So you know when you keep seeing something you want and then you can't stop it playing on your mind?
Well this has happened to me, with not just one item, but a whole spectrum of colours instead - pastels!
I already own a few pastel things but I've been loving a lot of items that are (given the current trend) popping up all over the Blogsphere at the moment. So, when I went shopping a few days ago there was one thing going through my mind...
..."MUST OWN MORE PASTELS! MUST OWN MORE PASTELS! MUST OWN MORE PASTELS!"
Every minty green and pale sherbet yellow I passed evoked a little 'ooooh' or 'aaaahh' in my head, some even prompted an out loud one, which must have been strange to nearby shoppers. I pretty much wanted all the pastels I saw and believe me when I tell you, there is no shortage of them in the shops right now!!
But....I reigned myself in, calmly reminded myself that I do not need more clothes and walked away with only four new things. Yes, four! Now, I appreciate this may not seem like an achievement to you but trust me, it could have been a lot worse, I could have looked like Rainbow Dash from My Little Pony threw up on me.

| Pastel Nail polishes 'GR501', 'YL701' & 'PK106' - The Face Shop |
Okay, so I did get three nail polishes which technically means I bought six items but the The Face Shop nail polishes are seriously cheap here, about $3 per polish, so I'm counting them as one. Surprisingly, they're good quality too, they're a breeze to apply and I find they don't chip very easily.
The Face Shop isn't in England as far as I know, but they do have stores in the U.S and some other countries. If you haven't tried any of their nail polishes then I'd definitely recommend you do, you can find your nearest store using their store locator.
Has anyone tried any of their other products? Would you recommend any of them?
Happy Friday everyone, I hope you have a great weekend!
You know I love me some pastels! I'll have one of each from the photos, please :) Never heard of The Face Shop but those colors are so pretty. I'll need to check them out.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!

I hadn't tried any of the Barry M nail paints until just a few weeks ago because I can't buy them here in Korea. I tried Berry I/C though and I LOVE it!! I wrote a post about it a little while back...
