NOTD- Topshop Sparkles

Hello!
This is just a quick post to show you a NOTD with the two nail varnishes i picked up from the Topshop store on Oxford Street (Haul from that trip is available to read here).


On the day I bought two nail varnishes,one which is called Hypnotic which is a silver with a pink/blue duochrome effect which is from their recently released 'Sisters of The New Moon' collection and the other colour is called Razzmatazz! This shade is so incredible! It is packed full of holographic and silver glitter!As far as i know from reading other blogs,this is a brand new shade which has just been released and is part of their permanant collection!


Razzmattazz is really difficult to show you just how sparkly it is when the light hits the glitter! It is going to be a great colour for nights out! It does take about 3 coats to reach an opaque style covering, but although i haven't had a chance to try it yet, i think 1 coat over a base coat would look brilliant too!

Hypnotic is a really beautiful duochrome, one which really grows on you the longer you wear it. At first glance when i first applied it i was slightly disappointed and thought it was pretty average, however the more you look at it, you see the varying shades of blue/pink/grey/silver colours which can be seen under different lights. This has easily become one of my favourite shades and i didn't expect it to be at all! The colour is really wearable as it is in no way garish and in your face, but is still interesting enough that people will notice it when you wear it!

As you can see i have used the two colours in the way of where you have your ring finger a different colour to the rest, which i absolutely love doing as it is a subtle and easy way to change up your nail look, especially if you are absolutely awful at nail art like myself!

Hypnotic is part of a limited edition range so make sure you grab it quick!
Razzmatazz is priced at £6 and hypnotic is £6.50
Have you checked out or tried these colours or any other colours from the Topshop range? What types of shades of nail varnish do you like?

Topshop Eyeliner- Coal

Today's post is just a quick review of the Topshop Kohl eyeliner i recently purchased from my trip to London with my sister ( small haul post here)!
I picked up the black shade as i was desperate for a new basic black pencil eyeliner as previous ones have smudged like crazy! Ironically this shade is actually called coal!


I have used this a few times now and i have been rather impressed!Firstly the pigmentation is absolutely fantastic,it is a really pure black shade (which sounds silly but so many black eye products end up having such poor pigmentation!) and secondly the pencil itself is so soft, meaning you do not scratch your eyes or push hard to achieve a good colour!
I personally love using black eyeliner and have tried this on the lid as a base, as a liner on the top and bottom lids and also in the water line and i was pleasantly suprised with the staying power in each use. The bottom liner did smudge the first time i used it,but i used a primer underneath the next time i used it and it didn't budge!






I will definitely be picking up more of these and i hope they will be bringing out more shades!The brown is definitely next on my shopping list to buy!
The only negative i have about this product and also with a lot of the topshop products is the packaging. It is a really pretty pattern and is so lovely at the start with the white and black scheme,but after using it repeatedly for a while the white packaging ends up looking a bit doety. It's not the biggest problem in the world but me being slightly obsessive about my products,it does bother me a little!
Overall i would most definitely recommend picking up one of these to try,as it is brilliant quality,black eyeliner is such a staple product in anybody's make up set and the price is brilliant at just £4 available from the Topshop website here!


Have you tried any of the topshop products before?What is your favourite eyeliner products?

Trip To London- Small Haul!

Hello!
Thought i would write a quick post about my little adventure i took last Thursday up to London! I needed to try to cheer myself up as the last week has been terrible,so my sister and i grabbed the train up to London and had a wander around Regent,Oxford and Carnaby street!
I didn't manage to purchase that much as i don't have much money as my student loan doesn't come for another couple of weeks and also its soon my birthday and i have been given strict instructions to not buy too much incase people have bought things similar etc for present haha!
The few things i picked up were from Topshop and from their makeup collection which by the way is absolutely amazing in their Oxford Street store! I purchased two nail varnishes,one called Hypnotic which is a gorgeous silver with a pink/blue duochrome effect which is from their recently released 'Sisters of The New Moon' collection and the other colour is Razzmatazz! This shade is incredible as it is packed full of holographic and silver glitter!As far as i know,this is a brand new shade which has just been released and is part of their permanant collection!No doubt that NOTD's will be coming up with these!

Quick try of the colours!-Razzmatazz on the ring finger, Hypnotic on the others!

The other item i bought from Topshop is their kohl eye pencil in Coal which is black as i have heard wonderful things about it,and although i haven't actually had.a chance to try it on myself yet,when i swatched it instore it was really pigmented and super soft!

Even though i had hardly any money i had such fun swatching lots of different products!As you can see from my photos my hands were covered in all different colours! We went to all the different boots we could find, Selfridges- which is the most fun with the beauty hall,The MAC store on Carnaby street (which was packed!), and also managed to head to the PIXI store also on Carnaby street (which i was a tad disappointed in their customer service which put me off buying which is sad as the products looked lovely!) as well as all the different clothing stores in the area!
The beauty ladies at all the different stores were so lovely and i had to say especially the team at the Benefit on Carnaby street were so nice and we had such fun trying out all the products!


I had such a fun day and it really cheered me up!














I have a final question for you guys too! I really would like to invest in a YSL lip stain but i can only really afford to invest in one as they are around the £21 mark,i swatched a few colours i particularly liked but i would like to know which colour you prefer? Let me know in a comment below!

Which of these do you like best?

What are your favourite places to o in London?Where should i head to bect time i head up there?
