I'm sure you guys know by now how much of a fan I am of the Barry M Gelly Paints. I really love how thick they are and how they give such a glossy gel-like effect. I knew the moment that they released some more colours I'd have to pick up a few more. One colour really stood out to me and that was this electric blue. This shade of blue has literally been everywhere this Spring/Summer and I love wearing it on my nails with a monochrome outfit.

Have you tried any of the new shades?

Perricone Acyl Discovery Set - £46.20* c/o QVC

I was so excited to try out this skincare set, I've heard so many great things about Perricone. The Acyl Discovery Set contains four miniature Perricone products; the Nutritive Cleanser, the Acyl Glutathione, the Face Finishing Moisturiser and a No Foundation Foundation.

The one I was most excited to try out was the Nutritive Cleanser which is a daily, gentle foaming cleanser containing Alpha Lipoic Acid and DMAE. Although it says to apply to a wet face and rinse off, I use this in the same way I would use a hot cloth cleanser; so I apply it to a dry face, massage in and then wipe it off with a hot cloth. I am so in love with this cleanser, it just leaves my face feeling so clean but it doesn't strip the face at all. The smell isn't the best but that honestly doesn't bother me because the product is amazing and I'm definitely tempted to buy the full size.

Next up was the Acyl Glutathione which you are meant to use morning and night to help address accelerated signs of ageing. Its a really nice consistency, its feels thick but very silky and light when you rub it in. Although this is probably aimed for older people I feel that I would still be able to use it because it is so light and just leaves the skin feeling so soft.

The Face Finishing Moisturiser is said to help decrease dryness associated with daily activities. I was slightly nervous about this one because I do have super oily skin so I was worried it make my skin too oily. However I was pleasantly surprised, it is slightly thicker than the Acyl Glutathione but it still sinks in really well and it also left my skin feeling quite plump and really healthy looking. I probably wouldn't be able to use this on a daily basis but its great for when my skin needs perking up and a bit of a treat.

Finally the No Foundation Foundation which has high-quality mineral pigments that act as optical diffusers, to neutralise discoloration and even out any skin tone. I was really excited to try this out as I've never really tried a high end tinted moisturiser. Its super light coverage but definitely evens out the skintone however the colour is much too dark for me. Although it adapts to your skintone, I wouldn't really be able to use it unless I had a tan which is a shame because it did feel really nice on the skin.

Have you tried any Perricone?

I went on a nail polish shopping spree a few weeks ago and picked up so many nail polishes that I really didn't need, but you can never have too many nail polishes right?

One of the ones I picked up was this lovely colour from the new Maybelline Nail Polish line. Its a really nice dark smokey purple colour and looks great with neon especially. However I wasn't a fan of the formula of this polish, it just applied really patchy and needed at least three coats to get a nice opaque colour. I just think in comparison to what else is in the drugstore in terms of nail polish formulas this really isn't very good. I do love the colour though so will probably keep on wearing it just for that!

Hope you guys are enjoying the sun!

Santhilea Magnetic Lash Mascara - £24.99* c/o Look Fantastic

I was so excited to try this mascara. Its a magnetic fibre mascara that's said to extend and thicken your lashes giving the effect of natural falsies. I never seem to have much luck with mascaras so I couldn't wait to try this.

The mascara came beautifully packaged and contained two tubes, one contained the Magnetic Mascara and the other contained the Lash Builder fibres. I was seriously intrigued and I also wasn't sure whether it would just be another gimmicky thing that didn't actually work... how wrong was I! You start off by applying a generous layer of the Magnetic Mascara and then while the mascara is still wet you gently apply the Lash Builder fibres over your lashes. I thought this step would be really fiddly but it wasn't at all, the fibres went on really easily and there was no fall down whatsoever. You then finish the effect by adding another coating of mascara.

I love how this makes my lashes look!! They don't quite give the same effect as false lashes but they are a really natural alternative and so much easier to apply. This really makes my eyelashes look fuller and longer. This mascara is also seriously long lasting, the first time I applied it I was constantly checking throughout the day to see if any of the fibres had fallen down and to my surprise they hadn't! I would definitely recommend this mascara, especially if you like your high end mascaras.

What do you think of this?
