Review | Rimmel's Apocalips

Hello Hello

After my week long search I finally got my hands on one of Rimmel's new Apocolips, however I am so disappointed with it :(

Apocalips in Nude Eclipse

Following reading so many raves I was just desperate to get my hands on it, last night I decided to give it its premier as I hit a few bars with my friends, but much to my disappointment, the  product didn't have a long life span, I had to keep applying at least every half an hour, and when I did wear of I was left with horrible looking dry lips, with hints of flaky nudeness. 

Now I am not one to normally suffer from dry lips, sometimes occasionally in the summer, so some heavy application of carmex this morning has saved my lips, but I had such high hopes for this product, and I had planned to try out other shades, but I just cannot justify spending more money on this. 

What did you think of Rimmels Apocolips?

Until Next Time

Haul: Liz Earle, Rimmel, Barry M....

Hello Hello

Last night there was a student shopping night in the local shopping center and due to low funds I swore to myself that I was not going to attend. However after a lot of 'umms' and 'ahhs' my friends decided they wanted to go, and obviously I was dragged along with them. I am not one to be filled with will power and often cannot resist buying things if they are in front of me, especially if they are on offer. So when my friends swiftly walked past Topshop I was hopeful that I would be able to enjoy the night, without having spent a penny. However I was then dragged into Superdrug, a Superdrug with 10% off, and all hell broke lose, I spent a decent amount of money on things that I probably could live without.

The Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish with the muslin cloths. Rimmel fix and perfect primer and BB cream in Medium, as well as finally getting my hands on an Apocalips. I bought it in Nude Eclipse however I will definitely be stocking up on a few more. I also purchased the Barry M all in one base coat and top coat, which I was a bit weary of but I really wanted the two Gelly Hi Shine Nail Paints, and it was 3 for 2 so couldn't resist. I bought the nail paints in Blueberry and Prickly Pear. I know it isn't in my photograph, but I also purchased the Real Techniques Shading brush, which I cannot wait to use with my new MUA eye palettes, (Heaven and Earth, and Undressed). 

I think for me I may have to save up for another week or so before I purchase anything else, lets just hope I can resist the shops which are unfortunately just across the road. 

Until Next Time

FOTD | Day to Night..

Hello Hello

Just thought I'd share with you my make up for the day which I am going to keep on with a little touch up to go out for dinner tonight...

For my base I have used YSL touche eclat foundation, with m.a.c. bronzing powder in refined golden to contour, mac blusher in pinch 'o' peach and mac highlighter in lightyear which I picked up in America and haven't been able to find anywhere in the UK which is really upsetting. 

I have YSL eyebrow pencil in number 2, and I actually went for no eyeshadow on my eyes (which is unusual for me) but just a sweep over the eyelid with collection 2000 waterproof liquid liner in black and a pair of my favourite lashes which are the eyelure 101. I love these eye lashes, I literally wear these everyday.

On my lips I have premiered my new lipstick, it's one of the new colours in the sleek true colour lipstick in russian roulette. I actually did a review on this lipstick here.

Let me know what you think of this look. 

Ps. Apologies I haven't fixed my hair yet. 

Until Next Time

Sleek True Colour Lipstick

Hello Hello

I still haven't managed to get my hands on an Apocalips yet, still on the hunt. However yesterday I was out and about and decided to check out the new colours in the Sleek make up True Colour Lipstick Collection. 

I only bought 1 colour which was Russian Roulette. 

This is a matte colour and looks gorgeous on. This lasted on for about 2 hours, but then once it wore off it left a nice stain.

My only problem with this lip colour is it left my lips extremely dry, so I think next time I wear, I will definitely put a balm underneath. 

These lipsticks are great value at £4.99 each and I most definitely will be checking out the other colours in the very near future.

Until Next Time

Just a thought...

Hello Hello

I went into town to day to try and get my hands on the new Apocalips from Rimmel and to my dismay they were all sold out. I went to five different stockists and just couldn't get my hands on one. Will have to try again tomorrow, and will upload a view once I get my hands on them. 

While I was out and about, I went to check out the new 'Naked Basics' palette from Urban Decay. I actually really like the colours in this palette, but they're gorgeous and matte, and I have definitely put this on my wishlist for my birthday.

I also went to spend my YSL voucher I received but I couldn't cope with the sales assistant, I appeared to know more about the products, and when I requested the prices of some of the things I was looking at, she just seemed to take wild guesses, so I was impressed and chose to leave.

All in all my shopping day was a bit of a let down. Better luck next time as they say.

Until Next Time
