Blues and metallics always look great on tanned skin so the brilliant new No7 Speed Dry Nail Colour, in Violetta is definitely a good addition to my nail varnish collection and it’s one of seven new shades to the speed dry range.
I also love the metallic colour Sunshine from the Stay Perfect range. The shade Sunshine is part of the Limited Edition Summer Collection available until 13th July and you can see them both at Boots or online and they cost £7.35 (handy if you have one of those £5 vouchers lurking about).
My favourite item from this collection has to be the Sun Drenched Sculpting Bronzer
It is a bit expensive for drugstore bronzer as it’s £13.50 but it is a warm, very definitely not orange bronzer with no shimmer, glitter or sheen at all. It has a creamy powder texture so buffs really easily into the skin and each colour can be used individually or swirled together which is what I tend to do. It is really easy to contour with the darker color as well as it is a really flattering shade and doesn’t look like a dirty mark on your face which can sometimes happen. I really like that gives a very natural sunkissed look rather than an obvious tango tan. If you use a flat topped kabuki to buff this in such as the one by ELF Studio it really does make your skin look glowing, and as it’s matte you can add sheen with your highlighter where you want to put it, rather than looking shiny everywhere.
I really like the tortoishell effect compact as it has a substantial mirror and is sturdy enough to withstand some handbag bashing!
For me the bronzer and the nail varnishes are the standouts from this range, although there is an eyeshadow palette and some lipgloss pots they didn’t really appeal to me so much. But here is a picture of them so you can make your own mind up.
What do you think about the collection? xxx
And yes I have changed the layout of the blog a bit, I hope that it is easier to navigate and read. It is still a work in progress to make the bar to your right look nice and neat, and for all of you girls whose button I had advertising your blog they will be back up soon, I am just trying to make them all the same size. If you have a button and want me to put it up for your blog (and I am a follower of your blog) then let me know and I will try and fit it in. Love Sarah xx
