Rimmel Super Gel Polish

Rimmel Recently came out with these new polishes, the Super Gel Polish. Which claim to last up to 14 days, and well, we'll see about that.

How I applied it:

I used a base coat. The one I used is Maybelline's Dr. Rescue CC Nails Base coat which I've really been liking and there will be a review on that soon.

Then I applied the nail polish. I used the red that came in this set. The box suggested 2 coats and I think thats the right amount.

Then once that was all dry I applied the Gel Top Coat.

I'll update over the next 5 days on how its going. Mind you - I will be painting the house, so I will have to see how it lasts.

This is after 4 days, in my opinion, it did okay. Normally my nail polishes last 3 days. It chipped majorly on the thumb and the pinkie and once that happened I decided it was time to take it off. It could have lasted 5 days, but I've been doing a lot of household work and art work so, I guess you can say my hands have been busy. I'm wearing the nail polish again today (the gel polish) and so far it has lasted 3 days and theres no chips so it could have been because i have been working alot or the actual polish that came with it wasn't that great.

Would I buy it again?

Maybe the Gel Polish, but theres many others I haven't tried.

Rimmel Apocalips Review

I tried this product out a few months ago and never got around to reviewing it. I just found my review in my 'review book' and decided to, well, review it for you guys

The Rimmel Apocalips claims to be a Matte Lip Cream (Or Lip Velvet as it states on the packaging), and I'd say it definately isn't a completley matte finish, I'd say its more of a Satin finish, but drier.

Like most matte lip creams, it has a doe foot applicator, its kind of bent a bit though in the centre (Like the Jeffree Star Velour Lip Creams Applicator) and I think that makes the application much easier.

The pigmentation of this lip cream is pretty opaque. I quite like it. I've got mine in the shade Atomic Rose (I think. Not 100% Sure)

The scent of this lip cream compared to others is horrible. I can't even remember what it smells like as I didn't describe it in my book, and I'm too lazy to get up and get it.

My opinion:

Its a pretty good matte lip cream. Best drugstore one I've found on the market so far, but I'm yet to try the Maybelline ones. I want to try the Nyx Suede Lip Creams but they cost a fortune off Ebay.

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder Review

After hearing tons of people rave about this product, I decided I'd jump on the band wagon and try this powder out.

To be honest at first I didn't see what all the hype was about. I mean, its just a powder, whats so good about it? But its actually quite a good powder.

Its a really lightweight powder which is good for day wear.

Its super buildable but it can become cakey if you apply too much.

It doesn't crease or fade during the day.

Its perfect for travelling and using in your handbag as you can add a powder sponge in the lid and you're pretty much good to go and it doesn't take up much room.

Would I repurchase? Maybe. I much prefer loose powders so it depends.

September Favourites 2015

Feels like yesterday was the first of September. Next thing you know, we'll be celebrating new year!

As for my favourites this month, I don't have too many. Though I did buy some things this month, most of them I didn't end up liking. But heres what I did like...

This month I made my first MAC Purchase. I bought the Paint Pot in the shade Soft Ochre, and it is perfect! I love it. I use it as a primer before applying shadows and it stops creasing and fading during the day.

I've been getting hugely (Is that a word?) into highlighters this month and these 2 by Essence are my favorites. I also quite like the highlighter that came in the AC ON TOUR Palette and use that with more natural looks. 

These 2 nail polishes are the perfect way to start off Spring. Play Date by Essie is one of my favourite nail polishes I own and was the first Essie purchase I made. And Cheeky Chap, well I have a review coming shortly on it. Although it is a beautiful colour, it dissapointed me. Its in my favorites because of the shade.

Top 10 Drugstore Products

I'm a huge fan of Drugstore makeup. I think there are some really great products out there. And here are my top ten! In no particular order at all..

Australis Velourlips:
I'm normally not a huge fan of matte lips, at all. But I must admit these liquid lipsticks are great. Theres a huge colour selection from Purple, to your average Nudes and is perfect for any skin tone. I own the shade Hon-uh-Lulu (I think thats how its spelled?) and I'd love to possibly get more.

Nyx Butter Lipstick:
I love Nyx Lipsticks in general. They (from what I have swatched) are all fairly pigmented and creamy, and this one is no exception. As the name suggests, its a 'Butter' Lipstick so the payoff isn't fully opaque but can be made to be opaque from layering. The one shown in the image is Candy Buttons.

Rimmel Scandaleyes Kajal Pencil:
Boy do I love these eyeliners. They are so damn creamy that you need to put in no effort to put it on your eye as it just glides on there. Nude is a cult favourite and is the hardest to find and I can see why as it is a true nude without making your eyes look dead. I own Nude, Black and Deep Blue and I always get compliments while wearing the blue.

Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream:
These BB Creams are a cult favourite and are one of Maybelline's best sellers. This is my third tube of it and I love it. The shade isn't exactly perfect but its nothing a little moisturiser can't fix.

Nyx Single Eyeshadow:
Okay so I must admit with this one I've only ever swatched the one shown in the image. But I'm in love. The white is the most pigmented white I have found to date. And I'm hoping to do a tutorial with it soon.

