Quick Festive Nails | imPress Manicure

               Hiya!

Just a little nail help here. I've always been big into nail polish, I own a lot but I've recently started to dabble with false nails a little more and I'm loving it. I tried these Impress press on manicure nails and was pleasantly surpirsed. 

'Rated R'

'Peach Shimmer'

When I thought of press on nails I saw the crappy little bits of plastic I had when I was younger that popped off after 10 minutes when I tried to lift something. These nails stay on super well even while I'm working wih jewellery and clasps all day and look like professional gel nails! I thought they were the perfect fix for your nails especially at this time of year if you have somewhere fancy to go or just want to feel a little but more polished and finished than usual. They take only a few minutes to apply and you don't have to wait around for nail polish to dry and pray it doesn't smudge while you're getting ready. They also come in some really cool designs and from tonnes of brands which I'll definitely be picking up! The 2 I show here are normally £5.99 and £7.99 for the glitter ones which is a little pricey to be wearing them all the time but a nice pamper every so often without the price tag of getting them done professionally. 

Have you tried any press on nails before?

Hope you guys enjoyed!

TAG | You're It

               Hiya!

Can you really believe it's December, Christmas is now just round the corner! *internal screaming*

I really wanted to post something today but not have it relate to Christmas so I found a tag that I saw  TooClothesForComfort write not too long ago and really liked, so here's mine! (Ps you should definitely check out her blog she does fantastic posts!)

1. What is the product you've wanted for the longest time? 

Hm probably Nars Laguna bronzer or a Nars duo eyeshadow. Nars is so difficult to get hold of near me and I hate ordering makeup online! 

2. If you had to wear only one foundation for the rest of your life, which would it be?

Definitely Revlon Colourstay for normal/dry skin. It sits perfect on my skin, gives amazing coverage and is such a great price!

3. Your house is burning down, which product do you grab first?

Of couse if my house was burning down I probably wouldn't be thinking about my makeup but in the back of my mind I would definitely be wanting to save my Urban Decay original Naked palette. If I ever lost it I would repurchase it instantly.

4. What is your lastest 'empty' product?

Simple Hydrating Light Moisturiser, it's been my staple moisturiser for a while now.

5. What quote(s) do you live by?

'A tiger doesn't lose sleep over the opinion of sheep' came to mind but there's probably another.

6. If you could only buy makeup from one brand, which brand would it be?

Oooh I feel like recently for drugstore makeup Maybelline has really been on top for me. Overall though no one brand comes to mind, still have a lot of makeup and brands to try out!

7. Which type of beauty products do you buy the most of? 

Without a doubt lip products! Brands are always coming out wih new lip crayons and stains etc that I want to see how they work! 

8. How long have you been wearing makeup for?

Hm probably around 5 years, since I was about 13 which looking back was pretty young.. 

9. If you could be any mythical creature, what would you be?

100% a unicorn, no doubt about it. They're just fabulous.

I'm not gonna tag anyone specific but feel free to do these questions! Let me know if you do decide to do this tag I'd love to read it!

Hope you guys enjoyed!

Youtube Style Crush | MarissaLace

               Hiya!

These Youtube style crush posts have been something I've been doing for a while since I'm quite the avid youtube watcher.

Here are so of my previous posts:

Today I wanted to introduce you guys to MarissaLace. On all my other Youtube Style Crush posts I've focused mainly on their style and why I love it whereas I just want to focus on Marissa as a person.

Marissa is 21 and from California. She was primarily a 'beauty guru' but recently made the change to more of a lifestyle type channel and now often posts fitness and health related vids. Not only is she trained in all things hair and beauty (after recently graduating beauty school) so she actually knows what she's talking about she's a sassy queen with lots of personality.

Marissa's videos are full of her down to earth, incredible personality which makes them hilarious to watch no matter what shes talking about. Although her vlogs show this on a whole new level (TheDailyMarissalace) Marissa's vlog channel is by far my favourite along with her advice videos.

She's an incredibly refreshing face to see especially within the beauty community on youtube, she comes across 100% true and genuinely and that she's just being herself. Marissa's also really into thinking positive and going after what you want. She posts a lot of inspiration quotes on instagram and twitter and it's always good to be surrounded by people like that even if it is on social media. (btw she followed me on twitter not too long ago and it made my week!)

Marissa just seems like a seriously sweet, lovely person who makes great videos which are pleasure to watch. If you haven't already, check out some of her vids and I promise you won't be disappointed, she deserves a hell of a lot more subscribers than she has!

 

Ps. Eat. Breath. Bronze.

Hope you guys enjoyed!

Celebrity Style Crush | Lauren Conrad

               Hiya!

‘In my opinion being a real fashion victim has nothing to do with breaking rules, it’s trying to dress like someone you’re not’ - LC

Like so many people Lauren Conrad is one of my main style icons. She captures the perfect mixture between the California style but with classic/feminine shapes and cuts.

I believe so many people adore LC’s style because she is so relatable. All her outfits are easy to re-create and are easy for the everyday person to wear. LC has also found the perfect basic items that flatter her body the best. From a LBD to fitted black skinny jeans (every girls essential). If you want inspiration or guidance on finding your perfect wardrobe basics I urge you to check out Lauren’s book 'Style'. It’s a fab read and a great reference book if you ever need some inspiration.

Although LC tends to keep everything quite tailored and classic she does simple things to incorporate trends and bolder things into her outfits. A way Lauren does this is by her nails, painting them bright colours or even doing some nail art. If you want to check out how she does this herself definitely check out her book 'Beauty'. It shows you how LC achieves her signature, go to looks!

 LC's style shows that she's overall just a typical, down to earth type or girl who loves to look put together but definitely likes to be comfy. Just like any other girl.
 

Is Lauren Conrad your style icon? And why do you love her so much?

I hope you guys enjoyed this post!

Love, Julie xx
