NOTD - Look Beauty Nail Pop in Fetish

I spent the weekend with my family, so no posts over the weekend but its half term (woohoo) only a week but time to get sorted with blogging again.

Kicking that off, we have the anti-summer nail polish. Black nails are meant to be winter shades, but with the weather like this, I might as well rock it now! 

Nail Pop is the nail polish range from Look Beauty. There are loads of colours, but the names are awesome - this one is called Fetish.

An almost gun metal black/grey, Fetish has tiny silver flecks in it which really stand out under bright lights.

The formula is really good, I found this to be quite creamy and easy to work with. It covered perfectly in two coats and was really shiny. It lasted 3 days with no base coat, only really chipping with general wear & tear on the last day.

For £5 the nail polish is well worth picking up, Look Beauty normally have some offer on their products, either on their own site or via Superdrug (their currently 3 for 2!)

What do you think? What are your anti-summer colours? x

Advent Door 17 - Look Beauty Berry Vamp Lipstick & Lip Liner

Evening lovelies, final post from me today!


So at the start of the month, I was searching for a vampy, berry lipstick and was very much in love with 107 from Rimmel, however I was sick of it bleeding so I headed off to find a lip liner to match. 


I didn't find one I liked, however I did pick up the lipstick and lip liner from Look Beauty in Berry Vamp. I loved that the colours were perfect, with both being a deep, purple red, perfect for the winter if a tad dark for my pale skin tone.


The formula is very creamy and pigmented of both the lip liner and lipstick - there was no need to apply a lip balm as it didn't dry my lips out.


You can pick these up from Superdrug or online at Look Beauty for £7 for the lipstick and £4 for the liner, well worth the £11 price tag. I'm still searching for a darker lipstick to suit my skin tone, but for now this has satisfied it!


Have you got a better alternative? xx

Advent Door 12 - Look Beauty Pro Palete

Morning lovelies,

I will hold my hands up and admit that I didn't jump at the announcement of the Look beauty range, it just didn't grab me, however I went looking for a berry lipstick recently and picked one up from Look and this caught my eye.

The Pro Palette is great for the Xmas season, especially those of us who are spending this year at the in-laws and so have to pack for quite a few days. 

Made up of 3 individual palettes containing eye colours, lip colours and blush as well as a removable case to pop your choice of pallet in.

The colour choices are really good, with a pallet for any occasion to create a range of looks. I love how pigmented I found the colours, and they last quite well, very similar to the MUA.

The three collections are:



Metallic Nude:

Good for an every day subtle eye, this was easy to use with a range of matte colours with a few a bit more glittery. The blush is lovely peachy colour, nice for a subtle flush. The lip colours are a tad odd, not overly pigmented but still quite nice on the lip.

Glitzy:

 The party collection, bright colours with lots of shimmer and glitter. I wouldn't use these as a full eye look but as a liner with a wet brush to really add a pop of definition - the blue is very on trend for next season as well! The blush is a good pinky blush, think running through the snow and you're spot on. A good red lip colour, the silver isn't so wearable though!

60's Trend:

+

What draws me is the blush and lip colour more then anything - I love the pinky nude lips and the very natural blush. I'm not sure what eye looks to create with this collections, any MUA's that want to help me out then let me know! 

All of this will set you back for the princely sum of £15, which I think is very good for 3 pallets, alternatively if you spend £10 on Look Beauty products, you can pick this up for free! If this tickles your fancy then head over to http://www.lookbeauty.co.uk/index.php/ and have a look!

What do you think - ideal for the Xmas season? How would you use that final palette?
