Swap with Jo

Recently I had the opportunity to have a swap with Jo, who runs a fab new blog Makeup Mayhem (go have a look, she's new to blogging but she goes into lovely amounts of detail). She had something I wanted, and in exchange I offered to pick up a couple of bits from London that she had wanted but hadn't been able to get.


Jo had snuck a couple of extra bits into the parcel, which was very sweet of her!

-Gosh Nail Lacquer "Purple Heart"
-Nails Inc Polish "Hans Palace"
-Nails Inc Polish "Hanover Square"
-Beautyuk Eye Shadow Collection "2"

I'm really looking forward to using the "Hanover Square" polish (the blue cream) for a full manicure as a quick swatch on one nail was pretty much opaque in one coat!

I'm also quite intrigued by the Beautyuk palette. I've seen the stands in Superdrug and it's a really cheap brand that I hadn't paid much attention to. I hadn't actually tried any of it which I think it why Jo sent me one of the palettes! I had a look at the website and was quite surprised to see how large the range was as I have only ever seen a few bits at my local Superdrug. I've had a quick swatch and the eye shadows seem nicely pigmented. They remind me a lot of the 120 palette that I used to have.

  1. I like the BeautyUK palettes, for the price they are really good value, and bring many colours into your collection, but they're probably not as good as Sleek, although there's a couple of shades that I love in both #1 and #2. Since getting my Sleek palettes I rarely reach for it though, unless I want something a bit more toned down.

    That Gosh polish looks gorgeous!
