neutral nails♡

Around Autumn and Winter, the brights and the pastel colours are replaced with things slightly more darker and deeper. I am not the biggest fan of the deep midnight blues and red colours. I prefer something more softer, hence why I decided to pick up these two neutral nail polish colours. They are perfect for all seasons but I feel like these are great choices for a more subtle look for the colder months. I picked up these 2 Barry M Gelly Hi Shine nail paints. The formula is a gel shiny formula that is really long-lasting.                             

The colours I decided to get were 'Almond' which is this muted grey with an undertone of lilac in it which looks stunning on the nails. It's a really pretty understated colour and looks really chic.

I also bought the colour 'Coconut' which is a really pretty off-white cream colour. Sometimes bright white nail polish looks really harsh but this looks a lot more subtle on. I had to do 2 coats of this to get the true colour. 

What are your favourite neutral nail polishes?

lush mask of magnaminty review♡

Today I am going to be talking about the Lush Mask of Magnaminty which I bought when I did my bloggers meet up. I have since used this many times so I thought I could review it for you. 

 Previously, I tended to stick with more lotion based face masks instead of the thicker ones like this one so I didn't really plan to pick this up when walking into Lush. When I went to Lush the lady recommended this to me for being ideal for spot prone skin so I was sold. She also mentioned how this mask lasts for a few months whereas the fresh face masks such as 'Cupcake' last for only a month and are more expensive! You get 125g worth of product for £5.50 which is such a bargain for the amount of times you will use this! 

I get slightly oily skin with small breakouts every so often. This mask has gradually reduced my spots whenever I have used this, even the angry ones! It has peppermint in it which is for cooling and refreshing purposes. The mask also contains ground Aduki beans and Evening Primrose seeds which gently exfoliate your skin when you remove it. When you apply it on your skin, the effect is really cooling but isn't really harsh on your skin. The peppermint really does awaken and refresh your skin and makes you feel alive! I leave this on for about 10-15 minutes in the bath or just chilling and it really does help my spots. This is not only a face mask but also works as a body mask. I have put this on my back and it has calmed a few angry spots. 

Overall, this is so worth the money and I highly recommend!
