Karen: Drugstore Beauty Haul

Hey ladies :) The drugstores are doing some great products at the moment which a lot of bloggers may have raved about. If you live in the UK, you'll also know that Boots is doing the offer of 3 for 2 on selected items. As I'm in Hong Kong during this summer holiday, I didn't get to enjoy that offer; however, I asked Avneesh to get me some products ;)

These items are still at Avneesh's, so they have not been opened yet and I can't do the swatches for you, sorry :/

Revlon Photo Ready Cream Brush in Coral Reed

Never owed a cream brush, and heard a lot of things about the revlon one, so I bought it :) Also, I have seen other people wearing this in their pictures, and it looks lovely on them. Although the packaging looks scarily red, it doesn't come out like that once it has been nicely blended. 

Max Factor Miracle Touch Creamy Blusher in Soft Pink

Another cream blush that I wanted to try ever since it was launched. This soft pink looks great and I think it's a shade for every skin colour.

Maybelline Baby Lips in Intense Care

As mentioned in one of our posts (read here), I quite enjoy the baby lips for moisturisation. I had the blue tube one before, and I want to try this 'Intense Care' lip balm :)

Real Techniques Fine Liner Brush

I need a new liner brush, so I got this one. There isn't much explanation as to why I wanted it haha!

Real Techniques Core Collection

This collection contains four brushes, which are the detailer brush, contour brush, pointed foundation brush and buffing brush. I love Real Techniques' brushes; I think they are very affordable and great tools. I have heard so much about the buffing brush, which is the main reason why I wanted this :)

BarryM Gelly Nail Polishes in Prickly Pear, Grapefruit and Greenberry

Need I say more about these nail polishes? I love them and I wanted to have shades haha! We have done a blog post on these, it was our first blog post too... (Read Here)

Soap & Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick in Fushia-Ristic

I know a lot YouTubers love this product and I just want to see what the fuss is all about. I bought the shade fushia-Ristic because I don't have many lip products which is a fuschia shade!

Soap & Glory Glow All Out Luminzing Face Powder

Again, this is such a hyped up product, and I just really want to try it!

Soap & Glory The Righteous Butter Lotion

Soap and Glory's body products are known as their heavenly scents! I have their shower gel which smell soooooo GOOD! So, decided to get more of their products :)

Soap & Glory The Breakfast Body Scrub

I really can't wait to open these bad boys when I see Avneesh after summer!!!! I'm so excited to try these out :)
Hope you enjoy this post, and let me know what you think of the products x

Our Top Six Summer Nail Polishes!

Hello everyone :)

Summer is the time for brightness and since nail polish is a quick way to polish our looks, we have picked our six favourite nail polishes for the summer. When it comes to nails we don't go for brands, we go for colours. So, here are our picks...

'Rimmel London Lycra Pro - 297 Show off'

Though on the bottle it says it lasts upto 10 days, it doesn't last upto 10 days on our nails. However, it is our favourite summer pink nail polish along with the 'BarryM Gelly Hi-Shine in Grapefruit'. We love the brushes of Rimmel nail polishes as they are thick which makes it quick and easy to apply them. Rimmel has lovely colours overall with a very wide range of colours and they are also very cheap.

'No7 Stay Perfect Nail Colour - Minty Fresh 320'

The perfect sky blue colour, which looks amazing on the toes as well because blue cancels out the redness in the feet so it makes the feet look lovely overall. It isn't very opaque as does need 2-3 coats, and it lasts around the same time as the Rimmel one.

'MaxFactor Glossfinity - Lilac Lace'

A beautiful lilac which almost looks purple to us. It goes together with many colours so doesn't matter what colour clothes you wear. Also we like the formula of this because it is very opaque and lasts a long time as it says on the bottle that it lasts for upto 7 days.

'Essie - Splash of Grenadine'

Our absoluteee favourite - if we had to choose only one colour for the whole summer, this would be it! This is a beautiful light purple which looks great on both of us. And we love love love the formula of this. All Essie nail polishes last for over a week and don't chip at all. Two coats of this and you'll get a very beautiful and subtle colour. It isn't a big pop of colour which we like because sometimes everyone likes a bit of softness, but it isn't a colour which goes unnoticed so it is great for any kind of a day.

'Ciate - Shooting Star'

Avneesh got this free in a magazine, but you can also buy it from any Ciate counter. It is a natural beige which everyone would love. This is also very similar to the BarryM Gelly Hi-Shine's Lychee. Karen likes BarryM's Lychee more than the Ciate shooting star because BarryM is thicker and just needs one coat and comes out very opaque, but the Ciate needs 2-3 cotes and is quite thin.

'BarryM Gelly Hi-Shine - Satsuma'

We have already done a post on these colours so you guys can check it out (click here). It is a perfect orange which is very opaque, just need one coat and lasts absolutely ages. And this looks great on the feet as-well.

On the nails (From left to right):
Ciate - Shooting Star
Essie - Splash of Grenadline
MaxFactor - Lilac Lace
No7 - Minty Fresh
Rimmel - Show Off

Also, we would like to mention the following product, which we have been loving all year round! It is the Bourjois Magic Nail Polish Remover. 

This product is truly amazing, and it makes our job to remove nail polishes off much easier! It still manages to surprise us every time we use it. Although it says it can remove any nail polish within one second, we find that it takes about 7-10 seconds to completely take off any colours on your nails. If you have not got this product yet, we highly recommend you to purchase one soon :) 

Hope you enjoyed reading our choices for summer nails! Let us know what are your summer nail colours, we'd love to discover new nail polishes :) x
