Mini Elf Haul | Eyes Lips & Face

♥ Mini ELF Cosmetics Haul ♥ 
Hi everyone! The other week I purchased some ELF products from http://eyeslipsface.co.uk. I have to admit, I have never really been a huge fan of ELF. I had purchased from here a couple of years ago and although it was extremely cheap, the quality was not great at all (I guess you get what you pay for!). After browsing the website last week, I noticed the choice of makeup seemed to have improved, the prices have also slightly increased which suggests to me that the quality has also improved. After careful consideration, I thought I would take my chances and purchase a few items.





Lipsticks (in order) : Posh, Fearless, Sociable, Party Pink (Mineral) and Rich Raspberry (Mineral) 
I was pleasantly surprised with these lipsticks, especially the two mineral lipsticks. They all glide onto the lips so smoothly and they also smell quite nice as well. There is no shimmer to them, they are all completely matte. The only downside to the non-mineral lipsticks is the fact that they wipe off quite easily so you will find yourself reapplying all throughout the day.  I do think these lipsticks are great if you want to experiment with colours that you have not used before.

If you have never tried a red lip before, or perhaps you are unsure if a coral pink would suit you, I would definitely advise you to check out the ELF lipsticks as it's better to pay £1.95 rather than £15.00 for a particular colour you're unsure of. I absolutely love the mineral lipsticks, they are just as good as the drugstore lip products, I would definitely purchase some more.


Nail Polish Set (Beach Party)
I can only say good things about this nail polish set. All three of the colours are absolutely gorgeous. They also dry really quickly and glide onto the nails with so much ease.


My favourite is Flirty Fuscia purely because I love having bright pink nails. It's such a bright and pretty colour which really stands out. Below is 'Coral Dream' which is also a gorgeous colour. It's very summery and it is a colour which will go with absolutely anything you wear as it's quite neutral with a nice hint of a peachy colour.


I tend not to wear red nail varnish very often, only because it is extremely bold. However, I will definitely be using this nail varnish for nights out when I am either wearing a red dress or a nice black dress with a red lip. They are all lovely colours and similar to the mineral lipsticks, I will definitely be purchasing some more.


I also purchased the Beauty Book and the False Eyelashes. I will be testing both of these products out over the next couple of days and I will shortly be writing a review on them. So far so good with the ELF cosmetics, I am impressed.

Pills That Make Your Hair & Nails Grow Fast!

♥ Swanson, Hair, Skin and Nails Review 


So I'm not really one for taking tablets or any form of dietary supplements. Any that I have tried in the past, I have always taken for a week and then either forgotten about them or just decided I don't want to take them anymore. Swanson Hair Skin & Nails was recommended to me after constant complaining that my hair does not grow. I decided to by some online and give them a try to see if they would really work.

I casually opened the packaging and lid to have a little peak at what exactly I would be taking on a daily basis. To my horror they were mahoosive and a weird, funny looking colour. I instantly thought 'nope' I can't take these. After some gentle encouragement and persuasion, I decided to give them a go for at least a week as many people insisted that they can work pretty much straight away. You do not bite into these supplements, you simply swallow them as though you are taking a paracetamol (a very large one!)


After a week of taking them twice a day, I was so impressed. I could already notice a massive difference with my nails which went from being brittle and breaking easily to being stronger and also looking generally more healthy. I also noticed that my skin was beginning to look and feel a lot better. I soon decided that this is definitely a supplement I will continue to take.

After a month of taking the tablets, I also noticed that my hair felt and looked a lot more healthier. The tablet's literally do work wonders for your hair, skin and nails. I have now recommended this to a lot of people and everybody is amazed by how great it is and how it does really work.

RIMMEL LONDON | Lasting Finish 0025 Strawberry Fizz

♥ RIMMEL London Lasting Finish | 0025 
This nail varnish was chosen for me by my boyfriend - he definitely made the right decision! I love bright nails and this colour certainly is bright. It's a lovely girly pink and goes with everything I wear. 


When I looked at the back of the nail varnish it says 'Fruity scent when dry'. All of the nail varnishes I have ever had in the past have always been quite strong smelling (and not in a good way). I was therefore quite sceptical of how Rimmel would be able to mask the strong smell with something nice.


To my surprise, as I applied the nail varnish I could already smell something quite fruity and nice. Once my nails were dry, I could smell a very sweet strawberry scent to my nails, it's very subtle and not overpowering at all. Even after a week of having the nail varnish on, I could still smell a very faint scent of strawberry on my nails.


I would definitely recommend this product - Especially if you love girly colours.
♥ Overall, I would give this a big thumbs up!
