Vinyl Max Glossss

2011-08-22T20:48:00.001+01:00

Ever wanted to go for full on red lips but didn't quite have the confidence? After opting for a lighter, less striking shade in the form of a hot pink, you decide you want more of a glossier, sheer finish?

Well then Rimmel's Vinyl Max Lip Gloss is perfect for you...

It's got a bit of everything thrown in for good measure...

Apply it lightly and you've got a high gloss, sheer, lip tint; add a bit more and sparkles of glitter start to show through, leaving a pigmented, glossy bright pink lip.

I tried shade 301 Addictive which I absolutely loved, and can't wait to see if the other shades are as good as this!

Another thing I must mention is the wand! Just look at it below compared with the standard (Estee Lauder Pure Colour Gloss) - it's huge!

Here are some swatches of the gorgeous gloss...

Thanks for stopping by! - Hope you like!

Fan-TAB-ulous... review

2011-08-16T20:03:00.027+01:00

Recently I have been trying out Nailene's new Ultra Adhesive Tabs.

These are an acetone and glue -free stick on accessory, perfect for giving yourself that gorgeous manicure with minimal fuss or mess.

And I have to say, that claim is absolutely correct they are easy to apply, and look like regular falsies without the added nail damage :)

Here they are out of the packet, and as you can see they are completely clear and so there will be no difference between the finished look, whether you use tabs or glue..

Here is a quick how-to using theirNail Studio Nails...

1. You will need: one pack of Nailene's nail studio nails - mine are Petite French 71249, a nail file (I am using the one included with the nails, but feel free to use any), tweezers, ultra gel tabs, & scissors/nail clippers.

2. Shape your nails into a comfortable size and buff the tops to remove any oils, dirt or ridges. Then grab your falsies and measure up the perfect size ready for application later on!

3. After you have filed your nails, you will need to decide which tab to apply. Choose the correct size by placing the tabs over your nail to see which has the best fit. one tab mus fit the majority of the nail but not touch the cuticle.

4. Once you've decided on which will fit best, peel it off gently with your tweezers and place it onto the nail, careful not to touch the cuticle.

The tabs come on a peel-off sheet, making them easy to apply straight to the nail. - no mess, no fuss - fabulous!

5. Using your scissors or nail clippers, cut off the excess of the tab that may be hanging over the edge of your nail.

Next you will need to press on your chosen nail, and voila!

You’re done. Perfect looking nails in an instant.

They look fabulous and they claim to last for upto 5 days! However I found that after 3 they did start to move around and bubble a little.

As you can also see in the picture below a sort of white line emerged around the edge of the nail.

Now its your turn! Stay tuned for a giveaway in which you'll have the chance to win one of 4 Nailene kits including a set of tabs and nails.

I.am.back

2011-08-14T14:48:00.001+01:00

Sorry sorry sorry. Yes I know it's been two whooole weeks. But boy they've been good'uns.

Friday night saw me getting back from two weeks of sun, sea and sand. Well the first was rain, sea and sand, which was then promptly followed by the second which was lovely.

I have to admit, I completely forgot about the blog for about a week whilst I was away - then the revelation that yes, I did have a blog, and that I have 16 followers, which may not even compare to the likes of others who have a-thousand-and-something peoples reading their words, who I didn't even line up scheduled posts for, filled me with some sort of regret. And so I set about trying to find some way to give something back.

Waheey! A giveaway is definitely in order. That summer specials one I promised you? Yes its coming. Scheduled in for sometime next week. Trust me - it'll be here.

*I promise!

But right now I will love you and leave you with a quick review of Nailene's new gel nail tabs... with a little extra surprise planted in there for good measure.

Summer Specials: Oh My Gosh

2011-07-21T22:35:00.002+01:00

Hi Everyone :)

Hope your all doing well! Seeing as I haven't posted properly in a while, I thought I'd hit off the summer with a new series - Summer Specials! Featuring all I have been loving this past month, what I'm loving in those to follow, and throwing in a couple of competitions along the way!

So first up, we have every make-up lover's summer essential, a bronzer...

Well maybe the essential would really be a bronzer and blusher, but this one's a little bit special as GOSH's Bronzing Shimmer Powder does both! It happily combines 5 shades of shimmer that together achieves a beautiful bronzed rosy glow.

At first glance, this looks so pretty! - and a little scary might I add, as that it's completely covered in glitter, and the thought of that transferring to your face is maybe a little daunting.

However it turns out to be just a covering and as soon as you rub on your brush, it flutters away like fairy dust to reveal a gorgeous pearlescent shimmer.

