UK beauty goodies...

So, I been back from Glasgow for about a week now...but once you're back at work, vacations seem like lifetime ago.

I didn't make it to Superdrug, (tear) but I did end up in Boots....so this is what I picked up.



First off, I do have a slight nail polish "obsession"....so I was thrilled to see that "Models Own" have their own nail polish collection. I love this line....I picked up the red colour for my good friend Cocamia, and the other two for myself. I have yet to try the black "shatter" effect. (That will be my next manicure). Very excited.
Ok, so I'm a big fan of dry shampoo. Especially "Batiste". I tell my clients (who wash their hair everyday) to purchase this. That being said, I have only seen two scents of Batiste in Canada...original (love) and tropical (not so much). I was beyond thrilled to see other scents such as "boho" and "diva". The larger bottle is dry shampoo with a hint of colour. There wasn't one for redheads, so I picked up the brunette.




I also picked up a lip colour from No7. This is from their collaboration with lipstick guru Poppy King. it goes on pretty sheer which I love...I wish that I had bought more!
Thanks to all the UK beauty bloggers for your suggestions...they came in very handy!

White, Coral and Floral...

There's three things in fashion that let me know that Summer is around the corner:  White, Coral and Floral.



Even though I don't wear a ton of white, coral or floral...it still makes me happy to see them in the stores and on the streets. When done well, they can really look amazing!











Not to mention that Coral is the hottest nail colour of the season!








After a long Canadian winter, I find them really refreshing!

eyeshadows and nails

I recently purchased a 15 shade colour palette from BH cosmetics. (I had never tried anything from them before, but I knew the were popular for their eyeshadow palettes, with like 100 colours on them).







What I LOVED about this 15 colour palette is that you can pick your own shades and textures. I took my time trying to find the perfect combo for me. (Looking back, I did pick too many browns though).



When I received the palette however, I felt that I a few shades weren't true to the colour online. (I know that this may be hard to do, but I did feel a little let down). I really like the consistency of their matte shadows. I found the shimmery ones a little too flaky.



Overall, I'm pretty happy with the palette for BH cosmetics. The palette itself is pretty sturdy, and I think that it will take me a while before I finish each shade.  Again, I really liked the concept of choosing your own colours. I would love to hear peoples feedback on BH cosmetics, because I've never had any of their products until now.





I also wanted to show you another look that I did with my nails. I wanted something understated, with a little "rock'n'roll".



What do you think? It's a little "Gwen Stefani", non?

I keep my nails pretty short for work, so this would look better on slightly longer nails....but you get the idea.



nails: Essie "Smoking Hot" (one of my all-time fav)

tips:  Essie "Stealing the scene"
