A little beauty post

Here are some lovely new beauty products i have brought lately.

Only been using it a few days so far, and i have noticed my teeth are more sensitive! So i'm not sure whether to continue using it.

But i really want my teeth to be a few shades whiter, i drink too much tea!

I bought this tinted moisturiser because my skin has got a lot better over the past year and i want something lighter than foundation. And this tinted moisturiser is SPF20 and gives a good coverage. It also comes with a concealer which i use for dark circles under my eyes and blemishes.

Great product.

I've seen a few blog posts about Models Own new nail varnish collection. This is the ' Indian Ocean ' shade NP133.

Its such a beautiful combination of colour!

I also picked up this Models Own lipstick.

Plum

LS002

So i have been getting acrylic nails for a long time now, and i keep getting them infilled.

But this month i just can't afford it!:(

So i had no option but to take this matter into my own hands,

they had grown out so much and were starting to lift.

You can use pure Acetone or a nail varnish remover which has Acetone in it,

You get a bowl of hot water and another with the Acetone in.

And leave to soak.

I then filed and painted them! :)

And the Models Own Indian Ocean.

I put the pink on and the Models own on top so the pink comes through.

What do you think?

Todays Outfit

Today i went to London. This is what i wore! Popped to Primark and got few bits too, they have some really on trend looks at the moment for amazing prices!

Today i wanted to look smart but trendy, so i wore my smart trousers from H&M, which are really comfy too, and paired them with a plain white shirt and a cute oversized bow tie, which i got for £2.50 in the Topshop sale not long ago. I wore my mac which is from TKMaxx, to keep warm but still look smart.

I thought the colours worked well together, neutral is quite rare for me as i love bright colours, but it's fun to go for a alternative look.

Shirt - Peacocks

Bow tie - Topshop

Trousers - H&M

Brogues - Primark
