Revlon Red Review + Swatches

As you might have seen in one of my previous posts, I recently purchased my first red lipstick. Today, on this sunny good friday I thought it would be the perfect day to rock this red lippy! 

let me just say, if you want to get a red lipstick you might want to buy a red lipliner ! I would say it is essential. i have yet to go look for one but when i do i'll be sure to tell you about it (if it's good)! 

this is my first revlon lipstick and it won't be my last ! it is so pigmented. emphasis on the so because trust me it is seriously pigmented. it stays on your lips even after eating or drinking. fab huh ? 

revlon red is the perfect red. it's bright and... red. just look at the pictures! they are true to what the lipstick looks like in real life. 

i'm so glad that i have finally started wearing other lipsticks than my regular nude lipsticks ( mac's politely pink or myth).

what is your favourite bright/daring lipstick ? share ! i want to buy more.

update: this lipstick is friggin amazing you guys. it stayed on even after eating falafels and samboussek jibnes  and a snog the red lips were still intact! crazy awesome. 

Boots Haul !

What do you do when there's a 3 for 2 promotion going on at Boots ? That's a rhetorical question isn't it ? Haha ! I didn't buy anything too extravagant but these are three little gems I am looking forward to using 

Left to right : 

• Rimmel's Peppermint looks like such a gorgeous pastel mint colour I cannot wait to put on my nails (especially on my toes ! it will look great with my fuchsia heels!). I love this range of nail polish from Rimmel because of the brush. It makes application so much easier ! 
• Revlon Red's lipstick is my first red lipstick. I never thought it would be something that would suit me but you know what it's not too bad ! I think you will never know if it suits you unless you try it on. Which is what I did. And look, I bought it ! It has a great staying power even after drinking and eating it was still on my lips. 
• Models Own Beetle Juice is one of those wowza colours ! It does smell really strong though. Spray paint scent. But I can get over that ! 

TOTAL = 12.43pounds

I love Boots 3 for 2... They should do it more often !

Nutrasome Thickening Shampoo And Serum by Revlon

Hey girlies,

I have been suffering from hair loss recently... Not sure what it is, if it's because I have a very oily scalp or because I have thin hair or if i'm stressed out ! But I was determined to find a solution to my problem and fast ! So off I went to my local Boots to purchase this Nutrasome thickening shampoo and serum. Beforehand, I had read a few reviews which convinced me to buy this.

Claims: The unique formulation in Nutrasome Thickening Shampoo contains TriOxyl Complex which glides through the hair without damaging hair strands. It is designed to penetrate down to the root of each hair strand, increasing its flexible strength and works on the outside to help hair feel thicker, look thicker and be thicker. 

This sounds like an amazing product, don't you think ? I mean if you saw this product in-stores and just read the description and the claims you would fall for it. Just like I did. I should have known this was just some rubbish talk! The Shampoo and the Serum worked pretty well during the first week. My hair had a lot more volume and it wasn't dropping as much which really reassured me. As I came into my second week of using this product, I felt my hair wasn't as strong as it was in the last few days... Imagine how annoyed I was. So what can I say about this product ? It works but only for a week. Definitely not what you can call a "good" product. So although the description was well written this is definitely not something I could recommend for someone suffering from hair loss. 

But thank god I found a whole new hair routine with great products and I will do a whole other post on that so keep your eyes peeled ;)
