No7: Stay Perfect.

My obsession with lipsticks is quickly growing and right now I am loving this one by No7 called stay perfect.

  

This shade is classic rose and absolutely gorgeous on. It feels moisturising when first put on but after around half an hour starts to feel dry so as always condition your lips before putting it on. 


The swatch is shown with the flash on as it best resembles the colour whereas without the flash made the colour look much more red! 

No7: Classic Rose - £9.50 @ Boots.
Available in 15 different shades. 

Have you tried any of these shades before? What other highs street lipsticks should I try?

Say Hello to perfect hands and nails!


Todays theme seems to be hands and nails completely by coincidence I went shopping and both the products I bought seemed to be for hands and nails. 

The first one is this hand and nail cream from the body shop, it was reduced from £10 to £5 which I thought was a nice wee Sunday bargain. There is 3 other hand creams from the same range but I chose the almond one as I thought it smelled the nicest. 
It is said to strengthen your nails and keep your hands moisturised I have used it today and so far my hands have stayed moisturised and hydrated feeling but I cannot comment on whether it has helped my nails yet as I have not used it for long enough, will get back to you on that! 

Almond hand & nail cream £5/100g @ The body shop.

 


The second part of this post is my bargain of the week - Superdrugs conditioning cuticle oil pen costing only £2.99, therefore I had to try it! Containing vitamin E and Almond oil locking in moisture to protect again brittleness and breakage for healthier looking nails - sounds perfect!


This product is great from what I can see so far. Once you take the lid off there is a small brush at the tip and you use this to apply the oil to your nails. Once on your nails gently massage into the cuticles and using the hoof on the lid of the pen push your cuticles back. 


From me this is definitely worth purchasing as already my nails feel soft and look much healthier. It is said to prevent breakages so I will get back to you on that after using it for a few weeks!

Have you ever tried this? What is your top tips for strengthening your nails?

MAC: Shy Girl


Everyone is a fan of MAC make-up therefore I thought it was appropriate to make it my first beauty post. I was recently given their Shy Girl lipstick by my boyfriend for valentines day and it is my new everyday lipstick.

The packaging is the usual simple black bullet shape with little glitter speckles through it.

 

This colour is a peachy nude shade that I think would suit most skin tones not washing any out. It is quite creamy and lasts on me for around 3-4 hours before it starts feeling dry so I would recommend moisturising your lips before using. 
I will definitely be repurchasing this when I run out. 

Shy Girl - £14 - 3g @ MAC



Yay I have officially broke my blogging virginity!

Very first post.


Hi I'm Leigh and welcome to my blog - Little Piece of Beauty. 


I am totally new to blogging myself although I have been reading blogs for quite a while now . I chose the name Little Piece of Beauty as it kind of sums up that my blog will be a little piece of everything from beauty to fashion and maybe even a little piece of lifestyle.

I am obsessed with all things beauty and fashion and especially shoes and have decided to write my thoughts and opinions down giving my friends and boyfriend a break!

I hope my blog will eventually become an good read for people and would love any advice anyone could give me.
