NOTD | Barry M + H&M.

Just wanted to post a couple of photos of my nails. I love painting my nails, and I always end up doing an accent nail - I'm still stuck on that trend haha!

I used two layers of Miss Stone Heart from H&M on all my nails then layered 288 from Barry M over the colour on my ring fingernails. 288 is a beautiful silver-grey micro glitter. It's so shimmery and smooth, I love it!

That's it, just wanted to show you what I'm wearing on my nails today! Hope you're having a lovely weekend :)

Dainty Doll Haul | Foundation, Lipstick + Blusher.

Even though Amazon have kind of been avoiding their taxes, tax evasion hasn't stopped me from wanting to shop on their site. Just like it hasn't stopped me laughing at Jimmy Carrs jokes. Or watching Nicholas Cage films (ok, maybe some of the newer ones!).
I had seen a couple of bloggers getting brilliant deals on Dainty Doll products, so naturally I was intrigued and headed straight over to Amazon. They had huge discounts on a lot of the range including the liquid foundations. I really wanted to try the light shade, but it was sold out so I went for medium with the hope that it would match. Thankfully it does - but more on that later. The other two items I bought were a lipstick in Saucy Sailor and a blusher in Lilac.
There are still a few items on sale, and some reduced even further! All of the lipsticks are under £2! Just search for Dainty Doll on the Amazon website and it'll all come up.

Some of the lighting is a bit off in the later photos as the sun was setting. 

The outer packaging is lovely, I really enjoy getting things in little boxes! The design is very pretty and I like the illustration. The actual packaging of the make up is even nicer. Sleek black metal mostly, it feels really high end and sturdy. Always great if you're on the move and need to travel a lot.

FOTD | Rimmel, Dainty Doll + FamousX Leopard palette.

Hello! Are you having a nice weekend? I do hope that you are.

I'm going to get stuck right in otherwise this will be yet another unnecessarily long, rambly post. This look incorporates some newish Dainty Doll products that I wanted to try out (reviews to follow tomorrow or Monday!) as well as some firm favourites.

On to the photos.

I'm getting a little better at liquid eyeliner - still some mistakes, but nearly there!

I sort of tried to do a cut crease type eye thing here, although I'm not sure I succeeded! I still like the way it came out though even if I didn't get the best photos. As you can see I had a bit of a break out, it's not very noticeable in those photos, other than the one on my chin. I think it may have been the Dainty Doll foundation as I had just started trialling it a couple of days before this and my skin didn't handle it well at all. More on that in the review.

Weekly Waffle - Week 13 | Urban Exploration, JT + The Following.

Good evening! It's getting rather late now, but I wanted to actually have this posted on Wednesday for once...

It's been and uneventful week, other than going out on Sunday for a wee dance. That was great fun, it was nice to see my friend as I'd not seen her in a long time. So I cracked out my Jeffrey Campbell Tardys and AA Disco Pants and I was ready to go (don't worry, I was wearing other clothes too)!
Would anyone be interested in seeing my JC collection? I've been planning to do a post on them anyway as they are my pride and joy, haha!

I spent a good 3 hours looking at this blog the other night. I absolutely LOVE abandoned buildings, they are so eerie and haunting. Combine that with some sweet, sweet photography and I'm in heaven or The Kingston Lounge! There's some really interesting and somewhat melancholy histories behind these decaying buildings too, so you should stick around the blog and do a wee bit of reading. Seriously, I read his entire blog in one evening. I found North Brother Island the most interesting - I even ended up Google Earthing it!

I don't have too much else to talk about really! I'll be posting a review about my discounted Dainty Doll products in the next couple of days as well as some other thangs.
The Candy Crush Saga saga continues, to my frustration. I've been stuck on the same level for quite some time!

Topshop Crescent Moon Highlighter | Review + Swatch.

This is a product I've seen reviewed a few times and I instantly fell in love with it, it's the Crescent Moon highlighter from Topshop (£10). I've been getting really into highlighting recently and I've been searching for the perfect one. I think I may have found it!

I'll start off with the packaging as that seems the logical place to begin. Topshops entire make-up range is packaged beautifully, it's something a bit different when it comes to high street make-up. It stands out from the rest of my make-up collection, in a good way! I love the hand drawn quality of the designs and I like the simple colour palette - usually black and white. This highlighter is my first purchase from this make-up range, I've had my eye on a few lipsticks for a while but I cannot justify it as I already have so many!
This compact is white with little stars on it, which I think is adorable. The only downside is that it doesn't have a mirror in it, that doesn't bother me too much but I think it may bother some folk. It is sturdy and appealing to the eye, I guess those are the two main criteria for packaging.

February Favourites | 2013.

Better late than never! Although I have seen quite a few of these posts popping up today which makes me feel better about the slight lateness.
Having an enjoyable weekend? I had work yesterday which was alright, a little busy as can be expected for the first Saturday after payday! Today was spent mostly in my bed. I didn't set an alarm and ended up waking at 2.55pm. Oops, must have needed it though.

Anyway, on to my favourites. This is my first monthly favourites post ever, exciting stuff right?!
