Haul For My Dry Skin + A Link To A Video I Found On Youtube With Tips For Dry Skin!

My skin has really been suffering from dry skin this winter so here are a few things I bought this weekend to try and help my poor skin! 


Primer - I haven't ever really used primer before as my make-up usually stays on quite well, however in order to try and create a nice smooth base, so that I can try and avoid my foundation sticking to try patches of skin I have invested in a primer, I did some research and this Stay Perfect primer had really good reviews so I decided that this would work well for me.. 

Toner - I love simple, and if I am buying skincare I will usually start with Simple as its a great stepping stone into skincare, I am hoping the oxidants in this will help my skin hold some moisture and therefore stop it from drying out, plus this one is alcohol free which is always a plus as products with alcohol in can sometimes be drying on the skin. 

Foundation - I have been looking for a good foundation for dry skin and I have been lusting after Nars Sheer Glow however its so expensive and from what I have read Revlon's Colorstay is meant to be fabulous, so I bought the Revlon Colorstay foundation in Buff for Dry/Normal Skin and it was a perfect match for my skin colour, however this foundation really didn't work for me, it doesn't really blend into my skin and clung to my dry skin ( I even had a friend ask me what was wrong with my foundation!! Not happy about that) it just looked really thick on my face. So I think this was a waste of money for me and I actually gave it to my sister and she has loved it and has Normal Skin, so it wasn't a complete waste)

Night Cream - A friend of mine who is having the same dry skin problem as me recommended this Night Cream and said its fabulous so I can't wait to try it as I only bought it today!

Sponge- Apparently if you have dry skin its better to apply your foundation with a damp sponge so I have just ordered this sponge from real techniques.

Review: Rimmel 60 seconds nail varnish in Mind The Gap, Victoria.

Review : Rimmel 60 seconds mail varnish in Mind The Gap, Victoria. 

The bright light blue nail polish is really lovely, the  Rimmel 60 seconds range is fab partially as they all have quite large brushes meaning one swipe pretty much covers my whole nail and although I don't think it dries in 60 seconds it does dry faster than most other polishes, 

I would suggest doing two coats though as it is quite a thin nail polish- this doesn't really bug me as I would usually do two coats however if you wanted a one coat nailing polish this probably isn't it 

At £3 I think this is a bargain because I can use it relentlessly and feel as if it will lash ages!! It's a perfect spring hue it's making me hopeful that sunnier days are on their way !!

Acrylic Nails

So I've recently decided to get acrylic nails, I've never normally been a fan but I thought I would give it a go to divert my attention from my horrid winter nails. 

We all know that the sun makes your nails grow faster and makes them stronger, and there's been very little sunshine in the UK for months! 

Therefore, I decided to go for these acrylic nails! I chose this pink/plum colour because I thought it brings a little bit of brightness to my nails as well as being suited to the winter weather! 

The process of getting them was very easy: 
1) file down nails 
2) use a small drill to run over the nails
3) glue the nails on
4) cut and file the nails down to the right height and shape 
5) apply a thick paste on top
6) add two coats of your chosen nail varnish 
7) apply a clear coat
8) put under a heater to dry 

I had these done in a new little nail bar in Sevenoaks, Kent. The price was only £15 for a full set and they have proved to be really worth the money. I have had them over a week now and they haven't shown any signs of chipping or coming off. 

I would definitely recommend getting acrylic nails, they are absolutely fantastic!

Lots of love, Emily x

What I Wore - Think Pink.









Last weekend was so lovely and bright, I could have been fooled into thinking it was Spring.. So in honoured of this lovely weather ( that we don't get a lot of in England) I thought I would dress up with some nice bright colours. I choose to make my outfit Pink as well what Girl doesn't need a bit of Pink in her life! 

- Coat (old but similar here) - Top (similar here) - 

- Necklace(Primark) - Jeans - Shoes ( old but similar here) - 

 - Eyeliner - Mascara - Foundation(Shade NC20) - Blush (tickled Pink) - 
- Lipstick  (forbidden Burgundy, used as a stain so comes out a lot lighter than fully applying the lipstick!)- 

Peace and Love B! XOXO
