My first encounter with FashionistA makeup was at the launch of The Saturdays’ magnetic nail polish. I knew FashionistA were the brand that made the polish but I had no idea they also had a whole cosmetics range. At the event we were able to pick out our own palette. The palettes work a bit like MAC, but they are square and instead of being magnetic, they just slot into place. It actually makes it much easier. I picked out 3 eyeshadows and one blusher. 
The colours are really impressive and are all very pigmented – I particularly LOVE golden dragon, which is a baked eye shadow. The mix of gold and green is absolutely gorgeous! 
So then I went to ‘The Only Way Is Blogging’ which was sponsored by Fashionista and VIVO cosmetics. I got to learn a bit more about FashionistA here and ended up leaving with yet ANOTHER palette. I am very lucky! This time we got to choose between an eye shadow or a blush palette. I chose the blush as I don’t have many blushers.  
I really like ‘butterscotch’ as it’s very natural and I can see myself wearing it a lot. ‘Blushing’ is amazing – I’ll find the guts to wear this at some point! 

So what do you think? Would you like to put one of these palettes together? Will you be checking out the FashionistA range? You can find FashionistA at Superdrug!

I was really excited when I heard that The Saturdays would be launching a nail polish… and then to hear it would be a magnetic polish AND it would be affordable, amazing! 
I desperately wanted to see for myself what a magnetic polish is really like and how The Saturdays would make it their own. 
The collection, which will be launched by Fashionista in Superdrug stores has 5 colours. Mollie’s ‘Purple Me Up’, Una’s ‘Ego Green’, Vanessa’s ‘Forever is Blue’, Rochelle’s ‘All Fired Up Red’ and Frankie’s ‘Notorious Silver’.
The polishes are £6 each, which is so reasonable for such a special nail product. You have to buy the magnet separate, which is £3, but you can use it for all the polishes. 
So this is how it works… You apply the first coat of polish….
I was really surprised at how thick it applies. You then apply the second coat, and straight away whilst it’s still wet, you hover the magnet over the nail quickly and smoothly to create the desired effect. 
I am someone who likes to experiment with nail art and I have completely fallen in love with magnetic nail polish. It’s so easy and looks so impressive! A lot of designer brands are starting to bring out magnetic polishes, so this is a great option that anyone can buy. 
They will be launched in selected Superdrug stores from 26th October and I think they are going to do extremely well! 
I got a quick snap with the girls and Zoe, which was nice. I was seriously impressed that I wasn’t shorter than them, as they were all wearing  heels and I was in flats! 
So what do you think of The Saturdays nail polish? Will you be rushing to Superdrug to buy it?

ps. I was on the GRAZIA website this week for the Fashion Blog Love Round-up! Yay!
