Britannia Rules The Waves!!!

As my street isn't having a street party and from where I'm sitting there is no bunting in sight, I felt the need to get into the Jubilee spirit, despite the weather! After watching all 1000 boats on the Thames I decided that I could spice things up by doing my own Union Jack nail art. Hope you guys like it, it took me ages as I did it free-hand!

Products: Nails Supreme 'Nail Polish Decorating Kit'
Tip: When using Nail Art Pens, use a little product at first and then add more as appropriate. Take your time and frequently check over your work!


            HAPPY JUBILEE AND HAVE A FABULOUSLY BRITISH BANK HOLIDAY GUYS!

BBB- Bobbi Brown Bronzer

Hello, we both finished our AS exams this week so now we actually have time to shop and blog! We both went on a massive shopping spree yesterday and picked up some lovely beauty products which we've been lusting after. I apologise before-hand for the shocking picture quality as my camera is being repaired and so meanwhile my laptop camera had to suffice (and my nails are extremely chipped as I haven't had time to re-paint them, sorry!) :(





Product: Bobbi Brown Bronzing Powder
Colour: Deep 4
Price: £26

I picked this up at my local John Lewis after reading such good reviews on it. I have naturally tanned skin anyway but I felt that I needed a bronzer just to lift my skin and give my make-up a boost. Please be warned that this is the darkest shade available and so if like me you have medium tanned skin only apply a little product where the sun naturally hits your face, however I like to use it to define my cheekbones.

This product lives up to my high expectations, it gives my skin a little 'boost' without looking too powdery unlike some bronzers. Yes, I agree, it is very pricey but I assure you it will be a long time before you even hit the pan if used correctly, it also comes with a mirror
 and a powder puff so you can use it on go too. I found that when applying this product on my cheekbones it looked quite harsh, so to soften the line and create a more naturally bronzed look, after dusting on cheekbones blend the product softly down and out towards your hairline. When this runs out, I will definitely consider buying it again.


We'll be posting about the other products very soon
