Hi everyone!Today I will be doing a review on a new nail polish I have from the new Rimmel London Rita Ora Collection that just recently came out. This collection really attracted my attention especially this colour, because I've been looking for a perfect mint nail polish for a long time and when I saw it, I instantly thought this is the one.
You can get this nail polish anywhere where Rimmel London products are sold, it's priced at £3.69 at Boots and Superdrug if you live in the UK. First of all, I'm in love with their packaging, I think it's absolutely adorable with the touch of the cartoon picture of Rita Ora on the lid ,which makes the bottle stands out even more from the crowd.
Next, let's talk about the formula of this nail polish! Honestly, I don't think this has the best formula, it is great but not amazing. The brush is quite big, so it is excellent to use for people who have big and long nails like me and also it definitely applies smoothly, however I found that sometimes it brought a little dusts to the brush when applying it which created a little bumps to my nails, and that was something I wasn't so sure about. Moreover, this nail polish applies with a thin coat which gives you freedom to build up to different opacity, for me, I applied it with 2 coats. Now, when I'm writing this blog, it has been 1 week since I painted them, and I'm super impressed with the amount of time they've stayed on my nails only with the tiniest chips ever! I used the Bourjois base coat and the Maybelline Top Coat.
Moving onto the colour of this nail polish! This colour is called ' Breakfast in Bed ' which I think it's a cool and unique name. Like I said, this is a STUNNING mint green. Mint greens along with other pastel colours are really trendy right now and they're my favourite colours as well, because of the girliness I see in them and how they emphasis spring extremely well. From the photo of this colour on my nails above kind of makes it look like it's blue, as it does contain a blue background to it. So obviously, there will be two different opinions on whether it's blue or green.
Finally, as a conclusion to this, I recommend this nail polish to you, it is overall a wonderful nail polish for such a cheap price at the drugstore, if you're still not so sure, go for this gorgeous colour that will make your nails look divine! Or just go for other colours they have in the collection. Of course, I definitely will be trying out some of the other nail polish they have in their collection and do reviews on them in the future!
Today, I'm going to do a review on the Maybelline Baby Lips as they are one of the very popular products Maybelline have brought out, and also one of mine! So, before I get started, I'm going to talk just a little about the history of those awesomeness in the tube!
Maybelline Baby Lips were first launched in Japan 2010 and were soon brought into the US as they were super well loved by the beauty lovers. However, there were no plans for them to come into the UK until the drugstores here in the UK have realised how eager people want them to come here, and how popular they really are. As a result of this, they were finally launched in the UK in August 2013, which is actually not very long ago, and personally, I'm extremely glad that they were brought into here.
First of all, they are priced at £2.99 at drugstores which is very affordable but you can get them for a cheaper price at places like ASDA if you live in the UK.
Packaging wise, they're very satisfying and very adorable! They've cooperated the colour really well to fit with the names of the lips balms and to contrast the logo with the background. This then have definitely made them to attract the buyers's attention like how they attracted me, and also made them to stand out from the crowd.
The formula is great. It's really easy to apply just like any other lip balms. You can glide them on ever so smoothly to moisturise and give a lovely layer of colour. They are claimed to give your lips intense care & 8hr hydration, conditioning care for lips that feel baby soft. However, as I've used them for a very long time, I can honestly say that they sadly do not last up to 8 hours, from my experiences, they only last up to maximum 1 hour. But, you can always bring them in your bag or your pocket and apply them for however many times you wish during the day!
They come in 6 different ranges, 3 of them are Hydrate, Repair, Mint Fresh which are clear lip balms containing SPF 20 to give your lips protections, and the other 3 are Cherry me, Peach Kiss and Pink Punch which are tinted lip balms. The colours and the range are definitely very limited here in the UK compare to the ones they bring out in the US. The colours I own Peach Kiss and Cherry Me.
Peach Kiss is a nude colour with a slight shimmer faintly going through it, which adds a very natural colour to your lips, but giving you a beautiful shine at the same time. I think it's my perfect colour to wear on a lazy day or just a simple day out. Furthermore, one of my favourite things about them is that they all contain an incredible fruity scent in them. The scent are exactly how the name describes it as. For example, Peach Kiss smells so delicious just like a peach in a tube!
Cherry Me is a sheer rosey/plum colour which definitely allows you to build up to more opacity. It does not only add a sheer layer of this gorgeous rose colour to your lips, which I think will look incredible to wear all year around, but it also keep your lips moisturised. Plus, this lip balm smells wonderful like a cherry and I could not stop smelling it!
Regardless of its lack of lasting and consistency, I still love them so much due to their awesome formula and the incredible colours! So, I give the Maybelline Baby Lips a overall 8/10.
