If you've been a long time follower you may remember a while ago I wrote about this Vichy Dermablend foundation, It's one of my holy grails but in my previous post I had said the lightest shade Opal was just a tiny bit too dark for my complexion so when I found out Vichy had released the shade porcelain I was very pleased!

W7 | First Impressions

Recently I've been playing with these items from W7*, W7 is known for low price but good quality products and is a brand I'm quite familiar with as it's sold in a few shops near me and I'm an avid fan of their In The Buff Palette.

They've recently worked with Playboy to create some lovely pieces and my favourite items are definitely the lipsticks. From left to right these are Centerfold Pink, Playboy Red & In The Pink all colours that are wearable and despite Centerfold pink being bright it doesn't come out as garish looking and it's probably the one I've worn most even though I thought at first thought I'd never wear it!
The formula glides on and is soft, they have a slight lavender smell but it's not unpleasant. Playboy Red seems to wear really well and I don't find it just vanishes it fades nicely. I also received the Playboy Mascara and it's been in my makeup bag since, it's a very wet mascara and they're my favourite so I shall be taking it on holiday. The Playboy Polishes I received are in Fluro Euro and In the 90's, In the 90's is AMAZING, lovely silver shimmery colour and one coat does the job! It'll look brilliant as an accent nail colour especially against Fluro Euro.

REVIEW | Mont Bleu | Swarovski Crystal Accessories

Mont Bleu | Swarovski Crystal Accessories*

Recently I received a package from Mont Bleu, they are one of the worlds leading suppliers of glass nail files, all made of the highest quality Czech glass and decorated in beautiful Swarovski crystals.
I've never really heavily filed my nails due to the damage I endured when I once had them done in a nail salon, my poor nails bled down one side and were incredibly sensitive so I've been scared to file them for the longest time until I tried these glass files and erm how pretty?! The glass is so much gentler yet it does the same thing as a normal file, the grit on the board is really fine so can take a little while to file down but I don't generally use a file to take massive amounts of nail off so this works brilliantly.
 I've used a glass file before and it was so cheap feeling and thin I thought it would snap and it did after dropping it, you can certainly tell the difference between this and a cheap one off eBay. Unlike normal emery boards these take a lot longer to wear down so it may be a bit more money to pay out now but it's worth it.
I got the large size that's coloured and has crystals on it and a smaller one that's perfect for your handbag and fear not, the glass is toughened so they're super durable and safe.
