MAC's Soirée Nail Polish

MAC's Soirée Nail Polish is a beautiful shimmery pink toned bronze shade. I had really wanted to add this shade to my MAC polish collection since before Christmas so I decided that now was the time to treat myself to it.

Soirée is an absolutely beautiful polish with an amazing formula. It has an excellent consistency and is a delight to apply with its great brush. It's pigmentation is great too. I applied two coats of this polish for complete opacity. This polish also dries really smoothly and quickly. I found it lasted well on my nails with a good base & top coat.

I can't recommend MAC's shimmer/pearl and glitter polishes enough. They are just a dream to apply and wear.

Have any of you tried MAC's Soirée Polish? What are your thoughts on it? I would love to hear from you!

Essie's Fringe Factor Nail Polish

Essie's Fringe Factor is a lilac and purple glitter strand nail polish. I really like that it has two different shades of metallic glitter strand in it. It makes it just a little bit more unique.

Fringe Factor has a lovely smooth formula and an excellent wide brush. Therefore, the application of the polish is a dream. There is a good polish to glitter strand ratio and you can also build up your glitter coverage. This polish dries super smoothly and pretty quickly. It is definitely a nice, hard wearing polish.

Mia Felce Notebooks

If you guys haven't already checked out Mia Felce's designs then you definitely need to! Mia is a British print designer who creates amazing designs. She sells phone cases, art prints, clutch bags and notebooks. I am always raving about her so I'm sure you have heard me mention her designs before.

Over the last few months I have actually bought nine of her amazing note books to give to my friend as gifts in bundles of three. My friend is a newly qualified primary school teacher and gets through a lot of notebooks every term. She absolutely loves Mia's designs so they make the perfect gift for her. She has finished the first three I gave her and is now on to the second set.

I just wanted to show you how cool Mia's notebooks are and what great gifts they make. If I had more of a use for notebooks I would buy all of her notebook designs. Unfortunately, at the moment I don't but I do buy all of her phone cases instead. It's no secret that I am slightly addicted to her phone case designs.

You can check out all of Mia's products and designs here: http://www.miafelce.co.uk/

Trust me- Mia's designs are amazing and her products are excellent quality. I don't think I could be more of a fan if I tried!

What do you think of my adorable Mia Felce notebooks? Would you like to receive these as a gift? I'd love to hear what you guys think!

MAC's Irresistibly Charming Pigment Set

I have never tried pigments ever before in my life. In fact until recently I didn't realise you could use them as eyeshadow or blusher or highlighter. When I discovered the multiple uses for pigments I thought it would be fun to try them.

I bought MAC's Irresistibly Charming Pigment Set from their Holiday 2015 Collection. It includes three pigments and one glitter. I have since learned that you are not meant to use the glitter on your eyes. 

There is a nude pigment with a very subtle shimmer called Naked, a shimmery taupe pigment called Blonde's Gold and a gorgeous shimmery bronze pigment called Out All Night.

I am really interested to try out these pigments. I will let you know how I get on with them.

What do you guys think about MAC's Irresistibly Charming Pigment Set? Have you tried any of MAC's pigments before? Do you have any tips about how to use them? I love hearing from you guys!

Color Club's Cherubic Holographic Nail Polish

Color Club's Cherubic Holographic Nail Polish is an awesome pewter shade. It has hints of bronze but also hints of gold. If you have read my previous review posts about Color Club's Holographic Polishes then you will know that I am a huge fan.  Cherubic is just as amazing as their other holographic polishes.

Cherubic has an exceptional polish formula which is highly pigmented and amazingly smooth. It glides on to the nails beautifully and you only need one to two coats of this polish for totally opaque, streak free nails. This polish dries pretty quickly and is fairly hard wearing. I always wear a good base and top coat to make sure that my polish lasts for a whole week.

Cherubic is an awesome holographic polish and one which I highly recommend.

What do you guys think about Color Club's Cherubic Holographic Nail Polish? Have you tried this polish before or would you like to try it in the future?

MAC's Night Thrill Eyeshadow

MAC's Night Thrill Eyeshadow is a beautiful golden shade with a metallic shimmer through it.  I really love golden eyeshadow so I was instantly drawn to Night Thrill. It looked really cool so I couldn't resist. I also love the metallic turquoise packaging that this eyeshadow comes in. 

I think this will be a great shade to wear over brown shadows to add a bit of metallic shimmer. Of course I will try using this eyeshadow wet to see what kind of effect it provides. I am really hoping that I love this eyeshadow.

What do you guys think of MAC's Night Thrill Golden Eyeshadow? Have you tried it before? Do you have a favourite MAC eyeshadow?

