Rimmel 60 seconds nail polish review

Hey lovelies

This post is about a new polish I picked up recently. As you can tell from the title it's from rimmel in there 60 seconds line and the colour is called 415 instyle coral.
I just love the colour.



It's a bright coral/peachy colour however it's not in your face bright.
On camera it translate alot lighter and pinker then in person.



But the colour is more like the picture below.



One of my favourite things about rimmel nail polishes are there brushes it makes it so much easier to apply the nail polish. Just one sweep and it's practically done. The brush itself is more squared and flat so it fits the nail bed better hence the easy application.


Another thing I like is how fast it dries although the name would suggest it dries in 60 seconds I wouldn't agree with that statement but still it dried faster than a normal nail polish.

When applying the first coat it was smooth but it did streak a little so I ended up applying two coats. The second coat doesn't dry as fast as the first coat as I found out when I gouged a chucked of it trying to grab a bobby pin.

I also noticed that even without a top coat the nail polish it self had a shiny effect so you could skip top coat if you were in a rush. Even a few days later when it started chipping I still had a shine to my nails.

Overall I think this is a good polish and at £3.69 they are affordable too. I can't wait to get more summery colours.

You can buy Rimmel products from boots, superdrug in the uk
They also have there own site www.rimmellondon.com

Review Clarins Skin Illusion spf 10

Hey Guys and Girlies !

A couple of months back (just before christmas) I was running out of my foundation which was the clinique anti-blemish solutions liquid make up. Which I loved but I found it heavy feeling on my face. So I went in search for a new foundation and I found it, my new love.


Clarins Skin Illusion spf 10
First things first this foundation will cost you around about £24, which isn't that pricey compared to other high end foundations (for example chanel foundations can cost anywere from £31 - £44).
Next is what drew me to the foundation which was the packaging. Its a beautiful glass bottle with a gold looking lid. Bonus it comes with a pump so you have control over how much product is dispensed. I must confess I'm a sucka for expensive looking packaging. I think it looks so classy. Having said that the lid gets easy marked with finger prints.
Clarins describe this foundation as a hydrating foundation with a texture that feels as refreshing as a spritz of spring water. A formula that smoothes, evens and enhances the complexion, and delivers a spectacular "barely there" finish.
Would I agree ? I would have to say yes. It gives me a natural dewy complexion. While still covering my redness and it does all this without it feeling heavy on my skin. (I sometimes even forget if im wearing it or not) This foundation I would say has light to medium coverage.

My skin is normal - combination - oily. More normal in the winter and oiler in the summer. If you are on the more oily side I have seen complaints about how long it last on the skin. However I haven't had this problem. But I do use powder to set it.
This foundation also contains SPF 10 which people say when using flash photography can cause the skin to look paler which I haven't expierenced as I haven't tried to take photos with it on my skin. But as I was taking picture in the bottle it does appear to do this.
The colour I have is 104 cream and I am Nc20 in mac oh and I almost forgot to metion the smell (please note im not the best of smells) but I think it has a  floral scent which you can smell while applying it but while wearing it I can't.
Overall I think this is a great foundation for every day use.

Hope you liked my little ramble feel free to comment
