Barry M Silk Nail Paint (Blossom)

I'm a huge fan of Barry M, there colour range is fab. When I saw these on the shelves I was straight in there, they looked so pretty.  I didn't really know what to expect from a 'silk' style polish but without a topcoat, the best way to describe it is a shimmery matte end product.

I applied three thin coats, the formula is quite thin, and can drag a bit if you apply this slowly. I found that thin coats worked best, with lots of time to dry in between. they dry down to a soft matte finish with a slight sheen.

I cannot recommend the nail polishes enough I cant wait to go back and pick up some more pastel colours, they are perfect for Spring/Summer.

Have you tried any colours from this line, would love to know your thoughts?

Origins GinZing Moisturiser


Origins seems to be everywhere in the blogging world and I now definitely understand why. As my first purchase from the brand, I have not been disappointed. If you're looking for something to pump energy into your face then I would definitely recommend this product. It's light weight and oil free with a gel texture which feels incredibly cooling when massaged into the skin. My skin feels soft and looks refreshed. Due to the gel consistency it makes a perfect make up base as it doesn't over hydrate the skin. It has an amazing citrus scent! A perfect scent to start the day with.

GinZing Moisturiser also helps to give a bit of energy and life to your skin. In the Winter, skin can easily look tired and dry with long dark nights reducing the amount of sun we get. A skin boosting moisturiser helps to counteract all that and holds onto that Summer glow for a bit longer. It is perfect for dehydrated skin and something I no doubt will be looking to repurchase to use again further into the Winter months. I've been using this for over a month and barely made a dent in it, so this will definitely last a while.

It's at the cheaper end of Origins' moisturiser range too as it's only £23, which is pretty good for a moisturiser that achieves everything it claims to!
