L'Oreal Nude Magique BB Concealer

L'Oreal Nude Magique BB Concealer £5.99 Boots

I have a little concealer habit at the moment and naturally couldn't resist picking up the concealer L'Oreal have bought out to go with their BB collection. It comes in one shade that blends out to suit all skin tones and apply's with the roller ball built into the tube. It has a really thin consistency a little like it's BB cream counterpart however it is pretty pigmented and really brightens up the under eye area. It says it has caffeine in too which I'm not sure really does anything noticeable but the cool metal ball does really wake up your eyes in the morning just from it's temperature. L'Oreal have marketed this for eye bags and imperfections - I personally find it too light and thin for any blemishes but it is a lovely concealer for the under eyes. I think I'll get lots more use from this when the weather starts to warm up and my skin is naturally more glowing. It fits really nicely next to the BB cream by the brand and is a nice extra to the range.

L'Oreal Collection Privee By Cheryl

 

 L'Oreal Collection Privee Lipsticks £8.19 Boots

The last thing I need in my collection is another nude lipstick but there I am surrounded by 3 for 2 signs in Boots swatching everything in site. The L'Oreal Collection Privee lipstick range is made up of 6 shades all chosen by the 6 L'Oreal spokeswomen the 6 shades are described as:

Doutzen Kroes: Barely Pink. A combination of freshness and femininity with a sprinkling of softness. The way this barely pink nuance melts into any type of complexion gives it indispensable elegance.

Julianne Moore: Barely Peach. Sensual and delicate to the extreme, enhances the radiance of pale complexions and endows them with elegance  and sophistication.

Eva Longoria: Barely Golden. With a hint of gold added, the best to capture the radiance of matte skin and sublimate the complexion, the sun‑kissed effect is worthy of the influential woman!

Freida Pinto: Barely Parma. Perfect for emphasizing the delicacy and elegance of the amber complexion. The ultimate in refinement, this shade evokes a freshness as well as sheer sophistication.

Cheryl: Barely Greige. Ultra-chic and rich in iridescence, barely greige offers a discreet contrast to the skin, thereby enhancing the natural beauty of the complexion.

Liya Kebede: Barely Moka. A barely brown nuance that adds a charming shade to the lips for a contrast to dark skin that comes up trumps.

I naturally picked up Cheryl's shade in barely greige. I really loved Julianne Moore's barely peach but I think I just love Cheryl a little more so that's why it ended up in my basket. I adore the packaging of this range it feels super luxe and the hint of gold against black makes it a gorgeous addition to my lipstick collection. The lipstick has a good pigmentation and a lovely creamy finish. I've been after a less pinky nude to my favourite MAC in hue so this fills that spot perfectly.

Essie - Brooch the Subject (773)

Essie Brooch the Subject £6.95 Cheap Smells

I picked up Essie 'Brooch the Subject' in the Fragrance Direct Essie for £1.99 offer which is sadly no long on but this shade is available at cheap smells for £6.95 which is a little cheaper than the £7.99 RRP. I really like Essie polishes and this is not exception. It's a lovely nude shade that is more cream toned than my favourite Models Own Nyla Nude which is more pinky.

I found it needed 3 coats to go completly opaque which is fine if you have the time. It lasts really well and didn't cheap throughout the working week which was a huge bonus! Overall for £1.99 I really can't complain having to use three coats is a little annoying as Models Own is never more than two. It's a very subtle almost skin like shade of nude which is perfect for polished nails at work and everyday.

Basil Street Nails Inc.

My name's Georgina and I am addicted to Nail Varnish. 

There I said it ... I am a full on nail varnish, nail art, nail wrap addict.
I have well over 50 colours in my current collection with more being added nearly on a weekly basis.
My favourite brands when on a budget are Barry M and Models Own, however if I want to spend a little extra I will always buy Nails Inc.

In my December subscription of Glamour magazine a free full sizes Nails Inc nail varnish was included. I never usually get excited about these things as find the colours in freebies are always pretty unwearable. However this month's included maybe my favourite nail colour of all time - Nails Inc Basil Street.

I've been using it for the last few weeks and it is the perfect day time nail colour. Nails Inc. are known for the amazing quality of their polishes and of course this doesn't change with this edition. I've got alot of nude shades but have never found one as spot on as this. 

It is available from the Nails Inc. website  

It's pretty hard not to want every single colour on their site, their Heathrow matte finish is definately next on my Christmas list.
