I'm back!! with Rimmel Lively lilac

Heyy everyone!!
I'm back from my vacation. We went to Greece and then to my home country Romania.
We had so much fun, we saw great places, saw my family and met with our friends from back home.

Now back to the purpose of this blog - nailpolish. Today I tried on the last Rimmel I had, and it is a gorgeous lilac cream color. It was very easy to apply, and it was opaque in 2 coats.

It shrunk a bit on the middle finger because of the Seche vite, but I am mostly content with the way this reacted to it. Much better than Zoya which always has a bigger shrinkage factor.

Anyways here are the photos:

Rimmel Lemon drop + gradient

What is up everyone?
I did another mani with one of the Rimmels I got from a friend and I wasn't as pleased with this one as I was with the other 3.

This is a light yellow cream, that did not apply very well, it was all streaky even on the second coat, so I gad to put on three.

I did a gradient too using on top Zoya Mira, the thing is that after half a day it started to wear bad, so that's why my nail tips look so beat up on the gradient photo.

SO I really wouldn't recommend buying this polish, on top of the nasty application it wears really bad. So it's really a no go for me.

Some Rimmel spam

Some friends of mine came over last week, and they came baring gifts - some Rimmel polishes from back home. I am really enjoying each and every one of them. They are really pretty!

First of all I've noticed that they are all opaque in two coats, and that they don't chip, but I did notice a fair amount of tip wear. They dry pretty quickly and the brush is good too.

Now let's get on to the colors.
Hot shot is the first one I tried, it's an almost neon pink cream. It applies like a cream but it looks a lot like a neon. I loved this color, and it was the first one I chose to try because I liked it the most.

The second color soon became my new favourite. Wine not is a beautiful wine red cream.

And once I thought I was done, I tried Misty Jade and it became my favourite. It's a pretty almost neon green, but it finishes as a cream. I seriously love all three of these and thank my friends for getting these for me. Thank you Mirela & Ange!!

I have two more of these to try out and can't wait.

Make up with my new Sigma brushes

I got some new brushes from Sigma a few days ago and thought I'd try them out.

The first one, and the most important one because I will use it everyday, is the one for foundation F80, it's got nice soft bristles, and it works very well, the foundation looks very natural when applied with this brush. I am very happy with this purchase. It was 16$ and I think the delivery to France was about 8$.

Along with this one I also bought the E30, which is a small blending brush, that I bought for blending in the crease, because my other blending brush is way too big. I am very happy with this one too, and it was 9$. I think these are just as good as the MAC brushes and a lot cheapper, I remember I payed for my MAC 217 blending brush 24€.

On to the make up I did. I always put a moisturiser on before applying the make up, around the eyes I use Clarins anti-rides, and on the face Avene Yysthéal+ Anti-rides. 

After I apply my foundation, which is Make up Forever HD high definition foundation. I really love this! I have used other foundations, but I always come back to this one, because it is light, and doesn't make my face look like I have tons of make up on, providing in the same time good coverage.

Around the eyes I am currently using MAC concealler Studio FPS 35. I am not really into this one, but I bought it and I have to finish it. I find it too thick, and noticeble under my eyes. I previously had HD from Make up forever, but that one is extremely expensive for 2 ml. But I was super happy with it. This one has 7gr so that's a plus, but the product is not as good.

To fix this in place I use compact powder. I prefer compact, because loose is well loose, and I always find myself cleaning up afterwards. At the moment I am using Benefit Get Even. It's ok, but I think I should have bought a different color. I have a very light skin and usually buy the lightest shade in foundation, powder etc.

Then I proceed with the eyes, I always use a primer and I prefer Too Faced Shadow Insurance. It is the best, the shadow does not move throughout the day, and it is easy to work with.

The eyeshadow I used was Wet'n'Wild Knock on Wood. I ordered these on nonpareilboutique. These are super cheap and great quality, very soft, and well pigmented. I only used the bottom colors, because the browbone color is really too dark for me to use it as a highlighter. So the one in the middle was applied with the E30 brush.

As a highlighter I used this Rimmel:

The mascara I am using right now is Dior Extase, I fell in love with this one, and I am not letting it go.
And the eyeliner I used on my lower waterline, is a L'oreal pencil, but can't really tell you which color, because the name has dissapeared. I really love this pencil, I use it a lot.

So this is the finished look:
