Primark French nails.

The packaging.

The set.

So for a while i've been wanting some false nails. I didn't particularly want to go somewhere and get them done and i definitely didn't want them to cost a bomb, i just wanted them to be cheap and cheerful as i was only testing. So i've explored the Primark false nails section before for about 2 minutes when i needed some for a photoshoot, so i thought i'd give it a proper look this time and see what they really had to offer. Although the french nails i chose weren't the most adventurous and were also the ones i picked up for the photoshoot, their a start. I did like these nails with the white tip personally i preferred them to any of the other designs, my only wish is that they had either been rounded or a little shorter because i found them quite long. The fit for matching my own nails was ok, i think i needed a smaller size for my pinky fingers, but i do have really small fingers and abnormally small nails. I've had them on for 2 days all together now and a few have came off but that's easy enough to fix with the nail glue. I would advice to maybe carry the nail glue with you in your bag or something. One little issue i have now is that my own nails hurt, maybe that's because i'm not used to wearing them. Overall i'd definitely recommend them their so cheap for only £1.00 plus you get 24 nails, so that should keep you going and you can't really go wrong. Do you like false nails?

That Primark scarf...

The scarf in action.



The fray.



The scarf.

Print on the scarf.

So December last year i noticed this scarf, i didn't get it for Christmas but i did pick it up a little while after for a measly £5. I did take back the one i originally picked up because in the fabric there was a quite bad fray that left a rather large hole. I took it back and luckily there was still a few left, so i managed to replace it with a new one. Which has still frayed a bit, but it'll have to do because i don't think it's stocked anymore. I love the colours (i know black and white how out there), i love the pattern and it's the perfect combination with my bold green coat-it just breaks up all that green. I wouldn't recommend wearing this scarf with a patterned coat unless it was checks and because it's black and white it'll go with any colour. It really is the perfect scarf and my new wardrobe staple. Do you have any Primark favourites? Claire x Twitter@claire_spiers Instagram@_clairespiers

OOTD-checked trousers.



Checked trousers, black jumper, black strapy top, black chelses boots, Casio watch, Bourjois rouge hi-tec (87 praline digitale) and simple gold over the knuckle ring. 



Look down on outfit.

Jumper.

Trousers.

As a blogger it's natural to do OOTD's but unbelievably i've never done one before, so here's my first one featuring black and white checked trousers from a charity shop (i've had these for ages but just never worn them before). I teamed my trousers with a black, pink, purple and green knit jumper with a black strapy top underneath. I turned the end of my trousers up so i could still wear my beloved chelsea boots because it's still so cold (it snowed today!!!). On my lips i wore Bourjois Rouge Hi-tech in 87 Praline digitale. For perfume i wore The only way is Essex perfume Dazzle which i haven't worn for ages. Jewellery i just wore my Casio and one gold over the knuckle ring from a Primark ring set. Hopefully i'll do more posts like this in the future. Claire x Twitter@claire_spiers Instagram@_clairespiers

Review Facial Cream Mask CHOCOLATE.

The mask.

Me wearing the mask.

The mess left behind by the mask.

So since my last experience with face masks i promised i'd test some more and i have. Well one, there's more reviews and testing yet to come. I tested the Facial Cream Mask in CHOCOLATE and one thing i must say is it makes a hell of a mess my white sheets turned brown, and in all honesty i don't think it was worth it. I found the mask to be very oily and it never really turned to a mask formula and i did completely wash and dry my face before hand, but for some reason it just never worked for me, unless it was meant to be like that (which i don't think it was). I was a bit concerned about using a chocolate flavoured one since chocolate is meant to be bad for the skin, but thankfully it caused no break outs and didn't effect my sensitive skin. The only thing it really did do is moisturise. Overall i don't think i'll be getting this again, and in the mean time i'm still on the hunt for my perfect face mask, i'll keep you updated.

Review Collection 2000 Colour Match foundation.

The foundation
Collection 2000 Colour Match Foundation.

Swatch. Shade: Dark 6.

For the past few weeks i've been testing and trying the Collection 2000 Colour Match foundation, and it's now time for the review. I absolutely love it, i would go as far as to say it's my favourite foundation yet. I have tried and tested Collection foundations before and i've always been satisfied but this one beats them all. I'm unaware if it's still stocked and if it is i know i will be purchasing it again. It gives great coverage and has long lasting power and has the perfect combination of deweyness. My only problem is the shade, i picked this up in summer when i was fairly tanned, Which means it is now the wrong shade and i can't find the right shade for me which means i can only wear it when i have fake tan on, which is annoying because if it wasn't for that i would wear it every day. I'm definitely going to go on the hunt to see if it's still stocked and if i can find it in the right shade, i'll keep you updated on that. I find the perfect combination for this foundation is again with another Collection product this time it being the Collection 2000 Shine Away compact powder in 3 DEEP. This gives my foundation extra staying power and keeps shine at bay. I'd definitely recommend both of these products and certainly together. What's your favourite foundation?

Primark Lipstain Vs Rimmel Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses.



Primark Lipstain Vs Rimmel London Lasting finish 1000 Kisses.

 So a few weeks ago i did a review of the Rimmel London Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses lip tint, i said in that post i would compare it with the Primark Lipstain and i have. I personally prefer the Primark lipstain. I feel the Primark stain has more product, better quality and also a darker, fuller colour. One thing i do love about the Rimmel lip tint is that it has a lipbalm, but i personally don't use it with the lip tint because i don't think it looks nice on me, but it does dry my lips out massively if i wear the tint without the balm. The Primark lipstain does dry my lips out a tad but not as much as the Rimmel one. One thing i love about both of them is the smell, in my opinion they both smell amazing. Personally i would recommend the Primark lipstain and another bonus is it is much cheaper than the Rimmel ones costing only £1.50. What's your favourite lipstain?
