My Boyfriend Does My Make-Up!

A few weeks ago I hit 1000 subscribers on my blog, which is very amazing! Thank you everyone for sticking by me and my little blog, I really appreciate you all and love chatting with you guys in the comments (I always reply, so make sure you check back!). To celebrate I wanted to do something a little bit different, so decided to get my boyfriend involved and get him to do my make-up. I really hope you enjoy the video and have a good laugh at my expense!

NOTD: Who new H&M had such beauties!

I've known for a long time that H&M have sold beauty products, but after dabbling a little bit into them around a year ago I'd decided they weren't quite for me. But whilst in there shopping (for bra's of all things!) I spotted this beautiful blue glitter polish and couldn't pass it up! And it's opened my mind again to their beauty products - I will definitely be having a look at what other nail polishes they have to offer! 




On My Nails 
2True Colour Quick Nail Polish - Shade 2 
H&M Glitter Nail Polish - Blue 




My Thoughts 
First off the 2True Nail Polishes are actually really good, I have a few and have been impressed with all of them - would you believe this is just one coat. Not bad for a polish that costs £1.99 (Superdrug). The H&M polish was also really pretty, again with just one coat. Although not as easy to remove as standard cream polishes, this is a whole lot better than standard glitter polishes as the glitter strands are so thin. The glitter does have a blue base, but I would strongly advise putting a coloured base underneath! 




It feels like forever since I've written on my blog, but rest assured my last exam is tomorrow after which regular blogging will resume! I have so so much I want to blog about, so be warned an influx of posts may arrive in your reading list! But until then, thanks for stopping by :)

NOTD: BarryM Sequin Nail Effects - Black

It's not often that I fail to find anything positive to say about a product, but I've found something that's left me stumped for good words. Usually I can find some positives even in products I don't like, but this time around all I can say is at least this was a cheap product! BarryM are a brand that generally I'm a big fan of, so it pains me to write this, but as you know honesty is my policy! 





The Basics
BarryM are totally on the ball at the moment with new products and ideas, most of which seem very exciting.  I'll be honest, in the bottle the Sequin Nail Effects look beautiful, but once I'd seen swatches I wasn't convinced. Three shades in total were released, Black, Pink & White. Pink & White both have multi-coloured glitter in them, with the black just having gold glitter in it. They are also textured, so mixing up two trends here! They are available from Boots & Superdrug for £3.99.




What did I think? 
You already know what I think, but I do need to explain why. Lets start with the application and how awkward it was, you kinda need to pat it on. It didn't take too long to dry, but I decided to leave it as one coat (could've done with two in all honesty). Once dried I noticed that the texture part of the polish was quite uneven (very unlike their actual textured polishes which are beautiful). Also unlike BarryM's textured Nail Pains these felt horrible and rough on the nails - I've already taken it off! I recon you could light a non-safety match on them (please don't try!). And finally removal was a nightmare - I went through 16 cotton pads, no exaggeration! 




I always feel bad writing negative posts as I know someones put a lot of time (and probably money) into developing the product. But lying wouldn't be doing anyone any favours. But don't let this put you off of BarryM they have some brilliant products! Thanks for stopping by, Hannah
