Quick Review: M&S Autograph Ultimate Wear Nail Colour in Purple.

Left taken under halogen lights at night after application | Right taken under natural day light after one week.

Design: This is a lovely creamy purple with slight raspberry tones in natural light.

Use: Two coats till opaque, I gave it a third for luck. Dries well, although a good top coat will help reduce scoring and prevent chipping.

Verdict: I really love this polish, I've worn it for a week now and despite my flaky nails coming apart beneath it its still holding up amazingly well,! As you can see from the above picture theres only minimal tip wear (did I mention I've been wearing this for a week? That's ridiculously good!). I've had some really lovely comments whilst wearing this and am reluctant to take it off. Definitely going into regular wear pile*!

Available exclusively at Marks & Spencers from what I can tell so why not treat yourself next time you're getting your £10 dinner for two!

*Probably best to note that my regular wear pile is getting so big its hard to wear anything too regularly lol

*This Sample was sent for review but all thoughts are my own*

Matcha Madness: The Body Shop Matcha Tea Face Mask Review

My name is Bex and I am a mask addict! I love masks. Cream, clay, mud, peeling, sheet, cellulose, nourishing... you name it and I love it! I recently spent an evening with the amazing staff from The Body Shop Belfast learning about all their key products and celebrating their cruelty free status and at the end of the night I was very kindly gifted their Japanese Matcha Tea pollution clearing mask - I was delighted! We all know that the world has gone Matcha crazy but beyond an occasional frappe from a well known coffee house my main experiences have been with Matcha flavour cakes from my local asian supermarket. They are seriously amazing and the lightest sponge I've ever eaten but it doesn't exactly scream "good for you". Thankfully, apart from being seriously tasty Matcha is ridiculously good for you. Traditionally brewed as a simple green tea it is packed full of antioxidants - 10 times the amount in normal green teas as you are consuming the precious groun...

Faeriwood Eats: Wolf & Devour, gluten free dining done right

I get asked a lot about how people can go about promoting their businesses and whilst it is a huge question one of the things I will always recommend is social media and Instagram. I love it. I've discovered so many good restaurants while browsing hashtags and local accounts. Recently I was scrolling through #Glutenfreebelfast and spotted five glorious words. Gluten. Free. Mac'n'Cheese. Balls. Cue heavy breathing. It wasn't until we were sitting down in the small but gorgeously laid out premises - think modern cantina with industrial and urban garden accents - that I realised I've actually seen the Wolf & Devour food truck around festivals and fairs but I had always assumed, being full of all things bready, that they were just a no go for little old Coeliac me. Knowing that they had at least this one gf item on the menu gave me the confidence to go and visit their Ballyhackamore restaurant as soon as I physically coul...

Ophrys Skincare

If you have been following my blogs and social media you will have seen that I am currently partnering with Therapie Clinics and trying out their range of specialist facials to try and improve my skin. Alongside the facials (my second of which is coming up in April!) I have really tried to up my game with my skin care. Rather than just slapping everything that says hydration on I am really trying to target specific areas and problems. This has not been without it's troubles as my sensitive skin tries to adjust to this higher level of care. As a result of this - and a few other internal factors - I have been experiencing a few more breakouts than normal but I have been coping with them better. It's all about the give and take. And when it comes to the 'give' I was very lucky to be approached by Ophrys Skincare to talk about their new range of low molecular hyaluronic skincare with their patented Mini-Hax particle. "Low Ma-what?" I hear you say? Well... Low ...
