March loves and hates

So I know i'm a little late on the march faves but i've only just got round to doing it! Instead of just doing my favourites this month I thought i'd do my loves and hates. So to begin!

Loves 


Firstly, O.P.I's nail envy! I'll admit, I used to be a nail biter and recently i've managed to stop! Yay, go me but yeah my nails are still pretty weak and there not used to being long, either that or i'm rubbish and alway break them! So I invested in this :) usually around £18.90 but I used my sallys card and manages to get it for £10, pretty good i'd say! It really works, and leaves your nails with a lovely shine! 


Daisy by marc jacobs! I got this for my birthday last year as its always been my favourite, but a few months ago it started to get really low. Not what I wanted to see! I had the tiniest little bit left in the bottle and I thought march was the month to finish it off, and that I did, so as you can see, i've well and truely finished it off :( I think I forgot how good it smelt! Defo need to repurchase.


Orly nail polish in frisky :) i've only recently just got this but it soon became one of my favourites. Its a really nice spring/summer colour and I can see i'll be getting alot of use out of this! RRP £9.25 :)


Another polish! w7's gold dazzle. Honestly this is the best nail polish I have ever bought, I can not stress enough how amazing this is, 2 coats and you have a full coverage of this glitter gold, along with a top coat it looks the bee's knee's :) great for a night out. I bought mine from boyes, I'm not sure if boyes is just a local shop or what but this was for an amazing price of £1.90. Its so good I picked it up in purple and silver too :) 


This is a cheat really cause its two! But I managed to pick my two favourite brushes from the real techniques collection. The powder brush and the buffing brush, both of them work together amazingly leaving my foundation looking its best. I imagine everyone's tried the real techniques brushes already but if not I recommend rushing to the shops to buy these.


Rimmel's stay matte pressed power in 001 transparent! I think this will always be my daily face power, no matter what else I try I always seem to go back to this, I recently bought a clinique colourless face powder but even that doesn't seem to compare. with that being about £25 and this being £4 i'm not complaining! 


I've recently jumped on the collection 2000 band wagon and bought the well raved about concealer and i'm extremely glad I did! I bought a mac concealer not long ago and this one beats it. With this being around the 4 pound mark its a steal :) can't recommend this enough! 


Mac's chatterbox. This was my first mac lipstick and it wont be my last! Its a bit brighter than expected but as long as I have natural eye make-up on I think it works well :) 

Hates


Superdrugs own dry shampoo in chocolate brownie. I heard everyone rave about this product so I thought i'd give it a try. I wish I never did, it does nothing for my hair, leaves it looking worse than it did when I started! I'll admit the smell is pretty damn nice but that's the only thing I like about it.


Lynx for women. When I saw this first came out I needed to try it! i've always loved the smell of lynx and wished I could get away with smelling like a boy :) but I can't so when this came out I was expecting big things for this, but its nothing special.. The smells okay I suppose but its a bit strong. I don't know if i'm the only one but it does absolutely nothing for me! I won't be bothering again. 



VO5's give me texture powder. Again i'd heard a lot about this so thought it would be good, gave it a try and again I was disappointed :( it left my hair feeling awful! Greasy and after it was sooo hard to get my god damn brush through my hair. I don't know if its just me but I don't like this at alllll. 

  

Revlon photo ready foundation in 002 vanilla. I'm one for trying out good drug store brand foundations cause to me you can never have enough foundations and I get sick of splashing out on high end ones. I was expecting good things from this one when I bought it but i'm really not a fan. The coverage is quite light, which is okay if thats what you like but I like a good coverage. Not only that is it left my face looking really dry and scaley. I definitely wasn't photo ready.

So there we have it, my march loves and hates. A rather long post from me there, my bad! But I hope you liked :) 

b'bye
