Well here we are LOCKDOWN! I hope you’re all doi Well here we are LOCKDOWN! I hope you’re all doing ok?
I’ve been thinking about what I’m going to do over this time period and how to get the most out of it.
Being the final 6 months of my PhD, I will have to start writing my thesis now instead of later but to break that time up with more fun things (not that science isn’t fun 🙄). I’m thinking baking, play the piano and experimenting with makeup! It doesn’t matter that no one is going to see my makeup or hear me play, I’m doing it for me but at the same time I’m not going to force myself to do to anything I don’t feel like or feel pressured to learn something new or start something big just because we have this time. 
I think it’s important to take a break and reset without anything or anyone sucking your energy. Only do things that you really want to and help you feel better now and for the future when this is over.
What are your plans for lockdown?
For me makeup is art. Your face is the canvas and For me makeup is art. Your face is the canvas and the fact you can take any colour/finish/texture and create something that completely reflects your personality and mood is amazing and yes maybe it also fuels my need to have so many pretty palettes!! The @jackieaina @anastasiabeverlyhills eyeshadow palette is incredible! The colours are soooooo pigmented but still really wearable. It’s like a work of art itself.
What’s your favourite ABH palette?

Currently away on a mini weekend trip with @openingupcricket and loving all the things to see and do (and eat) in Glasgow. I’ve always loved Scotland and Glasgow is my all time favourite Scottish city. Is there a way to become an honorary Scotsman please?!

There’s enough to do in the mornings before work without having to spend half an hour doing up your face.

That’s why I’m loving @Primark.Beauty to create a super quick, everyday look to help me look glowing and more importantly, at really affordable prices.

Who else loves earrings?! I really need to wear th Who else loves earrings?! I really need to wear them more often because 1. Jabbing them through the piercing that has been empty for months is no fun and games 😂 and 2. They just elevate your look to the next level!! Seriously, whether they’re long, studs, gold, sparkly, colourful, patterned, they make me feel so put together. 2020 is my year for accessorising!
Gifted| Back to work and I’m really not here for Gifted| Back to work and I’m really not here for it! What I am here for is these natural Wispies eyelashes from @ardellbeauty. I do love false lashes but because I don’t have a lot of lid space, I find they always look heavy and unnatural on me so I give up and they get shoved in a drawer. That’s why I was dubious at first with these but the second I put them on, I fell in love. The natural style adds volume to my lashes without looking heavy and really do pass as being my own, even in person!! They’re easy to put on as the band is nice and flexible and stay put throughout the day. These are my lashes for sure! Have you tried Ardell lashes before?

Nails Inc Stay Bright Neon Nail Polish
June 10, 2016 Nail Love•Nails•Secret Rendezvous

Nails inc does Neon

Nothing makes me think of summer more than bright colours, sunshine and a pina colada… or four, and with warmer weather just around the corner (hopefully!), what better way to get in the summer spirit by adding a pop of colour to your look with neon bright nails.

With that in mind I rushed down to the Harvey Nichols Nails inc champagne bar for some nail TLC courtesy of their Reward Scheme. Whilst sipping on an excellent cappuccino, I got to check out the newly launched stay bright neon nail polish collection. After spending several very long minutes ooing and ahhing over all of the neon brights, I finally settled on Great Eastern Street, a vibrant, juicy coral.

NailsInc Bar-side

The ladies at Nails inc bar are excellent to have a good natter with and after chatting about holidays, shopping and of course the British weather, they inform me that this latest nail collection is the world’s first neon nail polish that will not fade in colour intensity. All three colours deliver true neon brightness through their unique activator base coat.

Following a shape, buff and base of antioxidant infused superfood NailKale, I was all set for one coat of activator and two coats of my neon bright, all topped off with 45 second top coat to show off my new manicure even quicker.

Finally, a dab of moisturising superfood repair oil to maintain nail and cuticle health and I was neon hot to trot.

Finished nails

Do I think Nails inc stay bright neon bright polish lives up to expectations?

Most definitely! The colours are vibrant, fun and of course you can purchase individual bottles and a mini kit containing smaller versions of great eastern street and claridge gardens as well as that all important activator so you can go neon whenever you choose.

So whether it is raining or shining this summer (I remain hopelessly optimistic for sun as always), make sure to check out Nails inc neon polish. It will brighten up any day.

Stay bright,

B Lips
