Healthy eating [Week 1]

Dear readers,

After spending the Christmas holidays (and all of autumn and winter tbh) gorging myself with food, I decided that it's time to (alas!) start eating healthier...

....and I've decided that it might help keep me on track if I kept a weekly diary of what I ate (trying to be as honest as possible), so that maybe having an audience will spur me on.

I've also decided to treat myself on Sunday if I were good and ate healthy all week...

Anyway, this is what I had this week (from Wednesday till today....cause everyone knows that diets start on 02/01/2013)....

MUA Nail Constellations

Dear readers,

Even though I love nail art, I rarely ever do anything different with my nails - I always have one full colour of nail polish (I don't like french manicures).

But!

I lately bought a small bottle of caviar beads (or micro beads - call them what you wish) from MUA (aka Makeup Academy), which come in a cute little bottle + funnel and are called Nail Constellations.

I got mine in Leo (my star sign ^.^ ) and I finally got to try them today!

I bought this when MUA had the 40% sale, but they surely won' break the bank if you decide to get one because they're so affordable! You can buy yours here! And at the moment they have a £1 off all their nail effects, even the Fluff (which I also bought but still waiting for my last order to be delivered). Yeyy!



What I think of the Nail Constellations:

I wasn't so sure about getting these but after all the rage I thought, why not? To be sure that they won't come off, instead of fixing them to the wet nail polish, I used a uv gel topcoat beneath and stuck them to it, and then cured under uv lamp. They are stuck solid hah :)

What impressed me was that from the beads are really tiny and so from the side they don't look huge.

Moreover, when you are done applying the beads you can pour the excess beads back into the container using the funnel.

Hopefully I won't nibble on them  cause they are sooo tempting!


They also come in four other shades (or star signs);

Have you tried them yet?

Much love,

Lorraine