Essie's Tassel Shaker Glitter Polish

Essie's Tassel Shaker Polish is a lovely copper and gold glitter strand nail polish. I have painted this polish over a black base so you can see how pretty it is. 

Tassel Shaker has a fantastic formula and you can build up the glitter polish for your desired amount of coverage. The wide brush that comes with this polish is amazing at applying the glitter and evenly dispersing it over the nail.  It applies and dries really smoothly which is great.  This polish is quite hard wearing too.

What do you guys think of Essie's Tassel Shaker Glitter Strand Nail Polish? Have you got this polish or any of the others from this collection? Let me know!

Mavala's Magic Saphir Glitter Polish

Mavala's Magic Saphir Polish is a deep purple glitter polish with blue, pink and holographic glitter through it. It is really unique because most of the glitter is fine apart from the pink glitter which is represented  beautifully by large pink hexagonal particles.

Magic Saphir has a nice formula with a good glitter to polish ratio. It glides onto the nails smoothly with a lovely brush. It also dries quickly and smoothly which is important. This polish lasts well and as it is a glitter polish it's hard wearing.

I'd love to hear what your thoughts are on Mavala's Magic Saphir Polish? Let me know what you think!

Nails Inc's Chelsea Embankment Glitter Polish

Nails Inc's Chelsea Embankment Polish is a full coverage golden glitter polish. I think it is a total staple gold glitter polish. It is really sparkly so I have loved wearing it.

Chelsea Embankment has a really lovely smooth formula with a perfect balance between glitter and clear polish. It has an awesome wide brush which disperses the glitter really evenly. I found that this polish covered my nails after two coats but you might want to use three coats. It dries nice and quickly and is also hard wearing. There has been little chipping or tip wear.

I would highly recommend Nails Inc's Chelsea Embankment Glitter Polish if you are looking for an excellent full coverage golden glitter.

What are your thoughts on Nails Inc's Chelsea Embankment Glitter Polish? Have you tried this polish or would you like to try it? I would love to know!

Linwoods Healthy Food Haul

I am rather excited about trying these Linwoods products as they are extremely good for ones health. I purchased Linwoods Flaxseed and Chia Seed along with two of their slightly more exotic blends of seeds.

I am going to add these to my oats in the morning and possibly bake them into nutritious protein cookies/muffins. You can actually use these products in everyday meals too so I will have to investigate that avenue. 

Hopefully these Linwoods products will add more protein, omega 3 and important nutrients in general to my life.

What are your thoughts on Linwoods products? Have you tried any of these or anything similar? If so, do you find them beneficial? It makes my day when I hear from you guys!

MyProtein Food & Supplements

I am always looking for ways to improve my health and look after myself so I have decided to try some of MyProtein's food products and supplements.

I bought their Green Tea Extract powder and their Total Nutri-Greens powder supplement. These will hopefully boost my immune system and help me to stay happy and healthy.

As I have become a much busier person in recent years I have found that I need to eat really nutritious food that fills me up and gives me energy. I definitely lack protein in my diet as I'm not much of a meat eater so hopefully MyProtein's Peanut Butter,  Protein Granola, Chocolate Protein Balls and Protein Wafers might help me out a bit.

I will let you know how I get on with these products.

Have you guys tried any of these MyProtein products before? If so please let me know how you found them! Or have you tried any other products to boost your health that you would recommend?

Color Club's Kismet Holographic Polish

Color Club's Kismet Polish is a gorgeous yellow gold holographic nail polish. There aren't really any other polishes that are quite as cool as Color Club's Holographic Polishes so Kismet was an instant winner for me.

Kismet has an amazing formula which is totally worth raving about. It applies beautifully and smoothly to the nails with its excellent polish brush. This polish has fantastic pigmentation so your nails are completely opaque with no streaks. I applied two coats of this polish but you might be able to get away with just one because it is so amazing! This polish dries fairly quickly and is pretty hard wearing.

Color Club's Kismet Holographic Polish is definitely one to add to your nail polish collection. I can't rave about it enough.

What do you guys think about Color Club's Kismet Holographic Nail Polish? Do you have this polish or any of the others in the collection? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Topshop's Jem Glitter Polish

Topshop's Jem Glitter Nail Polish is a lovely pink toned red glitter polish with a clear polish base. It consists of large hexagonal glitter particles along with a fine glitter.

This polish was one of Topshop's Christmas tree decoration gifts so it came in really cute packaging.

Jem has Topshop's trademark awesome polish formula. It is the perfect consistency and has just the right amount of glitter to polish. This polish applies really nicely and dries smoothly which is great. The brush is good too but I do prefer the brush that comes with the full size bottles. It doesn't take long to dry and is fairly long lasting.

I think this is a super pretty polish. What do you guys think about Topshop's Jem Glitter Polish? Let me know in the comments section!

