Rimmel Lash Accelerator Endless Mascara

I wasn't actually going to try out this mascara, at least not yet. I didn't really like the yellow/green-ish packaging but I have to say I love it now. It's weird but I like the way the brush bit screws back into the tube and does a little click at the end. Anyway, I find the mascara quite good, it doesn't leave clumps when applied carefully/slowly. It makes my eyelashes long and full of volume, and I just love the way it applies to bottom lashes. I never really cared about my bottom lashes that much but after seeing what this mascara did to them and how nicely separated they were, Lash Accelerator Endless is now my go-to for bottom lashes mascara. It's staying power is great as well, the longest I had it on was 14 hours and it stayed put until I took it off before bed. I will definitely re-purchase it once it runs out. However, I think Maybelline's Rocket is a teeny tiny bit better.
Rimmel Lash Accelerator Endless Mascara: £5.99 on offer, but going to be £7.99

February Favorites

I usually post fashion on Fridays but since I really wanted to do my first ever monthly favourites and February ended yesterday I decided to post about that today instead. If I have enough time I will post fashion as well. Anyways, let's get to the favourites. First of all, definitely Nivea's lip butter in Caramel Cream is top of the list, I posted about it a while ago and you can find the link here: Nivea Lip Butters. I also loved (and still love) Nearly Naked foundation by Revlon - link here: Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation and Pressed Powder - however, there was something about the powder that put me off after using it a little more, I think I need to try a lighter shade maybe. So I got Maybelline's Fit Me! powder and it works amazing, I have a feeling it's going to be my favourite for a long time. I've also been loving Maybelline's Color Tattoos in Pink Gold and On and On Bronze, they look brilliant as everyday makeup and don't need a primer (I posted about Color Tattoos before too: Maybelline Color Tattoo Eyeshadows). Last but not least, I got L'Oreal Color Riche Confetti topcoat on my favourites list and honestly, it's the best topcoat I've ever used (I blogged about it a couple of weeks ago when I combined it with Barry M's pastel nail polishes: L'Oreal Color Riche Confetti Topcoat). Oh, and I almost forgot, there's also Rimmel's primer which I already managed to re-purchase, unfortunately it doesn't last very long but it works wonders so I don't mind re-purchasing every 6-8 weeks (link here: Rimmel Fix & Perfect Pro Primer).
What were your favourites in February?
Nivea Lip Butter: £1.49
Revlon Nearly Naked Foundation: £8.99
Maybelline Fit Me! Powder: £5.99
Maybelline Color Tattoo: £4.99 (each)
L'Oreal Color Riche Confetti Topcoat: £4.99
Rimmel Fix & Perfect Primer 002: £6.99

Rimmel Lycra Pro and Rock Your Colour

Since spring is just around the corner and winter is finally coming to an end I thought I'd post my favourite nail polishes I used for the past few months. And as much as I love them, I cannot wait to go into pastels again. Anyway, when I decided to write this post and chose the polishes I noticed they were all Rimmel, yes they are on top of their game lately. The ones I chose are Urban Purple and Beige Babe plus a topcoat of gold glitter called Disco Gold, which is an amazing autumn/winter top coat. I'm a little disappointed I had to cut my nails yesterday (one chipped really bad while at work) so they look a bit sad. Anyways, that's the results...
Rimmel Lycra Pro: £4.59 (each)
Rimmel Rock Your Colour: £4.59

My favourite concealers

Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection Concealer is literally the best concealer I've ever tried. My shade is Fair (1), which is the lightest one. It's nice and creamy and gives medium to full coverage, it doesn't get cakey or dry. I don't apply it straight on my face, I put it on my hand first and then either with a brush or a finger apply it on. It goes on smoothly and stays in place all day, I can't say enough good things about this. However, the packaging is not as amazing as the product, the writing comes off really easily but then again, what's inside makes up for it.
Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer is actually a concealer and a highlighter in one. I use this one mainly for the area under my eyes and my shade is 010 Ivory. It has a pretty natural finish, and wears nicely throughout the day without fading or getting cakey. I'm not too fond on the packaging of this product, but it works well, so I'm not going to complain. I apply it the same way as the Collection 2000 concealer - with a finger or a brush.
Maybelline Fit Me! Concealer is definitely the nicest looking one out of all three. My shade is 15. It has the same kind of applicator as the Collection 2000 one, so I use it the same way. Its consistency is quite creamy and blends into the skin really nicely, it doesn't sit in the fine lines and doesn't look cakey. It holds up well, I usually have it on for about 8-9 hours and don't have any problems with it. I mostly reach for this concealer when I can't find my Collection 2000 one, or when I run out of it.
Collection 2000 Lasting Perfection: £4.19
Rimmel Match Perfection: £5.99
Maybelline Fit Me!: £5.99
