OPI Absolutely Alice Review

Back again for a super quick review of OPI Absolutely Alice!
I have hardly worn this polish because you have to apply 3-4 coats and I get bored just applying 2. It does look nice over the top of other polishes though.

It is basically a clear polish with loads of blue and gold glitter floating about in it. The bits of blue glitter are bigger than the gold but the gold gives it such a glamorous feel. I think it looks amazing in the bottle but you really have to work with it.

I really like this polish, I just think that it's a bit too much work and can just end up looking undone on it's own.

Au revoir!

Rimmel Vinyl Gloss Review

Hello all! Today I thought I would review the Rimmel Vinyl Gloss because I have been wondering if I should get this for a long time and I thought hey, why not. So here we are, let us begin.
I really wanted an easier way to wear red on my lips, so I gave the colour 'Be Dazzled' a shot. There was another colour which was a bright pink with bluey shimmer in it that I really liked, so I might pick that one up in the future. Anyway, I really like the colour it gives to my lips, it's very buildable so you can have just a nice sheen of colour or a more vibrant red look. I like the texture but it is a little sticky, but it's not a major flaw. The glitter in it is super pretty and isn't all in your face and doesn't take away from the colour.
The applicator doesn't pick up very much product though, which means you do have to keep dipping it back in to get a good amount. It's alright though because it means you really control how much you apply.
It's also sort of thick which gives it the 'vinyl' appearance. I feel kind of special wearing it and using actually, the tube is quite large and you feel all sort of grown-up applying it. It helps me look a little bit more put together and done up which is always a pro. It smells of strawberries as well.

Sorry about the swatch, not my greatest and yes, I do have hair on my hands haha.




So overall, I'm very glad I bought this lip gloss and will definitely try out different colours in the future!
Au revoir!

Makeup for School

Hey guys! As you may or may not know, I am a teenager, meaning I go to school, so I know a thing or two about what to wear on a daily basis face-wise. I thought I would share with you a few of my daily beauty products for school days!

Face

BB cream. Yes, I know, you're probably tired of me banging on about it, but it's the perfect school makeup product. I mean, they usually have SPF, they give you a nice amount of coverage and are fool-proof to apply. Having samples of them is great because you can just chuck them in your bag and reapply during the day. Woohoo!


Blush isn't necessary, but it's nice to add colour to your face on days where you don't have sport. I wouldn't suggest it everyday because you'll probably end up sweating it off, but it can be nice just as a pick me up on those mornings where you stayed up 'til 2am studying.

Eyes

An eyelash curler is a scary looking contraption, but can really do a lot for you, once you get the hang of it of course! Curling your lashes opens those tired eyes up and it's a good idea when you aren't wearing mascara.


Waterproof mascara. Such a good invention! When you're at school, there are so many opportunities for you to cry. You do badly on a test, you get dumped, you get hit in the head with a ball, the list goes on trust me! I like the Maybelline Full and Soft mascara because it's subtle and is good for everyday wear. I think that less is more when it comes to mascara, especially at school.

Lips

Aahh Baby Lips.. where would I be without you? At school there is no need to have lipstick or lip stain. Nothing out-there, sticky or glittery I think. A regular or tinted lip balm are just fine. Easy application without a mirror and moisturising. Perfecto!


So there you go! I hope you got a good idea of what makeup is good for school and that less if definitely more!
Au revoir!
Zoe.
