Essie after school boy blazer dupe!




Collection work the colour nail polish £1.99 - boots.co.uk

I found this whilst browsing the shelves in boots the other day and it reminded me of essie after school boy blazer but obviously at a tiny fraction of the price. For 1.99 I found this polish to be easy to apply and quick drying, the pictures are taken after applying two coats, the colour pay off was impressive for such a dark colour. Autumn winter colour switch up as I usually stick to a dark burgundy (Barry m red black) to be precise.

#NOTD Barry M Blueberry



 Barry M - Blueberry 306 - £2.99

So, iv'e decided to attempt to blog again, im attempting to post at least once a week but hopefully more, but we'll see. :| i know im a terrible blogger i'm just so lazy.
Anyway, i got this colour in april and yet iv'e never used it since tonight and actually i really like it, i didn't think i would as blue isn't really a colour i would go for. 
This is just one coat, after taking the photos i applied another coat which wasn't necessarily needed but i just prefer two coats, i like to know my nail is fully polished!


pigmentation - 9/10 - one coat is fine if your in a rush
drying time - 9/10 - a few minutes and its done which is good considering the thickness
application - 8/10 - standard brush, easy to apply.

overall - 9/10

Revlon Really Red

 
Revlon Really Red - Boots £7.49

Hey Guysss, so i recently picked this lipstick up from Boots whilst browsing for a perfect red lipstick due to failing at choosing a 'really' red lipstick when previously purchasing a lipstick of the red variety. (blaaa)  In other words, i have never really found the perfect true red. One of the failed red colours i purchased before and hated is the Kate moss first collection lipstick in number 12, this was too orangey and bright for my skin i felt. Soo, after trying this Revlon Matte lipstick out for an 8 hour shift at work what i found was the following...

Pigmentation: 10/10 - One swipe application.
Wearing time: 10/10 - It literally lasted me all day, i didn't NEED to touch up.
Feel: This lipstick is a matte lipstick so obviously has no moisture whatsoever, however, i found that it didn't dry out my lips, instead just felt as though i wasn't wearing anything.
Overall: Perfect red lipstick, it's not too bright, not too dark, long lasting, inexpensive and highly pigmented. I will 100% be trying out more of this matte collection. 

I will post a full face (:|) photo of me wearing this lipstick at some point but today i was slightly hungover and therefore unable to do so, but this little cut out mouth does the colour no justice (against my yellow skin :\ hmm.)

Purple lipstick

Boot's 17 lipstick in 'new black' i like it more than the kate moss rimmel purple because it's smooth on the lips, the rimmel one goes all kinds of shades unless you pile it on and it can look a bit patchy. 'New Black' is smooth, unscented and it stays on your lips for about 2 hours before you need to touch it up. The only bad thing about it is that it stains your lips bright pink! A bit of make up remover get's it off straight away though.
