Polishes -Chi Chi - Chi Chi Salon Formula
naturallyginger17 5/7/2013 5:54:00 AM
I recently bought my first Chi Chi nail polish in the shade Glamourville, which is a pastel purple shade. My original plan was to buy the very similar shade of this purple from O.P.I named you're being such a budapest, alas i am financially crippled and had to buy this one instead. The colour looks great with my pinky pale skin because of the blueish-pinkish undertone, which you can actually see when the bottle hasn't been shaken in a while and that weird liquid is at the top. Anyway the quality of the polish itself is pretty good considering price and what not. Two-three layers are needed to make it opaque but i usually only need two. It doesnt take forever to dry like some formulas but it does take a bit, though i use Revlon quick dry top coat on top. The formula is thin but not watery. I would definitely recommend this to people with pale skin but i don't know how it would look on people with yellow undertones.

Fragrances -Elizabeth Arden - Pretty Hot

Thisis the only perfume i own at the moment and i quite like it because it kinda reminds me of smoke and flowers. It definitely is a summer scent, though right now i am looking for something cleaner. It lasts maybe one or two hours but i kinda drench myself in it. I have had a few compliments including one guy saying i smelt of sunshine and rainbows, so its definitely a pleasant scent. I am on my third bottle because i do really like this perfume even though it is expensive. Plus it is just Way Better then its predecessor (Pretty)

Moisturizers -Aveeno - Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer spf15

I like this product. It has helped to reduce my pimples and made my freckles less noticable. I was hoping that it would also take away some of my blotchiness but alas it didnt really help in that department. It does moisturise quite well but i have found that i have to apply a second or even third layer sometimes. If you have incredibly dry skin i would maybe get something a little richer or just apply more then one layer. If you have oily skin i am not sure if this would do well for you but my nose is pretty oily and it seems to be the place that sucks it all up in a few minutes. I have noticed that it has little specks of glitter in it but it isnt too much and doesn't Sit on the skin, not making you look like the cosmos unlike other shimmery products. I like the bottle and the pump but i hate the box it comes in, it just annoys me. I get it the cheapest i can which unfortunately still isnt that cheap but it lasts for two or three months so I dont mind too much. I have bought this about three times and would reccomend it.

Mascara -Cover Girl - Lash Blast Fusion

I don't love this mascara but I don't hate it. It's just a mediocre mascara that gives some volume, a little length and i really don't like the brush. This is the type of mascara you take on a few dates but after two months of steady dinner and movie dates you can only see faults and you dump it one night over the phone and eat one mini tub of ice cream before hitting the next store and chatting up some handsome new mascara that promises better results. Yes i realise that is a bit weird but thats how this mascara is. I wouldn't buy it again. Maybe its just me but it smells weird

Mascara -Maybelline - Volum' Express One by One

As far as mascara goes this is a pretty good one, it gives some voume and a little length and it doesn't clump. But it does slowly flake through out the day, leaving a little bits of 'dust' under the eyes. I would buy it again but it isn't at the top of my list. It opens up my eyes nicely though and i use it quite a lot. The brownish black is the colour i use and it looks nice on me because of my hair colour (if I wear black i look waaaayyy too dramatic) I like this mascara... but it kind of smells like old, dusty flowers :3

Lipstick -Revlon - Primrose

I really like this lipstick because it compliments my skintone and glides on easily. The colour is really nice, with a slightly purple feel to it. I would recommend it to people with pale skin with a blue undertone and I would buy it again. The price was origanally high but I got mine on a two for one sale so I didn't mind about that.
