Body Shop Vitamin E Cool BB Cream

For a long time, the Body Shop's Vitamin E range has been one of my favourites, and recently I've been trying out the Vitamin E Cool BB cream. This product retails for £10, and is available online and instores.

I've tried it a few times now and can't manage to work into my skin so it looks nice. I find that once applied it sinks in and exaggerates the pores and lines of my skin, and leaves my skin looking patchy. I've tried applying it with my fingers, my real techniques stippling brush, and also the expert face brush, with the same patchy result each time. It also seems to almost ball up along the jaw and hair line instead of blending out. Not a good look!

I've also found the colouring of this BB cream to be off, it appears very orange, even on my currently more tanned skin, and can't be blended out to make it more wearable. 

Overall I was really disappointed my this product. I'm such a huge fan of a lot of the other products in this range, especially the intense moisture cream, so this was such a disappointing product.

NOTD: Bikini so Teeny

For my Easter weekend mani, I decided to used Essie's Bikini so Teeny. This is a beautiful periwinkle blue/purple, with subtle shimmer in it. This polish is an amazing colour for spring and summer, and is one I'll be reaching for a lot. 

The only downside to this polish is that it can go a bit streaky when applying a top coat, even after it's dried completely, but it's still an amazing colour. 

Happy Easter

NOTD: You're Such A Budapest

OPI You're Such a Budapest is a light periwinkle purple with very subtle shimmer in it. It's such a flattering spring shade which looks amazing on both the hands and feet.

Hope you're having a great day.

Spring Nail polish picks

Spring means it's time for pinks and purples. Out with dark colours and in with the bright.  Here's a few of my favourites for this spring.

NOTD: Chasing Rainbows

I recently treated myself to a new glitter polish, OPI's Chasing Rainbows was a polish I knew I needed the moment I saw swatches to it, and it didn't let me down. 

It's a dupe for Rainbow Connection from the previous Muppets Christmas collection, and is packed full of multi-sized rainbow coloured glitter. 

I applied one coat over OPI Live.Love.Carnaval from the new Brazil collection and I love it!
