BARRY M SPEEDY DRY NAIL POLISH: EAT MY DUST

Although we love painting our nails, it can be a bit of a chore from time to time. It sucks when you spend a good half an hour painting your nails perfectly and then go and smudge them the second you finish because they aren't quite dry! When we saw these polishes on the aisles of Boots we thought it may just be another attempt at quick dry polish but Barry M have succeeded . . .

Barry M Speedy Quick Dry Nail Paint in Eat My Dust

L'OREAL TRUE MATCH

RECENTLY PURCHASED: FEBRUARY/MARCH

It's fair to say that between the two of us we have bought quite a few new things in the last couple of weeks. We thought we'd give you a quick review of our first impressions on the products... 

UNDER EYE CONCEALERS

Finding the perfect under eye concealer at a reasonable price is not an easy task. None have the best shade range or are the perfect under eye concealers. We have found that the majority do work to highlight under the eyes and take away from the purple tones, but none of them really fully cover up the circles without creasing or not blending out. Despite the fact that they aren't perfect, we have found a few that do the job!

MAYBELLINE COLOUR TATTOO

Cream eyeshadows are the perfect product for a quick and easy eye look or for creating a base for eyeshadow. Maybelline Colour Tattoos are the best drugstore option, as they are opaque and super blendable. If you have oily eyelids, then we suggest using a primer first which extends the staying power. It still doesn't last for 24 hours like it says- but then again, who wears make-up for 24 hours?!

COLAB VS BATISTE

Bastiste has been the most popular drugstore dry shampoo available for a while now, but with the new introduction of Ruth Crilly's Colab collection, there is now some competition.

RIMMEL KATE MOSS LIPSTICK 08

Finding a my lips but better shade, with a good formula and pigmentation, on the high street can be hard but the other day in Boots we stumbled across this perfect shade: Rimmel Kate Moss lipstick in 08. 

RIMMEL BROW THIS WAY

Brow powder has always been on our list to try out, and when Rimmel launched this product recently, - Brow This Way - we thought we'd pick it up and try it out.

PREPARING YOUR LIPS FOR LIPSTICK

Putting lipstick on can sometimes make your lips look dry and chapped (especially with matte formulas), but here are a few things we do before to try and avoid the unattractive flaky look...

BARRY M: TRANSITION TO WINTER

Barry M nail paints have been a go to product since we started painting our nails. The price is amazingly affordable - at £2.99 - and the formula is fairly long lasting as well as easy to apply.

REVLON COLOURBURST LIP CRAYONS

Revlon Colourburst Lip Crayons are one of our most used lip products, especially as they come in three different formulas with a great shade range. Our favourites are the 'my lips but better' tones - as you can see from our combined collection.
