Rimmel Apocalips Review & Swatches!

Hey everyone!



Today I got my hand on these beauties! So many people have spoken about these and they new version, Provocalips. I have never tried them before so when they were reduced, I grabbed them. I got them in 3 shades and for some reason, I can't find ANY shade on these products!? If you know the shades then let me know in the comments please!
I decided to review and swatch them for you. The brightest colour of lipgloss seems really messy in the picture but these are so so hard to apply without a lip liner! So I would advise using a lip liner first for a neater look.

Swatches:


Lightest shade:


This is proabably my favourite as I love a nude shade on my lips. I think this would look nice on fair/tanned skin as long as you're not too pale so it doesn't wash you out. I don't think it would be as good on super dark skin tones.


Middle shade:


This is my second favourite as it's not too nude and it's got a little spot of pink tones throughout. This could basically go with any makeup look, but not too smokey It's a very girly colour.


Brightest shade:


This is the hardest to apply without lip liner as you can tell in the picture, it's quite messy. Also, this is my least favourite colour as it's very bright (looks more muted on camera). 


The formula of these lip products is different to what I've had before. They're very creamy and long lasting. They aren't too sticky but your lips will stick together a little if you deliberately squish them together. I've got to rate these a 7/10 overall.

Have you tried these?

Philip Kingsley!

Hey everyone!



I'm going to be reviewing a sample product that I got in the Glamour Party Beauty Box. I have a blog post on that HERE.

I tried this out this morning and thought I would tell you all my opinion on it. I've never heard of Philip Kingsley as a brand before so I was interested to try this out. I found this to be an amazing product and I'm glad I got to try out a sample. I hope to purchase the full thing.

It also smells amazing, which is a bonus with hair products. The bad thing is, the samples are so small so I only got one use out of it.

I still recommend this to everyone and if you're looking for a new shampoo and conditioner, go for this one!

The Netflix Tag!

Hey everyone!


I saw one of my favourite bloggers, Annie Writes Beauty, do this tag, Infact, she created it, so huge credit to her as it's a great idea. I am a huge Netflix addict, I'm constantly on it so this tag fits me perfectly. I wasn't tagged but wanted to do it anyway! Enjoy!

1. What are your favourite series' to watch on Netflix?
Suits, Gossip Girl, The 4400, AHS and The Killing.

2. What are you currently watching on Netflix?
Gossip Girl! I started it, not even a week ago and I'm half way through season 2. It's amazing and fair to say, I'm hugely addicted and found a new favourite.

3. If you could have any series, old or new put on Netflix, what would it be?
Dallas or FRIENDS, for sure!

4. What is your one peeve about Netflix?
I have the same answer as Annie, it's kind of hard to navigate and I'm forever scrolling looking for something to watch.

5. What are your essentials for a perfect night with netflix?
A load of food, blankets galore, candles and lots of drinks so I don't have to be running up and down the stairs all the time.

6. Recommend one series or film for someone else.
Gossip Girl


Hope you enjoyed this tag, go check out Annie's blog over on www.anniewritesbeauty.co.uk!
