Nails: Essie, Ballet Slippers

Ballet Slippers

You know the feeling well a much hyped product just leaves you feeling a bit underwhelmed? Unfortunately that is a feeling I got when applying the infamous Ballet Slippers by Essie.

I'm usually a big fan of Essie polishes and I think that’s the reason why I was so disappointed. I found the consistency very watery and it would gather around the edge of my nails, it also took a very long time to dry and the second coat didn't go on too smoothly. I actually ended up removing it and starting again I was that unimpressed with it.

Having said that, once I finally had a look I was happy with I really liked the colour. I opted for this as I had a job interview and didn't want anything to ‘out there’ or off putting and Ballet Slippers is perfect for giving you that manicured look.

What are your thoughts on Ballet Slippers? I’m looking to pick up Fiji next but do you know if this has the same thin consistency, or is it just the more sheer colours that do?

Rimmel Apocalips | Celestial

Celestial- £5.99

To be honest when I first heard about the Rimmel Apocalips I wasn't overly excited but as usual after reading many reviews I found myself perusing the isles of Boots hunting them down.

I decided to go for Celestial, a pretty pearly pink that’s perfect for every day. The formula applies so easily, it lasts on my lips a good few hours and doesn't leave my lips feeling dry. I did find that it made its way onto my teeth quite easily but I'm not sure if that’s me being an idiot applying it in too much of a rush?

I’d quite like to try out Big Band next which is a really vibrant red but I'm not sure if I'm brave enough to pull that off yet.

Have you dabbled in the Apocalips yet? What’s your favourite shade?

Once again I can't believe it's already Monday morning where does the weekend go!? I had a job interview this morning to work in corporate event sales and got it! I'm just so worried about working on commission though as I've never done it before and obviously I have bills and rent to pay so I'm really scared! Does anyone else work on commission? Do you find it's worth it? would love your thoughts.

what did you get up to this weekend?

What's In My Bag Tag

What's In My Handbag

Today's post is giving you a sneak peak inside my handbag. I love these types of posts as i'm quite nosy and I always see little bits that I wish I had in mine. I have cheated a little bit and taken all my receipts out, I tend to just stick them in there after I've got petrol and sometimes I do forget to take them out and I really don’t think that makes for a good blog post.

The bag I use nearly every day is my Fiorelli Shopper. I love this bag and it upsets me to say that it is starting to look a bit worn but until I find the next ‘The One’, I will continue to use it.

Most importantly I carry around my Iphone and this may sound geeky but I can’t remember life without it. I Love having the camera at the ready and being able to catch up with blogs on the go. I got the cute little diary from Poundland so I can quickly jot down any plans and appointments. My boyfriend is also quite forgetful and I have to remind him of things all the time so I keep his events in here too. My Purse…doesn’t really need explaining.

The most Boring thing is my contact lenses case, I always keep one with me in case I have to take my lenses out for any reason of if they start to dry up. Oh the glamour.

The beauty bits I carry round are just in case I need to re-apply or I'm going out after work and I want to hide that ‘I've been up since 6am’ look. This pretty much includes concealer, a lip product and sometimes a cheeky spritz of Caudalie Beauty Elixr. I also like to keep some Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder and some Vaseline with me at all times.

A hairbrush is always essential for my mop so this compact brush is perfect, I know it has a mirror inside but I also like to carry this No7 which I got for Christmas just because it’s pretty.

So that’s the secrets of my bag. Let me know if you have done this tag too.
