Models Own Brushes Review

Price: £10
Brand: Models Own
Available From: Boots
Overall score: *****

This 5 pack of brushes is great! It includes a powder brush,lip liner brush, shading brush, angled brush and blending brush. The brushes are absolutely fantastic value for money. The brushes are super soft and are labelled with their purpose so you know when to use them. They come in a clear zip lock bag which helps to keep the brushes  clean. The neon orange is really funky and brightens up your make-up bag!

Nail Colours

How to know what nail colours suit you
There is a simple way to know what nail colours suit you. If you look at the very bottom of your nail (It's usually easier to see it on your thumbs) you should see a sort of half circle. If your half circle is a warm, orangey - pink colour then you suit warm nail colours like orange, red and pink. If your half circle is more purpley - pink coloured then you suit cooler colours like blues and purples.

My fav.Warm nail polishes
1. I love this Rimmel London Lycra polish. The colour, 297 Show Off, is a really bright pink which lasts for ages. The wide brush makes it super easy to apply and it adds shine to your nails. 


2. This Barry M Pink Fizz crackle effect is a must have! It looks so cool over the pink Rimmel London polish and is really easy to do.



3. This Accessorize Bronze Effect Polish is so pretty! It's a bronze, pink and gold polish full of bronze glitter.


My fav. cool colours
1. I <3 this Nails Inc. Houses Of Parliament Magnetic Polish. It's so easy to do and looks stunning! Even without magnetising it the colour is amazing. 


2. This Essie polish is such a pretty deep blue colour. The colour is Go Overboard.


3. This Maybelline polish helps you have super healthy nails. The forever strong polishes are enriched with iron & calcium. The colour Purple Reflects is really sophisticated.

BB Cream Reviews

2012, the year of BB creams. But because they are so popular pretty much every beauty company going has one. So which ones are kind to your face and your pocket? Here are some of my favourites:

Miss Sporty - Morning Baby! BB cream.
At only £3.49 this bb cream is great value. It does everything it claims, it gives a natural look whilst hydrating and softening the skin. It's only faults are although it claims to last up to 14 hours, Up to 6 hours is much more realistic, and the colours both have slightly orange undertones.

Maybelline -  dream fresh BB cream
Slightly more expensive at £6.99 this BB cream gives a light, even coverage. It doesn't leak into pores and is moisturising and gives your face a natrual glow. The only problems can be that the darker shades have a faint fake tan smell to them and it isn't always thick enough coverage to hide all blemishes.


Garnier - Original BB cream
A tiny bit more expensive at £7.49 this BB cream is great if you want a smooth matte finish. It's moisturising, smooth and gives your face a dewy glow. It's only flaws are the light colour is slightly orange and doesn't give smooth coverage over dry patches.

Overall my favourite BB cream is the Maybelline Dream Fresh. You can't feel it on your skin and it gives a subtle glow to your skin.
