When I did my top 5 winter nail varnishes it seemed to go down really well, I mentioned in that post that I was thinking of doing a similar thing for ever season. So, without further ado here are my top 5 picks for Spring nails.

 The first one is Rimmel London's Brit Manicure nail colour in 445 English Rose. It is a rally nice clean and fresh looking colour. It almost impossible to detect apart from the subtle hint of pink in it. The varnish itself comes with the thickest fattest brush I have ever seen meaning you can coat each nail in one smooth swipe. I chose this colour because a clean and fresh colour matches the season perfectly with a lighter air compared to the darkness of previous months and a fresh new start.

I had to get a nice purple in there somewhere didn't I. This one is from M&S and part of their Limited Collection. The colour is Lavender. I like this colour because it has a perfect mix of bright but muted. I feel like this would make a nice transition into a bold bright purple that will be worn in Summer.

A green nail varnish is always going to be quite a bold choice and not one I could see myself wearing a few years ago. However, on a shopping trip in London I saw this in Topshop (the colour is Venus Flytrap) and totally fell for it. I wore it consistently all of last Spring and Summer and I plan on carrying on the trend next year too. The quality of the nail varnish is amazing too, it looks nice and shiny.

The Barry M Nail Paint in Peach Melba was one of my first proper nail varnishes and I've repurchased it many a time since. It paints on very well and this colour in particular is a nice mixture of fun, bright and fresh and a clean and mature colour. I feel like it's a good colour for Spring because of this and I'm sure I'll be buying a new bottle again soon.

Last but not least is another Barry M Nail Paint, this time in Mushroom which is a sweet mushroom brown colour (as the name would suggest). I feel like this colour has a pastel undertone to it which prevents me from wearing it too much in winter but as soon as the opportunity arises I break it out. I never wear this without someone giving me a compliment and telling me how nice it looks. I would definitely give this a look next time you go shopping.

I'll see you all next time, also come Summer would you like to see a top 5 for then too? Let me know in the comments.

Review: The Body Shop Lip Butter (Sweet Lemon):

Another review today, this time it's for a Body Shop product. This is the Body Shop Lip Butter in Sweet Lemon.

First things first the packaging is really nice and cute as with most Body Shop products, I like the fact the Lip Butters look like mini versions of the Body Butters in that they have the fruit on the top of the little tub with a colour that matches the product. 

As for the product itself the scent is quite possibly my favourite part of it, it smells exactly like sherbet lemon sweets. The taste is a little odd in that it has nothing lemony about it. It tastes a little like Vaseline to me. The consistency is also very true to it's name like the smell. It's exactly how I would imagine rubbing butter along the lips to feel.

I find that if my lips are already in fairly good condition then this is good to use in order to keep them soft, but for dealing with dry lips it does nothing as the fact it's a lip butter and has a buttery consistency can make it a little greasy and stop it sinking in.

All in all I'd say this is the perfect lip balm to put on at night because the consistency can sometimes mean it's a little heavy for use during the day. If you have £4 to spare and have lips that are usually in a good condition, but you like to take care of them then I'd recommend picking this up.

Review: Soap & Glory Mist You Madly:

It feels like such a long time since I've done a review, I don't know why I stopped because they're one of my favourite posts to write. With that in mind I thought I'd write you another. This one is going to be for Soap & Glory's Mist you Madly body spray.

I absolutely love this product for wearing in warm Spring/Summer weather, because it's such a bright feeling scent. The scent claims to be "A flirty floral fragrant body spray" and that is exactly what it is. Imagine having a really nice young perfume (but not sickly sweet) with an undertone of the typical Soap & Glory scent then you've got it pretty much bang on.

It's a fairly strong scent and you can use it as a perfume on just the wrist and neck or you can use it as intended as an all over body spray. Either way the scent will last all day without too much need for a top up. If you did want to add a little more throughout the day though it comes in a fairly gentle plastic bottle which means you can carry it around in your hand bag without fear of it smashing and leaking or banging into things and chipping at stuff in your bag. It also means it wont weigh you down when carrying it either.

The name and packaging are both amazing as expected with the brand because I'm yet to use a product of theirs that I don't like. I would definitely recommend giving this a smell next time you're in Boots and picking it up if you like it. It's a real bargain too compared to most perfumes and has good value for money in that I'm not even close to finishing my bottle and I've had it for ages.

That's all for this post, I hope you enjoyed it and if you've seen any other products in previous posts that you'd like a review of then let me know in the comments.

My Pandora Charm Collection:

This seems like a bit of a strange post to make but I wanted to do it anyway. I've been collecting Pandora Charms since my 16th birthday when I was given my bracelet and first ever charm. Now almost 2 years later this is what my bracelet looks like. I wear it every single day and love it to bits

I wasn't sure whether or not to include my safety chain but I figured it's a big part of a Pandora so why not. I have the daisy one, I wasn't too sure of it at first it was the prettiest of the two available but it didn't really strike me as stunning. Over time it's really grown on me and I'm so glad I've bought it because to wear the chain is far better than the possibility of losing it.

