Hey guys, got a review for you today, and it's from one of my favourite brands, I love so many of Rimmel's products, ( including their stay matte powder which I know many others love) and now their moisture renew lipstick is a firm favourite.
Unfortunately the shade I'm reviewing here is no longer sold, I bought this one on fragrance direct many many months ago but I will link 2 other similar shades from the range at the end of this post.
This lipstick glides on like a beauty! It's very opaque, I use about 2 layers for full colour, and it's just beautiful. As well as good coverage it has great staying power, this lasts at least 3 hours without eating or drinking.
Shades similar :
Rose Passion and
Diva Red
I need to buy some more of these now :)
~~ Do you own any shades of these? and what do you think of them :)
Hey guys, I've been meaning to post a review on this for a while, I don't know why its taken me so long, most of these pictures are from when I originally bought it! So onto the review....
There have been many reviews on the babylips, I know there was a massive hype on them and then as soon as they were available in the UK the trend seem to grew. Many reviews were positive but there were a few negative ones, I'm not sure why because I've seen nothing but great things from this little tube :) I think it may depend on which on you have, I do want to try out every single one now..
First of all as a regular lip balm, it. is. amazing. Whenever I put this on it doesn't seem to just put a 'layer' of moisture on the lips like a lot of other ones (Vaseline being one), it really hydrolysis them. - And those moisturised lips aren't temporary, my lips will stay soft for many many hours. On days when I have this to hand I top it up really often and my lips feel beautiifuull.
I chose cherry me because I wanted a lip balm with a slight hint of colour that I could just 'slap on' haha. As you can see from the swatch it's a very pretty pink, I would say that it
does show on the lips! I like to put this on when I have a pretty pink blusher on to make the look very girly :)
Overall I really love this lip Balm, It moisturises, adds colour, looks good and is not expensive! I must own them all now.....

Have you tried any of the Babylips? What ones have you used and would you recommend?
*apologises for lack of posts*
I just have to say, I love this eyeliner, it's better than any liquid eyeliner i've ever used.
Extreme 24hr felt tip liner by collection 2000
It's a felt tip liner which I think is amazing because it allows you to create such precise lines without being messy! (Which I always am with very liquid-y eyeliners)
I cannot do flicks to save my life but with this I can which is what made me buy it in the first place!
I've had mine for a long time and it hasn't dried up, plus the nib is still as pointy as when I first bought it.
This shows how precise you can make the lines, I must say I was being too delicate on my hand and it would normally be more opaque on your eyes, I added one more swipe to show you here:
I also have to mention the staying power. Oh how good it is. I applied this on my eyes very early one morning, had a full day at college, then went to work (where I run around a lot) then when I took it off at 11 that evening it was still intact, no smudges or creasing.
I would definitely recommend this eyeliner, especially if you're on a budget, it's only £2.99 in superdrug!
Now to get the other colours..
~ sorry for the lack of posts!! Do you own this eyeliner? What is your favourite eyeliner?
I recently bought this on an offer along with the maybelline falsies mascara, and unlike most people I'm more of an eyes person than lips because I think you can be a bit more creative with eyes, however lately a few lip products have been sneaking into my makeup collection...
I really like this colour (coral tonic) I think it's very summery, and it's not too bright, bright lipsticks do not suit me! It's a pinky coral but appears slightly darker than in the tube, I really like the packaging, the way the coloured lid just 'snaps' into place.
I'd say the staying power is okay, depending on eating/drinking, at least 2 hours.
Overall I think it's a great summer lip product and I will be wearing it a lot :)
~~what's your favourite summer lip product? Do you own any colour sensational lipsticks?
So I'm all finished for summer now (minus work) and going to have a lot of free time, last year all I did was paint my nails different patterns every week and became obsessed! I don't have as much time anymore so will hopefully paint them more again for a while.
I'm new to essie and these are my second and third buys, they are both really pretty pinks! The lighter shade is "we're in this together" and the darker shade is "cascade cool". (P.S the sun made the varnish go a bit 'bitty' on my nails so please excuse!)
We're in this together is a baby pink with a hint of shimmer in and is veryy pretty.
Cascade cool is a slightly darker pink and has no shimmer, this colour particularly was very opaque and you could just use 1 coat, I used 2 coats of each colour here.
~~What's your favourite essie colour?
This face mask is an aloe Vera deep cleansing mud mask and is designed to really clean your pores - and it does! I definitely notice a difference in my skin when I use it, which is about once a week, if you use it in the bath it's even better because the steam opens up your pores. I find my skin looks generally a bit clearer and I have less breakouts when I use this, it is also pretty moisturising. I put a thin layer on for 10/15 minutes and then wash off with warm water, my skin always feels great after.
I definitely recommend this face mask, it's in a tube so lasts a long time, you definitely get your money's worth out of it as its only £2.59 in superdrug. They also do a few other different types for different purposes so go have a look :)
