NOTD: Berry Ice Cream

Today's Nail of the Day is Barry M - #308 "Berry Ice Cream"

Not sure why they picked that name because it doesn't really seem like a 'berry' shade to me....

A lilac nail polish had been on my lust list for ages, so I finally picked up this little beauty up while in London. The polish was easy to apply (great brush & product consistency). Below is after applying 2-3 coats.

I think Barry M nail polishes are great quality, are a bargain at only £2.95 and they have a wide variety of colours available. You can buy them online here. Happy Friday darlings! xoxo

"Leather" Jeans OOTD

I have been eyeing up the leather trend for a while now & I have been wanting to join the 'cool crowd' by getting some leather pants or leggings myself. However every time I went shopping and tried some on, they just looked kind of weird on and OTT on me :( I was starting to get worried that the leather pants look & me, just weren't meant to be! 

BUT when I was in London I spotted the perfect "leather" jeans at H&M. They are black skinny jeans but have a shiny leathery feeling/texture to them, which makes them a great soft start for me to get used to the leather pants look!  What do you think? 

Pants:  SQIN &Denim H&M Jeans (low waist, slim leg - buy them online here)

Top: Simple white long sleeved fitted t-shirt from H&M

Vest: Grey Woolen Knit by United Colors of Benetton

Boots: Cinderella

Necklace: Tiffany & Co

So true.....

Exciting update: I am officially moving to London!

I have booked my one-way train ticket for the 9th of November. 

Only 2 weeks to go...new life - here I come :) 

An easy look for lazy makeup days!

Yes you read it right - even I have lazy makeup days! So what do I do on the days when I just want a simple look? I apply on some natural eyeshadow all over my lid, pop on some winged eye-liner and I am ready to hit the road :)

To create this look you can use a liquid or gel liner. 

My usual go-to liners are:

♥ MAC Fluidline Gel Liner (applied with MAC or Sigma 209 or angled liner brush)

♥ MAC Liquid Liner 

(Personally I am a fan of liquid eyeliners that have "stubby" tips rather than long thin brushes as I find them much easier to use but I know a lot of people prefer the thin liquid liners)

However, for the above look I used Barry M liquid eye liner in black. I got this product at Superdrug for only £4 when I was in London and have been trying it out. I like the thick felt tip applicator brush which makes it easy to create a steady thin or thick line. The formula for this liner is opaque/matte black, it goes on smoothly and dries quickly to prevent smudging. The only negative I can say is that I feel it doesn't stay black enough (goes slightly soft black) once applied, but hey for £4 I definitely think this is a good product!
