*BRAND NEW* Models Owl SPLASH Collection Launching May 15th


Image Credit: Models Own Facebook

Being a nail polish junkie I always love hearing about new collections that brands are coming out with and the other day I stumbled upon a new collection that Models Own will be releasing online today (13/05/2013) and then into boots stores as of May 15th and I seriously cannot wait. 

Although I have a problem with wearing glitter on a acrylics with not really being able to use acetone based removers but I just cant not wear them they are just so pretty!
There are 5 colors in the collection: Aqua Splash, Golden Shore, Pink Paradise, Mermaid Tears and Red Sea. I really hope I can pick up the aqua, pink and purple they look so summery and girlie!

Again these are super in expensive at £5 for the quality of the polish they are very similar to China Glaze & OPI just not with the crazy price tag!!
 
Do you like the collection? or have you seen any other collections that you like?

Review: Models Own Fruit Pastel Collection - Scented Nail Polish

Yet again I am late to the party on an amazing new thing (I really need to some how become more up to date with whats being launch in the beauty world) 
Anyway while in boots the other day I came across and AMAZING mint colored name polish from Models Own and well we all know how I like me some mint nail polish and if you don't well its a lot.
It wasn't until I had wondered round and looked at other products that it said scratch & sniff on the top of the polish. 

I had heard about a few brands doing the whole scented nail polish but I had never actually smelt any and well I must say I am pretty impressed.

They have 5 scents in the collection: Strawberry, Apple, Banana, Blueberry, Grape
They only had a few scents at my local boots I don't think it was the whole collection so it try it out I picked up the mint green (Apple Pie) and the yellow (Banana Split)


I am currently wearing the Apple Pie and Loving it! Very much my color and perfect for the spring/summer (well if you can all the week straight of rain we are going to receive over the next 7 days here in England spring/summer)


I'm actually a pretty big fan of apple scents as a kid I always loved apple flavored candy and now I love apple smelling candles so this was a big hit for me, its a true smell to what a fresh apple smells like. 
My only really annoying this about this is the fact that it can go on a little streaky I have 2 coats on which makes it a pretty opaque color but it off patches its not such a strong color. Not sure if that's my own fault, also I have found the cap become detached from the brush.

I think this will be the next one I paint my nails with I love banana scents and well this does not disappoint it really just smell like a banana and not the artificial banana smell its yummy. 

I have never been a a big fan on Models Own nail polish but after I have tried the few I do own I will be looking out for new polishes from them more often the formula is great and they glide on great apart from the odd patch of streakyness as mentioned above.

I will be on the look out for the other 3 scents for £5 you cant really go wrong especially when boots at the moment have a buy 1 get 1 half price going on :) or you can pick then up from the ModelsOwnIt.com

Hand you tried any of this collection what did you think?

*BRAND NEW FIRST EVER* Miss Glossybox Unboxing & Review May 2013

As some may know here in the UK Glossybox just released a new bi-monthly box called Miss Glossybox. It is slightly different from the currently Glossybox thought it is aimed id say more at the younger late teens early 20's, from just the first box alone it has more beauty items, no actual box its a bag very similar to Birchbox, it only comes once every 2 months and is around £9 once shipping as been added.

I will just say I am very happy with this box it arrived today which was super fast seeing as they only took the payment a day or so ago! I have seen a lot of people complaining on there Facebook page about the products are good an it doesn't total to the amount of the box but I am so happy and impressed with the item I received. My one annoyance though is I like the surprise of these beauty boxes but this one wasn't they posted pictures everywhere when they first launched it of the products we would be getting, now I don't know if that's because its their first box and they wanted to get the word out and give an idea of products but I hope they don't do that every time a new box comes out.

Anyway enough of my rambling lets get on with the box...

Love the green box and the overall design I am actually pretty glad it didn't come in a proper box because I always have way to many of those just hanging around in rooms of the house.


Sneak Peak into the bag!


Anyway lets get into the products...

Amie - Spring Clean Cooling Clay Mask. Price: £4.95 for 75ml - amieakincare.com

This honestly is the most amazing clay mask I have ever tried I have received 2 of these samples from previous boxes and I have actually purchased a full size. Totally worth the money, it has done amazing things for my skin!!

