Good Old Fashioned Peanut Butter Cup Flavour Lip Balm

This is a random purchase I made at Cyber Candy in Birmingham last weekend. They had all the usual items American shops have but this I hadn't seen before. This is the page for all the lip balms they sell online at cybercandy.co.uk. The one I picked was Pillsbury Peanut Butter Cup flavour it smells edible not that I would suggest eating it by any means but it dose make you want to lick your lips. I like it because I can smell in while its on my lips and its more like a natural peanut butter flavour. Its a general lip balm as any other would be its just got an American twist to it which I personally love.

Magnetic Attraction - Make Up Academy

Sometimes I just can't help myself. These are the Make Up Academy Magnetic Nail Varnishes for £3.50 each. So when they were on offer in Superdrug (here) at 3 for 2 it was inevitable. Once I had time to sit down and and try them out I couldn't help but try all three new ones as well as my first one called Mayfair. You can read my original review of Mayfair (here). So the three colours are Park Lane this is a dark rosy red base with dark burgundy over it, Leicester Square is a blue grey base with dark grey and the Regent Street is a vibrant lilac with deep purple. The Mayfair in the photo is a deep blue with navy.

All the varnishes dry really fast and can be worn as one coat because they are fully opaque. They are a good consistency and the brushes are great too. My favourite is Regent Street (the purple one) as it very bright and and really pops . I also love the grey Leicester Square with the circle effect like when water ripples and because now I can mix and match the magnets and varnishes. These are good value you get 6.8ml in each and my original Mayfair is being used more than any of my other varnishes and still going strong. I also had found that even if you make a mistake like dip the magnet on your wet nail accidentally or it doesn't do the pattern strong enough I could easily stick a coat straight over it and try it again and it would still dry. 

O.P.I Goth Camo for My Nail Nightmare

My nails have started peeling at the tip of the nail in the last week they are so thin that they bend and I just don't know what to do. This is the first time this has happened so I don't know whats caused it. I've started using Sally Hansen Continuous Treatment Growth which is a clear varnish , it dries super quick which is good so I put two coats on with no trouble. I bought this at Xtras for £2.99.

While I was there I saw O.P.I Nail Laquer. There is no way I could part with £10.99 for one nail varnish so when I saw these at £5.99 in Xtras. The one I finally picked was Vampsterdam which is a deep purple shimmer lacquer and it is gorgeous. Completely not summery but the colour is definitely me. 

So I decided at the same time I would show you the Headline colors Varnish as well in Spotlight that I got in my Beauteco Box in June. It is normally £9 so I can compare the two varnishes. The O.P.I first coat looks like it dosn't cover but the second coat makes it completly opague and I can't even see where the peeling is so has disguised that very well. You really do have to give it time to dry out between coats but it's worth the wait. The Headline color is a silver with a slightly lilac tinge the coats dry quickly but I need a third coat to get the same block colour as the other was. The other thing I noticed was with each brush stroke on this one you can see the lines in the colour whereas the O.P.I is smooth across my nails. Vampsterdam is the winner and I think I will get the most use out of it. Here's hoping my nails improve over the next few weeks.
