Kardashian, Kolour Kollection!


"Hey Dolls"
(Kardashian-stylie Review)

Okay so today I'm Reviewing my "Kardashian Kollection- Nicole by OPI" Nail Polish Goodies today.

After buying these out in the states i knew they'd become my favourites straight away... The whole OPI collection is so so Pigmented, Bright & Glitzy & Great for Summer, which is on its way
(slowly but surely)

Right to Left...


"All Kendalled Up"

Pink, pink and more pink! What more can i say? This is such a Vibrant summery colour. You only need one coat which is Great & it stays bright & shiny for days. If your looking for a Fun-Fuchsia,
get all Kendalled-up!

"Kim-Pleatly in Love"Such a Sweet & Delicate shade with a glitzy/glam finish. This colour is great for either day or night & can also be used as a topcoat which is a bonus! Its Light, Creamy Pink and Nude colours would go perfectly with any outfit and add a little glam with a sparkly finish.. perfect!

"A Million Sparkles"Blue's, pink's & Silver Glitters with a Bright blue base. Now this is a Summer colour, with a kick!
It does what it says on the tin really... adds Millions on Sparkles (who doesn't love that)
This is a Great colour to either Build up on it own or add as a topcoat to another colour to create your own Glitzy shade. Its Bright, Bold, Blue & Brilliant!!

"Follow me on Glitter"This Steal, silver, glittery colour proves that you can wear your darkest shade and still be as glam as ever! This shade is made up of (Red's, green's and Blue circle glitters) with a smaller Black, grey, coal & silver glitter polish to add an amazing base coat, Trust me if you wear this your nails shine like diamonds..
..

These Girly, Glam colours definitely a must summer essential... Plus I know that they are maybe double the price of your normal nail polish but trust me, these are a great buy!

-Retail at around  £14.00 (Online/UK)  $7.04 (Target/USA)

Let me know what you think...

Teeze a Tangle or Two!


Helloo,

Okay so i have decided i am going to be Reviewing my literally "All-Time"
(and i mean all-time) Favourite Hair Product Gadget/Thingy-mi-jiggy.
Right so seen as i have Naturally Long, Thick, Very Curly Hair i have Alwaysssssss struggled with Knots and Luggs & Matte's which are definitely NO FUN!
I used to sit for Hours & hours after a shower brushing/combing my hair with endless different style's of brushes but never found a brush that wouldn't just rip the knots from my achy head :(

But thennn...
I stumbled across the "Tangle Teezer" Hmmm,
As i had never used it before i didn't really know which style was best for me, but as i was heading on holiday i decided i would buy the "Compact Styler Sweetheart" Tangle Teezer
(Which is a Hand-size style with a Summery Red/Glittery Design)
Perfect for my Jollies!

At First i was a little Sceptical as i couldn't see how this little (strangely shaped brush-type-thing) was ever going to battle my luggy hair.

How Wrong was I!!The first time i used it i didn't really understand it as the tiny bristles felt like they wasn't even combing my hair, but after a while i got the hang of it...
Its sooo much easier, ALOT less painful & takes half the time which is a Bonus.
Its the perfect size to Pop in your bag and use when your hair is Wet or dry which is also great,

I Literally advise every single girl to invest in one of these as its definitely my Best-Beauty-Buy of 2012 & i cant wait too treat myself to another seen as they keep bringing out all of these Beautiful designs.
But All-in-all this is a Amazingg product & so so practical, (as well as being a high street bargain)
i cant big it up enough to be honest, so yeah..

-Retails at around £10.99-£12.49 (Compact Styler & Large size)
-Available from Beauty stores (Boots, Superdrug ect)

Go treat yourself!

Clarisonic vs Wave...#headtohead

Clarisonic Mia 2  vs  Neutrogena wave


Good-Morninggg..

Well I've been up Extra early this morning & its Freeeezing "brrr", Decided too make an extra strong cup of tea and Write another review, This time on two of my Favourite beauty gadgets. Every Girl deserves a smooth cleansed face but the hard work begins when you look at the "exfoliate/cleanser isle" at your local beauty store and your baffled, how are you ever supposed to know whats what & whats best! Especially when some are £2-£5 and others are £15-£20 :/ ughh i hate all that bother.
Well today I'm going to focus on the actual Cleanser & what too look out for and what give a miss...

Firstly I'm going to start by reviewing the "Neutrogena Wave Duo" (Handheld Cleanser). I started using this product when i was Sixteen when i started getting quite a few spots, i didn't really no what i was looking for but this looked quite interesting and i don't think there was very many more of these type of products on the market then, especially not on my budget anyway. After the first use i was very pleased with my skin, it was clean, smooth & radiant, everything you expect from a cleanser i guess, i continued using it for a couple of weeks and i did the job great, cleared my spots up and cleansed my skin.The only two problem's i would say i had with this product is that if you don't clean your face properly before use you will find it just spreads dirt around your face & it doesn't reach inside your pours as its a flat pad & works more with your black-heads. All-in all i would say this Cleanser is great if your on a Budget & you want a great high street bargain.

