Sunday Stamping: Skittle

Skittle nails with stamping, this time I used some pearlescent pastel polishes and mattified them.

Matte Polish: George - Matt Finish
Stamping Polish: W7 - Black
Stamping Plate: M70


 

Swatch: Models Own - Purple Haze

This is a standard one size, one colour purple glitter polish. The photo was of three coats so would work better over a coloured polish base. I think this is a stunning glitter and sometimes in these days of amazing multi shaped / coloured glitter polishes the standard sized glitters can be overlooked. But I like the simplicity and the colour.

Nails: Paper Airplane

You might have seen these nails in a review I did a while back but these are so fun I had to share them properly! The base is Ciaté Headliner and I used the WAH / Models Own nail art pen in black for the trails, finally the little paper plane is from fake nail tattoos.

Review: Garnier - Moisture Match Wake Me Up


As you can see this is the tester which I got from here, not sure how long this is going for though. So one of the moisturisers I was recommended was this one, Wake me Up for Dull Skin. I have combination skin and dull is something my skin simply isn't. 

"A gel that feels like an immediate splash of freshness on your skin – a real wake-up call! It’s oil-free and super quick to absorb, giving you a feeling of hydration that lasts all day! Leave the house looking fresh-faced and ready to take on the day. The formula helps leave your skin feeling hydrated for up to 24 hours" - Garnier

The texture is gel like which is interesting, I have tried a gel moisturiser before and quite liked using it. This moisturiser is quite heavily scented, although it does say it is suitable for sensitive skin. The scent is of clean citrus, yes I fail at describing scents but it isn't as in your face as say a lemon citrus.


It left my face very shiny for hours after using it, my husband commented that I looked like I'd been perspiring and that was about 5 hours after using it. So I don't really think this moisturiser is for me, it says it is great for 'leaving the house in' which is something I will not be doing! Leaves your skin with a luminous look, well that claim is certainly true! Lets hope the other two moisturisers I was matched with fit my combination skin needs better than this one. If you want to look 'luminous' then I would say this could well be the moisturiser for you.
