is just as great and more pocket friendly.

Movie: The Great Gatsby (2013)
Genre: Drama, Romance
Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan

Great Gatsby (an adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel) is one that I had been meaning to watch for about a year or so till I finally managed to see it over at my cousin's house a while back now. I was utterly amazed by the cinematography of it all; the directing, actors, fashion, the whole shebang! It was hands down one of the most, if not the most beautifully visual movie I've ever watched.

The story is narrated through the character, Nick Carraway who befriends his neighbour, Gatsby. Gatsby is known to throw lavish parties like no one else does (seriously watch the movie and you will see just how incredible it all is, if there ever is a party like that I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world!) Gatsby is in love with Mulligan's character, Daisy. As Nick enters Gatsby's world he realises however just how obsessive, crazy and passionate Gatsby can be at times. If you thought DiCaprio couldn't get any better, think again. Oh side note, I really don't understand how he doesn't have like 5 Oscars already; its ridiculous! Watch the trailer on the link below.

Summer - L'Oreal Nude Magique BB Cream

As its summer no one really likes to slap on a butt load of foundation. Summer is the time where many tend to prefer a lighter base, including me. This summer I've been reaching for my L'Oreal Nude Magique BB Cream.

The one I've purchased is for consumers with medium skin tone; it claims to be a 5 in 1.
- Flawless coverage
- Perfectly even skin texture
- Fresh dewy glow
- 24H hydration
- Protects with SPF12
I do really like this product however, I don't believe it necessarily provides your skin with a flawless coverage, as it is a light coverage BB cream, regarding the 24h hydration I'm also not sure if it does that as I don't keep it on for 24 hours!

However, as I said I do really like this product and have been using it frequently over the past few weeks. As you take it out it is a purple/grey-ish colour however as soon as you blend it onto your face you are left with a even skin tone and a beautiful dewy glow. I love it for summer as it doesn't feel heavy on your skin at all and that is something that I think most of us want especially around summer time. It does pretty much stay on for the duration of time that I'm out as well. All-in-all I enjoy using this very much and L'Oreal never fails to make me a happy customer.

if you are looking for a light-weight base product for the summer than I highly recommend giving this a go. Do let me know if you've tried it and what your thoughts are!

Nails - Kiko no470

It's a double-post kinda day! I feel kinda bad and a bit disappointed in myself that I haven't been posting as much as I would like (wow that sounded dramatic, cringe) so I thought I'd post my usual #musicmonday post today and a more beauty related post.

 This nail vanish from Kiko is part of their summer releases, I purchased it a few weeks ago now and have been meaning to blog about it. I LOVE this colour it has turned out to be one of my favourites for the summer. it is a beautiful pink with gorgeous hints of gold shimmer. its not glitter. Its shimmer.

The picture is not doing it enough justice! It is easy and quick to apply, needing 1 max 2 coats and you're good to go! It is also available in green and blue, had I known how much I would fall in love with it I would of gotten another colour. (Dw I'll probably end up purchasing them next time I go in there ha)

#HappySunday

I like this week's quote as its a quote in which I can learn from and have been trying for a while. There have been times where my instant response to something/someone has been with anger; however I've realised as I've grown up a little bit that it doesn't do me much favours. 

 



(image: quotesvalley)

I now try to stop myself from responding in an angry manner, as it only frustrates me more and usually worsens the situation. When I'm in a situation where I feel that I am getting frustrated and angry with someone I tend to now try to calm myself down by, reminding myself to not react immediately and know that sometimes silence is the best response. If you're like me and you get bothered by the fact that you get angry so quickly in situations then try to find a way to calm yourself down. Or like me remind yourself to just think before you speak. If you've already been in a similar situation where its led to you being angry however, nothing good coming out of such a angered response then let that be a reminder to yourself not to do react in the same manner again and aim to just get yourself out of the situation.  

Speak to you soon :)

Summer: park life

My second 'summer' post is me showing you what I like to take with me when I'm just having a chilled day in the sun at a park with friends. Hint: I don't pack light!

First off I finally bought a blanket! Well, it's actually a throw but I plan on using it as my 'park blanket'. Been meaning to purchase one since like, God knows how many years ago. 

My sunscreen cause durhhh and a mini deodorant cause durhhhh

Sunglasses; these are my other ones, from Asos.

A book, I'm currently reading 'The Devil Wears Prada'

A camera, I've been enjoying using a disposable camera as of late! I got mine from Boots, I believe they are £10 for 27 pictures.

And these are some extra things that I bring along with me also. Lipsticks, concealer, hand cream, nail vanish's cause yaknow why not? #Yolo (I'm clearly living life on the edge!)

So these are the things that I take with me, hope you enjoyed this post! Let me know how your summer has been so far. The weather in the UK has been great these past few weeks, except for a couple of off days, other than that I'm pretty impressed with the weather this summer!