New MAC Nail Polish Additions

I had been lusting after these three MAC nail polishes for a while and I finally decided to treat myself to them. The polishes that I have added to my collection are called Soirée (pink bronze), Screaming Bright (pewter) and Mean & Green (purple,bronze & green).

These were the final three metallic polishes that I needed to complete my metallic and glitter polish MAC collection. I am really glad I bought them just in case they are discontinued.

Essie's Bell-Bottom Blues Nail Polish

I am always a total sucker for metallic blue nail polish. So, I couldn't resist adding Essie's Bell-Bottom Blues Polish to my collection. This polish is a beautiful deep metallic blue shade with hints of turquoise through it. 

Bell-Bottom Blues has a great formula and even though this polish has a thinner brush it still applies really nicely. I only needed two coats of this polish for streak free nails which is great. This polish dries fairly quickly and lasts well with a good top and base coat.

What are your thoughts on Essie's Bell-Bottom Blues Nail Polish? Do you have this polish? Let me know what you think!

Mavala Magic Spice Glitter Polish

Mavala's Magic Spice Polish is a lovely orange and gold glitter polish. This polish is so cool. I don't think I have another polish like it. It has a very autumnal vibe about it but I don't see why you couldn't wear this polish all year round. 

Magic Spice has a really great formula with a perfect glitter to polish ratio. This is a vital characteristic of a good glitter polish. The brush applies the glitter really nicely. This polish dries smoothly which is fantastic. It is also quite hard wearing.

Nails Inc Mini Nail Polish Haul

I have three really pretty Nails Inc polishes to show you today. The first one is called Chelsea Embankment and is a pretty full coverage gold glitter polish. It is a classic gold glitter polish which I decided I "needed".

The second polish is called Black Diamond and it is from the Alice and Olivia for Nails Inc Collection. It is a black polish with a strong silver grey shimmer through it which makes it look like a metallic deep silver polish. 

The third polish is called New Globe Walk and it is a golden Snowglobe polish. You can control how much glitter you paint on your nails by how vigorously you shake the bottle.

Mia Felce Winter Phone Cases

I bought these amazing winter themed phone cases from Mia Felce at the end of last year and have been so busy that I haven't had a chance to write about them until now.  They are such gorgeous designs! I have been alternating between both cases all winter. 

I always love the colours that Mia uses in her designs but the snowflakes she has incorporated into these particular designs are just adorable. These designs are so pretty I really haven't wanted to put any other cases on my phone apart from these two.

As well as these awesome phone cases Mia sells notebooks, clutch bags, post cards and art prints. All of her products make great gifts for yourself and for your friends. I highly recommend checking out Mia's website http://www.miafelce.co.uk .

What do you guys think of Mia's winter phone case designs? Do you have a favourite out of the two cases? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Essie's Fashion Flares Glitter Polish

Essie's Fashion Flares Polish is a medium toned pink glitter strand polish. It catches the light beautifully and looks awesome over black polish.

This polish has a really lovely formula and a great glitter to polish ratio. It not thick and gloopy nor is it thin and watery. The polish applies really well to the nails with its excellent wide brush. Like most Essie Glitter Polishes it dries really smoothly and quickly. 

I think Essie's Fashion Flares is such a pretty polish it's definitely great to have in your polish collection.

What do you guys think about Essie's Fashion Flares Glitter Polish? Do you have this polish too? I love hearing from you!

Palette London's Amethyst Textured Nail Paint

This gorgeous glitter polish is from Palette London and it's called Amethyst. It is a textured nail polish but I wanted to wear it for a whole week so I applied a top coat over it. It has been a joy to wear as it is really sparkly.

Amethyst has a fantastic formula and a great brush to apply the polish with. The polish is the perfect consistency. My nails were totally opaque within two to three coats of polish. I have found that the polish has lasted really well despite me doing lots of typing at work and lots of cleaning at home. I did find I had a bit of tip wear during the week but I had been doing more cleaning than usual.

Overall, I really like this polish and would definitely recommend it.

Color Club's Cosmic Fate Holographic Polish

Yay I have finally added another amazing Color Club Holographic Polish to my collection and this time it's called Cosmic Fate. It is an awesome bronze shade with a multicoloured holographic shimmer running through it.

The formula of this polish is as beautiful as all of the other Color Club Holographic Polishes that I have tried. It effortlessly glides onto the nails and therefore is an absolute dream to apply. The brush is excellent and the pigmentation is amazing. You're nails are completely opaque after two coats of this polish.  Cosmic Fate is a fairly long lasting and hard wearing polish too.

I love this polish so much. If you ever get the chance to try Color Club's Holographic Polishes I would highly recommend it!
