Rimmel mini haul

 Hey dolls, 

A couple weeks ago I was watching one of Estée's (Essie Button) videos, and she used one of the apocalips lip lacquers from Rimmel. I'd heard about them before but wasn't sure about them until I saw her put one on and I was like, "I need to buy these". I popped into tesco to do the weekly shop (as you do) and remembered they had a rimmel stand there. And they had a 3 for 2 deal going on (happy days). Their stock was pretty low that I only managed to get 2 of the colours I wanted, so I picked up a mascara (you can never have too many mascaras).

 SCANDALEYES mascara
 £7




I'm not gonna lie I wasn't impressed with this mascara when I first tried it on. I was really expecting my lashes to POP! And I couldn't really tell that I was wearing anything. But I don't give up that easy lol, I'm gonna work with this product.


ps I love the brush, its MASSIVE and I'm all about that.


APOCALIPS lip lacquer
 £6 each

This product reminds me of paint. Its so pigmented its unreal.You only need a tiny amount to fully cover your lips, kinda like the OCC lip tars.

Its longevity is really good even after eating and drinking.

If you use too much it kinda bleeds, and smudges outside of the lip line, so less is definitely more with these.

My only problem with this product is that it smells like watermelon, like really artificial watermelon and I'm not a massive watermelon fan (how many times can I say watermelon? haha), that's the main downside. Other than that its a fantastic product.

 Apocaliptic
Deep Hot Pink

 Stellar
Coral-y pink shade

AVON Lip Stix

Hey dolls,




Color Trend Lip Stix - £1.99
This product is genius. I love them.
They're light weight and wont take up excess room in your handbag or make up bag and very good for on the go.

They come in 5 colours and I think that EVERYONE can rock at least ONE colour. 
My favourite has to be Think Fast Pink, cos you know I'm embracing them bright lips especially with spring coming, its running a little late this year in London.

They are very rich in colour and not drying on the lips at all. I also like the fact that they aren't glossy, they have a slight sheen but its not over the top like some lipsticks can be.