So...? Dry Shampoo - In Va Va Volume and Lovely. Price: £2.49 for 150ml - Saver Stores

Cant say no to a good dry shampoo and one that adds a little volume I am all for that! Plus with it being a little travel size product its going to be great to be able to just throw in my purse for one the go use :)

Molly Mabel Popband - in Green. Price: £4 - £8 - mollymabel.com

Again this is something I have receive in other boxes not by this particular brand but I have from other brands and wow these ones are over priced!! I am sorry but no way in hell would I pay £4 - £8 for a twist band although they have named then Popbands. Ill use it because i really do like these elastic hair ties but yea over priced!

2True Cosmetics - Glitterati Nail Polish in Shade 6. Price: £1.99 for 7ml - Superdrug.com

finally a glitter polish in a subscription box i see all these box reviews from the US with nail polish in them and well you know me and nail polish. Cant wait to try this out when I change my nail polish :)

Beautyuk - Line & Define Eye Pencil. Price: £1.99 - beautyukcosmetics.com

Eye liners are one of those things I seem to accumulate and im not really sure how but this is super pigmented and great staying power! Super cheap for the quality of this great product!!

Eye Rock - Eye Tattoos.

Now this isn't on the card that was in the package so I have no idea how much they cost or were to buy them I haven't really seen them around. I think this is a pretty cool idea thought Id love to figure out a way that this would look good in a look, maybe a future tutorial? let me know :)

Multicolor Nail File & Nail Clippers.

Again another product that wasn't on the info card so not sure on price or were you can buy these. First of all love the design super summery and great travel sized products will be keeping this for the next time I travel :)

Glossybox Heart Lollipop.

I received this in the February edition of Glossybox tastes of strawberries yummy!

So that is everything from the first ever Miss Glossybox very impressed with the first box!!

Thursday Thoughts


Thursday Thoughts

Linking up with my friend Jen over at Ramblings of a Suburban Mom for Thursday Thoughts :)

- Hopefully my Miss Glossybox should arrive tomorrow cant wait to see whats in it, hopefully it'll be a great box!!

- eBay annoys me! I ordered something for my twins birthday in early april from Illinois it arrived in 4 days (Umm WOW) anyways it was faulty so had to sent it back and now it is taking forever for the replacement to arrive. It better be here by Saturday.

- I officially have no TV shows to watch anymore The Walking Dead ended a few weeks back and Son's of Anarchy finished last night. What the heck am I meant to watch now TWD wont be back till October and if I cant find a way to what the new SOA when it airs in the US I have to wait till Jan/Feb of NEXT year not happy about that one!

- Next week I am starting two 30 day challenges Squats & Crunches I hope this will actually do something along with my running.

- I have only had the iPhone 5 since February but the Samsung Galaxy S4 just came in at work and the staff deal is crazy good MUST RESIST!

- Next few weeks I am finally back on having regular days off at work which means I can finally film some new videos I have been so annoyed at myself for not having the time to film once I get home from work :(

- My favorite candle is almost gone. I cant get enough of this scent smell amazing!

So that's all for this weeks Thursday Thoughts :)

What I'm Loving Wednesday


 

It's Wednesday so I'm linking up with  This Kind of Love for What I'm loving Wednesday :D

I'm Loving...

Iggy Azalea - Work.



Just Love this song!! It has been on every music channel I change to cant help singing along!! Beware it does has explicit lyrics if you aren't a fan of that Id find the clean version if you can :)

I'm Loving...

CSI/Criminal Minds.

I have always loved these kind of shows but I have been watching a lot of these 2 on the Living TV reruns. I have I think all of Criminal Minds of DVD now but I have been trying to get my hands on CSI for years with not have to spend a stupid amount of money. Plus I have always secretly wanted to be and FBI agent or a CSI I feel like I could handle the bodies for some reason even thought I have very week stomach haha, but seriously it would be such a cool job. 

I'm Loving...
French Manicure White Tips.

So I finally got my nails filled in yesterday it was well overdue but I managed to snap 2 off and it just looked worse but for the first time I like in nearly a year I decided to go for white tips instead of a color. While have nearly 200 bottles of nail polish myself I am really loving just the french manicure look. This will probably only last a few days and I'll be bored with it haha

I'm Loving...

Summer Drinks.

I love that now the sun is out its more acceptable to order more for the summery drinks at Starbucks and Costa! I'm stupidly excited to be drinking Mango Passion fruit Tazo Tea and fruit blends :) So yummy!


 So that's everything I am loving this week :) 
What are you loving?
