TAG: 8 Most Worn Things! Summer Edition

Hello guys! A bit of a random post from me today but I am going to do the 8 Most Worn Things Tag! I haven't been tagged by anyone to do this, but I have seen this tag a lot around YouTube recently and thought it would be fun do it myself here!

1) Most worn nail polish:
'Mint Green' By Barry M, I wrote about it in My Top 5 Summer Nail Polishes post.
2 Most worn hair product:
This is a bit of a random one but it is actually just TRESemme's Heat Defence Styling Spray.
3) Most worn bag:
Cath Kidston Day Bag.
4) Most worn shoes:
I got these shoes at Faith in Debenhams a few months ago, I have worn them so much, I just love them!
5) Most worn accessories:
I have worn my Ray-Ban 'Wayfarer' sunglasses loads these past few months, I love them immensely!
6) Most worn clothing item:
This playsuit from River Island, I just love the colours in it and I think it is so summery and fun!
7) Most worn foundation:
Clinique Superbalanced Makeup - I just love this stuff!
8) Most worn blush/bronzer:
I was never a massive blusher or bronzer person, but in these summer months I have been loving Rimmel's Natural Bronzer.

9) Most worn lip product:
'Patisserie' by MAC.
10) Most worn mascara:
This would have to be my Bourjois Volumizer Mascara, it's amazing!
11) Most worn eyeshadow:
My most worn eyeshadow this summer has definitely been this quad from No 7. It is called the 'Smokey Rose Quad.' Unfortunately I got given this quad by No 7 free when I bought one of their mascaras and I don't think it is available to buy :(

Thank you for reading! And I tag all of you reading to do this, if you do this tag leave me a link to your tag in the comments as I would love to read it! xx

Barry M Magic Lipstick!


Hey guys! I bought this lipstick ages ago and have been meaning to blog about it for ages because it is just so cool! I was hesitant to buy it at first, because all of the Barry M lipsticks that I have bought in the past I found very drying, but I looked past that and bought this anyway - just because it looked cool.

So as you can see, in bullet form this lipstick looks quite scary, but when you put it onto the lips it changes to suit your skin tone (although - when I bought this, two of my friends bought it too, and all our lips ended up a very similar colour) it goes from quite a sheer pink at first to a bright, vibrant pink within about ten minutes.

I didn't have a problem with this lipstick being very drying at all and, my gosh, it lasts a long time! Even after eating and drinking, it barely budges - so it would be brilliant for a night out! - if I ever find my lips drying out whilst wearing this I will just apply a lip balm over the top and it's fine.

The 'magic' lipstick immediately after applying.
Roughly ten minutes after application (it doesn't look particularly
bright here, it comes out brighter on the lip!)

My Top 5 Favourite Summer Nail Polishes!

Hello guys, sorry I haven't posted anything in a while - I've had a pretty hectic week or so - but I am back! And finally summer is starting to look like it has arrived so I thought I would tell you about my 5 most reached for nail polishes in the summer months!
1. Topshop - Big Smoke.
I like this colour for summer simply because it is so easy to wear - it is just a nice nude colour that goes with anything, also, when I wear this I often find it lasts for ages before chipping and that makes me happy.
2. Barry M - Pink Iridescent.
Who doesn't like a bit of glitter on their nails, in the sun or rain?! I think this polish is super pretty, and I'll wear it on its own or over the top of another colour to add a little sparkle. 
3. Collection 2000 - Fruit Salad.
Not only was this nail polish super duper cheap, it is a gorgeous colour and it dries in just 60 seconds! This is my go-to nail polish if I am going out and I'm in a rush to get ready - I think I need some more Collection 2000 nail polishes in my collection as this is my only one!
4. Topshop - Marine Scene.
I was given this nail polish by a friend because they didn't like the colour of it against their skin, so I didn't really expect too much of this polish - but I absolutely love it! It is such a lovely colour and so easy to wear. The only thing I dislike about this polish is that it stains, a lot, a base coat is essential!
5. Barry M - Mint Green.
I bought this nail polish ages and ages ago and forgot that I owned it, but I found it the other day and - after a drop or two of nail varnish remover to make it a little less gloopy - I realised how nice the colour was! It is a perfect summery minty green (as the name would suggest!) and I will definitely start wearing it more often.

Barry M Glitter Nail Polish


 Hey guys! As your typical girlie girl, I am into anything pink and glittery, so when I was shopping in Boots the other day, I let out a little squeal of excitement when I saw Barry M's Pink Iridescent Glitter Nail Paint! As soon as I picked up the bottle I was intrigued by how pretty it looked, so I straight away went to the till and bought it.


  The minute I got home I painted my nails with it, at first I was a little disappointed with how little the pink showed through, but after I had put on a second coat I felt quite satisfied. The pink still didn't show through intensely although that isn't at all what I expected in the first place, I think the nail polish made my nails look pretty and girlie - a perfect shade for summer parties.


  I am glad I purchased this Barry M product - recently I have been neglecting my Barry M nail polishes and using a lot of Topshop ones in their place - but buying and wearing this has made me remember how much I like Barry M nail varnishes, I will start wearing them more often!!
