Avneesh's July Favourites

Hello Beautifuls, July was a hot month and because of that I wasn't using much makeup, as it would just melt off on me. But I did have 6 things which I absolutely loved in July.

Maybelline Rocket Volume Express Waterproof Mascara

 I don't usually use waterproof mascara but as it is summer and so hot, I needed something which wouldn't make me look like a ghost. It gives great volume and length, and just makes my lashes look really amazing. And it is worth every hype it has been getting!!!

Clinique Gel Liner in 02 True Black

This isn't a new find as I bought it in January, but I kind of got over it and stopped using it. I have rediscovered it now and I love how it looks on my eyes. It's not the easiest thing to apply, but once you get used to it, it's great. It can smudge so I just have to be a little careful with it throughout the day.

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer

I have tried quite a few drugstore concealers but I haven't loved any of them or bought them again, but this one is my favourite and I will definitely buy it again. I just using it under my eyes. I have been wearing this, the rocket volume mascara and just some lipstick during the hot days and I love the look. It glides on perfectly, doesn't crease much and isn't cakey at all.

L'Oreal Absolute Make-Up Remover

This is the waterproof version, they also have the normal version which looks the same so don't be mistaken guys. This is my second bottle and I love it. It is suitable for sensitive eyes which is perfect for me. Let's just say it is a great make-up remover and easy to use. When I use it to remove the make-up off my lips it doesn't dry my lips and I simply love it.

Boots Coconut and Almond Body Butter

First of all it smells amazing. It is hydrating and the smell lingers on which I like. You can say it is the cheaper version of the body shop body butters. The texture of this isn't as thick as the body shop ones but i just really like this. They have other 'flavours' too so I will definitely be going and buying more of these.

BarryM Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Polish in Satsuma

I have been wearing it on my toe nails for about 2 weeks now and I love it. We have done a blog post on it so you guys can check it out here.

Hope you guys enjoyed reading that, and let us know what your July favourites were!

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

Review: BarryM Gelly Hi-shine Nail Polishes

Hello Lovelies! 

We have absolutely fallen in love with the BarryM Hi-shine nail polishes! Why? Because they have beautiful colour range, you just need one coat and you will get the perfect opaque colour. The formula is lovely and does not chip easily. In the UK they are only worth £3.99, and for the price they are definitely a great buy! 

The neon-orange polish first left is called Satsuma which is a lovely neon orange, perfect for summer. It is also a good colour to paint on your toes. The second in the middle is called grapefruit which is a beautiful soft-pink colour for the summer. If you like pink nail polishes this one if definitely for you! The last on the right is called Lychee. It is a natural beige colour which is great for every season. If you feel like having a natural nails day it is a great option. 

However one little disappointment is the brush they have, the brush is a little thin which can make it difficult to apply but it's not a big issue seeing how good the nail polish is! It takes a while to dry but it's ok as you only need one coat.

They have a colour for everyone and every season! You can buy them at any drugstore (In the UK boots and superdrug). Offers such as 3 for 2 keep coming on so you can also have a bargain. In some Topshops, they have testers which allows you to test them on your nails. 

If you ask us, then we absolutely love these nail polishes and they are one of our favourites! We will recommend these Barry Gelly Hi-shine Nail Polishes to everyone out there, so go and check out your local drugstore if you haven't yet got one!
