OPI The Amazing Spiderman mini collection + some essentials

Hey dolls,


The other week I went into Sally's when they had a NO VAT day. Those are the best day cos you can get so much for so little. I got quite a "few" items. So keep a look out for those blog posts coming up.

 Spiderman Mini Collection - £6.40

 L-R: Into the Night, Number One Nemesis, Just Spotted the Lizard!, Your Web or Mine?


Swatches:
(The writing under each name is the description on the box)
 Into the Night
This perfect midnight blue was made for prowling.

 Number One Nemesis
Show your metal in this sparkling nickel.

 Just Spotted the Lizard!
Be seen in this reptilian yellow-green.

Your Web or Mine?
The perfect pink for sticky situations.
Each nail polish requires 2 coats to be nice and opaque. 

I wish I had bought the full size bottles of Into the night, Number one nemesis and Your web or mine cos I really like them. I'm not a fan of Just spotted the lizard. I might have to pop into Sally's and pick them up.

Essentials

I'm really into looking after my nails and wanted to try some new products. Here's what I picked up.

China Glaze Nail strengthener & Growth formula - £5.19
I've started using this as a base before my base coat. I have seen a slight improvement in my nails. I'm gonna keep using this for a while and see how I  get on.

OPI Top Coat and OPI Natural Nail Base Coat - £4.85 each
I've always wanted to try OPI top and base coats but never got round to purchasing them. As everyone knows you need a good base coat to stop staining and a good top coat to make your nail polish last longer. I think that these are gonna become fast favourites of mine.

Go to: Face Moisturiser

Hi dolls,

Simple products have always been my go to skin care products for longer than I can remember. I try different products but  I always go back to Simple. So I used to use these moisturisers when I first started using Simple and then I switched to the day and night cream. I 've been using Avon moisturisers but I just haven't gelled with them.So I went shopping for the day and night cream but something drew me to these ones. And I'm glad I picked them up.Its nice to go back to an old favourite.

I use the Light moisturiser for during the day and the rich one in the evening.

My entire face routine consists of Simple products.I did a post on the products I use here.


Light moisturiser - £3.79
Rich moisturiser - £3.89

What is your go to moisturiser?

If you've followed my blog for a while you would've noticed that I love the supershock duo e/s pencils. I've done posts on the ones I've purchased here, here and here,

They're very creamy and pigmented and last pretty much all day. Although they're eyeshadows I use them as eyeshadow bases and eyeliner.

 
 Lucky Penny                    Gold Vision
 Catalogue price - £6

These are 2 new autumnal metallic shades from Nailwear Pro+
The colour lasts up to 12 days - now I've never worn nail polish for longer than 3 days but if you're one of those people that don't like to change you're nail polish often this will be a good choice for you. They are also nick-resistant and are fortified with acrylic gel strength which is a plus.

These polishes need 2 coats to be completely opaque.

 Swatches:

 Gold Vision

Halloween Cookie Cutters

I couldn't resist these when I saw them. It comes with 4 different cutters:

I'll definitely be using these at Halloween.
