Nail That! Barry M Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paint
Wish List #1
It's hard to believe the at the end of is week, we will be in the first month of Autumn. This blog post is a curated listed of items and products that I have my eye on. If I had an endless supply of cash, I would of snapped these up straight away. With the cooler months approaching, there are some items that I NEED, and some things that just add to the wardrobe.
- Mi Pac Duffle Bag - Love stars, love the colour and I'm always beeding a new gym bag or a nicer looking bag to travel with
- New Look Addicted to Shopping Coin Purse - I've got this in mind for a present for a friends birthday, but I want one too. My current purse is too lsim to carry loose change and this would be perfect.
- Blue Q Ice Cream Money - Cute!
- ASOS Quilt Across Body Bag With Double Lock - This would be a nice handbag for work. Loving the colour and its on trend.
- Gold Tone Gem Drop Earrings These match the gold tone stone necklace further down the list. Loving the detail
- ASOS Jewel Leaf Stud Earrings - Very regal looking. Want!
- ASOS Teardrop Mini Earrings These would match the colour of my eyes. Yes, that's my justification for wanting these!
- ASOS Jewel Cluster Earring - I have a night out coming up in September, and the purple and orange mix of colours would go perfect with my LBD
- Gold Tone Gem Stone Necklace Again, loving the colour and details.
- Silver Tone Gem Stone Statement Necklace - Another statement necklace. Very stricking!
- ASOS Gem Stone Bracelet - Would love to wear this to an evening do, like, to a meal. It's elegant.
- Multi-coloured Gem Stone Ribbon Necklace - This is gorgeous. It really caught my eye!
- Black Shearling Lined Longline Biker Jacket - Absolutely need a new coat/jacket for Autumn/ winter. I've even been instore to take it look. The quality is beautful. I've had the same green coat for 3 years and its ripped and falling apart. Time for an update!
- ASOS Mixed Stud Boyfriend Beanie - Of course, to go with the biker jacket
- Eliose Pin Stud Suedette Ankle Boots - Boots are the best item of footwear during winter and to keep on trend with the stud/ the rock/ biker look these would be great.
- Dior 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow Palette Summer Look - this is a piece of luxary I've been admiring over summer. Why change a habit of a summertime?
Caudalie Divine Scrub - I'm a massive fan!!
- Moroccanoil Oil Treatment for All Hair Types - Im Autumn/ winter, I'm always in the market for leave in treatments to keep my hair looking healthy. My hair dresser used this on me and I loved how smooth my hair was after!
- Sexy Hair - Healthy Sexy Hair - Soy Tri-Wheat Leave In Conditioner Again, looking for a conditioner that can treat my hair and replenish lost moisture. Heard and seen good result with this.
Looking at the list, I noted that I might have an obsession for gemstones right now. It has been awhile since I bought any kind of jewellery so I am possibly over compensating or turning into a magpie. Either way, I love all my choices.
Why's on your wish list at the moment? I would love to hear from you. Leave a comment in the section below

Maybelline Volum' Express Mascaras: Which one to choose? A Quick Overview
The Maybelline Volum’ Express range has many types of mascara
that is can difficult to decide which is going to be the better one for you. It’s
like a “gotta catch them all” situation. Available to the UK, there are 6 different types of Volum’
Express mascara (all listed below) and some even have a sub-types!! Argh!
Choices…..choices…decisions…decisions...
Honestly, it has been a game of trial and error in knowing
which suits you best. But, like me, you all don’t necessarily have the bank
balance to be able to ‘willy nilly’. Therefore,
to help with this dilemma, I have dedicated a blog post that gives a brief overview
of the mascara’s in this range to de-confused and hopefully help you make a
inform decision!
**
Maybelline Volum’
Express ® The Falsies Mascara: I have the original version of this that
claims to give a false lash effect. There
is a “Black Drama” edition that has a black lace pattern on the wand that’s “extra
matte” and extremely black, leaving a more intensive, dramatic finish. In
addition to the Black Drama version, there is also a “Flared” edition that has
a brush that curves. This brush is thicker and denser than the standard “The
Falsies” brush. This is also available in waterproof.
**
Maybelline Volum’
Express ® The One by One: I haven’t tried this one yet. It’s not been
available in my local stores to give this one a go. It claims the “Lash Catcher
Brush” helps lashes look x4 more volumised without any clumps. The brush is
very similar to The Rocket brush. However, it has an oval shape with more
bristles. Best results for those with full lashes, whether long or short. It’s also available in waterproof.
**
Maybelline Volum’
Express ® The Mega Plush: This is Maybelline’s first gel formula that uses
40% less hard wax to create mega volume. This is ideal for you lucky ones who
have longer lashes of the rounder brush pick up the lash better. If you have
shorter lashes (like me) than this can leave a spider eye effect. It also leaves a velvety finish.

will insert when I find it (thanks)*I
Maybelline Volum’
Express ® The Rocket Mascara: This is my favourite out of the Volume’
Express range. Click here for a further in-depth review on my blog. It claims
to offer the biggest amount of volume (x8) thanks to its fine “flexi” bristles
brush. It has a round brush, with very small bristles at the tip of the wand
that gradually fan out into a standard length. The formula is sleek and glides
on smother than the others. It provides a good lift for all lashes.
**
Maybelline Volum’
Express ® The Colossal: Formula is enriched with collagen and with a bigger
brush. This is available in 3 different shades. Like the Falsies Mascaras,
there is also two other sub types. The “cat eyes” version has a leopard print
effect on the wand. It’s the same formula, just a slightly different brush,
called “the claw”. It’s very similar to the curved brush for “The Falsies” but
longer. It grips onto lashes and flicks
them out to give a more extended look. The “smoky eye effect uses kohl pigments
that leave a deep, matte finish. Great if you have lashes that are limp that is
difficult to curl!
**
Maybelline Volum’
Express ® TheTurbo: The brush is
standard. It’s the ‘old school’, average
wide and length brush. It claims to be long lasting with an anti-clumps brush
to quickly thicken lashes. I wasn’t impressed with it results so I throw it
out!
I like the packaging for all these mascaras. They all have
vibrant, funky colours and patterns so it is easily to identify which is which
in your make up collection. I found that all the formula tends to be similar to
each other, but it’s the brush that appears to make all the difference.
Hope this post helps some of you out there. Please comment
below what your experiences are of using the Volum’ Express range!
