Conceal, don't feel

If there was an ever an opportunity to quote from Frozen...

 

 My skin has been going through a blemish and under eye circle debacle of late and sometimes I just wish there was some sort of Harry Potter-esque spell I could use to make them go away. The next best thing being the concealers that have almost been tricking people into thinking I have good skin. Almost.

 

Rimmel Wake Me Up in Ivory

Described as having a 'radiant glow' this isn't really something you want to be using on any blemishes but for concealing  under the eyes this definitely does the job. It also lasts well during the day without creasing which I find to be an essential on my combination oily skin.

 

Collection Lasting Perfection in Fair

Everyone and their pencil case's pencil's sharpener has talked about this concealer so I'll keep it to a minimum. It does exactly what it says on the tin tube, is long lasting, high coverage and, on my skin, doesn't cake.

 

Bourjois Healthy Mix in Light Radiance

 This particular concealer works well both under the eyes and on blemishes. I use this on slightly better skin days and, as it is slightly thicker, I find that it can crease after a few hours if applied liberally. This just means I end up using less whilst trying to perfect the Lisa Eldridge concealing  technique dab, dab...

 

Do you use any of these concealers?

NOTD #10 || Orange Your Life by Rimmel

Hello everyone, hope you're all well and enjoying your weekend! Today I thought I would talk to you about a nail polish I can only describe as a neon, 'can't stop looking at me' wonder. Rather cheesy name aside, this polish is one I have rediscovered this summer and really been loving. You may (or most probably may not) remember a post I did a few weeks ago featuring a peachy colour from the same range which lasted a whopping seven days chip-free! However this shade, although I prefer the colour, chipped and flaked within the first two days and was more gloopy to apply. This doesn't overly concern me as it takes very little time to dry, so top ups were easy!

Have you tried anything from this range?

NOTD #8 || Tangy Tangerine by Rimmel

 Hello everyone, hope you're all well! Todays nails feature peachy Tangy Tangerine #705 from the Rimmel 'I Heart Lasting Finish Collection', and well, let's just say, I may have found a new love. Now, it's not as if I have never worn a Rimmel polish before, just not in a while. And boy I'm wondering why I ever stopped! When I say this lasted seven days chip free, I really mean it! That is more than my beloved Topshop polishes! The brush is wide, allowing easy application, and the formulation dries quickly, which meant the three coats needed for an opaque colour took next to know time! I already have a few in my collection but I'll definitely be picking up some more next time I'm in Boots.

 

Which polishes have you been loving so far this Summer? Have you tried any from this collection?

A Love For Rimmel Nail Varnishes

From left:  Coralicious, Orange Your Life, Tangy Tangerine, Sunshine, Green Grass and Pear Drop

 

Needless to say I love Rimmel. Doesn't everybody? However their nail varnishes just don't get enough attention. I particularly love their Lasting Finish collection, as you can see above.

 

 

 

The quality of these nail polishes is way beyond the price. With a good topcoat they have lasted 6 days chip free on my nails.

 

 

 

Have you tried any of these colours? Which finish do you prefer?
