Rimmel Apocalips Matte Lip Velvet

Rimmel Apocalips Matte Lip Velvet - £6.49

Gothic Makeup (Rimmel Mini Haul)

I've shared with you guys previously the beauty bargains you can get in Poundland. I know not the most glamorous or high-end of places, but they do sell known beauty/makeup brands for £1. And those are the kinds of bargains I am here for. This time round I got some makeup bits form Rimmel and some false eyelashes (which were the kind of quality you'd expect for £1).

Make up Monday: Demi Lovato Heart Attack Look 2

Hey dolls,

I hope everyone has had a great bank holiday.

Here is the second look I'm replicating from the Demi Lovato Heart Attack video. You can see look 1 here.

This was the softer look of the two, she looked so angelic, that may have been in large part to the white background behind her. She just looked so natural and pretty.

Make up Monday: Demi Lovato Heart Attack Look 1

Hey guys and dolls,

For those of you that live in London I hope you're enjoying the beaut weather today.

I'm a huge Demi Lovato fan and when she released the video for Heart Attack I just could not stop looking at the make up looks from the video. And I'd always intended to re-create it on myself. I saw the video the other day and it reminded me to get off my butt and get a make up look done :)

She had two very different looks in the video, the one I'm gonna do today is the rock chick - very heavy dark smokey eyes, soft cheeks and lips.

Makeup Monday: Sleek Garden of Eden make up look

Hey guys and dolls,

I was swatching my new products and decided to do a quick look using the new Garden Of Eden palette from Sleek. You can see my recent haul here.

Make up Monday: Katy Perry Dark Horse (look 2)

Hey guys and dolls,

Here is the second look inspired by Katy Perry's Dark Horse music video. I loved the whole Egyptian theme throughout the video, and the make up looks were just gorgeous. This has to be my favourite out of the 2 looks I've done. You can see the first look I did here.

Make up Monday: Katy Perry Dark Horse (look 1)

Hey guys and dolls,

I fell in love with the song 'Dark Horse' from the moment I heard it and was so excited when Katy Perry released the video for it. As you could imagine the moment I watched the video my MUA antennas went up and I just had to recreate the looks. 

So here is my take on one of the looks from the video. 

LATE July Favourites

Hey dolls,

I think this is my first ever favourites post, I randomly felt like doing one. So here goes nothing.

I've only got a few items to show. but hopefully you see something that tickles your fancy and may go out and try. I will post a link to the original post of each item where applicable. Might give you the opportunity to see posts of mine that you've missed :)

 Christian Lacroix Rouge EDP - £11.99

I've been wearing this perfume a lot recently. It's great for the daytime and evening.

Argan oil - £5.99

I jumped on the Argan oil train last year and haven't gotten off. This stuff is so good for your hair.

Garnier Moisture Match -Goodbye Dry 50ml

£5.99

This is such a good facial moisturiser and I luckily haven't had any bad reactions to it. Like I tend to with quite a few moisturisers cos I have really sensitive skin.

 Finella bag - £9.99

I haven't spoken about this handbag on my blog yet. Its a new purchase from Avon and I LOVE IT! Its the perfect sized handbag and I've been wanting a tan bag for a while now. Unfortunately I got this bag in the clearance sale so its not available anymore.

Sleek Au Naturel palette - £6.49

This has been my go to palette for make up. I've been using it to create a daytime smokey eye with a bold red lip.

Ladies Shaded Scarf - £3
Another purchase that I haven't mentioned on my blog, I got this the same time as the Finella bag I mentioned. I have been a bit obsessed with scarves recently, I did a post on that here.

Barry M Gelly hi shine nail paints - £3.99

I have been obsessed with these polishes as of late. And 9 out of 10 times I've chosen one of these polishes to paint my nails with in the last month or so.

Tibu earring and necklace set - £3.50

I'm not sure if this set is still available, but I've been wearing this set every time I've gone somewhere. Its just so cute and I feel all sorts of sophisticated when I wear them. They dress up any outfit.

Rimmel apocalips lip lacquer in Big Bang - £6

I LOVE THIS!!!!!! I havent worn anything else on my lips for ages. Its like the perfect red. Its not matte but its not shiny either, its that happy medium.

Avon spectra lash - £10

My go to mascara, it makes my lashes so long and full. I have so many mascaras that I had forgotten about this one. But on a whim I picked it up and remembered just why I'd bought it. Such a good purchase. I never reviewed this product when I got it, so I will do a mini one now.

"Three lash looks in one tube. Twist up to customise you level of volume. Clump-proof and flake-proof" 

I always use it on the 3rd setting cos I'm all about the full lashes. But I love the fact that you have the 3 different settings to suit any mood/look you're going for. On the 3rd setting a lot of mascara can come out on the wand, I usually just scrape it off and carry on with my application.

"It all started with a Big Bang..." - Rimmel Apocalips

Hey dolls,

APOCALIPS lip lacquer

 BIG BANG

We've all heard about and tried the Rimmel Apocalips lip lacquers. I bought a couple a while back, you can see that post here. Unfortunately they didn't have Big Bang in stock at the time. 

A couple weeks back I went shopping at superdrug and they had a 3 for 2 deal going on. That's always dangerous (for me and my bank account) when I'm around that kind of deal. But I finally got to add this to my collection, along with some other well known gems that I'll be posting about soon.

Its such a great red, which I'm all about this year. I love that it has a satin finish, cos Im not a fan of overly glossy red lips.

What's your favourite Apocalips shade?

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.

Deep Hot Pink

 Stellar

Coral-y pink shade

Was feeling rather Patriotic :D

OK I was going through my blackberry the other day and found a bunch of pictures of nails of the day that I had done, when my nails were all nice and not broken. So what I may do is over the next few days is just upload them. :)

I was feeling really patriotic over the Easter hols, let me give you the rather lame backstory haha

So basically I came downstairs and we've had the Jamaica national anthem hanging on the wall since we moved to this house (erm like 17 years) and I dunno why it caught my attention and inspired me to paint my nails. One signature nail with the flag and the rest matching colours :) And props to me cos I painted my nails in the dark, well with the light off of my TV :D

So here is the first of quite a few NOTD...

As you can tell I did this free hand :)

Star Gazer Nail polishes (not sure what the colours are, to describe them they are Golden Yellow and Emerald Green) and Rimmel - Black Out

I hope you enjoyed this post.