I must admit, that despite not really feeling some other GOSH products - I've actually been really impressed with this, it gives a subtle shimmer, brightens up the cheekbones, as well as doing the traditional bronzer job of adding that little bit of definition! It glistens beautifully in the sunlight without sparking outrageously like some of the cheaper blusher/bronzers that I have tried, and it just genuinley adds a sun-kissed look that all of us will be wishing for this summer.

Here is what GOSH say...

'The silky smooth, perfumer free powder glides on like a dream - use a big make-up brush and sweep over faces, define cheekbones, collarbones, shoulders and enhance cleavage. Choose from shades 001 Bronze (creates a deep, bronze glow) and 002 Pink (creates a soft, rosy glow)'

I have been trying out shade 002, so here are a couple of swatches...

Overall, I would say that this has to be a summer special... Not only does it act as a blusher adding warmth and a summery glow to your face, but enhances your golden tan!

GOSH's Bronzing Shimmer Powder gets a summer special rating of: 7/10

It retails for £8.17 and can be found at Superdrug

Topshop - Autumn / Winter 2011

2011-07-05T17:00:00.002+01:00

Here are is a quick peek at what TOPSHOP has in store for us this Autumn / Winter...

These two pictures are some of my favourites, the classic fur coat is back, and so are long, thick socks. Just shows you can be fashionable and comfortable!

There are definitely some key colours coming through next season, starting with the obvious browns and blacks, but flowing through to bright pinks and deep reds.



The shoes really amaze me in these shots, they really are something out of this world. They can really perk up an outfit, or lift it to the height of sophistication.



Ahhh, more fur! One reason I love love love winter, are the amazing textures and layers that you can wear and pair with anything.



And finally this image has to be my favourite! I love the fur collared blazer paired with the silk/chiffon polka duo, the knee length socks - and that red patent leather satchel! I must remind myself to pop in later this year, that bag looks fab!

Day 2 Night

2011-05-30T17:57:00.000+01:00

2 LASH LOOKS 1 MASCARA.

I've actually go to give it to them this time as Rimmels latest initiative really does them justice. Maybe a slight copy of MAC's Haute & Naughty Lash? But none the less, this is good. I would say that I do prefer MAC's packaging - the glitter maybe making the decision for me... But anyway, here is what Rimmel have to say about their new mascara:

"Rimmel introduces Glam’Eyes Day-2-Night, our first mascara that creates two dramatically different lash looks with just one brush. The secret is the magic double cap!

During the day, choose the Length Cap for ultra-long, gorgeously defined lashes – perfect for those flirtatious

encounters by the photocopier.

And for night time, choose the Volume Cap, and plump your lashes to up to 15 times their normal thickness, leaving them voluptuously lush-looking and ready to party.

Now you can customise your style and transform your look with the sweep of a brush. By day, by night, double the magic and get the London look."

Overall, this mascara is good, does what it says on the tube, but still has that cheap 'my lashes don't feel like lashes' kindof feel. It does flake through out the day, but it really does do itself justice with the double day-to-night wand. It takes up less space, and gives you something you wouldn't usually find in one mascara - length AND volume.

Get Bikini Ready! - 1

2011-05-26T12:24:00.000+01:00

Okay so summer is on it's way, and we all want to fit into our bikini right?!

This new slimmingcream is meant to be what we've all been waiting for. As much chocolate and no exercise as we want. (well, maybe we still need to watch what we eat, and do a little exercise) This new 'super-strengh, flab-fighting formula' delivers QuSome encapsulated caffeine molecules beneath surface cell layers, stimulating lipolysis of unsightly adipose 'padding' to free fatty acid chains.

So basically, this magic cream will reduce fat tissue in all areas of the body. Sounds good to me!

The cream had a good smell, which is strangely quite minty. But nice I must add :)

Studies taken over a 2-month period prove that this formula reduces fat, and makes you slimmer all over. Well, as long as you apply it all over that is..

The results are said to be truly 'radical'. So go on girls, get slim!

How To: Nail Foils

2011-05-24T12:00:00.004+01:00

In one of my latest posts, I included a quick picture of my nails and asked if you would like to see a 'how to' well here it is...

Many of you will have heard of Minx, Rebel or Nail Rock - famous for their fabulous nail foils and brilliant designs, well now Primark have jumped on the band wagon, and produced their take on the trend. They don't last as long, feel quite plastic-y but look amazing!

You will need: nail polish remover, nail file, hair dryer, scissors, cuticle stick/pusher and some nail foils!

