Rimmel London Lasting Finish Nail Polish Review

This week i decided to review another nail polish i bought recently from Rimmel London the lasting finish nail polish in "Double Decker Red 030" on sale for $2 AUD which is a steal from the usual $14.95 AUD it can cost in some stores. I chose to get the double decker as many of you will know i was born in North Yorkshire and as such love all things british including double decker buses, which i dearly miss due to not been able to surf in the aisle on the top deck going around corners anymore haha. 
It took me a few days to actually get off my rear and take my old polish off and test out this product as i have been busy and i will admit kind of lazy and also a little bit poorly recently, but here are my pros and cons for this product.

Pros:

• Great amount of pigment in the product so the colour is bright even with only one coat
• The brush is a good thickness and didn't hold too much product  
• The polish dried completely within 3-5 mins 
• The bottle has good grip on the lid making it easy to open and not to spill
• These polishes regularly go on sale in places like Coles, Woolies and Kmart so are not too expensive

Cons:

•  The regular retail price is pretty high
•  When i first bought it the polish was inside wrapping that was hard to open

From now on i want to start giving products i review a "Happy Sam Rating" out of 5, with 1/5 been horrid and a 5/5 been melted chocolate and Netflix good, In using this scale i would like to give this product a:  4/5 Happy Sam Rating

I definitely reccomend this product and i will be buying more when i can,

Thanks for reading my lovelies

Bye for now xx  

DIY Customized Shirts

In today's post i am going to run through a couple snazzy ideas on how to customize your shirts; you can use old baggy stretched out shirts or even a shirt that you picked up from K-mart for $3 a pop. In this Case i used option B.


Idea 1: Acrylic Paint

To make the first design i basically splatted paint on one side of the shirt and then folded it in half to create an inkblot test effect

 

 

 

To make the second design i just decided i wanted to make a shirt with an evil pop tart on it so i painted it haha
















Idea 2: Print your own iron on transfers

For This idea you just find an image you want on your shirt, print it shiny side down on iron on transfer paper using an inkjet printer (not a laser printer), Cut out the image as close to the edge as you can, Peel off Backing, Place where you want the design with the grease proof paper on top, Using an iron on high setting apply heat evenly over 30 secondsish and finally once it has slightly cooled gently peel off the grease proof paper to reveal your design

Thanks for reading hope you enjoyed this post

 

DIY Plugs

Recently i decided to have a go at making my own plugs for my stretched ears, my ears are 12mm so i used a ruler to measure the diameter to make sure they were the right size. This is what i did...

1. I went to my local dollar store and bought some polymer clay that you can bake in the oven

2. Work some of  the clay in your hands

3. Shape the clay into a sausage shape and break it into small pieces

4. Roll clay into plug like shapes and use the ruler to check the size ( note if it looks slightly too small, don't worry about it as they can expand in the oven only by 0.5-1mm but still i learned that the hard way as my first batch turned out too big )

5. Bake in the oven for 30mins at 130 degrees (c)(30mins for even 6mm of thickness)

And once they have finished in the oven and cooled down you now have your very own polymer clay plugs

Thanks for reading

Bye for now my lovelies

2. Bright coloured shirts can bring a much needed lift to your work attire.

3. Less is more when it comes to make up and jewellery 

4. Find little ways to show off your personality, you could style your hair vintage or you you could wear a piece of personal jewellery like my viking oath band which i made myself.

5. Long clean lines and creating a clean silhouette will leave you feeling confident and ready to take on the work place.

Australis Conceal Correct 4 in 1 Concealer Palette Review

Hello there my lovelies,
I am going to start by explaining how i came across this concealer palette... I was out shopping with hubbo and i told him i was in need of a concealer palette so off we went into Priceline at Kippa ring and i went straight to the lady and asked her what concealer palettes they had and i swear i must have been talking a foreign language as the look she gave me was that of utter confusion. After around a minute a cog clicked in her brain and so the search began and she finally found this product and told me it was the only concealer palette they stocked.... Which is false as i have seen a concealer palette in another Priceline and went back a few days later to let them know for the manager to turn to me and basically call me a liar saying that she knows Australis is the only brand to do a palette at all... well screw you lady...Napoleon Perdis concealer palette & Mac concealer palette.... Check mate :)

Ok story over lets get down to business, I was very impressed with the Australis Concealer Palette overall it has great coverage and the colour correction is perfect for my skin as i usually have a lot of pink tone in my skin.

Pros: 

• Small packaging for easy storage in a make up bag
• Great coverage
• Product smells good
• The palette has a layer for bags under your eyes and a layer for redness and each layer has a regular concealer component 
• At only $12.95 it wont break the bank

Cons:

• It didn't come with an application brush or anything 
• The packaging was hard to open
• It only has one mirror under the first layer and every time i try to use it the layer falls and clips back down which gets real tiring real fast.

After

Well i hope you enjoyed my review of Australis Conceal Correct concealer palette

Peace out xx

Find your body shape

Spring haul!!!

This morning I arrived at peninsula fair shopping centre and decided to take a look around the shops before heading down to +Vanessa's house for our monthly blogathon, in barely 5 minutes I found a perfect pair of jeans in crossroads and I fell in love with a piece of clothing... I know poor husband I'm having an affair with a pair of jeans haha.

What I like the most about these jeans is the worn acid effect and the great quality 

The next store I went to was millers where they had a 40% off members sale and I naturally went straight to the discount rack as you do and I found 3 shirts I really liked all floral and all my size... Then a thought crossed my mind of whether or not they would be covered by the 40% off so I read the banner and...

Yes! ....they were making them between $ 8.00 and $ 11.00 which is a bargain

I really love the spring atmosphere these shirts express....

Finally I popped to Coles before the bus and picked up

I am planning to do a review of this product and I will let you all know how I go becoming tanned 

Thanks for reading guys

Peace out x
