Superdrug Virtual Haul

Hi there!

I regularly look through Superdrug website adding endless amounts of wanted (maybe not always needed) make-up and accessories to my basket. After then seeing a blog post from another beauty blogger showing her basket from Superdrug of make-up products she wants, I decided to give it a go!

I'll be honest, when I started adding products to my basket I didn't realise quite how much I was adding, it had got up to almost £100 so thought it was about time to cut it down a bit. Somehow I managed to half the price right back to below £50, still a lot of money to spend on un-needed make-up but hey, this can be a sort of wish list for me I suppose!

Barry M Kohl Pen 2 Black: Now I know I said that most of the things I added to my basket were not actually needed but this one is one of the ones that is. My eyeliner at the moment is running right down and I think as the cooler seasons come I'll be wearing pencil liner a lot more. I do wear eyeliner during the summer however feel that warmer weathers tend to make eyeliner more susceptible to smudging. Barry M is also one of my favorite make-up brands ever so picking this was an easy choice, especially at only £2.99.

Barry M Lip Lacquer Crayon 4 Party Pink: As soon as I saw this I knew it was going in my basket to stay. I absolutely love this color and can imagine the powerful pigment it will give you. Again a Barry M product that I couldn't resist at the price of £4.99.

 

Barry M Nail Paint 136 Tangerine and Barry M Nail Paint Gold Mine Glitter: At £2.99 Barry M nail paints are my favorite nail polish brand, I have started up a little collection of Barry M Nail Paints and plan to add many, many more!

Barry M Wink Marker Pen For Eyes: The last of my Barry M products is the felt liner. I've seen this a few times in Superdrug stores and always opted for something else for reasons that I really don't know! However I would really love to try this and being £4.59 its certainly on the cheaper end of felt eyeliners.

Collection Concealer Lasting Perfection Light: Collection is again a favorite make-up brand and this concealer has been raved about by so many beauty YouTubers and bloggers I really need to give it a go. I think this might be one of my next concealers I buy. Collection have one of the cheapest yet brilliant range of products, this is only £3.69 at the moment!

Maybelline Baby Lips Balm Minty and Cherry Me: Again another product which has high ratings from beauty YouTubers are these lip balms. They are 2 for £5 so grab them while you can!

Real Techniques Foundation Brush: I have needed a foundation brush for absolutely ages, at the moment (skip the next bit if you're a serious make-up guru!) I just use my fingers. I know these brushes are a little more expensive, this is £8.99 however I have heard some really, really great reviews about this range.

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation True Ivory and Rimmel Stay Matt Pressed Powder Peach Glow: I thought I'd put these 2 together as well, I feel they go together really! Again more raved about products I would love to try. The foundation is £8.99 and the powder £3.99 although at the minute they are buy one and get the second half price so go, go, go!

Sleek Blush Flamingo: The last product of this post is a Sleek blusher, this seems like a really lovely and complimentary color, its only £4.49 and seems like a blusher that would last a while.

I really hope you've enjoyed this post as I've never tried anything like it before, I've definitely loved going through the Superdrug website clicking away and adding endless amounts of make-up to my basket. Hopefully this will act as my wish list and as I buy the products I can review and share what I think of them with you.

Don't forget to check out my other post, comment and like them as I love to hear what you think too!

Barry M Gelly Nails | Review

Hi there!

I finally did it, I went out and bought myself a Barry M Gelly Nail Paint. I've been wanting one of these for ages and to be honest just never got round to actually buying one. I was out shopping in London yesterday with some friends and went into Topshop and saw the Barry M stand they have and just couldnt resist, so here it it... Barry M Gelly Nail Paint!

I really couldn't decide on the colour as I have a lot of Barry M Nail Vanishes already so wanted something a little different so I got it in the colour 325 Greenberry.

I'll be honest I didn't really expect much difference between the Gelly Nail Paint and just the normal Nail Paint despite the great reviews from everyone but don't worry, I was certainly proved wrong! I love how shiny and glossy the finish is and how easy it is to apply. I was expecting gloopy, sticky paint which took forever to dry but it went on so smoothly and effortlessly! Barry M defintely lived up to the expectations, well... when don't they?

Barry M Eyeshadow Brush | Review

Hi there!

It's review time again and this post is all about the fabulous Barry M Eyeshadow brush!

I'll be honest with you, I don't have a wide variety of brushes for make-up as I tend to not really stick to the make-up rules and use my fingers for foundation and concealer. However after purchasing the MUA Eyeshadow Palette whose review can be found here and ideas for this palette can be found here, I decided that I needed to look into brushes to help create a more professional look and Barry M was the one!

I'll be honest, the reason I picked the Barry M brand was down to the fact that I absolutely LOVE their nail vanishes. Now I know that nail vanishes and brushes will be different within each brand and the quality will vary however I still went with it and I'm glad I did!

Another reason I went with this eyeshadow brush was down to the fantastic price, at only £2.99 it was an absolute bargain!

Overall I am extremely impressed with this brush, I love how soft and smooth the bristles are and how well they blend together power eyeshadow. I would definitely recommend you go for this brush!

Barry M Nail Art | Ideas

Hi there!

Well this is my first blog post and I thought I'd start of with something I really love - nail art! Nail art has been something that I have been doing for a few years now and I admit I'm not the best at it but you don't have to be to enjoy it! Here are some of the ones I have created myself...

This is one of my favourite designs and for many reasons, one being its so easy to do, you just paint a base colour and then paint on some simple heart shapes. It's also one of my favourites because its a deigns that you can experiment with a lot, you can mix and match colours and use a lot of variety. The colours I used here were 'Barry M Matt White 66' for the base, 'Barry M Blueberry 306' and 'Barry M Berry I/C 308'. Its a great simple design to start of with if you want a quick and easy look.

This again is one of my favourite designs, I love the sparkle and glitzy look that they give. Again its an easy design to achieve with just two Barry M nail vanishes, for this I used 'Barry M Magenta Glitter 336' and 'Barry M Aqua Glitter 340'. I love these glitter polishes however I do think they are easier to use if you just want a sparkly top layer and not a full glitter nail, this way they take a longer time to dry and can smudge quite easily, all in all though they are still a great nail vanish!

This again is a really simple design that takes no time at all. Its a good way to jazz up your nails without a lot of effort. Again its also nice because you can pick a lot of different colours to create many different looks. For this I used 'Barry M Bright Pink 279', 'Barry M Matt White 66' and 'Barry M Spring Green 290'.

This is the final design for this post and I thought I'd end it with a bit of a more adventurous kind of look? This (I know I've probably said this for all of them) is one of my absolute favourites, I love the different textures and colours and I think again its quite an easy look to achieve. For the I used 'Barry M Matt White 66', 'Barry M Nail Effects 311' and 'Barry M Magenta Glitter 336'.

I really hope that you've enjoyed my first attempt at this and hopefully there is going to be loads more to come. As you have probably guessed I am a bit of a Barry M fan, I absolutely LOVE their nail vanishes, they have amazing colour choices and they are at a fab price! If you have any questions on how some of the designs were actually made and want me to go over them in a bit more detail then feel free to comment or contact me through twitter and I'll have a go!
