Hey, so I know I haven't posted in over a week, I am working on a couple of projects at the moment and that means that I am not buying any new products to test. So all in all Not a very pleasing couple of weeks because I just want to buy new collections that are coming out. On the plus side we are getting a Kitten soon eeek.
Will keep you updated as things go. Bye x

MaXfactor Colour Elixir Giant pen stick, FoxyAmber- Foxy indeed.
So you may remember me mentioning in my Birthday haul http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHbgq9lLhl0
This giant pen stick from Maxfactor you may note that I was unsure on the colour and the use of this product, well although I still have not figured out how on earth to sharpen this product, I have figured that I am in love with the colour and formulation. Colour wise its a coral pink/orange/red (great colour description i know) its pink in some light then an orangy pink in others with just a hint of red, I LOVRVE IT! As for formulation its almost a buildable stain stick, it can go on sheer and the more you apply the more opaque it becomes, its very glossy not sticky just beautiful and has me wanting to buy more shades, Give it a try and let me know what you think. x

Two very different nail polish's one review.
I think I have found the best brown ever!
So let me talk to you about MaxFactor Max effect mini nail polish in 26 Cappuccino, I can say with massive confidence I love this nail varnish. (Ah swoon.) Let me say I have tried so many taupes and chocolate browns trying to find one I like and had no success until now!
This polish is a Mauve chocolatey brown and it is DEVINE. These nail varnish's retail at £3.99 and come in a fantastic variety of shades and finishes, Metallics, pastels, high gloss and cream finish's are the tip of the nail. (Excuse the pun.) I am currently wearing Cappuccino on my toe nails (warning foot photo's to come.) And I love it, because of the mauve undertone I feel it will suit all skin tones, the formulation is lovely, dries so quickly and heck is it hard to chip, lets just say I have a habit of stubbing my toes and getting them stuck under heavy objects and still this nail varnish stays WITHOUT a top coat! Its devine I love it.
Beautiful right?
L'Oreal Colour Riche.
This one I have in Lush Tangerine, and I have no idea what to say about this, so lets start with the basics, it retails at £4.99 the formulation is a little sticky to work with, in the bottle this orange looks like a powder orange but it comes onto the nails ALOT brighter (this is not a problem to me because I like it all the same.) I was just hoping for a pastel orange. Drying time took too long for me and even after 2 hours of sat waiting to dry I altered my top and hello smudging also even after they felt completely dry and I went to bed they were not as I have my beddings fabric print in my nails (new trend? I think not.) Overall nice colour but nothing makes me want to re use or re purchases.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, have any of you got these varnish's and want to comment?