Maybelline Great Lash; Lots of Lashes:
This is my favourite mascara by Maybelline and I've tried almost every one and I keep going back to this one. I have a review coming up soon for this mascara so I'm not going into full detail but lets just say that its great.

Chapstick:
I've been obsessed with these lately and I use them all the time. They are so moisturising and smell great, which is a bonus.

Rimmel Hide the Blemish Concealer:
I've bought this concealer about 4 times and its one of the best drugstore concealers I've ever used. It really does hide the blemish and redness.

Nyx Jumbo Eye Pencils:
Of course these would be in here, they are for sure a cult favourite. Every beauty fanatic owns one.

ColourPop SuperShock Shadows:
Okay, yes, I know. You can't buy these in store. But they are so affordable that they are considered drugstore in a way. They are pigmented and creamy and so easy to apply. I want them all to be quite honest.

Review: Rimmel Scandal Eyes Pencil Liner

I first found out about this product while trying to find a cheap, but excellent pale eyeliner to use on my waterline, and all results referred to this product. Rimmel's ScandalEyes Waterproof Kajal Pencil. 

This pencil is so freaking creamy its unbelievable. You don't even need to put much pressure to apply the product. Its also very soft. It is also long lasting and waterproof and comes off easily with makeup remover.

The range comes in a variety of colours and I want to collect them all.

#1 Empties 2015

New year, more shit to throw out. I've been collecting these items since January and decided its about time to chuck them in the bin. Lets see what I have...

Loreal Base Magique Primer: I quite liked this primer, as it was creamy. But I wouldn't pay full price for this.

Avene Blemish Lotion: It actually has a long name, I just forgot it and its already in the bin so I'm not getting it back out. But I didn't like this. I feel like it cause more acne than reduce it. I don't know. Maybe I was due for my monthlys (I'm on the pill so I don't get it) and thats what caused it but I really dont know.

Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream: Already bought a backup of this as I use it daily and love it.

Savvy Eyeliner: I hated this. The applicator was pointy and made the application streaky.

Essence Big Lashes: My favourite Essence mascara, will buy another for sure.

Maybelline Hyper Glossy Liquid Liner: I did like this, It just dried up because I didn't use it for a long time....I will buy another one.

Seche Vite: Dried up within 2 months :( Will not buy again.

Covergirl Flamed Out Mascara: I really liked this mascara, I will buy if it goes back on sale.

Face of Australia Lip Crayon in Macaron: This broke on me but I hardly use it and I can buy another one for real cheap anyway.

Rimmel Smokey Noir: I've had this for years and its just starting to lose its quality

What have you thrown out recently?

March Haul + Short Update

Hey Beauties,

Firstly lets get these updates out of the way. I have 3 things to tell you:

First off: My first youtube video has gone live! Check it out here! and make sure you subscribe!

Second of all: There will be no March Favourites this month due to me not really 'liking' anything. Only one or two things.

Third: I apologise for the lack of posting this month! I've been stressed, tired, depressed, and just over everything. Next month I am planning to post every single day - Atleast! Any blog post ideas?

Now lets get right into the haul!

I went to Target twice. The first time I picked up the Essence Tribal Summer Pigment in Copper Earth and holy crap, this pigment is amazing! I have a review of this coming in April, so I'm not going to go into too much detail, but I can say, for an essence product, it is highly pigmented! On the second trip there they had a bunch of their clearance items even cheaper. So I bought the I Love...Strawberries and Milkshake Hand Cream - This reminds me of the smell of some kind of medication. Its sweet and creamy, SO GOOD. I also bought the Loreal Infallible Pressed Eyeshadow *Colour name forgotten* after hearing Lauren Curtis rave about these and I totally agree, these are incredible. Review coming on Monday. And finally, Rimmel was, I think 30 or 40 percent off? I can't remember as this was almost 2 weeks ago. But I picked up the Rimmel Finishing Touch Glitter Top Coat as I had been eyeing this off for quite some time now, and I really love this and it does help your polish to last longer.

Mum went to Woolworths to do some grocery shopping, and she found these babies on clearance for $1 each. So Mum being Mum bought EVERY nail polish left. Don't blame her though, they will be good for gifts and stuff! I cannot remember each of their names though but I do know that the white one is White Out.

Did you get anything good this month?

Keep Smiling,

Rimmel Space Dust Review.

Item: Rimmel Space Dust Textured Nail Polish in Shade 'Moon Walker'
What it Claims to Do: This nail polish claims to be a textured nail polish.
Feeling/Smell: The texture of the nail polish once dry is quite rough, but not to the point where its too rough. The smell is your average nail polish scent.
Does it work? It certainly does work.
Overall: I quite liked this nail polish, I'm on day 3 of wearing it right now and it has only just begun to chip. I may say though, that if you are someone like me and likes touching textured things, the glitter does start to fade away.
Rating: I'd give this nail polish a 4/5 I like everything about it, apart from the fact that the glitter began to fade.

From what I know, you can get these nail polishes from selected Priceline Stores. They are hard to come across and theres only a few shades like with the Metal Rush collection. They retail for $6.95 from what I remember.

I was not paid or sponsered to review this item. All opinions are 100% honest and are my own. If you would like me to review your item, or if you want to request an item to be reviewed. Contact me at: galaxyykitten@gmail.com

Keep Smiling.
