Eyelure lashes

Today I wore some false eyelashes for the first time in months! I purchased a few packs from Superdrug when they were doing their 3 for 2 offer.
I normally stick to just wearing mascara, as I feel false lashes can make me look very over done, and make my eyes look too heavy. However, after trying these today, I may go false more often.
I am wearing eyelure naturalites in number 107. They are a beautiful full lash and give just the right amount of volume. These are also the first lashes that I haven't had to cut to make them fit my eye shape.
They come in at just over £5 per box, but as the can be reused if they are looked after, you can definitely get your money worth!

Winter nails!

I painted my nails in a very cute winter design today, and so I thought I would share my idea with you.
All you need to create this look is a clear base coat, a colour nail varnish of your choice, a silver glitter nail varnish and and optional chunky silver glitter nail polish.
I first applied the base coat to provide protection for my natural nails. Once this had dried I applied 2 coats of my coloured nail varnish . I chose to go with a pretty lilac colour by rimmel London 60 seconds 'how do you lilac it'. However any colour you choose will look good with this look. I applied two coats to make it opaque. Then taking my first silver glitter nail varnish ( collection 2000 194) I started to apply this at the base of my nail, gradually working my way up approximately 2/3 s if the way up. After this had dried I then applied some of my chunky silver glitter nail varnish ( barrym nail paint in silver glitter) one 3rd of the way up to add layers. Apply a top coat to seal the design and this is the look complete!
Such a simple and easy way to jazz up your nails for the festive season
