REVIEW: Maybelline nail varnish

Morning Guys! 

So I recently popped into Boots and picked up this lovely new nail varnish. I've needed a new nail varnish for a while now and I loved the colour of this one. I love bright colours and so this one seemed perfect for a bold summer look. 

I found that although I would use these nail varnishes again it tried slightly too quickly and so was a bit difficult to try and get an even coat. 

I think all of the Maybelline products are reasonably priced 

I picked up a few other pieces from Boots so perhaps I'll be doing a little haul video very soon ;) 

Overall, I am pleased with this nail varnish. I usually choose Barry M and think that I do prefer their varnishes slightly more. 

Let me know if you've tried these varnishes, what do you think of them? I'm also going shopping tomorrow so let me know of any products I need to be picking up.

REVIEW: Ted Baker - Ready for my close up

Hi! 

So I recently tried the Ted Baker - Ready for my close up makeup. Firstly, I thought that the little box that it came in was lovely. I've never tried the Ted Baker makeup range before but have always loved their other products.  

I opted to go for the light pink box set which was called Matinee because I thought the other colours would be a bit too dark for a lovely sunny day! 

I used a little bit of the blusher (not too much as my skin is quite pale) and also the light brown lip gloss that is joined onto the pinky one. 

I did love the colour and would probably use it again. However, I am not someone that would usually go for a lip gloss as I find them too sticky. 

I paired this with my grey eyeshadow by No7 which I love, I am running out so I think it might be a trip to the shops today!

I know it can be hard to see eyeshadow with glasses (anyone else with glasses have that problem?) but I still like to put some on as it gives me a little bit more confidence. 

Overall, Although I like the colour of the lip gloss I don't think it would be enough to swerve me from my trusty lipstick. I will however be using the blusher again as I have no problems with that.

Let me know what you think is best, do you prefer a lipstick or lip gloss?
