Manglaze review!

I was so excited when this turned in the post this morning! Not only did it arrive earlier than anticipated (estimated delivery was 2-3 weeks but it turned up in 10 days!) but it was very well packaged to ensure there were no breakages.

After unscrewing the lid and taking out the brush, it looked like any other nail varnish. It had the same consistency and the same glossy colour. However, upon application it turned out to be so much more! As I painted my nails I could see all the tiny bits of glitter that gave the nail varnish something more. It dried after a few seconds and I could actually see it drying (which I think is definitely a bonus! I'm forever smudging my nail varnish, thinking it was dry). I did like the overall finish, but I think its going to take some getting used to...Its strange looking at a beautiful colour nail varnish that isn't glossy.

This is getting a huge thumbs up from me!

Feedback?

What do you think of my blog?
It would be great if you could leave a comment telling me what you like, what you don't like, what you want more of, what new things you'd like to see...

Sink Or Swim

I was first introduced to Save Your Breath at Newcastle Uni. It was the 20th May 2010 and I'd dragged my sister along with me to see The Rocket Summer. Save Your Breath were supporting and with catchy songs and lots of energy, it was hard not to feel enthusiastic about their music, I fell in love with them instantly.

Recently the band have tweeted links to free downloads for “Stay Young” and “Sink Or Swim”, so obviously I downloaded both! (You can download them here)

As the intro starts, the song sounds like a typical Blink-182 song… and then the vocals kick in. Sink or Swim has lyrics that most people will be able to relate to and you can’t help but sing along. Stay young will always be my favourite as it holds some pretty good memories,  but for now I’m loving Sink Or Swim.

MUA

'Make Up Academy' is Superdrug's own brand of cosmetics and with each item costing just £1, I thought it was definately worth a try.

Superdrug boast; "Make Up Academy provides trend shades on a budget, allowing you to achieve the latest looks without breaking the bank!".

I have to say, I was majorly disappointed. For £1, its barely good enough for my 3 year old niece's make up bag. I applied the recommended 2 coats, followed by an additional 2 coats and I still wasn't satisfied. Its chipped already and looks no better than the crappy stuff found in a kids make up set from Poundland...

Body Shots

You may remember her as 13 year old "Kaci", who had us singing along to "Paradise" and her cover of David Cassidy's "I Think I Love You", but she's come a long way since then.

Kaci Battaglia, a singer, songwriter, dancer, actress and professional kickboxing instructor, is back with the 2nd single from her comeback album "Bring It On".


"Body Shots" is the kind of song you listen to while you're getting ready for a night out on the town, or the song you dance to after you've had a few drinks and you're letting your hair down...a Britney beat with Aguilera vocals. A fun, sexy song with a guest appearance from Ludacris.

Leave comments below and let me know what you think!
Don't forget to follow Kaci on Twitter and become a fan on Facebook (UK Facebook). You can also add her as a friend on Myspace, download her songs from iTunes and check out more of her videos on Youtube.
