Makeup | Rimmel Apocalips

First of all I'm sorry for being a bit quiet on the blogging lately, I am blaming exams.

Anyways I fell for the hype again and bought this raved about lip lacquer in celestial which is a natural looking pink.

The consistency is great, these are opaque and creamy and feel a lot like the collection 2000 lip creams (which I also love).  These last around 4 hours which is fantastic for a drugstore lip product and the well on the applicator means you only need to dip it in the tube once or twice.

Overall I love these.  They are comfortable, good value and last for ages.

What do you think about Rimmel Apocalips (love a brand that makes puns!)

Kate moss matte lipsticks.

Kate moss collaborates with rimmel quite frequently and today i have two lipsticks to share with you from the matte range.
I have had these lipsticks for some time now and have only recently made up my mind about what to say about them.

#111 (kiss of life) is not only the only named lipstick of the collection but it is a lovely postbox red. If you are looking for a medium red which is budget friendly but still performs well, this is it.

#107 is one of the only shades i wore in Autumn/ Winter this year as it was bang on trend. #107 is a deep berry shade that leans more on the red side rather than the purple side. Because of this it is easy to wear and look fantastic on nearly every skin-tone. It was a staple in my makeup bag this season.

Wear time is not perfect but it does wear on average 3 hours on me without eating or drinking which is pretty good for a drugstore brand. They aren't fully matte but for the price i think it is worth buying if you want to dip your toes into the pool of matte lipsticks without breaking the bank.

Have you tried this? What did you think about it?

These cost £5.49 from boots, superdrug and some supermarkets.

August Empties

Hey everyone , it's been a long time since i put up a post for you guy's but school has been pretty hectic but it is now september and i have a few (finished) products to show you.

I have to say that i really enjoyed putting my used items in my little Benefit 'finding mr bright' box as it was a little incentive to finish products more quickly.

 First of all we have my l'oreal nude magique bb cream.  I don't really have an opinion yet as there obviously wasn't a lot of product.
Next was my l'oreal eyeliner which you can read about here.

Then we have my rimmel vinyl gloss which you can also read about over here.

I really loved the lift and luminate night cream (i even cut the top off so i could get all the product out as it did make my skin seem radiant) I might even but this next time i'm in boots to give you all a review on it 

Last of all we have no7 extreme length mascara and i used this as my bottom lash mascara and it wasn't clumpy and i will buy this once all my current mascaras are finished.

Rimmel Stay matte powder

Today's product is a staple in my collection , it is rimmel's stay matte pressed powder.  The packaging is quite travel friendly as it had a plastic lid and is also encased in plastic. 

Sorry , the writing does wear off after a while :(

I use a powder puff with this and apply to my t-zone (forehead, nose, chin) to eliminate any shine and minimize pores.

I have the shade 006 which i think is actually the darkest shade and it is perfect, i think darker skinned ladies may have a problem finding a shade to match but there is actually a transparent shade to cater for all skin tones.


It lasts for around 5 hours on me and my skin does look a lot better with it.


I would recommend this for anyone who has oily skin as it covers shine really well or just wants to set their foundation as it lasts quite long.




Rimmel Stay matte powder - Boots, superdrug (£3.99)

On wednesday's we wear pink !

Today I have a lovely pink nail polish to show you it is Rimmel's rose libertine. 

Formula wise, there isn't an awful lot to say.  It dried really quickly and it was opaque in two coats.

My (late) July favorites

Rimmel 3 in 1 Powder Blush

To be honest i wasn't expecting very much for a drugstore blush which i had paid £3.99 for so i can now say that i was extremely surprised when i used this.

Good things.....

Texture, pigmentation, colour,

Bad things........

Brush

what they say.....

3 shades in the same pan to achieve different looks. Use the shades altogether by sweeping the surface for a healthy glow. Personalise your shade

Packaging .....

It is a very, very small pan of blush with a little space for the useless brush and a (not scratch proof) clear lid with rimmel london printed in white near the bottom.

The blush.......

The shade i bought was 001 spring flower which is the lightest shade of all the 4 blushes. there really isn't a lot of space between them so it is quite hard to use separately.  i find where it lacks in size it definently makes up in pigmentation, i'd say one or two taps of the brush would be hunky-dory.

Rimmel stay glossy

Rimmel stay glossy lip gloss in 'all night long'


GOOD THINGS........ shiny and glossy and very pigmented :)
BAD THINGS........... Doesn't last very long :(


Packaging..........
The lip gloss comes in a 5.5ml clear  tube with a  large silver screw top handle. The handle is a good size to aid in the application of the gloss and it also has a  indented area for you to put your finger and thumb in the area, again  good for applying it as many lip glosses have very flimsy applicators.

The applicator is spongy, starting off at the top quite thick, going downwards into a flatter section at the tip.

What they claim......

Style. Shape. Shine. Stay Glossy delivers on all three with a fantastic new formula and applicator combo, custom-designed for fabulously luscious lips that last, and last, and last.Stay Glossy delivers on all three with a fantastic new formula and applicator combo, custom-designed for fabulously luscious lips that last, and last, and last

The lip gloss..........

I really like this gloss! I like the colour, it’s an intense maroon-ish red but it's actually quite wearable, and nicely glossy and plumping. It was £5.99 which I think is expensive for a Rimmel lip gloss but then I guess high street  make up is going up in price generally
