Rimmel London 60 Seconds Princess Pink - REVIEW!

Ladies and Gentlemen have you ever looked for the perfect nude pink nail polish but never found the colour you were looking for? I can now say that I have found it and it is probably the most beautiful soft pink I have ever seen in nail varnishes.

Rimmel London 60 Seconds Princess Pink nail polish is the most beautiful pink you will ever find and it dries in literally 60 seconds!
I absolutely adore this nail polish, it is possibly the most versatile pink I have used as it can be used a few different ways.

  1. Use it as a base cote for other brighter/darker nail polishes
  2. Apply it over the top of another colour (one coat) and you have instantly made a pastel polish
  3. Apply 3 coats for the perfect pastel nude pink
RATE: 6/10
PRICE: $7.95
COMMENT: I love this nail varnish but it isn't for the time poor, this pretty pink does need a few coats before the colour becomes soil.

March and April Favourites!

Hello Lovelies!

I thought I should do a favourites blog, but as I am really lazy right now I am going to combine each months favourite into a favourite I have been loving for these past two months!

Each product will be sorted into categories and will include it's AUS price as well as the shop/shops it can be purchased from.

Beauty:
  • L'Oreal Paris Nude Magique BB Powder (light & medium) - $26.95 (Priceline)
This powder is so soft and silky it honestly feels like there is nothing on your face! But, what I thought was amazing when I have been using this powder is that if you put it over the top of foundation as a pressed powder it really helps control the oils and stops your face from looking shiny ALL day!
  • Rimmel London Metal Rush (Gold Save the Queen & Royale Blue) - $7.95 (Priceline)
At the moment I have been wearing Royale Blue every day and although there has been a little chipping to the top of SOME of my nails it hasn't been very noticeable. The Metal Rush collection is really cool because depending on what direction your nails are in the colour looks completely different! For instance Royale Blue in one light can look green, purple or blue. But it can also look blue and green or blue and purple.
  • M.A.C Matchmaster SPF 15 Foundation (1.0) - $59.00 (M.A.C)
I have been using this foundation for a few months now and I have noticed that on its own it can make your skin look a little shiny and oily, but it does keep my face sunburn free.  This foundation works really well with my L'Oreal Paris Nude Magique BB Powder and as a result my face doesn't get oily and I am able to keep the same coverage all day.

Hair:
  • Joico K-PAK RECONSTRUCT Liquid Reconstructor - around $20
OH. MY. GOSH.
I have used the liquid reconstructor for just over a month now and I have noticed a massive improvement in my hair! The quality of my hair has improved immensely and all I have to do is after I towel dry my hair I spray a few spritz all over my hair and then let my hair finish air drying. When it comes to straightening my hair there is less breakage, my hair smells amazing and it feels so soft and smooth!!
  • REDKEN 5TH AVENUE NYC FOR MEN Silver Charge shampoo - $25.50 (Hairhouse Warehouse)
I have finally found a silver/purple shampoo that doesn't feel like it is completely drying up my fried hair!! The Redken Silver Charge silver shampoo with steel lock technology is AMAZING!! When I opened the bottle the first thing I noticed was how dark the shampoo was. This silver/purple shampoo is so pigmented that it really does tone your hair in 3 minutes. (My hair is platinum blond but I am slowly trying to get it to an almost white colour and this shampoo has dramatically changed my hair colour! I have no more yellow tones in my hair and they are taking longer and longer to come back!)

My hair is slowly starting to feel more and more normal and I think it has a great deal to do with this shampoo!

I know this isn't a big list of things but over the past two months I have tried many different products and these are the ones that I am really loving right now.

Rimmel London Metal Rush - Gold Save the Queen

Hello lovelies!
So today I was at Priceline checking out their 2 day (Tuesday 23rd of April to Wednesday 24th of April) 40% off cosmetics sale when I came across a new Rimmel London nail polish. Unlike the last nail polish I did a review on this colour is quite amazing! It's called Gold Save the Queen and is from the Metal Rush collection.

The Metal Rush collection consists of four colours: Gold Save the Queen, Purple Reign, Royale Blue and Pearly Queen. All of these colours are each to their own, but, I do think that they are very pretty and will look really nice over the colder months.


FYI this nail polish is almost a dupe for the O.P.I 007 Skyfall Collection GoldenEye colour. It's a little more metallic but for the price (normally valued at $7.95 is more than half the price of an average O.P.I polish) it is definatly a good buy.

Rimmel London 60 Seconds in Caramel Cupcake

Hey guys its Georgie here!
So today I wanted to talk to you all about Rimmel London's 60 Seconds nail polish in Caramel Cupcake. This colour isn't what I would call a 'normal' nude colour as it has more brown than pink in it, in fact I would call it more of a beige colour.

Now when I first tried it on my nails I had acrylic nails and this colour looked terrible, like it was the most disgusting colour I had ever put on my nails! But now that I have ripped my nails off for the wedding in a few weeks I thought I should protect the claws with something fairly plain for heading back to uni. This is where I thought I would try my Caramel Cupcake again!

I put on the first coat and let it dry for a little bit, but I wasn't too impressed with how it was looking, just because I am so pale the 'supposed to be' nude colour looked more like milk chocolate. Though I wasn't about to give up because I just need it to last a few weeks then I will be back in the nail parlour getting the glitz back on.

The point of my little rant is that this colour isn't as nice as I had hoped it would be but after applying 3-4 coats and trying not to think about it I have come to appreciate this colour because it is what it is. A basic colour that looks nude on you and doesn't stand out.

Time to Make-up
