Hey lovelies,
Just wanted to say that I'm going to be taking a break from blogging from now until probably the end of June due to A-Level exams :( I know blogging doesn't take up much of my time but it's time I could be spending doing a past paper or some revision.
I'm hoping to be back around the 20th of June, but who knows:)
Thank-you for following me so far, and I'll speak with you all soon!
Ps. If any of you would like to do a guestpost for my blog please leave a comment or drop me an email (chloelouisecope@gmail.com) and I'd love to feature you :)

NOTD: Barry M GellyShine in Papaya
Hey lovelies, just a quick notd post for you to fill up my blank posts because although I've been buying stuff and have a huge list of stuff to review, revision is taking up my life at the mo so I hope you guys don't mind the sparse posts recently - I'm sorry! :(
I've wanted to try the Gelly Shine polishes by Barry M for a very long time, but the colours never really appealed to me much - until they brought out Papaya. I LOVE this colour, but I can't really describe it because of how different it appears in different lights, which is why I've included 3 photos of it on my nails in different lights for you guys :)
Please excuse my awful nails, I have the habit of biting the skin around my nails ewww, plus I work in a stockroom so I'm always carrying big boxes and my hands take the toll :(
I've found that this looks a mixture between orange, peach and pink so I'm not really sure whether I could recommend it to someone haha! But I love it, and for £3.99 cannot complain!
Have you tried any of these polishes? Definitely worth a whirl girls!

Review: Barry M Makeup Brushes
Hey everyone, sorry again for the lack of blog posts, I've got so much work to do at the moment, I think all my teachers have decided to pull their fingers out with a few weeks left of college.. Anyway, as a bit of a treat I decided to break my makeup brush virginity. That's right, I don't own a proper makeup brush (until now) .. ps. I have an overall face brush, which is only from models own but I don't class that as a proper one because it's so basic.
I decided to try out the Barry M makeup brush collection and I bought the concealer and eyeshadow brush which were £2.99 each but are currently on offer at Superdrug for buy one, get one half price - niiiiice.
I'm always a tad skeptical about makeup brushes because I find that my fingers and the eyeshadow triangles you get with most products do the job nicely, but I thought I'd try makeup brushes and see how I get on.
The concealer brush (orange) is probably my favourite out of the two, but the eyeshadow brush for me doesn't give much to be beaten on. I believe they're made out of synthetic material but whether they are I don't actually know. The bristles of the brush seem very close together, whether this is due to the type of brush again, I don't know but it does a job. It applies my concealer much better than the swipey stick thing you get with it and I find myself using less product by using the brush - yay! I'm not really a fan of the bright orange but that's something I'll have to get used to.
The eyeshadow brush (green) for me is a lot less than expected, so I'm disappointed to say the least. I tried using it with my shadow for my brows too but I was again disappointed. It doesn't hold the product very well, so you have to apply lots to the brush before you can actually tell you've put some on your face, which makes applying my shadow much more time consuming that it needs to be.
I'm probably expecting too much from these brushes but I'm unsure whether I'll be using them in the future. The concealer brush stands a much greater chance of being kept whilst the eyeshadow one unfortunately might have to be binned. Boo.
Any recommendations for moderately cheap brushes? I need your helps girls! xxxx

What I've bought so far..
Hey everyone! Sorry for such a lack of posts recently, I just haven't been that inspired and deadlines are killing me, I thought I'd show you a few bits and bobs that I've bought so far, only a day after pay day and I've already bought so much. I'm planning on doing a review or post on most, if not all of these products so I don't want to say anything about them at the minute :)
