Marc Jacobs Nail Lacquer Review

Hi Everyone! 

For todays post I will be taking about one of my favourite beauty products → NAIL POLISH :D.. Specifically 'Marc Jacobs Hi-Shine Nail Lacquer'. I picked up three of the shades from his collection on my recent trip to France. I went into Sephora and did not step out until I had these in my basket as I have been looking for these for the longest time ever! and they do not sell or ship to the UK :( 

These polishes retail for 18 Euros each so the price point is in line with most high end luxury polish brands...

Lets start by taking a moment for the BEAUTIFUL packaging he has designed for this product. It is simple, unique and classy... and the shape of the bottle is like no other, i love it!... I picked up three shades. 

1. Delphine - a gorgeous everyday creamy browny nude. perfect for everyday wear 

2. Lux - something different! a bright neon yellow shade perfect for making a statement

3. Secret Love - the most beautiful aubergine purple shade I have seen. one of my favourite colours 

Firstly these polishes come with the perfect sized brush, easy to use and not too large so polish application is easy.. Which is important when buying a luxury nail polish. The formula of the polish is an ideal consistency and not thick or clumpy at all... I found that for all three polishes two coats gives enough coverage and when dry, the gel like shine is exactly what I love! So a top coat is not really needed. 

The lasting power of all three I would say is perfect! They last about a week before showing any wear and thats about right as I wouldn't keep a polish on for longer than a week anyway as I like to keep changing up colours :) 

My favourite of all three shades is the neon yellow 'Lux' as i do not own a colour like it and it is such a striking colour which I wouldn't usually go for but have now fallen in love with. 

Below I have swatched all three gorgeous shades..

DELPHINE

SECRET LOVE

Overall I am really impressed with the look, formula and lasting power of all three of these polishes. Marc Jacobs has done an excellent job with his design and I can't wait to try more shades from this line! I would really recommend these to anyone looking to try something different and willing to spend a little more as you definitely get the quality you pay for. These are now some of my favourites.. Let me know what you think if you have tried them too..

Sephora Mineral Power Brush - 45

Hello all! 

For todays post I am going to be reviewing this Sephora Power Brush (45). 

I purchased this brush on my trip to Rome, Italy this summer. I hunted for it as I had heard good reviews and really wanted to try it as I use powder foundation daily and needed a second mineral powder brush in my collection. It cost $18.50 which is about £15, not the cheapest of brushes out there but it didn't break the bank either so I think it was a good investment.

Firstly this brush is a handy size and would fit in any decent size make up bag or holder. After the first time i used it with my MAC studio fix power foundation i was in LOVE!! The density of the bristles made it easy to pick up just the right about of product and when I put the brush on my skin it was one of the softest brushes I have ever felt. The product buffed into my skin like a dream with even coverage just the way I like it to be. 

I have not stopped using this brush since I got it and it is now a part of my daily routine. It has replaced my real techniques buffing brush which now lives in my handbag. 

Dense bristles = perfect for buffing product into the skin 

Overall i think this brush is one of the best affordable mineral powder brushes I have tried and well worth the price point. I wish there was a Sephora here in the UK as I want to buy a spare to keep in my collection but I guess i have to wait till my next trip to somewhere which has a Sephora store :(

I would recommend this brush to anyone who uses power foundation as the coverage and application is flawless!!

Thanks for reading let me know what you think of this brush if you have tried it

Sephora Fizzing Cubes

Hi everyone! 

Today I will be reviewing the Sephora's 'Fizzing cubes' which are essentially scented bath bombs. I purchased these for $2.50 each on my recent trip to Rome, Italy from Sephora. 

Firstly the packaging of these products come in cute vibrant colours to match their scent and whats really handy is that you can smell the product through the plastic which makes it easier to choose the ones you would like to try. The three scents I bought are strawberry, mango and vanilla which are all sweet scents that I love. 

The first one I used was the mango flavour, I broke the cube in half and placed it into a bathtub filled with hot/warm water. After my shower the scent lingered all day and my skin felt so smooth which I loved. 

These cubes smell amazing!! They are well worth the money if you can get your hands on them!
