Nails of the Day

Here I am sporting OPI's Dancing in the Isles. I love this polish as it's not too bright/dark and perfect for every day wear. If you can wear nail polish to work then this would be a perfect choice:)






I have used a base coat and applied 2 coats of the OPI Dancing In The Isles. It applies really well like all OPI polishes that I have tried and it doesn't streak. It might even be my new fave lol:)





What's your fave polish of the moment?

Most Expensive Item Tag

The lovely Kelly started this tag and I think it's s great idea. Check out her blog here:http://happy1234make-up-blog.blogspot.com

I tend to buy a lot of expensive items but probably my most expensive item is the By Terry Baume de Rose. This is an incredibly expensive lip balm (£32 at Space NK) and I just had to have it after Lollipop26 mentioned it.

As a result of it being so expensive I am "afraid" to use it up and therefore it is sitting in my bathroom collectiong dust lol. I really must start using it again as it is lovely:)

What is your most expensive item? Do you use it? Was it worth it? Or are you like me and don't want to use it all up lol.

Use Up Any Old Lotions and Potions

Do you have any old lotions/potions lying around? Maybe just a bit too far past their "best"? Things that you wouldn't dare put on your face but your not sure what to do with?


I do :0


Recently I have found a good use for these to save them ending up in the bin and to treat a certain area of my body to some TLC.


I have been putting them on my feet and so far my feet haven't complained:)


What do you do with any old lotions/potions?

Eyelashes To Dye For

Almost everyone is after beautiful long lashes. Unfortuntately some of us are not blessed in that department:((( I have never had really great eyelashes but I have learned to live with it. My lower lashes are especially sparse and also very fair. I am loathe to use any eyelash growth products. I'm just not convinced that they are safe to use and as my peepers are quite important to me I will avoid these products like the plague.



The only solution I have found to do anything for me is eyelash tinting. I had never had this done until I started studying Beauty Therapy but now I do it regularly. I don't like to pay to have this done so I do tint my own eyelashes. It's not easy but it does get better with practice. However I would not recommend this at home and would advise anyone thinking of tinting eyelashes to get it done professionally. It costs around £10 in a salon and will last up to 6 weeks.



Below I have a pic of my own eyelashes. One eye has been tinted and the other hasn't. I do think it's quite obvious which one has been tinted, so there are no prizes for guessing it right lol. I'm sorry about the qulaity of the pic but I need more megapixels!! My current camera only has 5.2. Ideally I would like 10 or 12 but I need to save up for a better camera. In the meantime I hope this gives you an idea of what eyelash tinting can do for your eyelashes. For me I love it because it gives me some noticable lower lashes, it makes any mascara I use much better and if I want to skip the mascara I don't feel as "naked" without it lol







For anyone who can't tell it is my right eye which has the tinted lashes. I have also just tinted my eyebrows (another great treatment if you are lacking in colour in the brows) but the pic was taken before I waxed them. Now they are neat!! I always feel so much better when I have my eyelashes tinted and my eyebrows tinted and waxed.



Do you tint your eyelashes? Have you any other tricks for eyelashes?
