Blogvember day 9: make up haul

In need of a new mascara I hit the shopping centre in Aylesbury today with my cousin. 

Superdrug has 3 for 2 across all cosmetics at the moment, which is very tempting!

I can't find the new lipstick I bought so I will update on that when I do locate it, whoops!

I have been using a mini, sample size Clinique lasting mascara and I love it, but for the moment I usually choose "drugstore" mascaras.

I was intrigued by a new L'Oreal mascara but the brush put me off. Too much short stubby rubber bristles, more like spikes, with 3/4 of the wand containing short spikes and then one side has a wave of longer spikes. I then knew it wasn't going to be worth the money.

I came across the Revlon mascara in blackened brown, it is called Lash Potion, with the aim of helping your lashes grow. Mine have a region of shorter lashes on each, creating a little gap. So, hopefully this choice will be beneficial.

Having now been wearing the Revlon Enamel nail polish in Fire Me Up since Monday with no chips to be seen despite the amount of washing up I do, I was impressed enough to buy a bright pink colour in the shade Bubbly.

Once I have worn the red nails for an entire week I will update on it's wear and try out the pink, I'm looking forward to trying out my new purchases :) 

Blogvember day 6: nails of the day

Today I am wearing a Revlon nail polish in the vibrant shade of All Fired Up. It really is a bold, primary red and I love it!

As you can see the writing on the bottle has worn off a bit, but my sister bought this in a store for just a pound, so I don't really mind if the bottle is a bit battered looking, as long as the polish is okay.

This red is blue based so it looks great if you happen to have pale fair skin as I do. The nail polish itself I found to be fairly runny but one careful sweep with the brush can cover most of the nail.

Revlon's All Fired Up has a glossy finish. I found no need to apply a top coat as it looks like there already is a shiny top coat.

As the name suggests, Revlon nail enamels feel pretty hard wearing and make your nails feel abut tougher than they actually are. I'd say they are long wearing but I do a lot of washing up so it does loosen after a while and as my nails grow.

This red siren nail polish has brighten my nails up and is quite a contrast to the dark plum colours I have been wearing to death recently.

It retails at £5.99.
