Yay or Nay Limited Collection Nail Polish Set xx

Hiya everyone! So since that I do a lot of product reviews, I decided to create a review-ing system to make it a little more interesting! I am going to call it a YAY/NAY and that will decide my original decision on the product. I will also give it a rating out of five stars and use these categories:

*Packaging

*Pigmentation

*Lasting power

*Finish

I hope you enjoy this, and here is my first Yay or Nay!

                             

In the Black Friday sale this week, I received a nail polish set from Marks And Spencer (sub brand 'Limited Edition'). I believe it was £10 but I bought it for £5. It comes with 8 lovely shades, 7 sparkly and one matte. 

Firstly, the packaging is really pretty and I like the gold and pink stripes. It would have been better if you could take the polishes out without having to remove the whole packaging. I would rate the packaging **** 4 Stars.

I chose to apply the shade 'Pink Sorbet', which looked like a rose-gold colour. With a single coat, the colour wasn't the most opaque. However, when I applied the second coat it covered better and looked more opaque. The final colour was very sparkly and a gorgeous metallic pink colour. Overall I give the pigmentation *** 3 and a half Stars and the finish ***** 5 stars. 

The lasting power of the polishes was good but not amazing. I got about 3 days before it started to chip, but then I repainted the chip and the polish didn't chip. Overall, I give the lasting power **** 4 Stars.

Overall, I think this set is a beautiful Christmassy collection and would make a great gift. The polishes aren't the most excellent pigmentation of all time but I still really like them and think you should pick one up. So overall, this set is a YAY!!

Thanks for reading, and I hope that you enjoyed this review. Please give me any suggestions on what you would like to see next, but for now that's it for this week.

See you soon, Gracie xxx

Collective Haul!

Hiya everyone! I went shopping the other day, and since I had never done a haul on this blog before I decided to do one for y'all! (Cowboy, seriously? wtf haha) Just to say this isn't all from just one trip, I have been shopping quite a lot in the holidays. I hope you enjoy, lets get right on into the video! *Side note, please excuse the quality of the photos included, my phones quality is rubbish atm and its really old lol*

An Overview <3

The first thing I bought was this bag from Primark. It was a total of £10, which is a great price for a handbag since most shops are getting pretty expensive. I am planning to use this for school as it will fit in a lot of notebooks inside. Also, there is a snakeskin textured patch on the front so it will not scratch as easy.

Next from Primark is the new duvet set from the 'Velvetghost' (Gabby) range. I love all of the items from the range, but I got this to use with another set because it matched my theme. This is so adorable and I cant wait to put it on my bed! Also I bought a square, pink cushion for my sofa (this is not included in the same range as the duvet.)

Moving on to Boots, I picked up two of the Montagne Jenessee face masks: Strawberry Soufflé and Blemish Mud. I love these face masks because they are so fun and they have so many different flavours, I never really buy the same one twice! I also picked up the Maybelline 'Dream Fresh BB Cream' and the Barry M Kohl Liner in White. Both of these products I had tried (first time) once and I like them so far! The BB cream was really glowy on my dry skin and the liner was really pigmented and really opened up my eyes.    Love! <3  

Next I popped to Superdry and bought this suuuuuuppper soft hoodie. I don't usually wear hoodies but I thought I would buy it for those cold winters and days in. It's great to lounge in, and it's great quality so I know that it will last a long time.

Lastly, I picked up some bright neon pencils for school and a pocket-sized diary for 2016.

I hope you enjoyed reading about what I bought (Hauls are my fave posts to read, comment if you can relate!) Thank you for reading this far down and I hope you enjoy the rest of your day!

See you soon,
