Revlon Nail Paint

My favourite nail polish colour of all time! It's the perfect corn flour/baby blue colour. It's suitable for anytime of the year, I think that is the reason why I love it so much. The colour would compliment any skin tone.
It gives a glossy finish, which I prefer. It stays on the nails for a good 5 days. The consistency of the nail polish is quite thin, so you do need to apply at least 2 or 3 layers to get it to be opaque.
I haven't tried any other nail paints from Revlon, because I don't think I could find a better colour than this one. If I'm wearing nail polish,75% of the time this is the one I'm wearing.
It's easy to apply, although my only complaint is that the brush is rather thin and long.
The price of this nail polish is £6.49 which I think is a very reasonable price for a good quality nail polish. If you're looking for an all round good nail polish this is the one for you!

hd Brows Palette


My favourite product to use to fill in my brows! I was gifted this around Christmas time, and I have not used a different brow product since.
This palette has 4 shades of shadow in it - a white/cream, light brown, dark brown and a black. I tend to use the a mixture of the light brown and the dark brown to fill in my brows, the cream colour as a brow bone highlight, and the black as eye liner occasionally. But I can definitely confirm that all of the shadows work amazingly as eye shadows as well, as I have used them numerous times as eye shadow in my everyday make up routine. The shadows themselves are very soft and extremely pigmented, it is very clear to see that they are high quality shadows.


The palate comes with a little angled and tapered brush, I haven't used it yet as I use a different brush, but it's useful to have for travelling.
Sadly as you may be able to see from this picture, the black colour in my palette has cracked. I don't know if this is common, or if it is just me being to rough whilst throwing it into my make up bag. I can still use the black colour, it's perfectly fine to use. It doesn't bother me that much that the black has cracked anyway, as it is the colour I use the least from this palette.
I got this palette as I had heard it was amazing at filling in brows, which it is. But a lot of people purchase this product after receiving the full hd brows treatment. This treatment can be done at some salons. The treatment itself includes steps such as waxing, threading, plucking, and tinting. This treatment is growing in popularity. this palette is used on women that receive the full treatment also.
I think this palette retails for £25, which I think is expensive, but this price wouldn't stop me from repurchasing this product as it is so good. For reference I am in the shade Foxy, which I think is the middle shade.
