TOP 10 | Spring Nail Polish Picks

As it is finally feeling like Spring weather I decided to pull out my 10 favourite nail polishes that I think are perfect for Spring and the warmer months.

INSTYLE MAGAZINE NOVEMBER | Napoleon Perdis Freebies

It's always nice when you get a freebie with a magazine and generally if I see a good mag with a free item, I'll more then likely buy it! Instyle is a great fashion and beauty magazine and I have been reading it on and off for years and years and when I saw that the November issue came with 3 free Napoleon Perdis products, well I couldn't get to the counter faster!

e.l.f. [eyeslipsface] | Haul from No Little Fool

The site No Little Fool is a very new, NZ based site that sells some e.l.f, Sleek and Wet N' Wild things at really cheap and reasonable prices, specifically for e.l.f. products! Through NZ retailers, they can be over $12 for a Contouring Blush & Bronzer, which is pretty steep considering how cheap you can purchase them off US places (but I guess you have to factor in shipping/tax etc). I was so happy to find this site with e.l.f. products starting at $5 and the shipping is $5 or less. It arrived in about 4 days, was packaged so well and even had a few fruit bursts thrown in there - very impressed!

MUA | The New Matte Palette Review + Swatches

The Matte Palette from MUA (or Makeup Academy) was a new release a couple of months ago, with much anticipation. MUA are well known for their inexpensive eye shadow palettes, that are often great dupes for higher end brands, such as Urban Decay. I was so happy when this little gem turned up on my doorstep (in a rather large order... see haul post here) and I have been using it the past month giving it a good test run and I have to say I am very happy with my £4.00 - approx. $8 NZD - purchase. It is well worth grabbing if you get the chance and has just recently come back into stock as it sold out pretty quick from its first run, find it here.

NOTD | Spring Inspired - Orly Harmonious Mess + China Glaze All A Flutter

I recently brought an ORLY mini set called Mash Up, which I included in my Mini Mani series and this was one of the polishes that came in the set, called Harmonious Mess. Words can't begin to say how much I am in love with this colour! It's a pastel purple/blue and I think it would look amazing on all skin tones and just makes me feel happy that it is spring time! Application was great, smooth, even and fully opaque in 2 thin coats.

MOST LOVED | October '13

Let's all just say it together... "I can't believe how fast this month has gone!" But honestly I don't know where 2013 is going, Christmas is in 2 months (although all the shops seem to think it's tomorrow) and I only have one more exam left, till I'm free for the summer!

I have a few products that I have been loving this month, although I feel like I spent most of the month make-up free studying away in my room, but the products I have been grabbing I just have to share. I also have some brilliant albums which have been on constant repeat this month.
