I wasn't going to jump on this bandwagon but I really did love the look of these polishes. When I found a £3 off a Revlon product in my purse that I completely forgot about I hot-footed it over to Boots and perused the different nail colours. Revlon Parfumerie Scented Nail Enamel in Lime Basil stood out by a mile and I popped off to the tills happy with my choice. When I popped it on my nails, I was even happier. With one coat I was done and gobsmacked; it didn't even take that long to dry. My impatient side was so happy that I might have to get myself back to Boots to buy a few more. (Don't tell my mother, shhhh.) Now, I bet your wondering about the scent. I haven't stopped sniffing my nails, what does that tell you? It's a lovely fresh scent that is the perfect mix of lime and basil. Just, lovely! I do have a little quibble though. As much as I love the colour, scent, packaging and everything else, the fact that after just 24 hours it's started to chip has left me a little deflated!

Have you tried any other colours?

Bright Super Skinny Jeans - New Look
Black Frilly socks - Primark
Black Ankle Boots - New Look
Gold 3 Chain Bracelet - New Look
Gold Aztec Ring - New Look
Chunky Gold Chain Necklace - New Look

Beauty:

Firstly, if you got the My Big Fat Greek Wedding quote, 10 points to Gryffindor. Secondly, don't look at me like that! I know EVERYTHING I'm wearing is New Look but if you give me a chance I'll tell you why. It's simple really, I work there and get 50% off BUT I think a lot of high street shoppers need to start giving New Look another chance. I remember a few years ago, I'd walk into New Look and walk straight back out but now, it's different. Look at this Black Floral Print Longline Kimono for goodness sake, it's absolutely stunning and I refuse to actually take it off. With the likes of Lily wearing it as well, you know it's going to be popular! Teamed simply with a black cami, black boots and some jeans, I let it do all of the talking for me. A lot of this stock in old stock but you can find similar items in New Look and they are currently have 20% off for students until Friday, online and instore! 

What do you think of this outfit?

When I went into Boots I wasn't expecting to come out with one of these babies, yet here I am, jumping on the bandwagon and feeling absolutely fantastic about it. As soon as I saw the shades I knew it was going to be either Audacious or Shameless (dark purple) but this beautiful orange shade went straight into my basket. Am I feeling summer too early? Revlon have hit a home run AGAIN and I will be going back to pick up some more. The 'Chubby Stick' tube ticks all the boxes and this shade is absolutely stunning. Even though in the pictures it is slightly muted on the lips, it is a little brighter in real life. To be fair, it does slightly wear down to this shade after a couple of hours and I like it that way. Onto the longevity of this, and it is lovely. It lasted a 4 hour shift a work nicely with somebody commenting on it right at the end of my shift. Nice work Revlon. Just a quick note though, if you didn't like the original smell of peppermint, which I love, I'd steer clear of them again. Now onto the matte-ness of them, it's definitely goes on and stays matte. Another box ticked in my opinion. Okay, I think you guys get it now, I love love love these and I urge you to go running to your nearest Boots and pick one up now!

Have you grabbed one yet? Will you be picking a shade up?

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Balm Stain: Review




Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Lip Balm Stain in Cherish (£7.99) - Boots

Now, I know you've read about a million and one reviews on what seems to be a bloggerosphere miracle product but I would really love to put my pennies worth into the blogging world about this product. I love it. Seriously, it's a lipstick in a crayon that's wonderful for your lips, what more could you actually want?! I chose Cherish because I wanted a colour that I could wear everyday and know I could pull off. The pigmentation is fantastic and lasts a decent amount of time on the lips before turning into the stain you are promised. Now, I have to admit, the stain isn't fantastic on me but I really don't care because I've found that my lips are in lovely condition when I use this. I know a lot of people aren't too fond of the minty scent, but I don't mind it at all and I hope it hasn't put off people from giving them a go because I seriously do think that these are worth the hype surrounding them. 

Have you given them a go? What do you think?
