Rimmel Pro

Ok a fairly quick review tonight as I’m shattered from a day at the beach and a bit of a rave review at that. I absolutely love my new nail polish! It’s a Rimmel Lycra pro in ultra violet. I found the application process very quick, good brush (always love the Rimmel nail polish brushes there the perfect size and shape) and fairly quick drying, this coming from an extremely impatient person! And as I did my nails the night before a beach trip I thought it would be the perfect test time as it would have to contend with heat, sea and sand, not to mention the shower after a beach trip! And surprisingly it hasn’t chipped at all! I do have a base and top coat on but still has held on brilliantly, I took the picture below after I had put it through the mill a bit so you can see how well it's lasted. Big love for this varnish, think I’ll definitely be out buying some more colours – maybe a coral. . .

Oh ps. you can buy them at boots and there about five pounds :)

Best mascara ever?

OK so I find the topic of mascara to be a very interesting one, unlike most beauty products I think a lot of mascaras are good but very few actually work like there adverts suggest (most likely because there falsies but hey ho). So recently I have been using the smash box hyperlash and I think it may be the best I’ve ever used! It’s not too claggy on the lashes and gives my eyes a great "dolly" eyed look, or I like to think so hehe! Anyway it’s brilliant! And although I’m not an expert I would suggest it’s down to the wand which is more of a comb style than the big bushy ones in a lot of mascaras. That said it isn’t the cheapest on the market but if you have money to spend I would definitely recommend this one!

First Haul

Eeeek my first blogger haul, I'm very excited! Ok so I bought a pair of gorgeous shoes from AX-Paris, they're very classic, simple pointed stiletto, a must have staple. I also got earrings and a floral bracelet from forever 21. The earrings are gold with pastel colour stones which i think are great to add a bit of colour to an outfit (and the pastel colours are bang on trend for spring/summer 2012). I also picked up this great glitter nail varnish from Topshop, the official name is adrenalin. However my most exciting purchase is this six in a bag by cargo. It’s a solid black makeup bag (great for shoving in your handbag!) and contains 6 key pieces of makeup. The set includes a lip gloss, lip pencil, eyeliner, one base (concealer and foundation in one), cheek activator and a lash activator (AKA mascara). It also has a mirror and plenty of room for adding extras that you view as essential. And that’s all for this little haul, please comment and if anyone would like a review of any of the above let me know.
