HauteFuture Beauty Tutorial Urban Decay 15th Anniversary Palette Gold Eye


I've been playing with this palette for months now and finally I'm ready to share one of my favorite looks with you! This bronze and gold look is a fab night-time look for transitioning from autumn/winter to spring/summer as it isn't too dark, has a nice amount of shimmer and stays put even when it rains or becomes warmer in the evenings.

Here's what I used:

Channel Vitalumiere Foundation: £33 at http://www.boots.com/
Maybelline Superstay 24hr Concealer: £6.19 at http://www.boots.com/
Benefit Brow Zings in Medium: £22.50 at http://www.boots.com/
L'Oreal True Match Powder: £8.19 at http://www.boots.com/
Urban Decay Primer Potion: £14.50 at http://www.urbandecay.co.uk/
Urban Decay 15th Anniversary Palette (used Vanilla, Cash and Deeper): UNAVAILABLE as this was a limited release unfortunately. However, Urban Decay does many similar colours so just have a hunt through!
Sally Hansen Sexy Curls Precision Eyelash Curlers: $7.99 at www.walgreens.com
Benefit They're Real! Mascara: £18.50 at http://www.boots.com/
Benefit Coralista Blush: £23.50 at http://www.boots.com/
MAC Mega Metal Shadow in Peek-at-You: UNAVAILABLE it seems like this has been discontinued... However, there are tons of colours which actually work better... try Crystal Avalanche which is £11.50 at www.maccosmetics.co.uk
Benefit Posie Tint Lip Tint: £24.50 at http://www.boots.com/
Topshop Lips in Rumour Has It: UNAVAILABLE :( This was a Limited Edition shade but they have one similar for £8.00 called Nevada at http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/TopCategoriesDisplay?storeId=12556&catalogId=33057
EcoTools Brush Collection: £15.31 at http://www.boots.com/

Review - Sally Hansen Nail Growth Miracle in Bold Buff

Hi there!

So today I'm blogging about my new favourite nail product around and let me tell you, it will save your nails! Haha, big promise, but I have every belief that this product is (as it's name would suggest) a miracle for nails. Sally Hansen's Nailgrowth Miracle in Bold Buff is a creamy nude-coloured, french pink shade which is really pretty and shines like the light of the sun. Seriously, it's such a nice formula, I've had people comment on how healthy my nails look and questions like, 'Wow, how do you keep your nails in such good shape?'

What is the product claim? Well, that's the sad thing... Sally Hansen is a brand which is constantly developing and evolving, so despite only buying this from www.boots.com about three months ago, the colour seems to have been discontinued in order to make space for the next best thing! That 'thing' being a gold-bottled clear polish by the same name. I even can't get Bold Buff on the Sally Hansen website, which is a shame really as I'm pretty addicted to it. Anyways, I assume the claim for the gold bottle is the same of that for the pink colour, so here goes...


'Salon Strength Treatment 30% longer-looking nails in 5 days!
You'll get stronger, harder, yet flexible nails which grow longer.'


And it's as simple as that. I totally 100% agree with the product claim. I tend to directly apply two coats to a newly buffed nail then apply a new coat every day. There is no need for a base coat whatsoever, it's great! After just four days, I saw that the part of nail at the base (near my cuticle) had about a millimeter of unpainted nail and I couldn't understand it. That's until I realized that my nail was about a millimeter further past the tip of my finger than four days earlier. No joke, my nails had grown a millimeter or so in four days.

Now, don't get me wrong, I know that our nails grown every day. However, I've never noticed it like that before. Even when I'm wearing darker polishes, I've never seen the growth from nail bed before. This colour doesn't really chip, and I swear to God if it wasn't for the fact that once I have a thick enough coating of polish I have this apparent obligation to peel it off (so satisfying) then I'm sure I would have a nice thick covering still intact even now, a week and a half later!

As well as the fantastic treatment the formula provides, the colour is oh-so-feminine and makes my hands look like those of a classy Hollywood movie star.

Ten out of ten for Nailgrowth Miracle and I think every girl looking for healthy nails with a shiny polish should invest considering you are effectively getting a salon treatment at home! It costs £9.65 on www.boots.com and is totally worth the money.
