New from Barry M - Chameleon Colour Change Nail Paint
Barry M have once again come out with another nail art type polish!
This time there are three colour changing paints which work by appling a clear topcoat.
The lid indicates which colour the topcoat will make the nail paint.
For some reason i haven't heard about these anywhere and they are not yet available online but are £3.99 in Superdrug and Boots.
There are a Chameleon pink, Chameleon lilac and Chameleon blue. I picked up lilac and pink as i didn't think much of the burgundy colour that the blue had.
The Chameleon Lilac is very silvery and turns a blue toned jelly purple.
The Chameleon Pink is salmon pink and also becomes a jelly purple.
I have only had a chance to test out the pink and went for a simple french tip, although i think a dotting tool or fine brush would give better results for nail art.
I was so excited to try this out so i didn't bother with a base coat which was a bad idea as it stained really badly.
I really liked the formula as it dried quickly and is a lovely colour even without the Chameleon effect.

Collective Haul plus mini reviews
Make Up
I purchased this in black originally and loved it. Great for the upcoming warm weather or holidays as they don't budge.
I actually quite like the look of them and love that there are already a number of colours released including, Black, Purple, Blue, Silver Gold, Bronze and Gun Metal.
The two i picked up are a lovely deep metallic blue and a shimmery purple.
They are both creamy and pigmented.
Lovely creamy formula which is moisturising on the lips. Beehive is sheer and the lid is very loose but Barely Blush has good pigmentation and sturdy packaging.
I wasn't too keen on the drying feel of the lipstick but i like the overall look of the lipstick and gloss together. The glitter in the topcoat can be felt on the lips but it is not sticky.
Not all of the colours are matte and drying and have very good reviews but i personally wouldn't recommend this particular one.

Love the colours but can take a few layers for colour payoff with Wild Purple and Wild Green.
They are very cream and glide onto the eyelids nicely although they do crease.

Red Lip Look
With the red lip becoming more and more popular i thought i would share my favorite and inexpensive lipstick and lipgloss.
Both of these can be worn lightly, blended in for a natural daytime look or worn normally and/or layered for a night time look.
Firstly is one by Mua - Make up Academy which is found in Superdrug and is only £1.
The packaging is quite sturdy and the colour can been seen easily at the bottom of the tube which is great for finding in a hurry.
As for the lipstick, it has good pigmentation and is moisturising.
The colour is a pink berry red and has a subtle gold shimmer.
I normally wear it blended in if i want a slightly more natural look, it can work as a stain this way leaving a sheer wash of colour.
It is definitely not what you would expect for such a cheap lipstick but it means you can buy as many
as you want without feeling guilty.
The lipgloss is Rouge Democratic 06 by Bourjois. It is a sheer, buildable, slightly shimmery pink toned red.
It has a balm like texture and is quite long lasting. Perfect to wear day or night. Rouge Democratic
(Can also be found in Boots and Superdrug)
I actually really like the packaging, it is slim and transparent.
