I dropped my eldest off at football camp this morning, and on the way back, I had to pop into trusty Boots for some essentials.  Just as I made my way to the till point, I was rather distracted and bedazzled by some lovely House Of Holland nails. I immediately knew I had to blog them for us, and as I neared the front of the store, look what else popped into my eager hands! This sparkly darling Mascara from none other than No.7! Now I need a new mascara like a hole in the head, but I’m looking pretty dire today after pulling a 1am prosecco-fuelled finish last night, so I feel my subconscious was giving me a subliminal pep talk by drawing me towards this product. No point in having a vanity case bursting with eye-fix remedies and not using them, is there? I didn’t have my make up bag out with me, so I hastily purchased my Ruby themed lovelies and nipped to the ladies’ in Costa, prior to meeting my best friend for a much needed caffeine fix. For daytime, I tend to go quite minimal on my eyes, so that when I am off out somewhere in the evening, I play on the contrast and can go for a vamped up version of myself.  I usually stick with Mac on my eyes and a quick tidy up of my brows, which I have tinted regularly, but sometimes I need emergency revitalising so I was hoping No.7 would do its job here.  Tentatively I rolled on the solution, using a hand pleasing stubby applicator which I personally prefer to the more popular skinny ones. This is how one volumised eye compared to my tired old bare one when I applied this Lash Impact delight. I’m sure you will agree, quite a dramatic difference. I didn’t even need to use much, just a few strokes on each lash to build the colour and I was done. Obviously, being someone who likes to feel quite well-balanced most of the time, I perked up my other eye too, and bounded out to meet my partner in crime with twinkling eyes and a spring in my step. So my bestie Andrea loves a fancy nail as much as I do and we greedily devoured these Elegant Touch for HofH nails, oooh-ing over the sparkle from the crystals attached. Only one criticism, in a pack of 24 nails, only 4 were encrusted, which doesn’t allow for much wastage or any nail loss although still really great value for £8.99. On the flip side, the reflective shine from the simple nails was lush, creating true drama for your talons. You probably would only need the crusties on the pinkies for a unique flash of dazzle, and the unadorned ones for your other fingers. These are fantastic for a girls night out or wearing with a dramatic dress for a more formal occasion, bringing a sense of style to your tips and definitely putting your vamp stamp on the moment!
