Born Pretty Store 3D Metal Twist Hoops Nail Art Decoration [Review + How To Use]

A couple of weeks ago I was offered the opportunity to try out some nail decorations from the website Born Pretty Store. Check out the online store by clicking HERE

Of course being the nail art addict that I am I was well acquainted with this website [plus they have free shipping].

One of the things that I chose were these Metal Round Shape Decorations. They cost just $1.99 [for 10 pieces] and you can get yours by following this link HERE.

If you want you can use the discount code: AIB10 to get 10% off your order.

Sooooo these round hoops come in both silver and gold. 

You do have to straighten them with small pliers [or small scissors] in order to get them to lay flat on the nail bed.

I first stick them with a small amount of gel topcoat, which I cure after so that the metal hoop does not move around on the nail. I then coat the whole of the nail with topcoat to seal the design etc. You can also fix them to the nail with some good nail glue.

You can use these hoops by themselves, or else you can put rhinestones, pearls etc in its centre.

If you scroll below I've attached 3 examples where I used them on my clients.

Hope you like them!

Makeup Revolution Cream Blusher in 'Rose Cream' [First Impressions | Review]

Blushers are one of my main makeup weaknesses - just like lipsticks and mascaras [and foundations ...] I really can't say no and I tend to hoard loads of them.

So when I placed an order with Makeup Revolution, I was set upon testing out their blushers. I prefer cream blushers [although I do sometimes set them with a matching powder version].

I did buy one cream, one normal and one baked blusher.

But this review is about their Cream Blusher in the shade Rose Cream.

This cost me just £1.50 [exc. shipping] and you can get yours from HERE.

If I'm not mistaken, there are just 4 shades from the cream line. [and 6 different shades for both the baked and powder versions]

The one I got is in the shade 'Rose Cream'

As you can tell, it comes in a hinged, plastic container and you get 3.4grm worth of product.

I haven't had any problems for now with the packaging but it does feel a bit flimsy, but for the price I bought it for, who's complaining? 

The shade I have is, like the name implies, a rose coloured one [a colour which I'm loving at the moment] and I do think it goes really well with my yellow undertoned, olive skin.

It is very well pigmented and you do have to use a light hand with this, although it does blend effortlessly well.

You can use both a blush brush or your fingers for a flush of colour.

This does last surprisingly well - more so than I expected [or more so than I expected a £1.50 cream blusher to last]. After about 4 hours it starts to fade though [especially if you have oily skin like moi and you do not set it with some sort of powder], but you can easily pop this in your purse and touch it up during the day.

Have you tried anything worth recommending by Makeup Revolution? Do tell!

Love,

Lola
