Mini Essie Haul

Essie Apricot Cuticle Oil 15ml RRP £10.50
Essie Fill The Gap 15ml RRP £10.95
Essie Tour De Finance 15ml RRP £8.50

I'm sorry I haven't updated much recently, i've been busy seeing friends most of the time recently and I haven't had much chance to blog. However i'm currently planning lots of posts which i'm excited about and hope to publish in the next few days. My nails have been breaking a lot lately so I thought i'd give this cuticle oil and fill the gap base coat a try. I've only tried them both once and I'll update when i've used them more. But so far the cuticle oil smells lovely and goes on easily. The base coat makes a smooth base for polish and doesn't make my nail polish bubble which i'm really pleased about. I also bought this Essie nail polish in this gorgeous shade called Tour De Finance. I first tried Essie nail polish when I got the Essie Mini Bright Collection for my birthday and I really liked the bottle design and pigment of the colours. So when I seen Tour De Finance it reminded me of the Bright Collection I got so couldn't resist buying it! I love the colour and I was going to post a picture but my nails ended up chipping straight away so i'm kind of disappointed. I'm gonna give it another try with a different top coat and see what its like. 

Beauty Haul: Brand Make Up in Pound Shops?

I spontaneously decided to go into Poundworld to look at the make up and nail polish as I'd seen other blogs posting about finding trusted brands in pound shops.

Bourjois Bio Detox Organic Anti-Puffiness Concealer (RRP £7.99)

I managed to find Bourjois concealer for £1 however it is in shade No.3 Mat - Hàlé which is bronze to dark. I don't have dark skin however it'll be useful for when I fake tan. Its currently in Boots for £7.99 so its definitely a bargain whether I use it or not. 

L.A. Colors Nails Art Deco (Not available in UK stores)

I was going to buy these from ebay or amazon a few weeks ago for about £3 each with shipping but decided not to. I'm so glad I didn't as I got three for £3 and I got to see the colours properly. The colours I have are White, Black and Baby Pink. I haven't tried them yet but if they're good I may have to buy some of the other colours and glitter ones.

Sinful Colors & NYC Nail Polish (Sinful Colors is not available in UK stores)

I moved over to the nail polishes and found a Sinful Colors nail polish in shade All Mighty for £1. This is my second Sinful Colors nail polish as I got shade Smoking Hot (which I love!) on holiday in Spain. So I was pleased when I seen they sold Sinful Colors nail polish. I'm going to keep checking back to see if there's any more shades as this was the only shade I could find. I've never found the brand in any UK stores before just online where its around £3-4 a bottle.

NYC Nail Polish (RRP £1.79 each)

Another nail polish brand I like is NYC (New York Color) which they sold. These two nail polishes were together in a plastic sleeve. The one on the left looks black but its more dark purple/grey its called Chinatown. The one on the right is actually a glitter top coat called Big City Dazzle. I'm wearing Big City Dazzle right now and its a lovely purple/pink/blue glitter top coat! Great additions to my NYC nail polish collection.

So overall I got all of this for £6! I definitely recommend hunting in pound shops for make up from now on!
