Hurrah! It’s Friday again and time for another Friday Featured Product.
This week I’ve been loving Party Hearty by China Glaze
The most special, Christmassy, glittery nail polish ever.
I checked out quite a few swatch pictures of this over different colours and decided white was my favourite.
Here’s my current nails using Model’s Own Snow White (how appropriate!) with a layer of Party Hearty over the top.
Apologies for the lateness of this post, I totally forgot to post it last night.
Cheap foundation is the name of the game this Friday.
I was doing a post work purge of some birthday money in Boots recently (trying to get those pesky Barry M lip paints) and abusing the 3 for 2, when I found myself with 5 items and the lights being turned off. I grabbed this foundation and fled to the checkout. I was annoyed all the way home- why get another new foundation when you could’ve gone for something pretty (nails, lips, eyes, y’know me) until I used it the next day.
Woah. I just love it. My skin looked so clear and even. Coverage is excellent without cakey. The swatch looked really bad (again, no idea why I initially bought it) but it’s actually an excellent match for my skin tone, the best one I’ve found with a budget foundation.
Collection 2000 Perfect finish is £4.99 and available from Boots and Superdrug
Another hair product this week-Umberto Gianni Grunge Glamour tousled salt spray
This is my first ever salt spray so I’m not expert but I like it.
I wanted one to achieve the tousled bed head of Miss Alexa Chung and found this whilst looking for Lee Stafford.
Firstly, it smells UH-MAH-ZING. Like I’m spraying expensive perfume in my hair. Secondly, it just seems to work. I like to use it on dry hair, either when I can’t be bothered to straighten it or when I want to add volume. I spray and rub in. I’m bad at describing so here’s a before and after.
So here we have sleek hair 
and massive hair
It’s just easy. and smells good.
Grunge glamour is currently £5.49
This week’s Friday Featured product comes from Aussie- Dual personality Coloured hair protection + shine serum 
I got this after dying my hair red last year and it’s been a bit unloved after losing it. I used it before blow drying recently and it made such a difference to my hair. It’s the first ever serum I’ve owned that doesn’t make my hair greasy (I’m even able to put a little through my roots.) It smells good, and makes my hair smooth and soft. Regarding the colour protection- my red hair certainly didn’t fade whilst I used it but I can’t fully say whether that was my hair type or the product.
I use two pumps on my hair as it’s thick, run it through whilst it’s still damp and then blow dry and straighten. My friend has also used it on her naturally curly hair and it definitely helped smooth hers out too.
It’s currently £4.59 in Boots and a curl definition version is also available
This is a new kind of post I’m going to try-let me know if you enjoy them. Each Friday I’m going to be featuring a product on my blog, either something new or something I’ve loved that week or something I’ve re-discovered. You get the picture.
So this week’s Friday Featured Product is Sally Hansen Insta-dry anti-chip top coat
My make up pet peeve is polish that takes too long to dry. I’m way too impatient. I really don’t like Seche Vite. It smells bad, it’s too thick and it makes my polish peel off. So I’ve been looking for an alternative and this ticks all the boxes. It has a really thin formula so there’s no peeling a la Seche. It’s pretty simples to use- paint your nails as many coats as you need, let the last one dry for a few minutes, paint this on top and your nails are touch dry in 30s. FAAAAHBULOUS.
This doesn’t mean that your nails will be completely knock free, but certainly means that you can be off doing other things within a few minutes. It has cut down my nail drying time so much. Longevity isn’t amazing; my nails have been chipping within a few days, but this is nothing out of the ordinary.
I got mine from Boots for £5.95
