I say slightly redundant because I've pretty much not hauled anything this month. Between Duke of Edingburgh, family members coming to stay, and that huge boner kill of not having any funds, it's been a spend free month :( Apart from prom shopping. That was essential. and expensive.

Regardless, here is like a collection of stuff that I've cumulatively hauled from 2001 last month. Feels like forever :(


 Nails Inc/Fabulous polishes: I collected the tokens, so now I have a spare set which I was going to give away until I got back from D of E and then everyone hated the News of The World so I thought it might be best to leave that...alone for a bit.
Two Miners polishes which I should add to the blogsale, not really that enamoured with these.
Last month's Glamour offer. I picked up Benetint and High Beam.




Two Barry M crackle polishes, the pink one and the black one - these are sooo cool and were my first foray into the dark crackle underworld...does anyone want a full review on these? I'm under the impression almost everyone has already done one.
Everyday Minerals rollerball eyeshadow! It scares me how easily I fall for a gimmick...
I bought Pears soap on the basis of a review I saw by Fee on how non-drying and gentle it was on sensitive skin, which really excited me. But when I got home and talked to her on twitter about it (@MakeupSavvy) I realised she'd actually done a follow up post to say they'd changed the formula and it was now quite harsh! #learntoresearchlena
I cut it up into little cubes and we're using it for hand soap at the moment. At least it was (relatively) cheap.



Lastly, my new nail polish love: 'Copacabana' by Nails Inc. It's this gorgeous coral colour which everyone and their pet of choice needs in their life this summer...bright but not off putting and applies really well. I had to buy two Dove deodorants in Boots for this offer, which wasn't too bad as I usually use Dove anyway. I then went back for two more so I could get another bottle...obssessed much? The other colour, 'Havana', was really boring and looked sheer so I left it alone. They should have named it 'Sand' or something. If I think 'Havana', I think something vibrant and colourful, not yet another greige nude tea colour. grumble, grumble.

Ahaha. Aren't you sick of my frankens yet?

I used the empty bottle of lilac nail polish that I used in my very first post (ah, the memories!) and filled it with the Wilkinson's blue (that is really starting to annoy me as it chips so easily, so I'm trying to use it up) and some of a metallic yellow nail art pen that leaks everywhere. Sigh. Added some gold glitter into the mix and some of the Boots confetti blackcurranty nail polish that I reviewed yesterday. Stir it all up and you have....

...an explosion in a bogey factory :P I will name thee, "Frankenstein". It's a very murky green, not really what I was going for at all but still an interestingly unique colour. I was aiming for this:

You see my legwarmers?

Look! My fingers match my legwarmers! Just thought I'd share.
What do you guys think then?

Oh, and also I was going to quickly compare the two moisterisers that I use, Palmer's Cocoa Butter and Dove.
I love the smell of Palmer's so use it on my face, as it's not greasy at all and makes my face look great.
But I use the Dove over my body as it gives it a noticeable shine and feels really moisterising. Which is great, especially if you're wearing a skirt in summer and you want your legs to look their best, but on your face it can look a little odd.
What beauty products are you guys into? xxx.
