Pamper Sesh- Manicure!
My nails aren't in the best of conditions at all at the minute and so a manicure is definitely in order. Although i always tell myself not to, i do bite my nails and the only way for me not to bite them is to have them painted. So, i thought i'd share my routine for when i want to pamper myself with a manicure! Perfect for a Sunday night!
- Nail Scissors
Step 6)
Step 8)
Step 9)
What you need:
- Nail Scissors
- Hand Cream- Amber Heaven Nourishing Hand Cream
- Nail File
- Cuticle Pusher
- Base Coat- Boots Essentials Base Coat
- Nail Varnish- Rimmel Pro 293 Pop Rose
- Top Coat- Nails Inc Top Coat
- Nail Varnish Remover
- Cotton Wool Pads
- Nail Cube
Step 1)
First of all you want to wash your hands and use a nail scrub to get your hands and nails clean, giving a good base for the start of your manicure.
Step 2)
Use a hand cream of your choice to moisturise your hands, leaving them feeling soft and refreshed.
Step 3)
Use scissors to cut nails wherever needed and also to remove any dirt from underneath the nail.
Step 4)
File and shape the nail to the shape you want.
Step 5)
Push your cuticles back using the cuticle pusher.
Step 6)
Use the nail varnish remover to remove any dirt from the nail, any remaining polish and leave the nail with a clean base
Step seven (my no. seven button doesn't work)
Use step 3, 4 and 5 on the nail cube to remove ridges, smooth the nail and shine the nail.
Step 8)
Apply a base coat to prevent any staining from the nail varnish.
Step 9)
Apply two coats of your preferred nail varnish making sure each is dry before applying the next layer.
Step 10)
Apply a top coat to give a glossy finish and help the nail varnish stay as long as possible.

BuyaPowa
I thought i'd create this blog post for anyone who hadn't heard of BuyaPowa, as every beauty lover should know of this brilliant website! It's basically a co-buying website and for anyone who doesn't know what that is, its where as more people join a co-buy the price of the product can drop.
There are normally around 4 live co-buys at one time with a certain amount of time they will last although this will vary depending on how quickly an item sells out and there are only ever a limited number of each product. Once you join a co-buy you are guaranteed the product at that price however this may go down if more people join. Once you've joined its also possible to invite more people into buying the item to help drive the price down. As well as the live co-buys it also shows you what items are coming soon, where you can request for the website to alert you when this item is live meaning you'll be less likely to miss out. I have saved so much money buying items on here and although sometimes it can be a little frustrating waiting for a item you what to be 'live' it is totally worth it!

Black is Back!
It seems to be a winter trend for me to constantly have my nails painted black and last night i decided to bring out the old Barry M in Black for the first time in what feels like an eternity. I think it looks so sleek on your nails with a glossy topcoat and in my opinion is perfect for winter!

November Glossybox
November stocking filler Glossybox is the name for this months beauty box. It is designed to serve as an inspirational gift guide with some of the most celebrated brands that are already known alongside some very exciting newcomers.
My box includes:
My box includes:
- Ayuuri Indian Rose Face Cream
Although this product isn't an expensive one i was very excited to see such a big product in a Glossybox. I seemed to have racked up such a collection of moisturisers at the minute i don't think i'm ever going to run out, especially seeing how big this is!
- Burberry Body Eau de Parfum
Really looking forward to trying this out as i'm slowly starting to get into Burberry products more and more, they seem like such a luxury to have.
- Alison Claire Natural Beauty Body Butter
This is one of the products mentioned as being an exciting newcomer and on first glances it does look a lovely product. Although the packaging is quite simple, for some reason i love it and i can't seem to put it down.
- Nails Inc Top Coat
I already love Nails Inc polish and so at first was a little disappointed that i only received the top coat and not an actual colour however as it has such good reviews and i am in desperate need of a new top coat, i'm pleased i got this product.
- Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant
This seems like such an exciting and interesting product that i cant wait to use. After receiving more Dermalogica products in the last Glossybox i have really started to get in to this brand, so i'm sure this is going to be another great product.
Another Little Haul
Although i love to have all the latest beauty/fashion items, it has to be said that i am a stingy person however recently i haven't been able to stop myself from buying little treats!
