Rimmel Keep Calm & Lip Balm - Review

Hey guys!

Press Sample

Today I have some new lip balms from Rimmel to share with you! There are 5 available shades and I have three to share with you. These are "nourishing balms with a fresh hint of tint".

These retail for $2.50 and are available at chain drug stores and mass retailers nationwide! Let's take a look!

The three shades I have are
Top: Keep Calm and Rock (berry blush)
Middle: Keep Calm and Play (rose blush)
Bottom: Keep Calm and Party (violet blush).

The texture of these is very smooth and the sheer tint is perfect for everyday use. They apply like a regular balm but add a little pizazz. There is a mild berry scent to the balms, which I do not find overpowering. I think this would be a great lip balm to check out and you can't beat it for the price! $2.50!

Talk to you soon!

Colores de Carol Summer Fun Collection

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

I have the summer collection from Colores de Carol today!

SPF15 is an orange yellow or as I like to say "yorange", heehee. This was a bit streaky so I did 3 coats.

Tan Lines is orange but almost a pinky orange in person. This was also three coats.

Bright Shorts is a hot pink; this was brighter in person and more vibrant. 3 coats.

Flip My Flops is a purple neon. This had a little better formula that the previous polishes so I only needed 2 coats.

Watching Clouds is a bright sky blue. 3 coats. I have no idea what was happening to my camera this night but I was missing pictures and half of the photos were blurry. Maybe I should stop swatching at night, lol!

Kiwi Popsicle is a lime green, but I should really say a bright kiwi green, right? This was 3 coats.

What do you think?

Frenzy Polish Gamer Girl Polishes

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

I have 3 polishes from the Frenzy Polish Gamer Girls collection to share with you today. These are my first Frenzy Polishes and I mean, can we just look at the little fox on the label?? I die of cuteness.

Catching Fire Flies is a dark green with green, gold, blue assorted hexes and glitters. This is a really beautiful color, I used two coats that were very easy to apply. It's packed with glitter but not so much that it looks clumpy on the nail. Love it! It does dry a bit matte so I added topcoat.

Blue Screen of Death is a cobalt blue glow in the dark glitter polish. I didn't actually realize this was GITD until I had already removed it so I don't have a GITD picture to share with you, lol. Whoops. I did 3 coats but if I had been more careful and used thicker coats, this would have been opaque in two.

/ragequit is a really interesting color, it's a blackened maroon color with blue and red and maybe green flakies. This was 2 coats plus topcoat.

So these are awesome and I would like more Frenzy Polishes. Yeah. Have you tried this brand before? What are your favorite Frenzy polishes?

Virago Varnish Swatches

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

This entire post is to be blamed on JessFace90 on YouTube. I recently discovered her channel (and also discovered that she's from Michigan!) and I have a lot of purchases to blame on her beautiful swatches.

Virago Varnish is a brand that I've been following for a while but hadn't taken the plunge to purchase yet and wow, why did I wait so long??

Rhapsody is a blue micro glitter with holo mixed throughout. Oh. My. Gosh. This is so gorgeous. I originally set out to swatch all 5 of these polishes at once and had to stop after each one because they were too pretty to remove! This was 2 coats and 2 coats of topcoat.

Seduction is basically just..... ab;kajdfhdaklfgflkbAJDFadfkhsdgadg gorgeous. This was two coats and two coats of topcoat. Like... I can't even. 

Stellar is a blue and purple micro holographic glitter in a clear base. Ughhhhh I don't think pictures even do these justice, this was gorgeous. Allllmost opaque in two coats but the glitters are so holographic and reflective that the tiny bit of nail that was visible was not noticeable, so I added a topcoat and called it good.

Glamorous is a black jelly base with holographic glitters. Guys. Like... just go buy these. They are so incredibly gorgeous. I can't even explain it, lol. This was two coats with topcoat.

So yeah. These are amazing. I want all of the colors in the world to be made into this formula of nail polish because it's stunning.

Twinsie Tuesday: Revist

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

Today we are revisiting a theme that we either missedor simply wanted to redo. I went back a few months and picked a theme that was A) easy for me to do and B) was before I was a Twinsie :-) Any guesses??

Anyone? Anyone?



You might have guess HOLO and you would have guessed correctly, lol. I took the easy way out and am showing you a few Glam Polishes. Glam Polish is one of my favorite indies as of late; their holos are fantastic, the formulas are just about perfect, and I just love them super hardcore.

Nicest Kids In Town is a beautiful emerald green holo. This was 2 perfect coats and believe me that this is much more stunning in person. The holo was just like... bam. Gorgeous.

Go check out the rest of the twinsies to see what they are revisiting!

Makeup Monday: Dior Addict Lip Glow - Review!

Hey guys!

Press Sample Affiliate Link

Today I have a review of the Dior Addict Lip Glow! This is a little bit interesting: this balm claims to enhance and beautify the natural color of your lips. As the color reacts to the unique chemistry of your lips, it will look different on every skin tone. These types of products fascinate me! I was so excited to try it out and see how it would look on me!

I love the packaging, it's very sleek and sturdy.

The product itself is a sheer pink color but applies as a clear balm. It smells DELIGHTFUL, like vanilla mint!

This is a picture of my bare lips. I was trying not to smile to not change the color of my lips so you get some RBF instead, lol!

This is the balm on my lips, immediately after application:

This is the balm on my lips after about 10 minutes. I wasn't sure how long it would take to see any difference in color so that's why I waited about 10 minutes.

As you can see, it didn't change much. However, it's still a nice balm to wear; it feels moisturizing. I think this is perfect for throwing in your purse and slapping on whenever you need a little bit of refreshment on your lips! Also... the smell. It smells lovely. Vanilla Minty goodness!

Stardust Polish Week: Lovely Lilac, Blue Skies, and Gnome Made

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

As we come to the final day of our little Stardust Polish Week, I'd like to ask if you enjoyed this? Is there a particular brand that you would like to see featured for the week? It doesn't have to be an indie, but if you have one in mind, please let me know and I'll see if I can accommodate that request :-)

Today, I am bringing you polishes that are sadly no longer available from Stardust Polish. Sorry to do that to you but I had to show you these beautiful babies!

Lovely Lilac is a beautiful lilac holo. The holo in this is not very strong, it's more of a glitter but the color is just beautiful. I did two thin coats with topcoat.

Gnome Made is one half of the Gnome Box that Drema and Rica from Just Rica release monthly. This is a medium blue jelly with pastel blue, green, and purple circle glitters and some green hexes. 3 coats plus a top coat.

Blue Skies is one of my all time favorite Stardust Polishes. It's a gorgeous tealish, aqua-ish holo, it has a perfect formula, and I mean.. LOOK AT THE COLOR! The first picture is without top coat, the second is with topcoat. 

So I hope that you guys enjoyed this Feature Week! Like I mentioned above, if you have a brand or feature that you would like to suggest, please let me know!

You can purchase Stardust Polish here. Be sure to follow her on Facebook and Instagram for sneak peeks are upcoming restocks and new releases!
