TALON TALES: Blue Med by Models Own

Beauty

If you’re sat here looking at this picture and thinking “ugh…”, well how do you think I feel?  This was such a disappointment.  The formula was streaky and hard to work with.  The only positive thing about Blue Med if that it dried SO fast… buuuut if you made any mistakes you were stuck with them. I applied about 3 coats of this and you can still see my nails underneath.  Avoid! x x x

At the time of writing, the weather in England is a bit dire.  It’s wet, it’s windy; it’s downright miserable. *grumbles* *shakes fist at sky* I am however staying optimistic that we haven’t seen the last of the sunshine. Just in case the sun and the rain have got themselves muddled and the rain is here and the sun is in Spain, I will be reaching for the… Continue Reading on Ramblings of a Beauty Bird x x x

My June Beauty Favourites

Where the hell is this year going?! I’m sure it was only April yesterday! Stop the earth, I want to get off. We have had a tiny amount of sunshine in Yorkshire which means I’ve been wearing as little as possible… make up that is.  As I have been using a few products from the Crystal Clear Skincare ツ line my skin has improved, which has been giving me the confidence to put down the foundation.  I love wearing bright, red lipsticks but I hate how they end up smeared all over my face when I get into work.  I’ve been using …

THE SUN IS OUT, YAY! That means it’s time to style; without fear of ruined do’s by rain, snow or wind. I’m ready for you, summer. They say: Sebastian Professional Shaper Fierce is your last touch super strong-hold hairspray. Ideal for medium and heavy hair textures, this ultra-firm finishing hairspray provides dry-hold and shape to your hair; because fiercely dressed hair won’t let you down. I say: For years I used L’Oreal Elnett (take it in turns to send me some abuse – I deserve it) but I grew tired of the baby sick smell (vom).  I even tried using …

Beauty

It’s a common thing with bloggers to go back and to laugh at your earlier posts. Instead of laughing, I cringe rather violently.  I have decided to rewrite my reviews as I feel I can string a sentence better than I previously could. First up, it’s the Benefit b.right Moisture Prep Toning Lotion. *cracks knuckles* *runs montage* They say: Moisture Prep Toning Lotion smoothes, revitalizes and clarifies, allowing the skin to fully optimize benefits of any moisturizer. Leaves skin hydrated, soft and supple. I say: Toners toners toners.  I’ve been reading so many skincare blogs lately that I’m actually beginning …

Choosing my favourites for this month was easy – it was simply the ones I had needed by my side, one way or another… *dramatic music* I went on a small holiday in April for my birthday so I needed to pack light but I also needed things to make me look pretty! First up, it’s the Bioderma Sensibio H20 ツ.  I was very lucky to be sent this and wowza, I can see why it is so hyped! I’m going to post a review of this VERY soon and I’m forewarning you now it’s going to be a rave, not a …

I’ve been blogging for over a year now and I still don’t have a clue what my cuticles do apart from ruining my Talon Tales posts… *hmph* They say: Burt’s Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream gives your needy nails a helping hand. Nourish and moisturise nails and cuticles with this intensive, natural treatment. A touch of lemon oil makes your nails smell incredibly clean, healthy and beautiful, naturally. I say: Oh cuticles, y u straggle and make my nails look so grimy?  My friend Brittany told me that you were supposed to push them back or snip them off… This lead to the following chain of …

TALON TALES: Greenberry from Barry M

Beauty

Hopefully you saw my previous post about Barry M and how they are cruelty free.  If not… soz for the spoilers. I’ve seen the new Gelly nail paint shades pop up on a few blogs and it was only until someone at work purchased one did my brain go “hey, I want one!”.  I decided to buy Greenberry, a minty green (in my opinion). This is the hardest polish to photograph EVER.  The picture above shows a blue.  It is not.  It is green.  I am at my wits end with the photo so if you want to see how …
