All that Sparkles
I love everything that glitters/ sparkles at the moment.....nails, tops, shoes and bags!
Since I now have beautiful long nails (fake!!), I have been painting my nails nearly every night. I painted them red and then added a glitter nail varnish (3 coats) on my ring finger! I love the results and quite a few people have commented on them.
Red: Bourjois
Glitter: Rimmel 500 Disco Ball
I also bought these gorgeous glittery flats from Primark. I have this style in so many different colours and patterns as they are unbelievably comfortable and a great price.

Falsies
I have had a terrible habit of biting my nails recently! Yuk. It seems when I get slightly stressed I chew on my nails. To combat this habit I bought Elegant Touch Totally Bare fake nails in Tesco. They are the 'short' length and were a whitish/'plain' colour to start with.
I applied them with the glue provided and then I filed them down - they were far too long for my liking. I then painted them with Nails Inc magnetic polish in Trafalgar Square but without using the magnet!

MUA undressed
There has been a 'buzz' surrounding MUA undressed eyeshadow palette and I bought it around 2 months ago in Superdrug for only £4! I wanted to wait until I had used the product for a while before reviewing it. Since I bought it I have used every shade (as you can probably see by the scuffed packaging) and at different times and occasions i.e. day, evening, on holiday, parties etc.
I have to say that I am really impressed with it! The colours are really easy to wear and usable and as they are soft and creamy. They are easy to apply and blend and the colours have a highly pigmented, luxe, shimmery quality to them.
With regards to the staying power, I find that the colours always last throughout the day. The more nude colours seem to 'fade' faster, but then I personally find that with all eyeshadows. They also lasted really well on a hot holiday - which is always a test!
I could fault this palette - and for only £4 it is even more of a must have!
My favourite shade for the brow bone is shade 1. My favourite all over lid shades are shade 2, 4 and a light dusting of shade 7 occasionally. My favourite darker colour is shade 9- I love it. Shade 13 and 14 are great but only for a more smokey sultry look as they are very dark on - shade 14 has a gorgeous blue quality to it which makes it a bit different.
