Would You Like Sprinkles On That?






Nails Inc Pudding Lane, OPI My Very First Knockwurst



Two recent nail polish purchases I got are the Nails Inc Sprinkles 'Pudding Lane'  which is a beautiful teal shade with gold and black glitter particles in it, which you could wear just on it's own which will be amazing over the festive period.

The other shade I got was OPI My Very First Knockwurst which is from their Germany collection and to be honest there was not many shades from their collection which took my fancy apart from this one and also Berlin There Done That come Autumn time I am all for the nudes and dark shades.

My Very First Knockwurst is such a pretty pink-beige creme shade which applies like a dream and only needs two coats, I've been wearing it on it's own for past few days, then I thought I would spice it up and add the Nails Inc polish on my ring finger which I think they go well together.

Did you get anything from OPI's recent collections? What shades do you like?

Haul Time......





So I've been trying to be good recently and have a min spending ban, for nearly a month and then I was browsing on line on Sunday and before I knew it I'd just done quite a big shop , thing I find with online shopping is.... doesn't seem like real money haha.



NYX Eyeshadows in Gypsy and Sahara - I've heard such good things about Nyx shadows so decided to try a couple out and this was a NYX Duo and I've only been using them for a couple of days and so far I really like them,really pigmented and feel like velvet.

Daniel Sandler Retexturizing Primer-  I had asked on twitter what this was like, and so many people replied saying it was amazing, I had been using the Benefit Porefessional for so long and thought nothing would beat this WOW how wrong could I be? This is incredible feels like i'm applying silk to my face and the difference it makes when I'm applying my foundation is amazing.

Daniel Sandler Jumbo Jet Mascara- Needed a new one and have used this before, I love big jumbo brushes as I love the look it gives.

Daniel Sandler Watercolour Blush -  Never ever tried this before, but thought I'd give it a go, the jury is still out at the moment need to use it a bit more before I can give my real views on it.

YSL Touche Eclat-  Everyone and anyone knows this, I had one a couple of years ago and had never got round to re purchasing it so this time I did in shade 01.

Nails INC Polishes in Sweets Way Sprinkes and Paint your Pinkie-  Love both of these shades and can't wait to do NOTD posts on them, especially love the Paint Your Pinkie as it's for charity.

OPI My Very First Knockwurst - I wasn't blown away with this collection from OPI  if i'm honest but I do love a beautiful nude in the Autumn months and this is so pretty.

Thierry Mugler Womanity- This is will be in my top 5 perfumes ever, I love it, love the design of the bottle and how quirky the lid is and the smell is out of this world and last all day I swear to god it's wonderful I am no good at describing  scents at all so this is what they say 
Engaging, mysterious and unique, Womanity is full of contrast. It's built around the theme of the fig fruit, a powerful symbol of femininity, with an exceptional fig and caviar accord


 I also picked up got a lot of Elizabeth Arden skin care products but I think I will have to do a seperate post on them.
If you want anything done in more reviews just let me know.

Have you been on a shopping spree recently? what did you buy?

Travel Bag - Skin Care Edition





Living In Manchester now for last 5 years and all my family in Kent means I travel down to Kent  a LOT and I have now finally mastered the art of light packing only when it comes to my skincare and make up, everything else I still tend to over pack and I'm guessing I always will, but don't we all? The art of light packing with skin care? Minis of everything are AMAZING!!


This is actually a pencil ase from Paperchase haha I fell in love with it, and has 3 compartments which is amazing.


Sanctuary Spa Body Wash-I love all of the Sanctuary products and I have this in a full sized bottle which I obviously keep at home and straight away I got the travel size to take with me, the smell is incredible.

Sanctuary Brightening Facial Moisture Lotion -  Anyone will tell you that travelling a lot really takes it's toll on your skin and I really do not like wearing make up when I travel, but I always find I need a pick me up once I get of the train so this is amazing gives my skin a nice Brightening glow and I love how it has SPF15 in it.

St Ives Apricot Scrub -  One of my all time fave body scrubs, I swear by this and could smell it all day long, but there is no way I would carry the huge tub around in my suitcase so I love how they do the travel size.




S&G The Daily Smooth Body Butter- I think everyone loves Soap and Glory products and their body butters are no different I can not decide which is my favourite but I love The Daily Smooth and always make sure I have two of these one in my handbag at all times and one in my travel bag at all times.

Organix Coconut Milk Shampoo-  I tried this on the off chance and basically just because I love Coconut and got it in boots for £1.99 for a travel size with the full size being £5.99 and within using this three times I rushed out and got the full size one as well, a- it smells out of this world and leaves my hair smelling incredible and b- since using this my hair has been in amazing condition.

Nivea Lip Balm - An essential especially as my lips get very dry and chapped during the winter and this has such a subtle smell to it which is so nice.

What do you keep in your travel bags?

September Faves






Nivea Pure & Natural Milk And Honey - My lips have been very chapped and dry this past month, so when I was in Boots I grabbed this just on the off chance as needed something and something quick! And it has not disappointed,smells amazing and really helps. Since I've been using it my lips have been less chapped and not dry at all.

Benefit Hello Flawless - I think this has been in every one of my favourites since I have used it and as you can tell I have nearly finished so shows how much I love it it is just amazing, so nice and light and gives good coverage. Personally I will not use it during the winter months as it is very light but come the summer months I will repurchase this time and time again.

Essie Off The Shoulder and Bikini So Teeny- These have been my two go to polishes for last couple of months from Essie's summer collection and I love them especially Bikini So Teeny which is a beautiful blue shade with a very subtle hint of shimmer in it just beautiful. And Off the Shoulder is an amazing dusky pink which looks great on my toes.

No7 Beautiful Skin Cleansing Water- This is incredible smells amazing,leaves my skin feeling so smooth , and is very good at removing my make up and is very soft on my skin doesn't sting my eyes or cause any irritation,it's just amazing and I will be repurchasing this without a doubt.

MAC 'Crew' - This is technically a highlighter but looks too odd on my skin tone,so I found this works best for me as a blush and I honestly have not used anything else as blush for about the last two months I am in love with this shade so much,and gives me just that nice subtle look .

What have been your favourites this month? Leave me ya links
