NUBAR Finest Silks collection

New to Nubar for Spring/Summer 2011 is their Finest Silks collection. There are eight gorgeous shades to choose from, all of which have been inspired by the silk dresses as seen on the catwalks of Chanel and Richard Nicoll.

I was lucky enough to get my hands on two of the shades - Marabout (a light, charcoal) and Pekin (a very deep, Christmasy red). Once applied, both colours are stunning and after two coats look perfectly opaque.

Extremely feminine, the Finest Silks collection is available to buy as off early next year, all for £8 each from www.beautyshed.co.uk

Merry Christmas...

November favourites...

Every month I want to share with you my five favourite products of the month. I know the end of November has passed, but better late than never...

Firstly, I bought this Barry M nail varnish in Pink Flamingo at the beginning of the month. I know it’s a bit summery for this time of year, but I absolutely love it and have worn it on my toes ever since.


I have blogged about the Clarins Gentle Refiner Exfoliating Cream this month already, but I can’t get enough of it. My skin has a tendency to go dry and flaky in the winter, so this is perfect for removing dead skin but leaving a soft finish too.


Next is Avon Glimmerstick Eye Liner – it’s got great staying power and the colour isn’t too harsh either. The only negative I have, is that you can’t get a precise line with it because the tip is quite thick. Despite that, it’s great.


Next is another product from Avon, they’re Magix Face Perfector. It’s a great primer and leaves your skin feeling really smooth. I haven’t yet discovered that my make-up lasts longer, but then again I haven’t only tried it twice so far.


Lastly is my favourite of the bunch, Clinique Pore Minimiser. I have quite large pores on my nose and this handy little cream is perfect for disguising them. I can’t get enough of it (I apologise for it being so grubby) and lasts a lot longer than you’d think.


What have your favourite products been this month?

Accessorize nail varnish...

I previously mentioned the Accessorize cosmetic collection here, but never got round to posting any images. So here’s a look at two of their (many) nail polishes...


School Skirt (shade 13) – a grey shade that comes out quite dark, although two coats are possibly needed.


Truffle (shade 12) – a similar colour with a brown tinge. This one will also need a couple of coats to make the colour really stand out.
