Today I am going to be talking about another Rimmel product that has been very impressive: the Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajals as they are officially known! I have seen these on multiple occasions in the drugstore but never ended up getting one so am very happy that I finally bought one the other day. There are seven colours available- black, silver, bright blue, purple, bronze, nude and taupe. I chose to get the colour 'Nude' because I was very intrigued after hearing about the use of nude eyeliner to brighten your eyes.

For my first opinion, I really like this product and the colour is great for reducing redness and consequently making your eyes seem much more bright and awake. I tried to get some pictures of this on my waterline; however, it is a difficult colour to show so in this way so have just swatched it!

This eyeliner has a good consistency and is very smooth and easy to apply; the colour pay off of this colour is great and it really makes a difference when used on the waterline. In terms of being waterproof, this eyeliner is certainly much more longwearing than a standard eyeliner and does stay on the waterline fairly well. It does fade slightly but this is to be expected somewhat even with a waterproof product when used on the waterline. I do however think that it would be very longwearing on the upper lashline. The range of colours that Rimmel have brought out are also fantastic and have definately hit on some colours that other affordable brands have missed in the past. After trying this colour, I would like to try black which, if it follows the same consistency, would be a great staple and perhaps taupe, which looks gorgeous.

Overall, I would recommend trying out these because they are excellent for the price and there is a nice variety of colour options. If you have thought about trying a nude eyeliner, this would be a good place to start! These are available at all drugstores, although some only have a small range of the colours and are priced at £3.99. Boots currently have these on offer at 3 for 2 also!

Rimmel Apocalips Review

Today's post is going to be about a product that has had a lot of hype recently in the beauty world- the Rimmel Apocalips lip lacquers! I have wanted to try these for a while now and finally got around to picking one up. There are 8 shades including a lovely pink and a staple red; however, I got the nude one which is fittingly named 'Nude Eclipse'. Now, I'm not really a nude lips kind of person because they tend to wash my pale skin out but this is really lovely.

The formula is quite unique in that it applies like a creamy gloss but dries somewhat. This means that it does have a stronger staying power than a standard lip gloss. However, I found that I did have to reapply this on multiple occasions as it does wear away and become too dry. In terms of colour, this one is very opaque and provides more of the colour expected of a lipstick. The only major downside I found was the smell which I don't particularly like. My one smells very strange and artificial but I am not sure if this is something that is a running occurence or if it is just mine. Nonetheless, I would definately recommend this colour specifically if you are in the market for a good nude!

'Nude Eclipse'

Overall, I really like this product and would quite like to try some of the other colours, especially the red. These are sold at all drugstores now but if you are interested in purchasing one, they are currently on offer in Boots for £5.99 and are also on 3 for 2!
