Sugarpuff

the smell of this product is divine and I have to say I am partial to the neutrogena skin care lin

e as my skin is particularly prone to break outs, along the jawline and on my neck. Around time of the month this is when we get it at its worst, which is always what we ladies need to make us feel even better!

So... whats it like, well it has the most gorgeous smell which is lovely to wake you up in the morning. The consistancy is like a gel and I have this in the pump bottle so one pump is sufficient to do my face and neck so this product will last a while. My skin does feel slightly tighter and has that lovely smooth sensation you get when you try a new skin care product.

What I want to know is does it work...? The only way I can try this is by starting a proper skin care range up. (I am so lazy with this, I always start well and buy all the products to cleanse, tone and moisturise, by the end all I am doing is washing my

face and moisturising). So this time I vow to do things differently and have invested in the products I know I will use, which if I stick to we can include some more! haha

So I am going to wash my face morning and night with the neutrogena and use my new beautiful vichy moisturisers day and night. These products are from the Norma Derm range and cost around £12 each but I am currently loving them so will be reviewing them in their own little review that they deserve!

So project skincare has officially started, I will update you as to how I get on!

After much searching I managed to pick up the much coveated by beauty bloggers Barry M nail paint in Mushroom. Although i love how this colour goes on non streaking formula and not really needing that many coats (although I have now applied 3 coats), the a

ctually colour doesn't look that amazing with my skin tone. It looks on

me more like a grey colour than a beige which isnt really what I was expecting or hoping it would be like :( I think I was hoping that it would be similar to the Nails Inc colour that I believe they were giving away a while ago when you buy two bottles of coke. Its not that the colour is offensive and I am going to take it off, but I dont think its going to be up there with my favourites like the coral polish.

Superdrugs are running a 2 for £5 on Barry M nail polishes at the moment so I also picked up pink flamingo which with a tan I think will look really nice! Sitting next to my coral polish in my collection it has a similar kind of tone to it. The pink being very warm more orange than blue in the colour mix which seems to really suit a tan!

I love a lot of the brighter colours but when you are as pale as me I think they can make you look a lot paler and look alot better when you have a tan or have darker skin. The new ice cream shades will suit my pastey complexion so think these will be next on my list. Although I am really loving the colour racing green with slight excitement that I can wear this when we really get into the horrid British winter. There is something about having painted nails that can really change your mood!

The latest collection they were promoting seemed to be the dare to wear collection which was really bright and in hindsight would have been really good to have in my collection as they were all wearing what seems to be the Sh

ock-a-holic which was a gorgeous bright purple. But me being me... I think I a am a Bobbi Brown girl at heart went for the more subtle tone:

Juxt - a beautiful pearly green

Coral - gorgeous orangey pinky colour

Bronze - which of course is a lovely bronzey goldey colour

The green, and bronze have a gorgeous pearly glow but the coral is a matt colour.

As all girls do the fun is trying it on so here we go:

The products are really bright here as I have used them wet and also the lashes are gorgeous ones from poundland believe it or not!

I have still religiously followed other blog writers so I feel that it is now time to return to the blogging sphere!

So I know that everyone has already blogged a billion times about Barry M but I am now officially feeling the Barry M love - for their nail varnishes only though. So much so I am not sure why people are buying other brands? At £3 each and such amazing polishes I am not sure why you would!!

The colours I now have in my possession are:

Raspberry,

Coral,

Pure Turquoise

The Pure Turquoise looked perfect with my tan after coming back from Tunisia!

The application is so easy unlike I have found with some of the Nails Inc polishes it goes on very easily and is easy to control for someone with not so a steady hand like me. The only thing I would say is that you need a minimum of three coats to get a good colour (i.e. how it looks in the bottle!) If thats the only downside I think at that price tag I can handle that.

I wore the coral colour on my toes in Tunisia for a week and it did change colour, not sure if that was the chlorine or if it was just the sun but it changed to a beautiful light orange colour. Not sure what some of the other colours change to but that worked quite well!

I am off to go to mac and check out the new collection so will be back with a haul post!

Hula84 if anyones interested! Let me know if there are any really interesting ones to follow - loving Alan Carrs comments so far :)

 this dress was from Joy (I absolutely love this shop) they sell clothes/ jewlerry and shoes from different brands (but not the ones

 you would normally see anywhere!) This dress is fitted and figure hugging with a tulip skirt that wraps over.

I also got: 

Then I headed on to the All Saints sale and got this lovely number:

This was half price in the sale I wasnt too sure about the shape at first as it is very fitted at the top and then goes out at the hips but I think it would look good with some gladiator high heels and make up wise either dark dramatic smokey eyes and dewy skin or au natu

relle with a statement bright lipstick.

I also purchased the following from Primarni:

The flip flops were cute, at £1.50 each how can you go wrong. One is black with leopard print on the bit that goes between your toes. The second pair are red bottomed with white and cherries on it very cute. I also picked up two bikinis - halter necks. I couldn't make my mind up so bought them both. Both top and bottoms have frills on which are cute although I didn't think I'd like it before I tried it on! 

O and a Barry M lip gloss to finish off - never tried these before it tasted lovely and was a bargain. I bought this in number 4 but was so disappointed with the colour it just comes out as my natural lip colour with a sheen. it does seem to last quite a long time, just need to remember it comes out fast :)
