Like It

Something that's been all over alot of blogs recently (and with good reason) has been Models Own hauls. If you don't know about the sale they've just had, then you've really missed out on a good one. All you had to do was 'like' their Facebook page and then you got 50% off your order. That makes all of their nail polishes (my main buy from them) a mere £2.50, which for the quality and colour range of their products, is a seriously good deal.

I had to refrain from going crazy and buying everything I liked, and just allow myself to buy the shades I really wanted. I ended up getting four more colours to add to my collection, and a lipstick (something I've never tried from their range before).

L-R: Scarlet Sparkle, Lili's Pink, Beth's Blue, Turkish Delight

I'd not tried one of the sparkle varnishes before, but I loved this red colour. It's like Dorothy shoes for your nails. I was worried it wouldn't come out as sparkly as it looks in the photos, but I've put it on over some OPI red nail varnish on my toes, and it looks gorgeous. I'll put a photo up soon when it's on my fingernails, because you really don't need to see my toes up close.

The colours on the photo are pretty much exact, so Lili's pink is slightly more vibrant than a baby pink, but super glittery. Beth's Blue is a really lilac pastel blue, more lilac than it looks on the website. I'm wearing it at the moment, and it's my new favourite shade:

My old camera was rubbish at taking close up photos. My new camera is rubbish at taking close up photos. Is it my lack of skills or are cameras awful at focusing on close up objects?

I usually find I have to apply two coats of Models Own, as they can be a bit patchy/streaky on a first coat, but this one was fine with just one.

I've not tried Turkish Delight yet. It's more my usual kind of shade, so I'm trying out the pastels for a while.

The lipstick is Sheer Sparkle and it's exactly that. The colour is really subtle, and ever so slightly bronze. It has a lot of sparkle to it, and you can feel the glittery bits which is a downside, but it looks really nice. The packaging is clear, not that dissimilar from Shu Uemura. 

All in all, really happy with everything I got as usual and for only £12.50 it's even better.
Did you get anything?
