Kim K's White Nail Polish

While looking through pictures of Kim Kardashian (as you do), I noticed how much she wears white nail polish. Recently I've started wearing really pale pink polish's such as Essie Fiji and Ballet Slippers, but I've never found the right white. Ever since I seen Heidi Montag wear white nail polish on The Hills, I wanted to try it out but could never find one that went on without looking streaky.

So, after seeing Kim wearing it, went into Superdrug in search of a white nail polish. I finally settled on Models Own 'Snow White' as I have a lot of their polish's and they are a bargain at £5. It was between that and Essie 'Blanc' but decided to go for Model's Own as it was slightly cheaper and I wasn't sure if I'd like it. 

It only took two coats of the polish for it to go completely opaque and it dried reasonably quick. I like how thick this polish is without being gloopy. 

Overall, this is a really good polish and I think I'll wear white nails more often!

What's your opinion on white nail polish? Do you recommend any?

Benefit: Sun Beam

For years I have used Benefit High Beam, but I'm always looking for a highlighter which was bronze/gold based as I've constantly got my fake tan and bronzer on! I'd seen recently that Benefit had launched a new liquid highlighter called Sun Beam and as soon as I saw it, I was dying to try it. I eventually got round to buying it and have had it for a couple of weeks now.

"Liquid sunshine in a bottle"

Sun beam is a gorgeous gold/bronze colour which looks amazing with a tan, but it also suits any skin tone so don't worry. It gives you a lovely warm glow, a lot different from the usual pink/silver based highlighters.

I use sun beam once I've put my new Chanel Tan De Soleil on (review coming soon) and my MAC Skin Finish to complete the look. I dot it on my cheek bones and on my eye brow bones and gently blend it in for a sunkissed look.

"gives you natural, sunkissed radiance" 

This is definitely the perfect product for summer, although we've not been having much sun! Another product I'll be taking to Ibiza with me (6 weeks to go)! I've been using it for about two weeks now and definitely recommend it. I'm loving this more than any other highlighters I've used before.

Sun beam costs £18.50 and can be bought at the Benefit counters or online here.

 Have you tried sun beam? What's your favourite highlighter?

My Go To Smokey Eye

Products:

MAC Eye Shadow - Snow Season

MAC Eye Shadow - Carbon

Maybelline Gel Liner - Black

Rimmel Kohl Eye Liner - Jet Black

Dior Show Multi Dimensional Mascara - Black

When I'm doing my makeup for a night out I always go for a dark smokey eye as it makes me feel more dressed up. I start with a light coloured eye shadow (either a silver or a gold) and apply it all over my eye lid. I then take a black eye shadow and apply it to the outer corners of my eyes and blend it up to my brow bone using a small, round eye shadow brush. I define my eye using a gel liner along the top lid. I also apply the black shadow to my lower lash line and a black kohl liner on my water line. I finish off the look with loads of black mascara and most of the time fake lashes. My favourite are Eylure 140's. 

What's your go to night time look?

MAC - Impassioned Dupe: Sleek - Candy Cane

(with flash)

(natural light)

For a while now I've really wanted the MAC Impassioned lipstick, but every time I go to my local counter it's always sold out! 

However, in work the other week my friend Kaitlyn showed me her latest lipstick purchase which looked VERY similar to Impassioned - Sleek True Color Lipstick in Candy Cane. Unfortunately I don't have a swatch of Impassioned to show you how similar they are, but there are a few pictures online.

I had to go to three Superdrugs to find this shade as it was sold out in the first two. I managed to get it in the third and it was the last one!

The shade of this lipstick is a sort of pink/coral, which I love. It has really good pigmentation and a lovely creamy formula that doesn't dry out my lips. When it's first applied it has a lovely sheen to it which does wear off after time, however the colour still stays strong for a couple of hours.


Sleek True Color lipstick is a bargain at £3.99 and can be purchased at Superdrug or online here. I'll definitely be checking out the other colours.

Have you tried any of the Sleek lipsticks?
