NOTD: Abstract Pink

Hello beautiful ladies!


This summer sun is really getting me in a better mood! :D

Today I wanned to show you that you can achieve cute nails without creating perfect shapes! And I'm not talking about water marble or splashing, just lines, strokes that overall can give your nails and extra something wihtout that much effort.

Here I used:

• Rimmel 291 "Urban Princess" as my base colour
• Flormar Supermatte M117 for the semi-roses underneath the silver (ring finger)
• Golden Rose 132 - the Silver
• Olivia (by Orkide) 350 a rosy glitter for the "branch-like" design (thumb, pointer, pinkie)
• Flormar Supermatte M112 - the Dark Purple (middle finger)
• Pink rhinestone from a wheel

Hope you like this!

Have a fabulous summer guys!

My 2 cents: Rimmel Wake me up concealer

Hello ladies!

Today I wanned to share with you my experience with the new concealer from Rimmel London. The "collection" if you can really call it that has 2 products: a foundation that I'm gonna buy in the future - because I have a few that I just opened - so I only picked up the second product the concealer.

The concealer comes in 2 shades: 010 and 030 and in the swatch I made in the store on my hand the difference isn't that obvious.

It retails at about 7$ so I wasn't expecting much from it but it said on the little tube that it's their first full coverage concealer and I decided to give it a try since I was out of concealer and in desperate need of a new one. 

Here are my thoughts and opinions on this product:

PROS

• Medium coverage
• Light weight formula
• It does indeed instantly brighten the under eye area
• Blended well it doesn't crease even if you don't set it with powder but it wear off very fast
• Set with powder doesn't look cakey and lasts longer
• I use it on my oily lids as well and doesn't crease even if it's not set with powder
• Can be used to cover blemishes but since it's liquid it's a medium coverage and you can't really build it up without looking cakey
• The 030 matches my skin very well
• Very affordable
• You get a pretty good amount of product too : 7ml / 0.23 fl.oz

CONS

• It only comes in 2 shades and unless you are (like me) very lucky to be a match to your skin you can't really use this concealer other than underneath your eyes in a very very thin coat but then where's the purpose in that (?!)
• If you are in a hurry and you pull out the doe-foot applicator too fast from the tube you're bound to ge a blob either on your clothes, floor or vanity
• It wears off pretty easy even if you set it with powder so you have to retouch it through out the day
• It's not full coverage as the company claims

OVERALL      8/10

I believe it's so far the only concealer that hasn't creased on my oily eyelids or my fine lines underneath the eyes if applied in a very thin coat and blended well but as far as coverage goes... it's not bad but it's not full coverage either. Unless I find something better in the meantime, I might purchase this again once I finish this one.

Hope you found this helpful!
