Received my iPad 2 today! I'm so happy ^^

This is the white 32GB version, so far I enjoy playing around with it ~

Who says only guy's can collect gadgets?

NOTD: Shining Sugar Coat

I'm back with another NOTD post ^^

Due to the amount of nail polishes I received from a friend, I decided to try out a couple! 

So I decided to use Wet n Wild's Sugar Coat with Northern Light's Hologram Silver top coat ^^

A closer look at the glitter

Sugar Coat is quite sheer so it took me up to 4-5 coats to get it slightly opaque. Nonetheless, it's a lovely colour. With the addition of the glitter top coat, it gives the nail polish an extra boost ^^

Gifts from America! *PIC HEAVY*

Items purchased by my friend from America!

I would like to thank my friend for purchasing these lovely items for me while on holiday in America! Really thank you ^^

First up, nail polishes! Received a HUGE amount of nail polishes from her ~

1. Sally Hansen

L-R: Twinkle twinkle, 812011, 812031 + 812029

The three mini polishes didn't have names so I thought mentioning the number code would help for those looking for them. If you guys know the names, please give me a comment below! Many thanks ^^

2. Wet n Wild

L-R: Kaleidoscope, Hallucinate + Sugar Coat

3. Random 

Northern Lights Hologram Top Coat 'Silver'

Sinful Colours - Beverly Hills

Revlon - Tropical Temptation

As you can see, most of the nail polishes were glitter. That was because I requested for some glittery nail polishes seeing as I only had one in my nail polish collection. I'm glad my friend also put in a couple of non glitter polishes too ^^

Next up, makeup related products!

1. EOS Lipbalm

EOS Lipbalm - Strawberry Sorbet

L-R: Honeysuckle Honeydew + Strawberry Sorbet

Yay for EOS! Another EOS lipbalm to add to my collection. I only had one (honeysuckle honeydew) + I was worried about it running out so I stopped using it for a while. I'm glad my friend picked up an EOS lipbalm for me, also in a new flavour too!

2. ELF cosmetics

ELF Complexion Perfection

This is my first ELF product so I'm quite excited about using it. Complexion Perfection is supposed to create a balanced and radiant complexion, even out skin tone + absorb excess oil. 

I hope this product works as I've heard mixed reviews about this product ^^

3. Milani Cosmetics

Milani - 29A Beloved

This is also one of my first products from Milani. I've never heard of this brand before but this lipstick looks quite nice.

It's a shimmery nude/pink which would be great for everyday wear, I've yet to try this out! ^^

4. Chocolates!

L-R: M&M's Pretzel, Milk Duds

I requested for some M&M's pretzels as you don't get this flavour in the UK. First thoughts? Tasty! 

Milk Duds are chocolate with a chewy caramel filling inside. Also quite tasty ^^

Lot's of hugs for my friend! I absolutely love all these gifts ^^

Make sure to check out her blog, her link is posted above ~

If there are any products you'd like me to review, just post a comment down below ^^

Navy Dress - Republic

Tan Skinny Belt - HM

Heels - Primark

Bracelet - Pandora

Necklace - Tiffany Co.

Just a simple outfit ^^

NOTD: Miami Peach (ft. Chanel + China Glaze)

I'm back with another NOTD post ^^

Haven't posted much this past couple of weeks as I've been quite busy lately ~

Today, I decided to spare some time to do my nails + the polishes which I used were Chanel's Miami Peach + China Glaze's White Cap.

With flash

Miami Peach is a very summery coral looking polish with a slight hint of shimmer which is great for the summer season! I added White Cap on top to give it that extra shimmery-ness ^^

What do you think?

BARGAINS (ft. CHI, Clarins, Lipsy London, TK Maxx + OPI)

Yay for bargains! I was originally up town looking for a new pair of hair straighteners but I ended up buying more due to the bargains I found today!

In TK Maxx, I found two dresses + I paid only £15 for the two of them! The photos below do the dresses no justice. They look so much better on + in real life ^^

Lipsy London

£10

Great bargain huh? £10 for a Lipsy London dress! ^^ 

I am in love with it, the dress comes with detachable straps so you can wear a strapless. It's also very figure fitting! Great for going out in.

Unknown brand

£5

Great bargain for a dress like this! I'm not sure about the brand but the original tag said it was worth over $100 which must be very expensive. 

This dress is silky like + also figure flattering ^^

Clarins Rouge Appeal (#11 Biscuit Praline)

£10

This lipstick in retail prices cost £31. However, I managed to find a stack of these in TK Maxx + was marked £10! Great bargain. 

The colour is a shimmery nude/brown which is great for day to day wear.

L-R: OPI Jade Is the New Black, OPI Panda-Monium Pink

£3.59 each

I've always wanted Jade is the New Black but never thought it would go into clearence but Sallys had it on clearence today! I also picked up Panda-Monium Pink which is a lilac ^^

CHI Volumizer 

£29.99

I've always wanted a pair of CHI's + today I managed to find a pair on clearence at Sallys. However, I'm having second thoughts about it as the plates are a lot thinner and shorter compared to my previous ones (which have broken now). The plates are also curved which isn't something I'm a fan of as its supposed to volumize your hair. 

May return it soon as I'm not really liking this straightener ^^

It's great finding a bunch of unexpected bargains!

NOTD: Chanel Water Marbelling

All I seem to be posting these days are NOTD posts. Sorry for those who aren't interested in these! Had no time to shop yet but I will be shopping soon so hauls may come soon ^^

Today I had some time to spare so I decided to do some water marbelling. I've done water marbelling before + it requires A LOT of effort + time. The results are worth it nonetheless ^^

Products used:

- Chanel Le Vernis Miami Peach

- OPI Alpine Snow

- China Glaze White Cap

- China Glaze Pelican Gray

What do you guys think?
