Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure Cherry Up Review

Hey everyone, I apologise so much for my absence from this blog! I've been really ill, but now I'm back, and today I'm reviewing my first ever Sally Hansen polish, Sally Hansen's Complete Salon Manicure polish in Cherry Up. 

As you can see, it's a gorgeous bright pink in the bottle, which is what drew me to it initially, although I do think that the name is misleading as this is certainly not a cherry colour, but that's not really a problem at all! 

This actually translates into a much darker fuschia colour on the nails, but it's still absolutely stunning and it's really unlike anything I own already. The formula is lovely, not too thin but not gloopy, just nicely in between, and the wear time is also brilliant, lasting around 4 days on me without a top coat. 

All in all, a complete 10/10 for me - I will definitely be buying more Sally Hansen polishes in future. 

What do you think?

See you next time!

My Favourite High Street Mascara

Hi everyone, today I'm going to be talking about my favourite mascara, which is.... Max Factor Clump Defy! 

If you want to know the reasons why I love this mascara so much, read on! 

Pretty Matte Purple Tube

The Wand!

Initially, it was actually the packaging and the name that drew me to this mascara as I was out of my old one and was sick to death of clumpy eyelashes. However, when I got it home and gave it a whirl... It turned out to be amazing! The formula is quite 'wet' which I prefer in a mascara as I always find they don't clump or dry out as easily, and it is a true carbon black (I hate grey-black mascara with a passion!). It was pretty much love at first use, but now it had to stand up to the day-long wear followed by work test (I work in a hot, humid kitchen by the way, so this is a pretty good test!) and it passed with flying colours! My lashes were still jet black, had held the curl, and there was no flaking! I was super impressed. Since then, this is the only mascara I've reached for, and it's not disappointed me! Here's a picture of what it looks like on...

As you can see, the wand separates all the lashes and catches all the little ones that bigger wands tend to miss, whilst lengthening and giving some volume to lashes. This mascara also builds nicely, so it can be taken from a really natural day time look to a night time look with just a couple of extra layers to add extra volume and length. 

All in all, I can't fault this mascara in any way. And although it's at the higher end of high street at £10.99, it's so worth it. 

See you all next week! 

Rimmel 3D Plumping Top Coat Review

Hey everyone! So I was wondering what to review for you all this week, and I decided on this little gem! Why? I haven't done a nail post in a while! 

Anyway, here it is:

Bottle

A (very messy) mani I did with it

This is my absolute saviour top coat. It prevents chipping, makes my polish last FOREVER and makes it super super shiny.

Above I have done a really quick mani using this top coat, and it really illustrates the high shine it gives to the nails. (This mani was done with 2True Fast Dry Polish in Shade 10) 

The formula is excellent, not too thick or too watery, and it dries really quickly, which everyone loves! 

There's not much else to say about this top coat really, apart from that in true Rimmel style, it's also really cheap at just £4.49. 

Bye all! 

P.s if you want a tutorial on how to do the mani (a neat version, I promise!) then just comment below!

Boots Hand and Nail Cream Review

Hey guys, so sorry this is late! (Again) anyway, today I'm going to be reviewing a product that isn't exactly exciting, but has become one of my holy grail items over the past few months! Enter: Boots Hand and Nail Cream for Very Dry Skin. 

Outer Packaging

Tube Top

Cream Out Of The Tube

This cream claims to be non-greasy, easy to absorb and leaves your hands feeling soft, smooth and supple. I'm very pleased to report that all of these are true! 

It may just be me, but I find that after massaging this into my hands for around 30 seconds, it's completely absorbed and I can start doing things straight away. The formula is very lightweight, and  gives my hands the burst of moisture they need without feeling like I've even got anything on my skin. It also has no smell whatsoever, which is a bonus for me as I hate chemical-smelling products!

This cost me just £1.32 from Boots and I recommend it highly-it's just as good as it's more expensive counterparts. 

See you all next week!