1. Start by soaking your hands in warm water for around 5 minutes. Once your cuticles feel soft, push them back gently using your cuticle stick.

2. Buff the tops of your nail with the nail file, and then finish off by sweeping over them with some nail polish remover to remove grease and dust.

3. Grab your nail foils, and whip out the instructions. Give them a quick read, and then get to it!

4. Peel off the protective covering, and use this to decide which size would best fit your first nail.

5. Take your chosen nail foil size, and carefully apply it to your nail, ensuring that it fits snug under your cuticles.

6. Now grab your hair dryer and hold your nail under the heat until you feel it loosening up. Then get your cuticle stick and press down over the nail, removing any air bubbles, and making sure that the whole foil is stuck down.

7. Bend over the left over nail foil, and use your nail file to remove the excess.

8. File your nail using down wards strokes, and moving away from the nail.

9. The excess should drop off, and you should be left with gorgeous, foiled nails!

elf haul

2011-05-21T16:37:00.000+01:00

Better late than never I suppose! Here are some bits that I picked up a couple of months back.

1. e.l.f's new bamboo brush collection.

These brushes are priced at £5.50 each - bit more than usually expected from e.l.f, but none the less, they are worth it, as they are soft, don't malt like the regular e.l.f brushes, and apply product evenly.

Not entirely keen on the brown and leafy packaging, as by paying more I did expect the packaging to be more sophisticated. I actually prefer the simple studio brush packaging to this. But lets not judge the book by its cover..

Anyway, putting the packaging design failure to one side, and thinking about the actual purchase. I'm quite chuffed :) These brushes are great all rounders, and could probably make even the worst makeup look good.

The pay off of a product, I think, completely depends on the brushes/tools that you are using. So investing in some good brushes has to be one of the golden rules for any beauty junkie.

Overall, these are definitely worth the extra couple of pounds. They are in a completely new league compared to the standard e.l.f brushes, and definitely have the edge on the studio line, as you can easily see how much product is on the brush thanks to the clear bristles.

2. Liquid Eyeshadow - £1.50

Back to e.l.f's standard range, my next purchase is a liquid eyeshadow in 'Sultry Satin'

The idea was that this could quite easily dupe the famous MAC Bare Study Paint Pot, which, yes, it could. But if you can pay the extra - go with MAC.

Colour is lovely, but the cheap large specs of glitter and the liquid formulation make this so much harder to use.

It is also quite sheer, and doesn't give your eyeshadow that added glow which is done so elegantly by the paint pot.

The finish is nice, and it dries slowly, giving you time to apply your eyeshadow whilst it remains sticky. It does stop creasing to some extent, but again MAC wins, as the paint pot will last all day.

amie skincare

2011-04-16T20:31:00.002+01:00

Amie Skincare says that their gentle but effective formulas are your skin's best friend: bursting with natural plant extracts that work in complete harmony with your skin, they are ideal for all skin types, especially sensitive, oily and blemish-prone, and will help your skin look and feel absolutely gorgeous!

With nearly every Amie product containing 95% natural fruit and botanical ingredients, hand-picked to work in complete harmony with your skin, to bring out its natural radiance; the result is beautifully clean, soft, smooth and confident skin.

Amie's gentle eye make up remover has a lovely scent and removes all eye make up easily. I apply to a cotton pad, and then smooth over the eye area. It leaves the skin feeling fresh and really clean. Occasionally it does cause irritation when it enters the eye, and can leave the skin feeling sticky if a moisturizer is not applied afterwards.

Amie's morning clear facial wash was one of my favourites. After using this, my skin felt softer, cleaner and overall moisturized. It smells really good, and is perfect for either morning or night as it freshens and cleanses the skin whilst removing make-up

The morning dew moisturizer is mineral oil and parabens free. It feels light on the skin and dries matte, leaving it the perfect base on which to apply your makeup.

Amie's new leaf exfoliating polish is another of my faves, as it smells amazing, whilst gently removes excess oil and dirt. The mango and cocoa butter are great for softening the skin whilst the orange blossom and sweet almond tone.

And finally, this cooling clay facial mask is great for giving the skin a really deep clean. The treatment draws out deep rooted dirt and impurities whilst the clay soaks up excess oils. It cleared up any spots that may have been lurking under the skin and has prevented future blemishes.

