Nail colour of the week

It was grey and dull on Monday and I considered it to be time to go dark so I chose Essie's Sole Mate. I love this deep plum/purple. It's very dramatic and a bit of a classic. It is now Friday and not a single chip to be seen.

Max Factor Eye Brightening Mascara

Time to try a new mascara my friends. This one intrigued me, Max Factor Eye Brightening mascara. Apparently it contains light reflecting particles to add a subtle effect. It just looks black to me. Maybe the one for blue or green eyes is less subtle. However, as with all Max Factor mascaras, it has a great brush and does a good job. For £7.99, it's pretty good. It's not a big chunky mascara so it's good for the day. I've just layered up my eyes with it ready for a day of hard shopping.

Talking of shopping, I cleared out a bathroom cupboard yesterday and found five bottles of perfume I don't wear so I am ebaying them. You know, just in case you need some perfume in your life...

My Bliss pedi was as blissful as could be. I choose Essie's Camera which is a neon coral and it's fabulous. It would be better if I had tanned feet and I was currently in the Caribbean but one can't have everything.

Bliss fabulous foaming face wash

I bought a huge bottle of this in the Bliss sale when I had my first pedicure of joy. I've been using it daily since and it's very good. It gently exfoliates but never feels scratchy or harsh. It rinses off easily and all in all I am impressed. Mine cost £15 which is such a bargain. On the site it is £25.60 which is still not bad value as it is a huge bottle.

Today is my third Bliss pedi. I am having Head Over Peels which is a silly name but I hope will be as good as the other two. I am very slightly hungover after cocktails last night so I hope this fixes me.

I was in the mood for a proper, old school red so this week I have Who's She Red. It's darker than the picture suggests and lovely. Am getting in the mindset of autumnal hues now even though this week is sunny and warm. I am looking forward to having deep colours again.
