Beauty UK Nail Wraps- Strawberries and Cream

These are  nail wraps from Beauty UK. They are different from nail apps- they're not polish but a stretchy plasticy decal. Directions say, "simply remove all shine from your nails, stick on your chosen design, shape with the mini nail file (included) and hey presto, you have a brand new look! No heat or UV light required. 

First off, this design is super cute and I love the patterns. It was like designing a manicure but not having to put in any of the creative effort- sign me up. They were super easy to apply and I did not have a problem finding a size that fit my nail bed. As you can see I changed it up on my other hand so the patterns are all mixed and I have strawberry skittles! I didn't wear test them but had them on for a day and they held up nicely. The only thing I may do differently was buff the tips after filing so you don't get any snags; or add a top coat. When I peeled them off, my nail bed was in tact and there was no residue. I have another set to show you that is equally as cool :) Stay tuned!

INFO: All 14 designs are priced at £3.99 and are available online on at www.beautyukcosmetics.com and in Select and Internacionale stores.

Beauty UK: Lip Lust and Pearl Eyeliner

Recently Beauty UK sent me two fun products to review: Lip Lust and Pearl Eye Liner.  They are a cosmetics company and have all sorts of fun stuff from gloss to polish and tools.
About the Lip Lust: (from Beauty UK's site)
Lips, lips, oh luscious lips! Richly pigmented and lightly scented gloss to bring a new dimension to any look. Flavoured with papaya, mint or strawberry and applied with a soft and svelte applicator, everything about this gloss leaves you feeling all warm inside!11 brilliant shades to choose from!


I was sent Moulin Rouge which looks like a bombshell red in the tube but to my happy surprise transferred to my lip as a shimmery/glittery dark pink. I did a light coat, but it does layer well if you want darker color.

The tip of the tube is fuzzy and I think adds to the smooth application because it doesn't pool up but rather spreads.  It is lightly scented and feels barely there on the lip.  These retail for 2.99 GBP and you can see the other colors here.

This is going in my purse for when I need some quick easy color to my lips! You  can see in the swatch that if you add more than one coat, it becomes more opaque so you can choose your density

The next thing I received was a liquid eye liner. I swatched it on my forearm for you so you can see the real color. Here's a bit about this beauty:

A unique collection of glimmering, pearlescent liquid liners that dry with a pearl like opalescence. Liquid Liners can be worn alone, or smudged together to give you unlimited options.

Available in 8 shimmering shades. 3.49 GBP. 

I started with a more dense application then thinned it out so you could see how it shimmers with depth.  (I suggest enlarging the picture too). It's pretty awesome to have a liquid liner that is pearly instead of flat and dull.  One thing I really liked was the wand because it was contoured so it fit in my hand well, like I was holding a customized pen.  

I love that their products are shimmery and not flat. I think it adds a happy feel to the look and draws the eye to the lip/eye. They also have liquid glitter liner that looks amazing and a ton of BAKED EYESHADOWS!! Don't forget, they also have polish products if you're not too into make up :-)
