Tuesday Review vol. 2 // Rimmel Salon Pro Ultra Violet

Rimmel London // Salon Pro // Ultra Violet 312 - RRP £4.49

Hand Chain // Boohoo // No longer on website.

Sorry, "Tuesday Review" isn't the catchiest title but there isn't a day that starts with 'R' so this will have to do!

So i got this nail varnish as a birthday present and haven't really worn it yet so i though it would be a good opportunity to review it, enjoy!

The first thing i need to mention is how much i love this colour! i usually go for the darker colours i think they suit my skin tone a bit more but this really took me by surprise as it is such a lovely shade of purple!

Secondly i should mention is the extremely easy application! With a lot of their recent nail products it seems that Rimmel have found the perfect brush. It's a great rounded shape so you can get close to the cuticle without getting it everywhere (which is a problem i have) and it only takes a couple of strokes of the brush for you to get a great even layer of varnish and it dries very quickly which means you can apply the next layer without having to wait around. 

Also it only takes a couple of layers to get the desired shade, unlike with other nail products where a minimum of 5 is needed.

Finally, *insert deep powerful voice here* the "staying power!".  I've had this on for a couple of days now and it's been fab! Usually my nail varnish would have chipped a lot within the first day but i am impressed and hope that it stays to this standard through out the week!

Overall i really love this nail varnish and will defiantly be investing in some more shades from the Salon Pro range and would defiantly recommend you to look into it!

(Hope i haven't rambled on, sorry)

If you write they will come! (Hopefully)

Honestly I'm so angry with myself for starting this blog then dropping it after a couple of posts! This is what I did with my "blog"!

So I am determined to do at least a post a week! Whether it be a review, a weekly summery or maybe something cool I've come across.

So if anyone is reading this little post some ideas would be greatly appreciated as I really do want to keep at this blog!
Wish me luck!!!

Tuesday Review Vol. 1 // Maybelline Super Stay 24 Bold Matte

Maybelline Super Stay 24 Bold Matte // Hot Brown 845 - £8.99

So it seems everyone is trying out nude lipsticks at the moment and i was really looking forward to trying the new L'Oréal Paris Colour Riche which is recently come out but every place i went to had sold out of the colour i thought would suit me best. As a compromise i decided to try out the Maybelline Super Stay Bold Matte and i thought i'd do a review on it.

So to begin with i'll start with its "staying power"... As it is a fairly natural colour it was hard to tell when it had totally faded but it did stay on for a good couple of hours before i had to re-apply. 

The colour i wasn't to sure about (as i was hoping to go more pinky) but i actually like it and it gives my lips a nice tint without looking like i have foundation all over my lips! 

One of the biggest problems i have with this product has to be how dry and chapped it makes my lips look (especially now were coming into the colder months) So i have to be really careful in how much i apply.

The other problem i have is the way it feels on my lips, even when i have applied the Conditioning Balm. It just made them feel very chapped and sticky. So to over come this i put Rosy Lips Vaseline on top just to make it feel a bit nicer and it also gives it a nice pinky tint and shine (which i know is defeating the object of the Matte look)

Overall i do like the colour of this product but hate the way it feels so i don't think i would recommend it especially for the price that it is.

I hope you liked my first review and please let me know if i missed anything or you think i wrote to much. I would really appreciate it!

Arcade Fire // Reflektor

After the massive success of their last album Arcade Fire are finally back with a new single! I do regret to say that i went off them for a while (mainly because nearly everyone was listening to them, petty, i know) but was reintroduced via the track The Suburbs (Continued), which is beautiful. And now i'm so in love with their new song but happens to be over 7 minutes long(!!!) Which can be a problem for someone with a very short attention span (i.e me). Although it might not be for everyone, the trippy video is definitely worth a watch, see below. 

Feedback on this post would be much appreciated

New Start. New Blog

I know that the start of A-levels isn't exactly the best time to start a new blog but there is always going to be something... So despite this i have decided to give it a go (again...) 

I haven't really decided what this blog is going to be about (maybe make-up reviews, clothes, day-to-day life etc) but hopefully i will commit to making regular posts.
