Mavala Nail Polish in Orion and Capella

For all you flake lovers out there, embrace yourself.

Many months ago, a friend put Agena on her wishlist and while searching high and low, an angel on ebay sold it to me.  I soon then found out that Agena was not alone. Meet her sisters, Orion and Capella.  Both flakies, both gorgeous and both underappreciated.

I bought enough Orion and Capella to give to every single Nail polish friend of mine. They are just little bottles of jewel :)

Mavala Concentrated Foot Bath

My friend gave me this concentrated foot bath and it has been a god sent over this past week.  The weather has been hot, and my feet even hotter after a long day of being on them.  I honestly found this to be my favourite product of the week.

 

Mine came in a set, but the individual product cost £7.95

 

You just pour a little bit into the water and soak your feet.  It helps with deodorizing, tonifying, and softening.  It also helps with achy feet due to it's mentholated qualities.  I would come home and soak them in a tub of cold (and I mean ice cold) water and it really helped with the swelling.  I honestly can not tell you how wonderful this has been for me this week, and I honestly would purchase this for myself.

Shopping Trip Photos

I had to meet up with someone today in town, so I made the best out of it by stopping by all my usual places; Boots, Superdrugs, TJ Hughes (everything is now 40% off, but not much left), TK Maxx (UK's TJ Maxx), and charity shopping.  I saw some really good deals, so I'm here to show you all.  I did do a little hauling (but of course!) but the sun is down now and so I'll have to post them up tomorrow when I can get some good shots xx

Anyways, let me show you guys some of the deals I saw that were really good, so if you like them, I'd check out your local stores.

First up,

At Debenhams,

A discounted (further discounted) 

MAVALA Nail polish set

That's not bad for 9 Mavala nail polishes

Also at Debenhams 

CIATE NAIL POLISH TRIO SET

There were a bunch of these black leather tri-folded makeup bags

and when I opened them, they came with 3 Ciate polishes.

Ciate retails for £9 each,

so for a set of 3 Ciate's for only £8.52 was a bargain.

Buy one get 2 free basically, plus a black makeup bag.

I really wanted to splurge and buy this set, because I absolutely LOVE Twilight (the middle polish), but I restrained myself.  It is the same likeness as Butter London's Wallis, Dior's Czarina Gold, and D&G Stromboli.  It is a beautiful black polish with gold flakie/glitters.

Swwoonnnn....but I should restraint since there were roughly 20 in the clearance section. So I'm testing my luck to see if they will decrease in price a little more :)

 Then at TK Maxx,

There was a 

Revlon polish set

for £7.99, it had inside: Lunar, Star, Belle, and one last purple creme polish that I couldn't make out.

Next stop...Superdrugs!

I never noticed this brand, but I have to show you all

2 True Nail Polish

2true is pretty inexpensive at £1.99 each or 3 for £5.

They had your typical range of colours like most chemist brands, BUT...

and I mean BUT...

#40 and #16 were DIVINE!

40 is a gritty steel colour with a mixture of microglitter in a rainbow shade.

It's hard to tell in the photo, but it was quite interesting 

and

#16 was just this beautiful jewel-tone purple/blue slightly duochrome shimmer polish.

I was on a time crunch, but I think I'm definitely going back for them.

Also at Superdrugs was the new Gosh nail polish collection.

I wasn't really keen on them, because they were all straight creme, but the colours are very nice for this fall.

Then my tired behind went to Boots, AND...

it's FINALLY here!!!!

 Garnier BB Cream.

RRP £9.99 

I'm surprised there wasn't a promo for that, I'll wait and see if they will do a special on this soon, since it is a big craze and it is the UK's first BB Cream to hit the market.

So that is my beauty picks for today.  I hope you guys like it, and I highly recommend all the products that I photographed.  

Tomorrow, I'll definitely take photos of my haul 

until then....Happy shopping xx
