L'Oreal Duo Nail Varnish- Review


Hello guys. I hope you have been having fun during this amazing time of the year. Anyways, recently I have partnered with a company called 'Toluna'. But don't worry if you haven't heard it from before I will leave the links for their social medias below so you can go and check it out. As they are situated in France they have kindly sent me some nail varnish from L'Oreal, for me to test it out. So here it is the review of the product.

This is the L'Oreal Color Riche Duo Manicure kit. Meaning is a kit to create French manicure but with a range of different colours not just the standard white and a base coat. This can be a little bit more out of people's comfort zones. The shades I have are 009 in 'Frosted Pearl' and 624 in 'Blue Lagoon'. They are amazing summery shades to wear at the moment and this specific shades are great to enhance your natural tan colour, without the use of a fake tanner. 

They also have an awesome lasting power in which that is what we look for really in a nail varnish and it is also a buildable product which with three layers at least you will have your desired shade. However, one thing i was really worried about was the applicator brush because in one of them (Blue Lagoon) had an angled tip. I really don't know, why I was so worried,but I can tell you now that the tip was a life saver for me because you can have control over the lines being made and that is very important when it comes to French nails. Also, if you were wondering the other nail varnish has a standard tip. The nail varnish has a good finish with a nice amount of gloss with tiny shimmers to make it stand out a but more.

Again I am not sure if you can get this in a variety of different colours but I will check and link everything below. I also think that they have a very affordable price range, which anyway can buy so expand their nail polish collection. They are not out in the UK as a kit but I think you can get them on Amazon and Ebay.

Thanks for reading and please go and check the company's social medias it would mean a lot to me and to them for sure. I hope you enjoyed this and see you next time, with a brand new post for you guys. Goodbye.

Summer Essential Check List



Hello guys. Hope you all have had an amazing week. Sorry, I haven't been posting as regularly as I would like to but I have been busy with school work and exams. But I have some good news, I recently finished them, which means I have more time to write blog posts and upload them more frequently. As we all know summer is coming up which made me think that I can share with you guys some of my favourite summer essentials that I find out to be really useful during this hot, hot season.

1# Water /or any other beverages you may prefer
Yes I know this is a very stereotypical tip but it is true. You need to stay hydrated during summer otherwise it will lead to dehydration meaning you wouldn't be able to fully appreciate you holidays. Also water helps to improve your skin complexion as it moisturizes, keeps it fresh and smooth and I gets rid of wrinkles and loads more of good stuff. Go and get your water bottle out.

2#Fresh Air
Fresh air is very similar to 'water' in a way that has lots of benefits for you mind and body. Going out for just 10 minutes or even less can make someone instantly much happier. Fresh air also has the benefit of giving you more energy and helps to sharpen your mind and I can tell you you will be saving your money because I far as I know you won't be needing to pay for anything.

3# BB Creams
I will tell you that would not be a regular post if I didn't mention at least one beauty related product. I feel like for summer you don't need as much coverage as you may need during any other season and I know I am not that person that would spend at least 1 hour doing my make up. In summer we want everything to be lightweight and quick. The one product I would recommend would need to be the Garnier BB Cream for Normal Skin. This is the best BB cream I have ever tried, it moisturizes you skin without being greasy or oily at all and I gives you a really good coverage with only one layer but it is definitely a buildable product.

4# Body Moisturizers
Being able to show of your soft and great skin is one of the best things about summer. Having the best moisturizer during summer is just like having a high SPF sun-screen. Also, having the skin of your dreams will definitely boost up your confidence. I can guarantee that! Again the one I would suggest is the Garnier (again because I can't get enough of it) Intensive 7 days Body Lotion in mango and honey. This is the best moisturizer i have ever tried. This gives you that smooth finish with a great essence and and a fast absorbing power and you don't need to keep pilling it on every single day because I know, no one ever do that.

5# Lip Balms/Tinted Lip Balm
Cracked lips? No, make the change of having the best lips during summer because if you do have a boyfriend or partner you will for sure be kissing a lot and I don't think chopped lips are the way to go.  The best lip balms and tinted lip balms are difficult to find  especially when you are very picky on what you like. just like me. But good and affordable lip balms/tinted lip balms are the best in the drugstore. I like using the Baby Lips- lip balms in Hydrate and Baby Lips-Tinted lip balm in Cherry Me. You should probably try it if you haven't yet.

6# Heat-less Hairstyles
Non-heat hairstyles are the best way of keeping your hair looking good without damaging it because during summer you are already receiving to much heat from the Sun. So...you don't want to add more on top of it. Wave Creating Sprays and Salt Sprays are a good way of making your hair look AMAZING without putting on to much effort or time. I think the L'Oreal Studio Line offers a good choice of hair products to great amazing looks. Also the VO5 Line and the Tresemme Lines are great.

7# Whiter Teeth
Having good white teeth during summer is the best. Lots of photos and videos will be taken so you want to look good, not just in your body shape. There isn't much to say on this section but that is definitely an essential if you are the kind of person that enjoys having that nice white smile because I certainly love that. There are millions of products in the market right now for whitening teeth but one I seemed to enjoy is the Pearl Drops Beauty Sleep serum, which you put on at night and wake up in the morning with a fresh new smile. But different people like different products so share them with me below.

That is it guys. I hope you have enjoyed knowing what are my summer essentials because these types of posts and videos during this time of the year are the best due to the reason that is the time I get to try new products without being so worried about the results I might get after. Please follow this blog if you want to see more posts similar to that or completely different you chose. Recently I created a Facebook page which allow you guys to maintain contacted with me at all times and find out when I post on my blog but I will leave all the links for my social medias below. Thanks for reading and again I hoped you enjoyed this. Goodbye and until next time.
