Just a post on everything and nothing today. I've not been feeling too well so I've just been in the house getting my boyfriend to make me tea and go to the shops to get me chocolate, haha! As I've been in, I've been able to do more beauty stuff that I wouldn't have otherwise done, you know, painting my nails, taking care of my skin etc. I'm so bad as I never usually do more with my skin other than slap a bit of moisturiser on in the mornings and evenings and take my make up off before bed. I have to be in a certain mood to paint my nails too, otherwise I don't.
Elf Mineral Infused Face Primer - £6
Do any of you get really bad skin during the winter? My skin goes slightly flakey in areas and I use this facial primer and it's one of the best I've ever used. People have compared it to a smashbox primer but it's a lot cheaper. It makes my skin smoother and a lot easier to apply foundation to. I'd definitely recommend it if you've not used it. You can find the product on the ELF website here. It's also meant to help with excess oil and enlarged pores.
I also decided to try the Gold Rush Model's Own nail polish which you can see here. It doesn't look as bad on as what I thought it would, and it's definitely appropriate for the festive season. I'll probably end up wearing Juicy Jules on Christmas day though as I'm more of a silver gal than a gold gal.
I also received the most lovely card from the lovely Chloe from Chloe Likes To Talk yesterday. As some of you know she was the winner of my recent giveaway. The card was just to say thank you for the gifts, which was a welcome surprise. So thank you Chloe for the card, it's sitting next to me right now (and how did you know I was so fond of cupcakes?)
What do you think of the Gold Rush nail polish? Would you wear it during the festive season?

I love the nail polish colour. And I'm now contemplating the Elf primer.. I'm getting dry skin as well at the mo it's such a pain, I keep moisturing and re-moisturising.. xxx
ReplyDeleteThat nail polish is perfect for the holidays! I love ELF products. I can spend so much money in their online shop.

That gold nail polish looks amazing, I've wanted to build up my metallic nail polish collection (so far consisting of 1!) for ages, this has just decided what my next colour will be!
ReplyDeletehttp://styleisalwaysfashionable.blogspot.com/
I would definitly wear the nail polish :) I have heard really good things about the E.L.F primer but the one downside is (aparently) the pump stops working when you get close to the bottom, so be ready to take the lid off and dig it out haha!!

Honestly I was so inspired by your previous post I went to the store and bought one myself and have been wearing it ever since!!! I think it looks great and perfect for the holidays!
ReplyDelete@ Em I've heard that too, luckily that's not happened for me yet :) but I'm dreading if it'll happen! xo
ReplyDeleteOooh, love the gold polish, and would definitely wear it during the festive season.
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by :)

I'd always sort of dismissed the elf primer as too cheap to be any good and stuck to my trusty MAC but I'll definitely need to give it a go as I love finding bargains!
ReplyDeletexxx
@ BunBun People have compared it to MAC (and Smashbox) and said it's just as good but the low price gives it the edge. It's certainly worth a try. xo
ReplyDeleteyour polish looks perfect! gold radiance at its finest.
ReplyDeleteSuper chic polish!