The charm I got along with my bracelet is this cute white charm with light blue spots. It was this that made me decide that I wanted my theme to be blue and silver.

 The next charm was a present from my mum and dad for passing all of my GCSE's with good grades, and very fitting it is too. It's a little pile of three textbooks with a smart looking owl on one side and the word study on the back.

This cute little charm I got for myself as a little treat right when my Pandora was still new, I saw it and fell in love and bought it straight away. Its a light blue glass with sweet little light blue lady birds around the edge.

This charms was a present from Myles not this Valentines day but the one before, so Valentines day 2013. It's an adorable pair of love birds all cuddled up together with a heart between them which says love on one side and you on the other. I have to say this is probably one of my favourite charms.

My seventeenth birthday bought this little guy into my life. If this is the only post of mine that you've read then you probably won't know that elephants are my favourite animal of all time and I have such a love for them. This elephant is no exception, isn't he adorable? 

This charm is from Christmas 2013, a light blue enamel charm with silver leaf vines wrapped around it. I have to admit I'd been hinting at this one for a long time in the hope of getting it for Christmas, and it looks like it worked. It's so different to most of the charms available not an animal or flower, for that reason I love it.

The latest addition to my collection is also my first dangling charm. I was given it last Christmas which I'm sure if you saw my What I Got For Christmas Haul you'll already know. It's a little rat to represent my Chinese New Year Animal. I think he looks super sweet and adds a little something to my bracelet as he dangles.

Well that's all of my charms for now at least. I hope you enjoyed something a little different, let me know if you did in the comments and if you'd like to see a Pandora update in the future when I have a few more charms.

Product's I Regret Buying:

I have to admit I feel a little guilty putting this post up because I'm so used to reviewing products I love or at least giving balanced reviews on things, though these products are ones that I just haven't enjoyed using at all.

First thing's first is something that I've had for absolute years. It was one of my very first items of make up on a little Superdrug trip with my mum, I've had it so long that all of the packaging has rubbed off and I've had to have a little Googling session to be able to tell you that the product in question is Miss Sporty's So perfect Stay Cover stick. This is quite possibly the thickest cover stick I've ever used, it leaves your face feeling heavy and weighed down, not to mention the fact is highlights any bit of rough or dry skin (including in places you didn't realise you had any). The colour is also pretty orange toned too which is just the mouldy cherry on top of a very disappointing cake for me. If I had to give you any positives it would be that for those random under the skin red spots it's a good little cover up but I've still found much better.

Next is the Natural Collection Sheer Natural Lipstick's as an overall. The colour I have is Autumn Sunset which in the bullet looks like a really lovely warm toned pink colour but comes out as a faint almost white colour (if any colour pay off comes our at all) I've found this with all of their lipsticks and I used to think it was just me until a conversation came about with a group of my friends that had them all saying the same things. All of the lipsticks are practically white, slippy, lack colour pay off and enhance every dry patch and crack in the lips.

Another disappointing lipstick is Barry M's lipstick in Marshmallow (101). This is a really thick and almost hard formula which means you can feel it pulling your lip around as you apply it. As well as this the colour is almost white and feels very heavy and unnatural on the lips. In a strange way though I don't regret buying it to an extent because it has been the perfect colour for both my Barbie Makeup Tutorial, and Vampire Tutorial.

The Garnier Miracle Skin Perfecter B.B cream was a huge mistake buying. It claimed to be a light colour whereas it's actually one of the darkest I've ever seen in a skinbase aimed at light skin. Not only this but it was ridiculously shiny leaving me looking like I'd been through five trips to the gym in a horrible almost ill sheen. When wearing this all day I'd look in the mirror at the end of the day and find awful patches in some places and it had completely gone in others! 

This product is not so much a bad product than an unnecessary one for me. This is Marc Daniels "Go Curly" Serum which makes hair curly and smooth. I know what you're thinking why on earthh do I own something that makes hair go curly when I already have really curly hair naturally? I bought this years ago when my hair was only wavy but then out of no where a few years a go it developed into the strong ringlets I have today leaving me with no need for this serum.

When I was younger this Shampoo and Conditioner used to be one of my favourites (Alberto Balsam's Juicy Green Apple) however I don't know why or how but my scalp seem to have developed into something that severely disagrees with it. It makes my scalp itch like it never has before and feel really tight and uncomfortable. I'm not sure whether this happens to everyone or if it's just my scalp but I hugely regret buying these and I know for certain I'll never be using it again.

That's all for another post, I hope you enjoyed it. Let me know if disappointing products are something you's like to see more of instead of only good reviews. Personally I think popping these posts I every now and again would be something a little different from the usual posts I upload.
