TK Maxx and Boots Beauty Haul!

Sorry to be psoting another haul so soon, but at the time of writing this I'm running around trying to get everything sorted to leave for Uganda, which is in less than a week now! By the time this goes out I will have been there for over a month and will hopefully be having a great time! Anyway, I've been doing a lot of shopping to get essientals for going away, and I couldnt resist getting a couple of new beauty purchases too!



My friend Charlotte tipped me off that TK Maxx had quite a lot of Stila products, so I went to check it out. They didn't actually have all that many Stila products, only a couple of Lip Glazes and a mascara that had been opened by an inconsiderate shopper. I did manage to get a lipgloss though, a Lip Enamel Luxe Gloss in Euphoria, which is a dark, blue toned pink. These glosses contain 3.8ml of product, which is quite a bit more than cult favourite lip glazes, which only contain 2.4ml.  I think this particular line of glosses may have been discontinued, as I cant find it on the UK website. I was able to find it on the US site though. The TK Maxx price for this was only £3.99, a total bargain compared to its $22 reccomended price, which is about £14.30.

Also at TK Maxx I spotted several different trios of Essie polishes. These are the original formula I think, not the new, slightly cheaper diffusion formula. They were priced at £10 for the set. I have no idea what the colours are though, they are marked as Capri, Tangerine and Tangerine, but having googled these none of them are right! if anybody knows what they might be, let me know! Lastly from TK Maxx I picked up Sally Hansens Healthy Cuticles Now! which was £3.99.

Next I headed over to Boots where I picked up a polish from the new Essie Diffusion line, in Sole Mate (£7.99, here) which is a beautiful blackened plum shade. I also got Shadow Insurance from Too Faced, which I have never tried before, but I am in desperate need of a decent eyeshadow primer! (£14.03, here)

Lastly I popped to H&M where I bought this iPhone 4 case for just £2.99! Ive been looking for a completely plain case that wouldnt break the bank for ages, as I want to cover it in completely offensive glitter and sparkles. I like tacky, so shoot me!

Sally Hansen Mega Shine 9 days later!

hey guys, today i have some pictures for you of my nails after nine, i repeat NINE days of wear with the sally ansen mega shine topcoat. they are obviously not perfect, but the chips have only appeared in the last day or two, and they are mainly my fault. any nail tech will tell you that in order to look after your manicure (and nails in general!) you mustn't use your nails as tools. well, i do that. quite a lot. and all of the wear to my nails has been because of it, so bear that in mind!


the top one is my left hand and the bottom is my right hand (i'm right handed, so that one gets more wear!) please please please excuse the horribe cuticles, they are in such a state right now and i had just got out of the shower when i took these pics so my fingers were all shriveled and gross.

the shade of polish i'm waring is my new fave, its by Barry M and its called Red Black and its number 115. its such a gorgeous shade, almost blood coloured, not bright at all, a really deep dark red... i love it so much!

what do you think of Barry M polishes? Whats your favourite shade?

Lucy, xx
