Nail Polish Review


Sephora FormularX Nail Polish Review

 As some of you may know I am a nail junky, I always want to try the latest products. As soon as I found out that Sephora had a new nail polish line I wanted to get my hands on one, but as I live in England it not that easy. when I found out my parents were join to New York, I was able to get one and test it out!





Equinox




I was very impressed with this polish, I would say for this colour you defiantly need two coats. It lasts a lot longer when you wear a top coat. With out a top coat it lasted about 4 days but with a top coat it lasts about 6 days. The glitter is very fine so it create an iridescent look but also its not a pain to take off. The packaging is very sleek and the brush is very easy to use.

IMATS haul

IMATS


I went to IMATS on the saturday with two of my makeup crazy friends! We had the best time and it was great to meet of the youtubers we watch. Just a disclaimer I bought everything with my own money as I had been saving up for a long time!

This is an over view of what I bought on the saturday you may notice that there is a Sephora blush there I just wanted to add that in. I bought that when I was in spain and there should be a blog post of some of the pictures coming soon.

These are the lip products that a got they are all from NYX.
Top: Retractable lip liner in Nude
Mega shine lip gloss in Beige
Jumbo lip pencil in Hera
 Bottom: Jumbo lip pencil in Chaos

Sorry this is hard to see but this is all blushers and a bronzer 
left: NARS Leguna, NARS Orgasm, Sephora Healthy Rose, NYX Mocha :Right


These are both eyeliners
Top: NYX jumbo eye pencil in Lime
Bottom: Bobbi Brown long wear gel eyeliner in Black Ink

This is just a few of the colours from the NYX Glitterati Glitter Cream Palette.
this was a bit of a random buy but it was only £5 and I was in a crazy mood, I don't know when I will be able to wear this but I thought it was fun!


This is the only non-makeup bits I bought, I  got these brushes from Crown brushes I cant tell you which one is which as they don't all have names but the smaller pounder brush is called: C141 small chisel blush.

Thats all I bought from IMATS and if you want to see any more pictures from the day you can go to my Instagram: hansies_cook I had such a great day and I cant wait to go next year

Bourjois 123Perfect CC Cream

First Impressions on the Bourjois 123Perfect CC Cream

I know I am a bit late on the bandwagon with the whole BB and CC creams but I sort of thought them as just a gimmick product. I have been seeing this product in a few youtube videos and was interested to give it a go, I needed a lighter summer foundation as my makeup tends to just slip off! I have only wore this for a day so I'm only giving my first impression not a full review.



I got mine in shade 32 light beige which is a little dark for me but as it is near summer I thought that would be fine. There are four shades to pick from my shade is the second lightest. They are priced at £9.99 for a 30ml tube. It also provides with 24h hydration and SPF15. What mainly intrigued me about this product was the correction colours, it has an orangey tone to hide tiredness, a green tone to hide redness and a white tone to hide dark spots. It also says it gives a luminous completion and smooth skin.


As for the smell it is not very significant but it just smells of your typical foundation smell, if that helps. It is a very light constancy and I would say it was light coverage so great in the summer. It does leave you skin feeling smooth and non greasy but as a have oily skin I do have to powder the skin half way through the day. I would say the colour corrector were more of a gimmick but it does even out your skin tone.

So far I am quit impressed and I cant wait to try more products like this! If you have any suggestions of good drugstore products like this then please leave your suggestions in the comment box. I cant promise when my next post will be up as exams are taking over my life at he moment but I'm sure it won't be to long!

First Impressions

My first impressions on the Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner 24h

Most of you don't no but it is my birthday today and one of the presents I got from my sister what the Maybelline gel eyeliner in back. I had never tried a gel liner before so I thought it was about time. 


This is what it looks like when you take it out of the box you get the pot with the eyeliner in and then a small travel size brush.

From the box it claims to have a gel formula which it does. it is meant to last for 24hours with no transfer with strong pigmentation with easy application.


When first applying I found it went on smoothly and it was very pigmented, I used the brush that came with it and surprisingly it made putting on eyeliner every easy as in the past I have always struggled with it.






After 4 hours
 So from looking at the mirror it looks basically the same ashen I first put it on so it has dried to a mat black. It has not transferred or smudged which is amazing. So far I am very impressed!



After another 4 hours
After 8 hours from when I first put the eyeliner on I can see for the mirror that the colour has faded a bit but there is still smudging or transferring. Well I am still very impressed!

lastly another 4 hours
So finally after 12 hours of wearing the eye liner I can see that this time it looks a little more faded then last time but also it has transferred a little on the crease of my eyelid considering my eyelids are quite oily and most eyeliners smudge with in an hour this has done surprisingly well. Ohh and one other thing to add when taking it of I suggest an eye makeup remover as I think with a face wipe it could be quite tricky.



Just a little picture of me on my birthday wearing the eyeliner!



Over all for a drugstore gel eyeliner that is only £7.99 I think it is great! I would defiantly recommend this for first time buyers of makeup or gel eyeliner users. Hope you like this type of blog and please comment down below if you have any ideas about what I could write in the future.
