My May Favourites

Hello PPB's

I hope your all loving this sunny Sunday! I am for sure! Currently got some cupcakes baking in the oven! :) I don't know why but the sun always makes me want to bake :)

So its that time again and I can't actually believe its now June! Seriously this year is going so fast its scary! I haven't had to many things that I have been loving this month, apart from the ones I love every month of course. But here are a couple of new things I've tried this month and have really enjoyed using!
Mane 'n Tail - I had heard a lot about these and when I went to look for some I found they were on offer on Amazon so I decided to give them a go while they are cheaper. I know hair always feel better if you change up your products so I don't know if its because its different or if it really is as good as it seems. I really can feel and see a difference. I'm going to give it a little while longer till I do a proper review but atm I am seriously loving this stuff!
Nivea invisible - Bit of a random one but I find it so hard to find a deodorant that I actually like the smell of and that works for long periods of time, but this ticks the boxes and obviously I wear a lot of black for work so this also helps with those horrible deodorant marks! 'keeps my blacks black' haha :)
Sally Hansen As hard as nails - My nails have been so bad recently, with the zircon now on at work they have become so dry and weak, breaking left right and centre! After using this for a couple of weeks I have really seen a change, don't get me wrong they still break but they don't flake if you know what I mean. I use it both as an undercoat or just on its own as a clear. I really hope it continues to work and my nails get stronger and stronger! (I can't find a link for this online, but I got mine from boots)
Benefit Gimme Brow - Okay so I jumped on the hype train with this one but I have been wanting to use a brow gel for a while and its had really good reviews, a few mixed reviews but mainly good. I have been really enjoying using this and again I'm going to use it for a little longer before I review it, but so far so good!
Collection Bronze Glow - I got this in this months GlossyBox and I have tried a Collection mosaic blush before and really liked it. Being pale I find it so hard to fins a bronzer that doesn't make me look orange or just well awful! haha so when I got this I was a bit apprehensive to start with but oh my I love it! I leaves such beautiful tone on the skin, it catches the light really nicely and works as a highlight as well, I really think this will be one to purchase when I used this up!

I love reading favourites posts so make sure you leave your links in the comments!

My Autumn Essentials - Nails

Hello PPB's <3
I hope you're all wrapping up warm now the weather has started to get colder! I have decided to turn my Friday posts into 'Favourite' posts, where I share my essentials and favourite products :)
 I'm going to start by doing a series called 'My autumn essentials' :) each week I will share products I love during autumn! :) 

Starting with as you can tell from the title of the post! NAILs!!
I have to admit that I much prefere a dark nail colour than I light one, I honest don;t really think light colours look good on me anyway, so knowing that you will probably already know that autumn is my favourite season for nail polish! :)

Here are my 7 favourites! :)
1) Essie - bahama mama - This colour is stunning! and also the newest member of my nail polish collection! I love deep plumb purples all year round but I think they are just perfect for Autumn, a very elegant colour and goes with everything!
2) Essie - a list - Ox red is my go to colour for this time of year an easy colour to wear and suits everyone! i have fallen in love with Essie polishes too! The application is amazing and they last so well.
3) Sally Hansen - so much fawn - A dusty pink I think can look stunning during Autumn perfect with a white/cream thick knit jumper! So cute and girly! Also its so the only pink I can wear, baby pinks really don't suit me.
4) Sally Hansen - firey island - Orange is my all time favourite colour for autumn, also its the colour that most suits my skin so I wear it when ever I can. This one is the perfect burnt orange colour perfect for Halloween!!
5) Barry M - grey - Pretty self explanatory, grey I think is a very sophisticated, elegant nail colour, perfect for a working day, a lot less gentle than a harsh black nail.
6) Barry M - Raspberry - Burgundy is also one of my all time favourites for autumn, it just makes me happy!
7) - Barry M - red glitter - Well come on who doesn't love a bit of glitter this time of year! Helping you get into to....yup I'm going to say it....Christmas spirit! :D

So there are 7 of my favourite colours to wear during the autumn months moving into the colder winter months too.

What are you favourite colours to wear?

Lots of Love

Sally Hansen - So Much Fawn 260

Firstly thank you so much to everyone that has followed through bloglovin, I now have 110 of you wonderful people reading with bloglovin! :)

Anyway onto todays post! :) My local boots has just got a Sally Hansen counter, and well I couldn't resist! I have only ever used their top coats and nail treatments, never colours so I had to get at least 1 haha! I picked one called 'so much fawn'
The colour itself so beautiful! A lovely dusty pick colour and I love how it looks against my pale skin! Its got a perfect formula, thick enough to get away with one coat, but not too thick as to go clumpy on the nail. The wide brush makes application so much easier and quicker as well! Dry speed is pretty average, but if you have their instadry top coat that doesn't matter.

The packaging looks very professional, simple and clean, and the bottle size is very good, you get alot of product for your money. They are £6.00 from boots and are currently in the 'buy 1 get 2nd half price' offer! Here There are so many colours to choose from!

So first impressions on Sally Hansen colour polishes = Excellent, I know my bank account isnt going to love them quite as much though!
Have you tried any of the Sally Hansen colour polishes? Whats your favourite?
