Pink Paradise is a new nail polish from Models Own from their latest collection containing 5 shades. The 'splash' collection has literally just came out into Boots and I saw Pink Paradise and had to pick it up.
Pink Paradise looks like a super bright barbie pink colour but in actual fact its nowhere near as pink on the nails. Its a very sheer pink with chunks of iridescent glitter shining purple, orange, yellow and green with shimmer particles shining the same colours. The first layer is very sheer with a hint of pink and a varied amount of glitter.
I used three coats of Pink Paradise and it still does not look like the colour in the bottle. However I do like the colour on the nails, its not an overpowering pink, its a light pink colour which a heap of glitter particles. The glitter particles look stunning in the sun shine and can still pick up the glitter in dull daytime whether.
Plus if you are looking for a super quick nail polish to apply, I would not recommend this as it does take 5 mins max to dry and you need quite a few layers to make the colour decent enough.
Overall dont expect pink paradise to be as pink as in the bottle, but
its still a nice pink to where with the glitter which looks so nice.
You might be able to get the same colour if you layer the nail polish
lots of times but I prefer just three coats.
The problem with glitter nail polishes like this one, is the removal process. I think it will take a long time and a lot of nail polish remover and patience.
I have never really been a MAC fan since there products are expensive for what they are.However I do keep an eye out for any collection that catches my eye and this collection did just that.
The first item is a pro longwear paint pot in 'Mooncake'. This is my first ever paint pot and I am quite happy with this one. I love the colour, its so fresh and shimmery which will be best for the spring and summer.. Mooncake is a warm beige, so it is very netural and can be either worn on its own or under eye shadow.
The last few items are the pearlmatte face powders in Pink buttercream and In for a treat. These two are just amazing and so pretty. Pink Buttercream is a light silvery pink base with dark pink flowers and periwinkle leaves. This one is going to be great for light skin tones and the pink roses in the middle can be used as a pink blusher.
The second pearlmatte face powder is In for a treat which is a champagne base with matte coral flower and mint leaves. This can be used on all skin tones and the flowers in the middle can be used as a coral blusher. Both of these face powders are so beautiful to look at, however they do come at a cost of £21.50 which is the second highest product I have bought in my life so far.
Overall, all these products are very me and the colours are just amazing for this upcoming summer

For some time now, beauty companys have released brush cleansers such as the clarisonic skin cleaning brush. I know clarisonic has released two brushes called Mia which has become popular. Then there are other brands which are starting to catch on that the clarisonic's skin cleaning kit is a hit in the beauty community.
I little while ago, I went into Boots and wandered over to the no7 counter and saw they had their own version of the Clarisonic Mia but cheaper. It was around £30 so it wasnt as expensive as the Clarisonic. However the quality might be different since it is a lot cheaper, so I bought it a couple of weeks ago just to try out a brush cleanser.
I have just started trying it out this morning, and thought I might as well do a first impressions review just to let you know my intial thoughts of this product.
So as I said I used it for the first time this morning, and I used the Soap And Glory Peaches And Clean to work with the no7 brush. First of as always I used water to wet my face before hand. Then pumped out 2 lots of the Peaches And Clean cleanser and spread that evenly, on my face so that the brush had something to work with. On this brush there are two power settings, I used the first power setting which is a slow moving setting. I put the brush under the tap for a couple of seconds and started using the brush to cleanse my face.
At first, the brush seemed really harsh and rough on the face which made it a bit painful cleansing the whole of my face. I thought it would be soft and gentle but no it was quite harsh. I dont know if this is because the quality might not be as good as the Clarisonic since it is cheaper. But it seemed harsh for the skin, so I might not consider using this every morning and night.
I would not recommend for people who have very sensitive skin since this would damage the skin a lot more and could be painful in use. Overall this brush did the job by rubbing in the cleanser into my skin but it feels very rough and harsh which might put me off using the brush all the time.
Hello Everyone, So a little while ago, i did a video on the maxfactor facefinity all day flawless foundation review on my youtube channel. I thought I might as well put the video on here so everyone has the ability to see my review whether you go on youtube or search on blogs.
Anyway this foundation is pretty amazing and it nearly beats my fave Revlon colorstay foundation which is my all time favourite foundation. Click on the video below to see why this nearly beats the Revlon foundation :)
This months Glossybox is all about having a cosy night in and treating yourself to a 'home spa experience' since October has been pretty rubbish for weather lately. Also its breast cancer awareness month, so Glossybox is supporting the breast cancer care by donating the money they make from this box.
As usual it comes in the nice pale pink box with their black logo on the front. Inside the box after I opened it up, I found four products instead of five which is a bit annoying.
Anyway the first product I picked up was the Dermalogica 3 step day and night kit. I have heard of Dermalogica and always wanted to try something from their range because their brand is very well known. In this kit, there is a cleanser, toner and moisturiser and it is for problem skin such as blemishes and acne. I have blemishes and I think this will be brilliant in controlling the blemishes and hopefully stop them from appearing on my face. This kit is £12 from cleanstart.dermalogica.com/uk/ ,
The second product I picked up was the Anatomicals Don't Just Clean It Woman, Scrub It. I love the name of this product, find it quite funny and catches the eye. This is a body scrub with a pink grapefruit scent in a long tube and is 75ml. This is quite a big sample which is brilliant because I find having bigger samples means you can try it out properly. I wanted another body scrub since my another one is nearly running out and this sounds right up my street.
The third product I picked up was the Skinetica Anti-Blemish Solutions. This solution helps to clear blemishes and any problems on the skin and should start to see the results in 2-3 days. They also claim its kind to skin with no side effects. To use this product, all you have to do is put some of the solution on a cotton pads and wipe it over the face without rinsing the product off.
The last product is by Yves Rocher France and I have a lipstick in 'Framboise' which is a bright red colour. Im not a big fan of red lipsticks because I dont like having bright lipsticks on and it might make me look washed out with pale skin. Its a full size product with £14.50 which is more than the box is worth.My camera would not focus on the lipstick but its just a normal red lipstick.
Overall this is a very good box for me this month and I would use most of the products apart from the lipstick. I cant wait to try the blemish products since blemishes can be a big problem for me. But very happy with this box.
