quick nail post #10.

mattified and metallic.

It is none other than #ManiMonday so I thought I'd show you what I've been sporting on my nails as of recently.

I've never been one to follow trends directly, so this fall for me is not about dark, vampy colours but more about textures. I am once again in love with matte finishes, especially on natural looking colours, and I think metallic nails compliment this very well.

Be sure to check out all of my other NOTDs! 

Are you into matte nails? Are metallics too much for this season?

girls. - deborah lippmann nail collection.

I'm not one to watch too many series' on TV, but when I do, I get disgustingly engrossed in it and dedicated to it.

Like many people all over the world, when I first watched an episode of Girls, the entire time I was thinking 'what the hell am I watching?!', but this only made me want to watch it more...and now I love it! So when I discovered that a part of their official merchandise was a nail polish collection collaboration with Deborah Lippmann...three words: gotta have it.

Girls Deborah Lippmann Nail Polish set of 4 - Limited Edition - £30*

The set comes with four colours with each one representing one of the four main characters.

I love the bold difference between each of the colours, all showing a clear representation of the four characters. My favourite colours are Hannah's and Shoshanna's...and evidently they are my favourite characters on the show!

Be sure to check out the set and also take a look at all their other official merchandise.

What are your favourite colours/characters? Are you a fan of Girls?

my body shop experience.

 

I recently paid a visit to my local Body Shop as they were doing a special event evening. Members of the loyalty card got a discount on top of any current promotions in the store as well as a free gift. I am a huge fan of thier body butters and I am constantly stocking up when they have sales and promotions, but surprisingly enough, I didn't have a loyalty card.

 

As well as wanting to try out something from their new Honeymania collection, I was also on the hunt for some new skincare, so I took this opportunity to go into store and try my luck. 

I have to say, the girls in the store that day were AMAZING. I had three girls telling me about a whole range of different products; telling me about their experiences, explaining how they would benefit my skin and letting me test out the products. I didn't feel as though they were pushing me to buy products (which I hate!), but they were genuinely asking about that type of skin I had and what problems I had with my skin, then using this information to recommend products from different ranges within the store. 

I did end up signing up to the Love Your Body rewards card and getting a bunch of stuff so I thought I'd also do a little haul.

 

honeymania body butter - £13 £6.50 / tea tree night lotion - £9 / vitamin c microdermabrasion - £13 / tea tree facial wash - £5 free

And these were my free gifts:

 

chocomania body scrub - £12.50 free / vitamin e moisture mask - £12 free / vitamin c face spritz - £9 free

As this is my first time really using a lot of Body Shop skincare products, I'm very eager to try all of them and see what the results are.

Do you use Body Shop skincare? Would you recommend their products? How is your Body Shop experience?
