New Rimmel and NYC Eye Products!

*Products Sent to Me for Review

Hey guys!

While I have a nail on my left hand that is healing and regrowing from a month or two ago when I sliced the top of the base with scissors, I have another different review for you guys!

I have two new products from the minds over at Sally Hansen and Coty, Inc. These come from two different brands in their company, Rimmel and NYC: New York Color.

Recently they came out with some new products for your eyes and I was asked if I would like to test them out and review them. I am new to doing eye product reviews, but I was game!

They sent me a mascara and four eyeshadow sticks. Since my eyeshadow skills are only good enough for me to see and I suck at taking eye pics, I swatched on my arm.

First up, I will show you guys the mascara that they sent me. I was sent Rimmel London's Wonderlash Lift Me Up Mascara.

This mascara has a huge wand and brush, which I love. It has two curves to get all of your lashes. I tried it on one eye only so you guys could see a before and after. It lengthened my lashes, but I didn't think it did anything super extraordinary. I like it as a mascara in general though, very nice, but not anything too special.

 (Left eye is shown with no mascara, and right eye shows with.)

Next I have up the NYC CityProof 24hr Waterproof Eyeshadow, which I have four different colors to show you guys.

The first two colors I have up are Madison Square Park and Empire State Building.

Madison Square Park is a bright emerald green that has shimmer and is almost minty. 

Empire State Building is a slate grey shimmer that can look almost blue in the light. 

Next up, these two are Brooklyn Mocha and Murray Hill Champagne.

Brooklyn Mocha is a light golden brown shimmer that is almost rosey. It shows up better in the group swatch shot. 

Murray Hill Champagne is a super light gold with shimmer.

I felt that all four of the eyeshadow sticks didn't have super high pigment until you really went over it at least four times, but I still find the colors pretty and great to layer on other colors.

Rimmel London's Wonderlash Lift Me Up Mascara retails for $8.99 and the NYC CityProof 24hr Waterproof Eyeshadow sticks retail for $2.99 each. I haven't spotted the mascara in stores yet, but the eyeshadow sticks are in stores now. Check your local CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, and other stores for these products.

Well, that's all I have for you guys for now! I'll talk to you all later, bye!

Rimmel London: Salon Pro: Kate Moss Shades

*Products Purchased By Me

Hey guys!

I am back today to show you a couple of shades that I picked up last month from Longs Drugs

These two are from Rimmel's newest nail polish line, Salon Pro. The two shades in particular that I have to show you guys are from Kate Moss' collection in this line and with this brand.

These two shades are more darker than I usually go for, but I thought they were super unique and so pretty!

The first one that I have up to show you is called Punk Rock. This is a purple toned gray creme. I did two coats by itself. Application was great. I love the name of this, it is a very unique color that to me embodies punk rock. (Scissor injury on my middle finger, hence the line)

The second one that I have up to show you is called Saturn. This is a nice bronzy-gold metallic polish. I did two coats by itself. I love this color. While there are many golds out there and many browns, this one is great because it combines the two colors into one lovely metallic. Application is great.

I love these polishes. They are so pretty. They go on so well. As for the wear, it didn't last long but like I've said before, polish never lasts long on my nails so don't really trust me on that. You can pick these guys up at Longs Drugs or wherever they sell Rimmel products, but these are not in all displays. Longs had them for the regular price of $2.99 each, probably cheaper where you live since everything here is at a markup.

Well, that's all I have for you guys for now. I will talk to you all later, bye!

Sally Hanson Complete Salon Manicure: Bridal Collection 2015

*Products Purchased By Me

Hey guys!

I am back today to show you some lovely polishes that I picked up from Sally Hansen.

My work, Ross, occasionally gets in some mainstream brand polishes. This time, they got in a couple Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure ones. One day I picked up one, and the next day I picked up another.

I looked the colors up that I picked up and noticed that they are both from their bridal collection from this past spring, which is exciting to know I got polish from such a recent collection. I only found two out of the four or five in the entire collection.

The first one that I have up to show you is called Perfect Pair. This is a baby pink filled with micro golden shimmer. I did three coats by itself. Application was great.

The second one I picked up is called Bridal Bling. This is a metallic silver polish filled with micro holo-gold glitter. I did three coats by itself. Application was great.

While baby pinks and silvers are a dime a dozen and nothing to write home about, what makes these polishes unique is the micro shimmer and glitter hidden inside of the polish.

Well, that's all I have for you guys for now. I will talk to you all later, bye!

LA Colors: Color Craze Gel

*Products Purchased By Me

Hey guys!

I am back today to show you guys some new polish that I picked up.

I have heard some people talking about the LA Colors Gel polishes and how they loved them. I spotted them at Ross over the weekend.

I found a three pack of a coral, a mint, and a hot pink. They all have no names.

