Rimmel Goodies
I am not sure if your are like me, but Christmas costs me a small fortune....every time I pop shopping I end up buying some bits for me as well....oops!
As Superdrug has 3 for 2 on cosmetics, I decided to get some bits on a recent Christmas shopping trip.
I got a Rimmel Stay Glossy Lip Gloss, a Rimmel Lycra Pro nail varnish and Collection 2000 - 2 in 1 nail strengthener and hardener.
I decided to get the Rimmel Lycra Pro in Night Flight which is like a rich aubergine shade.
I have to say I quite like Rimmel nail varnishes and especially the Lycra Pro. My shade is from the Fall collection which you can see here. I find the brush is very easy too use and after three coats the finish is great! I also find that they last well before they start to chip. I just love this colour, its dark but has a lovely purple tone to it.
I also got myself a Rimmel stay glossy lip gloss in My Eternity, these are suppose to have Shine Extend which should make them last for up to 6 hours.
I love the gloss on and have been wearing it this morning, its non sticky and non scented so perfect! Only problem is that it doesn't have great staying power on my lips. After having a couple of drinks and eating its is pretty much off.
That hasn't put me off it though, I love the colour so I will be using it!
I also picked up a nail strengthener as I have recently been trying to grow my nails after being a nail biter for years. So I'll let you know how I get on with my Collection 2000 one.
Have you been buying yourself some Christmas treats?

L on Charlotte's Obsessions Tuesday Treat
L was very lucky this week to be featured over on Charlotte's Obsessions Tuesday Treat. Why not pop on over for a look!
NOTD - Rimmel Strawberry Fizz
So just a quick one really.
Been seeing a few girls posting pale pink nails - I really wanted to give it a go for winter. Seriously need a pick me up at the moment. How depressing is it?? - weather sucks and works is just slightly mental!
Anyway, its shameful to say but I don't own a pale pink nail varnish I actually like. I've got a few Nails Inc that were freebies - but their just not right.
So I raided the step-daughters nail polish collection (its actually bigger than mine - how did that happen?????)
And this is what I found,
Its Rimmel Fruity Scented Lasting Finish polish in Strawberry Fizz - what a mouth full.
I really like the colour as its not too pastel and a bit more bright. I had to give it a third coat as it still looked a bit streaky after two. After that I got a nice opaque finish. I actually find Rimmel Polishes easy to apply as the brush is a little wider than normal.
And the extra little treat - it smells of strawberry. Well ok I'm not quite sure its a very strawberry smell - its a very fake strawberry smell. Ok I know its only a nail polish, so what was I really expecting but you know, you always get an idea in your head.
Oh and it only smells once dry - just smells like regular nail polish otherwise!
