Knowing that I would no longer have all of the shops on my doorstep after I moved, I spent the final week in Basingstoke wandering around the shops. I had to pick up some make-up and a cute London bag from high street shop Accessorize. Accessorize has launched a beauty line in its stores, and the packaging is quite cute for some of the items.
I opted for a selection of eyeshadows in natural shades, and this came in a cute London-print box.
The second item that I picked up is a shimmery nail polish in a bronze-gold colour called 'Treasure'. I love the multi-faceted little pots, and there's so many colours and even glittery shades to choose from.
Thirdly, I had to buy this London bag. Accessorize had quite a bit of different shades of polish, lipsticks, lip gloss, blushers, eye shadows, and other make-up items. I loved the packaging. For more products, visit their online shop here: http://uk.accessorize.com/uk/beauty/all-make-up
Last but not least, a few weeks previously, I discovered a Model's Own kiosk of make-up and nail polish, designed like a giant nail polish jar, in Festival Place in Basingstoke. I assumed it was a limited-time pop-up shop, but the staff said that it was permanent and it's been in place for almost two months now.
I have tried Model's Own products before and found them to be okay, so I opted to buy some more nail polish on their offer. I selected a couple metallic shades (rose gold and a turquoise) and yellow, light purple, and peach. The metallic shades don't have much staying power and needed topping-up after a day, and I had to use a few coats of paint for the paler shades.
