Drops of Pearl


Do you have a favourite mouthwash? I don't, I usually buy what's on offer and I couldn't tell you what's best. As soon as I saw on London Beauty Queen that Pearl Drops has released a whitening mouthwash, I was excited to try it - not as excited as with false lashes, obviously but excited nevertheless because of the look of the bottle. Let's face it, mouthwashes are not the prettiest bottles sitting in your bathroom (I am looking at you, unsightly Colgate Plax) are they? So I think, Pearl Drops have done an pretty amazing job with this bottle.

Is it to going to make my teeth whiter? I doubt it. But with such a sleek elegant bottle and at better than half price at Superdrug (£1.50 instead of £3.99) it would have been mad not to give it a go :)

Pay Day Temptations


If I didn't know before today I was a nail polish addict, today I have one proof my love for nail polishes has reached uncontrollable heights. I've just indulged in a models own half price sale (my polishes have reached me safely 2 days afterwards!) I've not played with them yet and I want some more. Let me share with you what I've now got my heart on.


These polishes are from the Models Own Professional Range, which is a little bit pricier than the normal range: £8 per bottle as opposed to £ 5, for the traditional range


The Models Own Professional justifies their prices as it is "specially formulated to both assist nail growth and prolong colour, preventing any fading. Added benefits of the premium range include vitamin E and UV sun filters to protect the nail". The added benefits do sound very nice but at the end of the day it's still £8.


This another bootleg press release picture, showing of the very well kept stand of Models Own Professional range in the Boots shop in a town near me.

and these are the shades which got me drooling in particular.

I need to hang in my head in shame as I wrote the information about the first polish incorrectly and looking back at my notes, there is no way that this polish can be called 'Stark Naked' and be a nude beige with a golden shimmer. My guess is that this one is called ‘Lavender Blue’. ‘Pinky Pearl’ is a rather odd name for this sumptuous shade of shimmer reddy rusty orange shade. ‘Sunny Honey’ is a shimmery golden yellow and Clay Away is gorgeous shade of khaki.

If money grew on trees, those beauties would be what I would have loved to spend my pennies on. Boots have a got a special 'triple points 'offer on, especially for the bank holiday week end but I shall be good and resist... until there is hopefully another 3 for 2 offer on these polishes. If you do happen to know the name of pale lilac polish, please let me know!




Will you be splurging at Boots this week end?
