Nanshy Marvel Makeup Sponge| Blending Sponge

If you have not heard the new way to apply makeup, then where have you been? Forget foundation brushes, the regular sponge, and even the oh-so-perfect Kabuki brush, let me introduce you to the blending sponge. You must have heard about the Beauty Blender. How could you not have? Pretty much every beauty blogger has been talking about it. Why wouldn’t they? The sponge can seriously blend away everything. Now for those of you who are on a budget, and don’t particularly want to spend £15 on the Beauty Blender, fear not as Nanshy’s Marvel Makeup Sponge* has come to the rescue.

Coloristiq | Nail Polish Rental

I know we have all been there with nail polishes. We all have way too many bottles of polish than we really need, because we have just bought the newest colour on trend. So now, the bottles are stored somewhere, written off use and we have no idea what to do with them.

Gym virgin| First time at the Gym

I know the feeling. You’ve just got your first gym membership and you are dreading the idea of working out in front of everyone else. Having them watch you whilst you try and push yourself, when really you can only last about five minutes on a treadmill. Your fitness levels are that bad. Having to walk around the gym area looking all red faced and puffed out, your new gym kit has also got sweat dripping down it. Trust me, I’ve certainly been there before. When I first signed up to the gym I was exactly the same. I was so shy and self conscious about what everyone else was doing that I didn’t really enjoy going to the gym. It felt like a bit of a chore. For some people that’s exactly how it feels now, perhaps, though, for different reasons. No matter how many times people tell you…
