Wish List.

EOS Smooth Sphere Pomegranate / Blueberry Acai Lip Balm is something that has forever been a cult product for a lot of people. It states it’s a luscious lip balm, which delivers the perfect balance of flavour and moisture. Rich in Antioxidants and Vitamins, Smooth Sphere Pomegranate Lip Balm has a 100% natural and 95% organic formula, which helps to nourish and hydrate the lips. A blend of Shea Butter and Jojoba Oil works to soothe the lips and provide long lasting moisture. I never wanted one of these little lip balms mainly because they were so difficult to get hold of, however now that BeautyBay.com is now selling them, I’m incredibly eager to try one.
Kiss Everlasting French Wrap Kit promises a salon-perfect french manicure. It states it a easy and fast way of achieve the perfect french smile line without polish, right from home. A flawless french manicure that lasts up to 2 weeks without chipping! Now, I know I did a post about how much I loved the Elegant Touch Flawless Manicure Kit, which is very similar to this, however the upside of this Kiss version is that it allows you to purchase refills of the tips. Alongside this, they state they last longer as the Elegant Touch version promises a week, where as this one promises 2 weeks.

Magnifibres brush-on false lashes promises to instantly lengthen lashes by up to 5mm. This little product claims to create stunning false lash effect in seconds all you have to do is simply brush on the natural fibres between coats of your favourite mascara to add incredible length and volume. I haven't ever used false lashes before, mainly because the glue that you use with them worries me. Due to having sensitive eyes I get worried about using glues, mascaras and liquid eyeliners. However, this states its suitable for sensitive eyes, so I'm hoping it would be a great alternative to false lashes. 
OPI Nail Envy Soft & Thin nail strengthener promises to fortify and strengthens weak, thin and damaged nails. Featuring proven Nail Envy technology, Nail Envy Soft & Thin is enriched with extra Calcium and a blend of Sea Minerals and is formulated especially for soft and thin nails. Designed to infuse strength, health and vitality into weak, thin and soft nails, this high-performance nail treatment is easy to apply and delivers long lasting results. I’ve been using the Original Nail Envy for the past couple of months, and as much as I like it, my nails become soft and thin again between using it. Therefore it made me wonder if I wasn’t using the right one, or the one that might benefit my nails most. I think I will definitely give this a go, and maybe buy and use the OPI Maintenance Envy to help maintain my hopefully healthy nails between treatments.

Nail Envy Original Nail Strengthener

I've heard so many bloggers rave about the O.P.I nail envy nail strengthener but as much as I try to avoid being a sheep this was on sale, so I'm adding to the hype!

I always use some type of nail treatment as a base coat and I must admit that I never really notice a difference with these products because I assume that naturally are just really weak from acrylics. BUT...with this I must say there was a noticeable difference. When I'd had it on for a couple of weeks under various other nail polishes and then removed it my nails were literally ROCK HARD (like, you cannot bend them at all) I'd go as far to say that it would be quite a challenge to break one (not that I'm going to try). 

The consistency is quite runny when you apply it so try to scrape a little bit off the brush beforehand or you'll end up with it all over your fingers. It also does take a few minutes to dry so if you use it as a base coat like me then I would advise leaving your nails a while to ensure its dry before applying a colour. I have experienced quite a bit of streaking over the past couple of weeks when using this so I need to investigate further into whether it is this causing it or the polishes I'm using, maybe I'll try applying a base coat over the top of this as well.

I’ll be honest, I’m not sure I would pay £18.75 for this, however whilst ever BeautyBay have it on sale for £12, I think I will carry on buying it. On the other hand, I might try the sensitive one as my nails have more of a tendency to peel.

Have you tried any of the OPI Nail Envy products?

Vintage Minnie.

OPI - 

Vintage Minnie Mouse Collection

This collection brings us 4 new polishes, all pink or red. Usually I wouldn't be excited about a collection like that but it's inspired by Minnie Mouse so I am an instant fan!

OPI states: "Created in honor of Disney’s beloved character, the colours encapsulate Minnie Mouse’s irresistible charm in playful, pretty shades of pink and red. This collection brings together the expertise of OPI and the iconic style of Minnie Mouse to inspire the distinct palette of vibrant, feminine shades for summer Nails will pop against summer skin in these classic, saturated hues – holding their own alongside the bold prints of the season."

Many people will look at these shades and think how very original they are, and are not really that spectacular, however I'm not one of those people, and I really love all the shade. Due to me living in the UK, the release data's are slightly behind as this collection has already been released in the USA, and also on a few UK beauty websites such as BeautyBay.com. As I haven't got an account with them, and also because I go away tomorrow, I thought I would wait for the Minnie Mouse Mini Collection to be released on HQHair.com, hopefully not long after I come home.

Firstly, I must highlight these images I have borrowed from Google, however specifically the swatches image, I really think it highlight how stunning the shades in this collection are! Therefore lets get onto the shades themselves.

Its made up of four shades; two pinks, a red and a sort of glitter topcoat which has little hearts within it. I will work from left to right in accordance with the swatch image;

- The first is called "I'm all ears", this is my favourite out of them all, a raspberry jelly packed with magenta, silver and fuchsia glass flecks. This is such a lovely polish!

- Secondly is "If you moust you moust", this is a medium pink creme, it's a pretty and sweet shade of pink that is very pigmented and very feminine, the ultimate bubblegum pink.

- Thirdly is "The colour of minnie", this is a cool-toned rich red with fine shimmer. I love this red! Such a rich colour with awesome pigmentation! It supposedly applies like butter - really easily and smoothly. The shade remind me of Wocka Wocka!

- Lastly is "Nothin' mousie 'bout it" this is a very unusual pink heart glitter in a clear base with blue and orange glass flecks. I'm not a big fan of confetti glitter, because form reviews the application is somewhat of a struggle. One review stated "I basically applied the first layer covering the nail with glass flecks and sometimes one heart glitter, then I had to 'fish out' additional heart glitters and place them on the nail." For me this just seems like just too much of a trouble/messing around for the pay off it provides.

Overall, I really cant wait to get my hands on this collection. Its incredible, however I must mention, the mini collection doesn't come with a "Nothin' mousie 'bout it" polish, instead it comes with a "RapiDry Top Coat" which I actually think is in fact a bonus.