Glam Eyes

2011-03-03T19:37:00.001+00:00

Rimmel London's Glam'Eyes Trios and Quads Eye Shadow

State of Grace #021

Rimmel Say: "The soft silken powder formula glides on smoothly and blends effortlessly, flawlessly reproducing the intense saturated colour. What's more, your perfect shade will last as long as you do, neither creasing nor fading, making it the perfect long wear eyeshadow with which to experiment a rainbow of colours! Stand out in the crowd."

I have yet to find a wearable look for these colours, as their intensity does not bode well for a day-to-day appearance. However, the soft, and powdery, easy to apply texture of the shadows really make up for it, as they are perfect for a night out.

The quad comes with a dual ended applicator, of which I never use, and end up throwing away, but I feel this one does deserve a mention as Rimmel have made the effort. Along with the usual large foam applicator that is usually included in most eyeshadow palettes, this one also has a thinner, stronger end which can be used to add the darker colours to your look.

The pigmentation is brilliant, but the colour pay-off not so. I found that the blues were brilliant, leaving the silver and purple well and truly behind, and rather faded despite what Rimmel seem to claim.

Find below swatches with and without my favourite primer - MAC's Paint Pot in Bare Study

Eye Shadows applied directly to skin

Eye shadows applied with primer - this I must say improves the colour pay-off and ultimately the staying power, leaving you with crease-free colour.

25 Hour Foundation!

2011-02-05T14:51:00.001+00:00

New from Rimmel London...

It's their new, 25 Hour Lasting Finish Foundation.

This is Rimmel's first transfer proof foundation that lasts a full 25 hours!

The formula has a 'revitalizing mineral complex' which is said to help re-energise overworked skin. Rimmel say that there should be no sign of 'makeup fatigue for a full 25 hours.

The foundation contains a moisturizing Aqua Primer so that skin feels hydrated and comfortable all day.

The foundation is quite sheer and dries quickly, which I find hard to blend, which means I use more foundation than I usually would.

However, once applied, its staying power is amazing and has a super light weight feel! - It lasts all day and does not gather, crease or go cakey.

January Favourites..

2011-02-02T11:06:00.000+00:00

Hollister Lip Gloss - £8 - in Wild Berry

This has quite a sticky consistency, similar to the MAC Dazzleglasses, which adds to its staying power. It tastes and smells amazing when on your lips, and although is a very simple colour, it looks amazing. Great for keeping in your handbag as it has a slanted squeeze applicator for easy applying.

Rimmel London Lash Accelerator Mascara - £8.99 - 001 Black

I mentioned this mascara in a post last year, and it has continued to work. (see my review here)

I am now on my 2nd tube, and wanting to go back for my 3rd. It's been recommended to friends and family, who are now also hooked! The mascara has just launched in 'Extra Black' - which I cannot wait to try!

Whilst we're on the subject of mascara's, here is my latest finding:

Rimmel London Max Bold Curve's Mascara - £6.99 - 001 Black

This mascara has an insanely huge brush! It's bristles are nicely defined so it separates out the lashes brilliantly - coating them well. This gives your lashes a brilliant curl, without the need for eyelash curlers - easy peasy.

e.l.f. - I am really loving e.l.f at the moment, and have just popped an order in for some of their new bamboo brushes. Do comment if you would like to see a haul/review or something of a similar effect.

What I've been loving...

2011-01-30T19:16:00.000+00:00

1. Burt's Bees - Replenishing Lip Balm with Pomegranate Oil

It's really kept my lips soft and smooth during these freeeezing winter months, and as it's priced at £3.69 - you can't go wrong.

2. Next - Just Pink

This has been my signature since Autumn last year, and no matter how often I wear this, I always get comments. I've been using it so much recently, I had to go back for the 100ml bottle!

3. MAC - Bare Study Paint Pot

Okay - so I admit I am a little late to be raving about this, but none the less - it really has impressed me. It makes the eye shadow stay put, it adds a lovely glow, and has a great consistency.

4. MAC - Retro-speck eye shadow

Just a simple, yellow-gold lustre. It is brilliantly pigmented and has a great sparkle. I like to pair it with FYF's radiant eye shadow in Moonbeam in the crease. It gives a really natural, but super shimmery eye.

5. Sexy Mother Pucker!

This is FAB! It really does plump up your lips, and does exactly what it says on the box. 'It's likely you'll notice a bit of a buzz..' - and they're not joking, your lips fizzle all day, and it's actually quite addictive!

6. My Nails!

These are amazing! They've already lasted 5 days, and no this is not some secret nail polish formula, nor Minx, Nail Rock or in fact Rebel Nails. This is Primark's own! Let me know if you would like a review..
