Something New: 3ina

A few months ago I made a trip to London with my boyfriend, Will, and whilst in Covent Garden I saw a store I had never heard of, 3ina. Walking into the store, I loved it. It's really clean-cut, everything is white and black and super organised and I wish I had a photo to show what I mean but it was lush!



Anyway I did pick up two chubby lipsticks, but the pink one I had went through the washing machine!! :( But moving on, I love the deep red colour I have, it stays on really nicely, super smooth, lovely stuff.


The product I use the most though is the blush! Really pigmented and applies nicely, matte, so there is no shimmer, I would actually preferred it to have a slight shimmer to it, but I can cope with this! The prices are really really reasonable! £7.95 for the chubby sticks which comes in a variety of 10 colours, I have shade 104, (I think) annoyingly it doesn't say the shade on the packaging, and the shades don't seem to match up to the right colour image on the website! Also, the blusher isn't on the website either.

I'm sorry to say that it doesn't look like you can buy online yet! But I would definitely recommend going in store if you get the chance! They have so many products and I am just waiting to get my hands on some more!!

Are there any brands you have stumbled upon and loving right now?

The beauty of NYX


My local boots store has just got it's first ever NYX counter, now, I am a newbie to NYX, I have known about them for a long time of course, anyone who has watched beauty videos on youtube will have. But it's not something I have ever purchased, I am not a big online shopper, I don't hunt the internet for new things, I just buy what is right there in front of me. So as soon as I heard there was to be a NYX counter I had to jump right on board the bandwagon.

Within a few days of opening I made my first ever purchase and I was pleasantly surprised by the prices, I anticipated paying a lot more than I did that day. I feel like for the high quality of product, now I have a had around a month to try them before writing this post, they are cheaper than other brands would charge.

First, the lip product. I have been dying to pick up the Liquid Suede Cream Lipstick in Sandstorm, £6.50, ever since I saw Zoella share it in a video. The colour is a pretty true brown once on, with the slightest hint of pink if any! With a wand application I was unsure at first but the product is of high quality and only one coat is needed! It quickly dries to give you that Matte lip look and I haven't found it to be at all drying.

The other colour I picked up in the Liquid Suede was Vintage, and I love this one just as much, that perfect darker colour for the oncoming Autumn Winter. I tend to wear a lipliner with this colour purely because it is a lot darker but they don't really need it, it's just personal preference.

I also picked up the Matte Lipstick in MLS19 - Euro Trash, also £6.50! I have to say I have only reached for this a couple of times! But again is a really good product!

Euro Trash  - Sandstorm - Vintage

I have been on the hunt for a good primer lately, and so thought I'd try the Pore Filler, £11.00, I really like it, it is very silicone-y and makes your face super smooth, I think I would use it just concentrated in those areas you need it though as it doesn't go very far and it's not the largest product either. 

I have also picked up the Colour Correcting Liquid Primer in Green, £9.00, I am unsure how I feel about this one, I don't feel it makes that much difference to any redness, but it is a good primer, my makeup always lasts a long time so it does have it's pro's! 

Are there any NYX Products you swear by?
