Rimmel Vinyl Glossy Lip Liners

These Vinyl Gloss Lip Liners from Rimmel come in around 10 shades of different colours ranging from the lightest pink 001 Moreish to the darkest brown 008 Choccie.

This means that there is likely to be a shade to suit anyones preference. Now what is great about this is that you do not have to buy the liners separately

they come in a two pack which is an excellent choice if you ask me. The packaging could be said to be reasonably average, however I have no problem with packaging as I find that 

they have made it easier to open by adding a little piece of plastic near the top of the packaging to make it easy to open (Nothing worse than struggling to open something you just bought). 

As most Rimmel products this product is reasonably priced.

The lip liners apply like a gloss, hence the name gloss lip liners, however they are not sticky in the slightest. They add a shine to the lips unlike most liners

which go on as in a matte consistency. The shine from what I have noticed lasts for around 2-3 hours and once it dries it does actually turn into a matte colour, which also looks beautiful on the lips.

Consistency wise I would say that it is somewhat like the Revlon lip butters, in how it applies to the lips and the smoothness of it. However Rimmel has found a way in which to put it in pencil form making it easier to carry round in a handbag. To be honest, I will usually steer clear of browns as I don't really find them appealing however these look wonderful on the lips and I just find myself going back for more every time. If I had to pick a favourite I would say that Moreish, Starlet and Tasty would have to all be fighting the top spot!

When swatched on the hand they look lovely and glossy, which is exactly how they turn out on the lips, however this picture does not give the glossiness any justice, making the liners appear quite plain.

Whilst this does retail as a lip liner, due to its glossiness and consistency I don't find that it is a good product to put under a lipstick, I would say that if you were to use this with a lipstick, I would recommend 

putting a soft lipstick on with a similar shade to the lip liner and then applying it over the top of the lipstick, just to add a bit of shine, just as you would with any normal lipgloss

The only downside to this product would be that the product itself is quite soft, so you will find yourself having to sharpen this product   nearly after every application.

 

  Now Im not entirely sure how how easily available these are in stores, as I have heard that these have possibly been discontinued. Which is a shame to say the least! All in all, I would definitely repurchase these Vinyl Lip Liners as I think that they are the perfect little thing to just slip into your handbag and that the pigmentation on the darker shades is just amazing.

Maybelline 24HR Color Tattoo Eyeshadow

WOWWEEE it has been a fair while since I have been on here! 

I deeply deeply deeply apologise that I haven't been on here blogging away, but I have been quite swept away with a new semester at University and have hardly had anytime to even breath!

Now whilst I have been away however I haven't forgot in the slightest to keep trying out new products to bring to you guys who are all wondering if a product is worth the hype and the dosh.

The first thing that I have tried out and have definitely been loving is the Maybelline Color Tattoo eyeshadows! now I have only tried out two of these colors, yet I absolutely love them!

The retail price for these eyeshadows is around $12 - $15 here in Australia depending on which store you visit (some can even retail up to $17!) However I was lucky enough to pick these up for both $4 as the Bold Gold was for sale for that price and  if you can't tell by the picture above the Audacious Asphalt was in the wrong packaging so I was also able to do a sneaky and purchase this for the same price!

I find that these are really long lasting and have the most beautiful colour pay off I have ever seen from a drugstore brand and I would highly recommend these to anyone who is in the market for a new cream eyeshadow.

Maybelline has picked a great variety of colours to choose from so there is no real problem at all finding the perfect colour for you. Whilst I am happy with these little eyeshadows the only downside to them would be that I find that you really have to work the Audacious Asphalt one in with a brush or your finger otherwise it can come out a little to dark for my liking.

I have loved these two little beauties so much I think I may just have to go out and buy the tough as taupe one!

Hopefully now I can get back into the swing of things and continue to blog..On a regular occurrence :P

German Shepard Puppies

Hello Everyone,

This blog post today is going to be a tad different from all the other ones that I have posted previously and this is because as you can already tell. This is not a beauty or makeup blog. No it is about these adorable little bundles of fur.

A close friends of mine's dog recently had puppies, 9 beautiful little German Shepherds. Now this is a regular occurrence because they actually bred them.

Luckily for them but sadly for me they are already sold to beautiful lovely homes but that didn't stop me from falling in love with these two. Who refused to move from my lap and fell asleep there resulting in me having to sit in the one spot for more than an hour (which I didn't mind in the slightest) and have another two little puppies biting my fingers and one my shoe!

So as I had such an enjoyable day I thought I would share with you some of the many (and I mean many) photos that I took that day.

Viva the beautiful mummy

I will be visiting them again in a few weeks time before they reach 8 weeks old (when they leave to be with their new families) They are just so adorable and can't wait to go and visit them again!

Appelle Apothecary

Hello Everyone

Lately my parents have been going away on little nights away and staying in some pretty nice hotels, the one perk of this for me is that they always seem to bring me home the little lotions that they supply you with in the hotel rooms.

Now usually I will just use them and not really think much of the product or feel the need to have more of it. However a few weeks ago they stayed in the hotel The Grand Hotel, which is situated in Melbourne.  

That is when they came home with these goodies and I just couldn't get enough of them, I just wish they were bigger....or endless. I am so worried that they will run out. Especially the Vitamin E Skin Lotion that I use them sparingly. They are Appelles Apothecary, I actually then googled them and found that their only stores are far away from Melbourne, such as NSW. 

However if they are to run out I think I'm either going to have to make my way to NSW to get some more or have to take a deep breath and pay the $20 postage.  D:

These products just leave your skin feeling amazingly soft and your hair feeling renewed. I seriously can't wait till my parents go stay in that hotel again or better yet I buy a big bottle of this. Which is only around $10-$15

Dr Wheatgrass Antioxidant - Rich Skin Recovery Cream

Hey Guys!

I am very sorry that I have been neglectful of my blog for the past few weeks, but I have been flat out with University exams and then ill. However now I am free and healthy so I get my little fingers going and keep blogging for you all!

So I just realised that I was still yet to make a blog post on a few of my items that I showed in one of my videos of my Skin Care Routine, so this is why I thought I better start doing them, the blog posts for those items will be over the next few weeks.

The first product which I feel like I should tell you about is the Dr Wheatgrass Antioxidant - Rich Skin Recovery Cream. 

Now I went out and bought this after receiving a sample of this and saw that it worked wonders on my skin. On the back you will see that it doesn't specifically say that it is for pimples or blackheads, yet if you look online it points out that it will work wonderfully on them and it did not disappoint!
I saw a change in my skin over the next couple of days after first trying it out and it has definitely cleared up any pimples that were present.

I found that this product is quite hard to come by the place that I could only find it at was in a health shop which specifically sold natural ointments and moisturisers 

I find that this is great to use after I have showered, before I put my moisturiser on, because it is just after I have washed away all the dirt from the day. I also use this sometimes before putting my makeup on if I feel like I'm having a bad skin day.
