Body Shop Colour Crush : this may take some time!

So this weekend I took the opportunity to visit Meadowhall in Sheffield with my boyfriend! Albeit having probably the worst cold I have ever experienced, we did have a great time splurging on lots of nice things (shopping haul to come in a later post this week)!!

Body Shop is fantastic in Meadowhall; the staff are friendly and there are lots of products you can 'try before you buy' - much like their other stores! As well as purchasing a body butter and body scrub I felt tempted by the nail polishes in one of their baskets by the counter.

I chose 'Oh, Petal' a delicate pastel shade of pink. At £5 I thought this would be a bargain, however I'm sad to say a little disappointing. After opening it I realised the polish was quite watery in consistency and therefore would probably take a few layers before an even coat was achieved.

After three layers and nearly 45 minutes of drying time in between coats I was disappointed. This is definitely not a varnish to be applied if you're in a rush! Four layers later and I could say I was reasonably happy with my nails, however you could still see lines in the paint which with other varnishes you just don't see!

So although I love and adore this shop and many of their other products (sat here currently smelling of raspberries thanks to their beautiful body butter) I will not be rushing to purchase anymore nail varnishes as they just did not live up to expectation.

A shame, but still a cute colour <3

Thank you for reading girls!

Feeling brand new!

As Summer drifts away (and what a fabulous one we had this year) and Autumn quickly approaches I felt like it was time for a new look, a 'new me'. Do you ever get like that? I have not been a redhead for maybe two years now and it was time for me to employ the services of my best friend Naomi in return for helping her dye her hair the sexiest shade of deep purple, ever!

With the help of Naomi and a £3.49 box of Schwarzkopf Live : 47 Plum Perfection...

I have gone from Ye Olde Brunette moi...

To HELLO Autumn sexy redhead....

The picture is a bit naff - I may have to update it as it appears much more redder than that in the sunlight! 

I love these colours and application is so easy and only takes 30 minutes to develop! Even on Naomi's hair, which is much much thicker than mine we had more than enough dye in one box! The best bit for me is always the sweet smelling conditioner that just makes your hair feel and smell gorgeous. Even after washing my hair again this morning, my hair continues to smell 'new'. 



So there we have it, one very happy redhead. It will soon be time to hit the stores and stock up on some Autumn goodies to wear and compliment my new look ;)

Thanks for reading :) xxx
