I've spent the last fortnight basking in a sun-filled paradise that is the beautiful island of Lanzarote (that's why there's been a lack of posts, I didn't die or anything like some of you thought. So over dramatic. *rolls eyes and clicks fingers in a z formation*). We stayed in the most stunning private villa - complete with our own pool and hot tub! Despite having a luxurious villa, we got stuck with the most unhygienic of cars. I'm 99% sure that the stain I was forced to sit on on the way to our villa was in fact where someone had wet themselves. I later went on to put my hand on the door handle to find chewed-up chewing gum behind it. Not only that but there was mysterious white crusty stains EVERYWHERE. I really don't wanna guess what it was, but I just had to grin (grimace) and bear it - germs and all.



On the plane to Arrecife from Leeds Bradford, I decided to take advantage of Jet2's forever fabulous range of goodies on offer (that included a 20% discount might I add!!) and managed to bag a bareMinerals Starter Kit (£31.60 - without discount £39.50 - it's £49 RRP) and a Models Own set (£16 - without discount £20 - unavailable on the high street). I was so excited to try bareMinerals as I actually don't have any of their products, I know so many people have raved about their powders but I was unsure. As a sufferer of terrible skin, I didn't believe that just a powder could cover my acne scarring. Because of the amazing price, I decided to give it a try! As for the Models Own set, I bought a similar one on a Jet2 flight a couple years back and adored the polishes, especially the glitter ones. I know many of you will be sighing at me, because if you're a regular reader you'll know that I have well over 100 polishes...Oopsies?! Oh well, I've been wanting one of their Beetlejuice polishes for aaaages as (now this may come as a shock) I don't own any. The set also includes two scented polishes (new to my collection too) and two firework polishes. I'm chuffed I had the chance to expand my Models Own collection 'cause I've always been put off the regular price. I mean, it's not overly expensive (£5), but when I compare it to the fact that I could either buy one Models Own polish or (almost) two Barry M paints, I'm gonna go for the paints, yano?






How cute is the packaging?!


I'm super-excited to try my new purchases, although I am a little apprehensive about the bareMinerals powders, as they claim to do a lot. I may even do a review on them sometime in the near future...

What are your top duty-free holiday picks?

Because of the upcoming New Year I thought that me (and my nails) should go in with a bang. That's why I chose Models Own's Disco Mix. It's enriched with two shades of glitter - one a royal blue and the other a rich purple. Colour-wise this has to be one of my favourite polishes all time, mainly 'cause i'm a total sucker for glitter if you didn't know already. The only downside is that it's gonna take me that extra few minutes to take it off, but it's definitely worth it hehe.



I hope you all have a fabulous New Years and I'm sorry for no post last friday - I've been super busy with a new project i'm very excited to tell you all about soon.

What is your nail colour this week?

This week I've opted for this dark purpley-grey shade (funnily enough called Purple Grey) by Models Own as after I had Illamasqua's Collide on last time I thought it would be nice to mix it up and go for a contrasting colour.
