Barry M Gelly Nails Review

What to wear, what to wear…

Clearly I didn’t have enough nail varnish already… So I got myself some Barry M Gelly Effect Nail Varnish. It reminds me of the finish you get with shellac nails, a bit thicker than other varnishes and doesn’t chip so quickly. Barry M is one of my favourite nail varnish brands, they always have the best colours and are quick on the mark with nail art trends too, but at way cheaper price points than a lot of other brands.

They're both so pretty that I didn't know which one to try first. So I tried both at once!

Apologies for the fuzzy photo I forgot to take a photo before I went out for the night. As is quite obvious I’m pretty happy with these polishes. Forever a Barry M lover! <3

New Home | Beauty Storage

So I have fiiiiinally moved in to my new place, and I love it.

I've got so much storage in my bedroom, perfect for beauty products!

Warning. Photo heavy post.

Oh and I had my hair blow dryed on Monday. I wish it was naturally wavy.

Burberry Lip Velvet | Long Wear Lipstick | Colour Swatches

I adore everything about the lip velvet range of lipsticks, right down to the packaging. As you open up the cardboard boxes covering the lipstick you reveal the elegant Burberry lipstick holder, understated but extremely luxe. The mechanism itself to securely close the lipstick is a strong magnet, which when you have a few of your lipsticks next to each other they all line up in a pretty pattern (see images).

Of course it is what’s on the inside that counts, this matte texture is far less harsh than other lipsticks I’ve tried that promise the same thing but don’t deliver. I was given the velvety matte finish, without the dry lips! With just one quick sweep of lipstick across my lips I had full coverage, the pigment is really strong and durable (I had my lipstick on for 6 hours and it was still there when I went to wash my make-up off).

I'd rate lip velvet 10/10, a product I love as it has made an unobtainable trend (matte lips) accessible to people like me who suffer with dry lips!