I decided to do a mani featuring the hot pink shade, because we all know I love pink, and using an accent of SpaRitual in Burst. I did three coats by itself, and a middle finger accent. Application wasn't the best, a little bit lumpy.

I love the look, but the package says that it wears like polish and looks like gel. I dislike that. It means that it will just look shiny, but still chip just as easy. Also, to me, before adding a topcoat, it looked no more shiny than any other nail polish. If anything, it looked less shiny.

Maybe it is just me, but I am not super impressed by these, but still neat to have in my collection anyways. If anything I have said hasn't swayed you from wanting to try these, check your local Ross to see if they have these. I picked them up for $5.99 for the three pack.

Well, that's all I have for you guys for now. I will talk to you all later, bye!

SpaRitual: Four Lovlies

*Products Purchased By Me

Hey guys!

I am back today to show you some four lovely SpaRitual polishes that I recently picked up.

Last Sunday I went to TJMaxx with my mom. I noticed they got in some new polishes. Lately their polish section, in my opinion, has not been that great. they got in some great ones this time. They had a great display of tons of SpaRitual polishes.

I love their polishes. I have only had the pleasure of trying one before buying this group, but I loved the one that I had. I was excited to get to try some more.

Here is a collage of the four that I picked out!

The first one that I have up to show you is called Intellect. This is a medium blue polish packed with purple shimmer. I did three coats by itself. I love this color, the photo doesn't do it justice at all.

Next up, this one is called North Star. This is a duochome polish that goes from a purpley grey to pink and purple, and it is full of pink shimmer. I did three coats by itself. Colors like this never cooperate with my camera, so sorry for the photo. Plus bubbles are because it is like 1000 degrees where I live right now.

Third up, this one is called Burst. This is a glitter topper micro pink and medium red glitters in a sheer redish-pink base. I did three coats by itself. It works great on its own with multiple coats or put it over another color to give a kick.

The last one that I have to show you is called Barefoot. This is a beige colored polish filled with micro holo, pink, and red glitters. I did three coats by itself. I love the pop of color the glitter gives to this subtle color.

All of these polishes applied fantastically. There was a little mess, but I am not a professional so some mess is gonna happen anyways. I love the variety of colors that I picked up, from glitters to sheer to duchrome. These polishes can be found at TJMaxx for $3.99 each. Usually these can retail upwards of $20 each, so you are getting an awesome deal. If you like any that you see, or already love this brand before this post and want more, better hurry to your local TJMaxx before these polishes leave the shelves and they are on to more OPI or China Glaze.

Well, that's all I have for you guys for now. I will talk to you all later, bye!

Sally Hansen Sugar Shimmer in Work of Tart

*Product Purchased Myself

Hey guys!

I am back today with a great polish that maybe some of you have thought of picking up in the past, or that you already own and love.

I love Sally Hansen, have featured them often on my blog. Today I have a polish from their texture line of polishes. This one comes from not the Sugar Coat line, but their sister line, Sugar Shimmer.

This one is called Work of Tart. This is a great minty-teal gritty texture filled with subtle golden shimmer. I did three coats throughout.

On my ringer finger, I did an accent of China Glaze Don't Be A Flake. This is a glitter topper  filled with rose gold, black, sky blue, and holo hex glitters. I did one coat.

Both polishes went on great and wear pretty well. Lasted a day until chipping which is great for me. Usually polishes on my nails chip within a day, so these are pretty good.

Sally Hansen Sugar Coat I believe isn't still sold in stores but you can spot them at places like TJMaxx and Ross for around $2. China Glaze sells usually for around $8-$9 in salons and $3-$4 in places like TJMaxx.

Well, that's all I have for you guys for now. I will talk to you all later, bye!

Vintage Polishes Day!: Revlon Oldies

*Polishes Received in Swap

Hey guys!

Today I have some wonderful vintage polishes to show you all that I received in one of the recent swaps that I did.

I got a number of vintage polishes, but the ones that I have to show you here are two of the Revlon ones that came in my package.

These are quite old, I don't even know how old but I can only assume at least from the 90s.

The one on the left is called Lavendare and the one on the right is called Ultra Violet. 

Lavendare is on my middle and pinky fingers. Ultra Violet is on my pointer and ring fingers. 

Lavendare is a dusty purple polish filled with shimmer. I did three coats with topcoat.

Ultra Violet is a gorgeous purple-blue packed with lilac shimmer. The color shift comes out best in bright light. I did three coats with topcoat.

As for the application, they were pretty good for being however told they may be. Not chunky and no pulling. I can't wait to try out the other vintage polishes I got in this box and obtain other ones. I only seriously got into nail polish a few years ago, so no vintage polishes in my stash before this. The oldest ones I have are some Rimmel 60 Seconds nail polishes, in the larger bottles before they changed to mini bottles.

Well, that's all I have for you guys for now. I will talk to you guys later, bye!
