Models Own 50% off Purchase#

I dont know if anyone will read this but here it goes anyway.
So basically, ive been buying quite a lot of things lately, seeing as it is the summer holidays I thought i may aswell spend my money now rather than later, as its back to college in a couple of weeks time, which means I won't have as much time to go shopping as I do in the holidays. Anyway, I've recently bought some nailvarnish off http://www.modelsownit.com/, i was a bit wary at first as i've never bought anything from this website, but after reading some good reviews about it, i decided to give it a go, and lucky enough for me, the models own 50% sale was on, so i decided to buy 4 nail varnishes :)



left to right: Purple Grey, Emerald City, Beths Blue and Nude Beige.
I had ordered these on a Sunday and I recieved them on the Friday, which wasn't 2-3 Days like the website had said, but I understood that It may take a bit longer to arrive because of the amount of people purchasing items on that day. Every day since I originally purchased them, I had been waiting for the post lady to come, and when she finally arrived with a black box in hand, I nearly flew down the stairs I was that excited, and maybe nail polish isn't a thing most people get excited about, but i have quite a big obsession with it and I couldn't wait to try at least one of them on.
    As i opened the box, i was quite pleased to see purple tissue paper around it all, (which makes a change from some places who just shove the product into the box). Plus they were all put into a bubble wrap casing aswell, which shows that models own definitely do care about the quality their products arrive in.



































So far i've only had a chance to try one colour of Nailvarnish on, which is the Beths Blue, with a basecoat and top coat of Barry M's nail hardener.
As you can see from these photographs, Beths Blue is an amazing colour and depending on the lighting, it can look a really light blue or it can look how it does in the pictures.
  I was surprised that it only really needed one thick coat, to get it a solid colour, which then completely covers your nail lines, (as a lot of other products tend to need 5 coats on to get it to a solid colour,) and it also didn't really take that long to dry, as it wasn't overly gloopy.

 All that I can now really say is that, i honestly think Models Own will be one of my newest obsessions, with the range of colours and products they offer, i would reccomend them to anyone and everyone :)

So who else has tried Models Own products and what do you all think of them?

#2 favourite film of the week*

I've just generally realised, that I am addicted to watching films. Its like im always trying to find the next best movie to obsess over. As a lot of the time i never really mention how great some of the recent and past films ive watched are, I thought now would be a good time to share my insight. first film up is:

(The girl with the dragon tattoo)














As i had found out after i'd actually bought it, Its all in swedish, which means the speech is purely in subtitles, which actually doesnt really affect the viewing of the film, as most of the time you forget the subtitles are actually there. It is an adaption of the novel by Stieg Larsson, which unfortunately so far I haven't read, but hopefully will.
The main plot of the film, is about a man called Mikael Blomkvist, who is a journalist who has been sentenced to three months in jail basically because of a corrupt industrialist, anyway then there is also a girl called Lisbeth Salander, who is a 24 year old computer hacker. Before Mikael's jail sentence starts he goes to work for a man, who has asked him to look into a case involving a missing girl, as the plot thickens Lisbeth, (who has been hacking into Mikaels computer for a while now), joins him in the quest to find out what had happened to the missing girl (who has been missing for a lot of years).

It obviously doesnt just end there, but I dont really want to give much away to people who haven't yet seen it. One thing i would say is that it isnt for the younger generation, as it has quite a few scenes with sexual content and violence, but all around it is an amazingly interesting film to watch and definitely worth the money to buy, if your into all of that thriller, mystery stuff. What i now know is that the sequel to it called, The girl who played with fire, is now out in UK cinemas, and probably cinemas in a lot of other places too. I am totally excited about it and cannot wait until it comes out on dvd :)

Well now I do feel better for expressing my love of this film, somewhere other than in my own head.
Film Rating: 9/10 xD

I do have to mention that not all of my blogging is going to be like this, but i just felt that it was important for me to introduce people to how great this film actually is, and I do know that its not to everyones tastes, but in my mind it really is an amazinggggg movie to watch.

So to those people who have watched it, what do you guys think of this film? do you love it? do you hate it? etc :)
