Nail Love: Barry M Gelly Hi-shine in Green Berry


The fourth and final Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paint I picked up in London was this number in Green Berry. 

I love the color. It's just bright and summery. I think it'll be so perfect on the toes in summer sandals, too.

As far as application goes, it's slightly streaky. I have two coats on in the picture, and honestly a third one wouldn't hurt. It dries in okay time, especially with my hand cream trick. As far as longevity goes, I can't comment. With the Mavala base and top coats (which stink) it doesn't last a very long time (like one day before chipping), but I imagine that with something like the Revlon Colorstay base and top coats it would be fine.

The color is amazing though!

Available at Boots, Superdrug, Top Shop, etc.

Have you tried the Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine Nail Paints?

The other three colors I've tried from Barry M Gelly Hi-Shine: Lychee, Prickly Pear, Blueberry.

Review: Sleek Brow Stylist (Medium)


The Sleek Brow Stylist was probably the product I was the most excited to try when I went to London a while back. I'm always on the search for the perfect brow product, and a ton of my favorite bloggers rave about the Hourglass Arch thing. I saw this one, and the shape looked so similar. I thought... Dupe?

Review: Super facialist by Una Brennan (Tea Flower Deep Clean Pore Purifying Clay Mask and Neroli Firming Super Lift Night Cream)


When I was in London Boots was on 3 for 2, so I thought I'd take advantage of that to try out the Super Facialist by Úna Brennan range. 

There were a bunch of really interesting products to choose from, but the two that really peaked my interest were the Tea Flower Deep Clean Pore Purifying Clay Mask and the Neroli Firming Super Lift Night Cream.

Bite-sized beauty (what's in my travel toiletry/makeup bag)


Living in Europe, you get the opportunity to take some small weekend trips. With those small trips, you need to pack just as small beauty products. Here are mine that I packed for my weekend trip to Amsterdam.
