Review | Barry M Chisel Cheeks Contour Kit

Barry M's Chisel Cheeks Contour Kit is a great place to start if you're looking for a good quality contouring product without breaking the bank. This is a great and more penny-friendly alternative to such kits as the Anastasia Beverley Hills Contour Kit, (which retails at £39). Barry M's recent launch of the 'Chisel Cheeks Contour Kit' provides you with three good quality powders - a light, banana coloured powder to set concealer under the eyes and to highlight, a warm matte brown to bronze and then a darker more cooler toned matte brown to contour. All powders are smooth with great pigmentation and very blendable. I think all these powders would work with any skin tone depending on how heavy you apply them. Another great aspect of this kit is the simple instructions they provide under the lid which help you if you are unsure of where to put each shade on your face. The kit is retailing at only £6.49 in Superdrug and Boots.

Spring Nails | Perfect Pastels

With the rare appearance of the sun this week and the chilly air it's really beginning to feel like spring is on its way. The first thing I think about when I think of spring is pastel colours and I think there is nothing better than sporting a pastel shade on your nails during springtime. Here are some of my favourites. 

Barry M Nail Paint in '304 Mint Green'

I bought this nail paint probably about a year ago and I was obsessed with it. I love the colour, however the consistency is pretty runny and thin so you must have patience to build it up. I usually have to apply near 3 coats for it to be totally opaque but once it is it looks fab!

Rimmel 60 seconds Nail Polish in '503 Mind the gap, Victoria'

A very funny name, but this is a pale blue polish with lilac undertones. I have so many of these 60 seconds nail polishes from Rimmel because they're so good! They dry extremely quickly which is great because I don't have a lot of patience to sit and wait for my nails to dry. I love this blue shade - I think it would look so good with a tan.

Rimmel 60 Seconds Nail Polish in '500 Caramel Cupcake'

Another Rimmel pick - I bought this colour a while back when 'nude nails' were the in thing but I find myself using it a lot during spring and summer because it's a nudish brown it's such a subtle, easy colour to wear and it dries fast! It's an ideal colour for that 'no nail polish, polish look'. Very elegant! 

MUA Nail Polish in 'Lush Lilac'

I picked these up in Superdrug quite a while back because there was some sort of deal on and I had never tried anything from MUA before. I picked up three, including this one which is a very pale lilac, almost white and I love it. Considering these nail polishes retail at £1 each, their quality is surprising - they apply well and you don't need many coats unlike that of Barry M. They dry fast too, however, the only downside is that they chip quite easily but if you don't mind reapplying every few days its not a problem.

MUA Nail Polish in 'Strawberry Crush'

Another MUA polish which was part of my deal of 3. Same goes for this polish, such as a lovely candy pink colour but it does chip relatively quick but for £1 a polish you can't go wrong!!

What are your favourite nail polish colours for spring?
