Models Own

Ola Ladies,

As I'm sure all of you know, Models Own hit the 50,000 likes and did the 50% off offer in which I happily purchased a few cheeky bits.

I have never used a Models Own product before, so thought the sale was the perfect opportunity to try it out for a very reasonable price and give a fresh, non-biased review.

Here's what I purchased:

Left to right

♥ Nail Art Pen in Black

♥ 5 piece brush set

♥ Nail polish in Juicy Jules

I LOVE my bits and the Nail Varnish has made my day. Its just so sparkly and amazing.

Nail Polish:

With Flash

Without Flash

 I already had my fave pink polish on and put this over the top. It looked amazing and got asked a few times what polish I was wearing. Its very sparkly and in the light reminds me of diamonds glistening. It has the perfect Constancy and the perfect amount of glitter in the product. One brush stroke was enough to spread a large amount of the glitter evenly, without looking too much.

I will 100% be buying this again and again and again..... It's my current Love ♥

5 Piece Brush Set:

I haven't managed to use them all however, I did use the Eyeshadow blending brush and the Powder Brush and I was really impressed with the quality. I gave them all a very good grope and was happy that none of the strands came out. Yipee. The Powder Brush was good although to be honest the head is too small to be used for face powder so it didn't do any good on that front. I did use it for my highlighter powder instead and the brush distributed it evenly. The Eyeshadow Blending brush was brilliant! Its not too stiff but not to soft so it picks up a perfect amount of eyeshadow and really does blend like a dream. I used it first with a loose pigment shadow and then a solid leaf gold shadow, and I have to say the effect perfect. Nothing is too much trouble for this brush and its replaced all my other eyeshadow brushes. Plus for £10 for 5 brushes it really is good value for money.

Nail Art Pen in Black

After watching some amazing Youtube Videos on Nail Art I decided to try and be more creative. .When I saw this pen on the website I knew it would be perfect for me. I have used it but my 'designs' were dreadful and I didn't want to embarrass myself! Think I need a bit more practise ha-ha. It has a thin brush and a pen nib so its a 2 in one and I managed to create a butterfly , A large heart, Zig zags and it was really easy.  It is a bit messy but I think with a little practise I'll be on to a good thing. I promise to practise and do A post on some decent results.

Overall, I love my bits from Models Own.

What did you guys get and is there any Models Own stuff you would recommend?

Glossybox - August 2011 ♥

Hey Dolls,

Yesterday I received my 2nd Glossybox :) The excitement has been driving me mad, but I can breathe a sigh of relief as it's now safe in my hands.
Here's what we was sent this month:

From Left to Right:

♥ Rebel Nails Nail Wraps - Mine are blue with a mermaid scale design

♥ Daniel Sandler Jumbo Jet Mascara - Any excuse to own a new mascara is a good one - Full size

♥ KMS heat protection and shine cream - I have some KMS products already and I really like this brand so I am really excited to try this product out. You can use it on towel dried hair before drying or dry hair for extra shine and colour protection. - Full size.

♥ Ahava Mineral Body Lotion - This apparently is part of the brands new 'My Skin Reborn' range and it does smell really good. Had a cheeky use on my hands yesterday and they did stay really soft for the whole day - 40ml

♥ Murad Time Release Acne Cleanser - I've seen this brand mentioned in celeb interviews and 'Things I Love' columns so I was really excited when I first saw it. The only issue I have is A: I don't have acne, and B: its anti - ageing. I'm 23 so not really looking to use Anti- ageing products just yet. Maybe I can give it away :) - 30ml

Overall, I don't think the box was as good as Julys (here) but for £10 I got at least £30 worth of new products. I don't think I will use the nail wraps but that's only because I don't like the pattern or colour. They sent out different colours and patterns so some subscribers got Pink and different designs. Also, I doubt I will use the Murad cleanser as I don't have the right skin to get much out of it. Apart from those two products I'm chuffed with the KMS hair cream and I love the mascara (Very handy considering mine has is nearly been used up) also I love body creams so have no problem with receiving this.

Did anyone else get the same? What do you think about this months?
