Bekas Beauty: January 2013

Pink Corset

For a while I've been all about purple lipsticks, but recently I've veered away to the pink side. This Rimmel lipstick in Pink Corset was the perfect match.

A creamy, pastel pink shade that goes on really easy and looks beautiful at any time of day.

ST Moriz Party Pack

I'm kind of obsessed with St Moriz at the moment. It's just so quick drying, I don't have to stand around for hours to dry off. It's instant.

This party pack really appealed to me because it goes one step further than just an all over tan, it includes the St Moriz Dark Instant Self Tanning Mousse, St Moriz Instant Bronzing Gel and St Moriz Bronzing Powder.

I already know how I feel about the St Moriz Dark Instant Self Tanning Mousse, using a tanning mitt you apply all over and the best thing, you can see exactly where the tan has gone on to banish pesky streaks.

The St Moriz Instant Bronzing Gel for your face is really cool. It goes on really easy and dries very quickly. I put this on before bed and wash off the excess in the morning to reveal an even, tanned looking face.

My new favourite though is the St Moriz Bronzing Powder, super shimmery and high in pigment this looks great on cheeks. I also used this on my collar bone and chest for when I went out in the evening. Really, really love this.

You can buy all of this for.. £8.99 at Xtras-Online

Essie Ballet Slippers

This is my third Essie polish now and I am just in love with the nude range they have at the moment.

The Ballet Slippers polish really stood out to me, it wasn't pure white but it was lighter than the last nude I got.

It takes a few layers to get a solid colour, but in my eyes the shine and finish you get with Essie is worth it for the extra time taken to apply it.

Ballet Slippers = Perfect Snow Nails

You can buy this amazing polish from Boots

Nail Rock Caviar Nails

I've wanted to try caviar nails for aggggeees now, and I finally got round to getting my hands on some when I was making a cheeky purchase on Topshop :)

These Caviar nails look so cute in their packaging, the beads are tiny and I'm a little bit too excited to try this out.

The silver polish that the beads come with is gorgeous in its own right, pure metallic and seriously shiny it's almost tempting not to continue with the beads...

So I apply 2 layers of the layer as directed and dip my nail into the caviar. Pressing down the beads and rubbing off any stragglers.

After having let the caviar dry on, I decided to put on a top coat just for my own peace of mind, I didn't want to keep finding beads all over my bed.

I love the finishing look of these nails, they look really bling and bejeweled All the girls in the office loved them too

Butter Fingers

I have a little nail crush on butter LONDON, they have such a unique bottle shape and design as well as ensuring that your nails remain healthy with a formula that contains no Formaldehyde, no Toluene and no DBP's. Perfect.

Lovely Jubbly is a pretty purple glitter with small pieces to give you that 3D effect that's so big in the nail art world. The quality is amazing and it goes on so easy, with a few layers you get the perfect pigment and shine from this beautiful polish.

My Favourite Hair Oil

I've tried a few hair oils before and even though they haven't been the worst they also haven't impressed so far as improving the quality of my hair.

After having dyed my hair a fair few times last year it was pretty damaged and that's when I came across the L'Oreal Extraordinary Oil.

The main thing I noticed first about this hair oil was the scent, it was INCREDIBLE. Quite possibly my favorite now, once rubbed into your hands it releases a beautiful fragrance and continues this by making my hair smell amazing.

The oil is light with a slight gold hue, I use hair oils on wet hair and dry in because using them on dry hair for me just makes my hair look greasy.

Using a blend of 6 flower oils as well as coconut oil it instantly adds shine and after a few weeks of use the damage caused by dying it is totally gone.

A definite 9/10 you can buy this oil from Boots

Confetti Time

Ahhh I just can't get enough of glitter nail polishes and this addition to the polish collection has made me a very excited lady.

A member of the H&M beauty collection, Confetti Time is a gold glitter polish with a mix of blue and pink blended in for that circus glam that looks great on nails.

Painted over nude nails, this polish really takes the spotlight, effortless nail art is now in your hands.

So get yourselves down to H&M to get your hands on this perfect and pretty polish.
