Beauty UK Polish in Jade !

Just a quick post today to show you the Beauty UK nail polish in Jade. Its such a pretty colour although its much more of an aqua blue/green rather than jade in my opinion.




I just happen to love this colour and ive had a few compliments today which is always nice.
I was lucky enough to win this as part of my prize a few months ago when i won a giveaway with BeautyUK but Ive only just got round to trying this one out. I think its one of those colours that looks much nicer on than in the bottle.

Priced at just £2.49 from superdrug or direct from the website here

Whilst i was looking at the website i noticed they have some rather fabulous looking other nail polishes which i am really keen to try out. Look at this gorgeous set of mini's: I really want to get this set, its perfect for holidays and summer tootsies.

Urban Girl mini polish set £4.99
 
Also i would love to try this shocking pink shatter polish priced at £2.99
I'm waiting for the mini's to come back into stock and then I'm going to place a little order after all £4.99 for 6 new colours is amazing value.

I've only tried 2 of the polishes before but both have been really lovely and smooth to apply with great coverage in just 2 coats and much better quality than a lot of higher priced polishes which Ive tried before.

Have you tried any of these polishes and if so what did you think ?

EOTD Silver glitter !

Silver glittery eyes!


I thought I'd have a little play this morning and here's how it turned out. I wanted a glittery eye that was a bit smokey too. I'm quite pleased with the results and thing this would be nice for a night out or a party .
Products Used!

Beauty UK Metallic Sparks pencil in grey
Beauty UK Eyeshadow palette 04
Holo glitter from www.wimpernwelle.de
Glitter Gel from www.wimpernwelle.de
Clinique cream liner black
Bad Gal Mascara in blue


I applied the Beauty UK metallic sparks pencil on my lid very roughly. This makes a nice deep base and makes it slightly sticky for the next steps. The colour is a beautiful gunmetal grey.


Then i dotted a small amount of fixing gel on top to make the lid sticky

Next i used a brush to pat the glitter on. I love this glitter as its so fine. It is really sparkly but only when it catches the light and so so pretty.


 Then i used the black/white and greys from the Beauty UK palette to add a smokey look to the eye. This palette is incredible value for money. It costs just £3.99 and the quality is brilliant. I've not used this palette much but can't wait to try the other shades out.

 I applied some Clinique cream liner on the top and bottom and smudged some of the Beauty UK grey shadow underneath the eyes.
To finish i applied mascara and false lashes.



Hope you like this look and as always thanks for all your comments. Have a great weekend girlies xx

Dupe Allert For UK Girls !

I know ive posted once already today but this morning i was having a play with the bronzer ( more of a blusher in my eyes ) that i won from the lovely people over at BeautyUK when i thought it looked very familiar so of course i had to check it out for you lovely lot.

Heres what i found :

BeautyUK Bronzer £3.29 Versus Smashbox Gossamer soft lights $30



 They are so similar when applied although the BeautyUK is a bit more pigmented so i dont need to build it up as much. Bearing in mind the price difference i know which one i would certainly go for. This gives a lovely sheen to the skin and i can see myself wearing it a lot in summer.


Yaaay for BeautyUK. This is my first dupe that ive found and im feeling quite pleased with myself ha. xx