Pro's- Exfoliating pads work great towards Black-heads, Travel size, Softens skin.
-
Con's- Can just spread dirt around you face, doesn't clean inside pours.


Next iv going to be reviewing the "Clarisonic Mia 2" facial exfoliating cleanser. Okay so iv heard alot about these (good&bad) but iv got to say iv wanted one for so so long so & whilst i was on Holiday in LA last year i decided to treat myself for my Eighteenth which was a bonus as i also saved money by getting it over there (apposed to online). They do have different styles with more settings and motions but i decided to get this classic one with just two speeds & soft brush.
I was really impressed after my first use as my skin have Never felt so good, i couldn't stop touching it (which is bad haha) It got to the point where i couldn't wait to use it which is great! Even though this is alot more pricier than the "Wave" i do think its worth it, the wave is alot more practical but the Clarisonic seemed to work deeper into my pours and vanish spots #bonus

Pro's- Cleans deep into your pours, Vanishes spots, Super smooth afterwards
-
Con's- Quite Expensive, Not easy to get hold of in the Uk
      


So yeah,
All-in-all
I'm going to have to say the "Clarisonic Mia 2" wins my vote, (but what can you expect with the price difference), but i also think the "Wave" is a great high-street bargain & worth £9.99

what are your views? Let me know..

One for the Girls, with Curls...

 
Umberto Giannini- Flirty Curls Scrunching Jelly


Hello Lovelies…

Okay so on this Very Chilly, Boring Wednesday afternoon (When i should really be getting ready for work "Shhh") I’v decided to give you another one of my “Favorites of the Week” this week as I’m new too this (Blogging business)..

My Second Fave is a Hair product by “Umberto Giannini” from his New (Curl Friends) range. The Product itself is called “Flirty Curls Scrunching Jelly”. Its a Hair Sirum too be used after Washing your hair to Define and De-frizz your Lovely Curls!

(I’m not quite sure if this Product can be used on Non-Naturally curly hair as it could be too heavy& give it a slight Greasy look! #noGo)

Retailed at around £4.79 i think this product is a Great Bargain! i Personally have (VERY Curly) hair so this is an Amazing Tamer& De-Frizzer.
The Application is Very easy and you only need a Small amount for all your Locks.

How I Use This Product-


I Tend to Tip my hair Upside-down, Scrunch for a few minutes (allow to dry a little), Use my Basic Hair moose to stop the Frizz & then Finally apply the Sirum by rubbing it into my hands and scrunching my hair..
(The only problem i had was that if you use too much your hair drys a little bit Hard and Crispy so only use a Small amount for the best result)

All-in-all this Product is FAB for all you “Naturally Curled Girls” out there..


-Retails at around £4.79 (Travel Size Bottle)
-Available from all Drug/Beauty stores (Boots, Superdrug ect)

Let me know what you think of this Product & Leave me of Commet of what your Favorite Hair Product is & i'll give it a Try...


Have a Lovely Wednesday!

Effect Nail Paint's (Yey or Nay) ?

Nails Inc - Magnetic Polish
 


Hellooo…

OK So This is my Firsttttt Review & i’v decided to Review -
“Nails Inc- Magnetic Polish” In the “Trafalgar Square” Silver/Grey Shade.

So i’d Heard a few things about these new “Effect” Nails Polishes (Crackle, Shatter, Croc etc) good & bad, but this Magnetic one sounded quite exciting!!
So after a little research i decided to Pop into Debenhams & Grad a bottle (Retails at around £13.00), at first i was a little weary as its VERY! Expensive for a Medium size bottle of Nails Polish (well for me anyway!) BUT when i got home and tried it……..

Oh My Goshh!!!
In lovee, In lovee, In loveeee.. This Polish is by far one of my All time Favorites!
I was actually Shocked by how Strong the Effect was!

Iv also had a lot of Great feedback and comments off People so i Advise you go Grab your self a Bottle as a Treat for the Weekend!

-Retails at around £13.00
-Sold at most Department Stores that Stock “Nails Inc”
-Shades Include (Big Ben, House of Parliament & Trafalgar Square)

Let me Know what you think…

First Post... #learning


Helloo..

Okay so this is my Very-First Post so I'm not really sure what I'm doing haha..
My Name is Holly, I'm Eighteen years old & I'm from a City in England called Manchester.

I Thought i would set-up this "Review-Blog" so that i could Test and Review new Beauty Products on the High-street today. I find it Sooo Annoying when you buy a Rather Pricey new product & it ends up being nothing you thought (which has happened ALOT!)...

I Love, love, lovee reading Blog Posts from other Bloggers such as "Zoella(Zoe), BeautyCrush(Sam), Sprinkle of Glitter(Louise), MacBarbie07(Beth), FleurDeForce(Fleur) & Tanya Burr" Especially when then Review a product which means i get too see exactly what its like (& if its worth buying) before Actually buying!!

I think its a Great idea as its like being able too test the product before spending your Pennies.
So here goes...

I'll start off by Reviewing One of my All-Time Favourites Beauty Products every couple of days.
So be sure too Follow, Subscribe & Share with your Friends too Keep-up with all the
Best-Beauty-Bargains!

xoxo
