Holiday Nails: Rimmel I Love Lasting Finish in Pop Your Pink


Tomorrow I head to Las Vegas for a week, and I couldn't be more excited! I've spent most of today pampering myself (and scheduling some posts for throughout the week), and of course this included painting my nails a beautiful summery colour.

I love Rimmel nail polishes but this is the first I Love Lasting finish one that I've tried, and I'm so impressed! The colour is so vibrant, and it applied really smoothly. It was also completely dry in five minutes, so it's great if you've not got much time to spare.

 
With its promises of being long-lasting, I'll be interested to see how good this looks after a week in Vegas! I've packed it just in case it needs any touch-ups though.
 
At just £2.99 from Superdrug, it's an absolute bargain, and if it lives up to my expectations then I'll definitely be treating myself to a few more shades! What are your favourite brands when it comes to nail polish?

Glossybox September 2013


I love getting my Glossybox each month, and this month was no exception. 'The London Edition' was presented in a beautiful Union Jack box, with decorative London-themed tissue paper packaging.



 
I was really happy with this month's selection of treats overall, and I felt that this box offered good value for money with 4 of my products being full sized.
 
 
My first product was this Rimmel Stay Blushed Blusher 14ml (full size), worth £4.49. I got shade 001 Pop of Pink, which should give my pale skin a really natural hint of rosiness. It promises to last 24 hours too, which is great for my oily complexion. I'm excited to try this out.
 
 
 Next up is a 5ml sample of Elizabeth Arden Untold, worth £4.80. I really like the fact that this is a decent size for sample compared to other perfume vials I've has in previous Glossyboxes. Fragrance-wise, it's a delicate floral accord, which is really light. I think this is a lovely fragrance and one that's not overpowering.
 
The bottle is cute too!
 
 
 
 
My next treat was this Toni & Guy Classic Shine Gloss Serum 30ml (full size), worth £7.19. I've used serums before and this one is supposed to be lightweight, so hopefully it won't make my fine hair look greasy.
 
 
I found this Be A Bombshell Eye Liner in Onxy 3g to be a strange choice for the London-themed box as it seems to only be available in America. That said, it seems like a great felt-tip style liner and looks really pigmented when swatched on the back of my hand. At $14, this is worth about £8.80 give or take the exchange rate.
 
 
 
 
 
Finally were these Eylure Pre-Glued lashes, worth £5.06. I'm not really a false lash wearer but I'm prepared to give these a go next time I have a night out. I like the self-adhesive aspect though, it sounds much better than faffing around with glue.
 
In total my box this month was worth £30.34. Also, if you take your product card to a Debenhams store, you can also get a free Elizabeth Arden Untold Body Lotion 100ml. Not bad, eh?
 
What did you get in your Glossybox this month? Were you happy with your products?
