Review! Rimmel Show Off Lip Lacquer in Big Bang


Are you ready for the Big Bang?! Cause this baby has some power! The type of power to attract all eyes on your lips and have every girl in the room ask you, "What is that lipstick your wearing!?" And your response is," It's not a lipstick it's Rimmel Show Off Lip Lacquer." *Does a Beyonce flip and walks away fabulously*

But in all seriousness, I am kicking myself for not trying this product sooner. Although these lip lacquers have been out for a few months, I have been having such a hard time finding them. I have only seen them at my Walgreens.

Big Bang No. 400 is a bright fire red that desires attention. The packaging for this product is beautiful. I love the handle. It's so modern. As for the goods inside. This lacquer has a special pump that pulls product up to signal that it has been open. (Which is great since some lip products are opened and you can't tell...yuck)

This lacquer has a creamy consistency with some serious color pay off. It has a glossy finish and wears all day. I notice that once its applied and dry on the lips it will not budge. This also feels wonderful on the lips making them fell comfortable and not drying.

If you are known to pull off a hot red lip then you have to have this in your collection! I am going to get more colors in this collection. Hats off to Rimmel!

Overall Grade: A+
Seriously one of the best overall lip products I have ever tried!

Where you can get this product: I have only seen mine at Walgreens. But check your local drugstore or major retailer that sells Rimmel cosmetics!

Physicians Formula Bronze Booster Bronzing Veil Deluxe Edition!






Hello everyone!

It is the last day of April already! Can you believe it? As soon as we know it it will be June and summer will be upon us. That means bronzers woo!

I love bronzing products because it gives me a glow that I love. I really can only wear bronzers during summer since my skin gets REALLY pale during the winter and applying bronzer in the middle of January for me just looks ridiculous.

I usually pick up one or two bronzers to try before the summer starts and use throughout the months. This year I decided to try a drugstore bronzer!

If you didn't know, I am not the biggest fan of Physicians formula mainly because it is very expensive for being in the drugstore. Some products reach $20! (Seriously?)

Luckily when I picked this bronzer up, it was 40% off since Rite Aid was having a sale. (Unfortunately, this sale isn't going on anymore but I saw that this week CVS is having BOGO 50% on Physicians formula!)





I do have to say though that this bronzer is beautiful not only to wear on my face but to just stare at it in the pan! I would say that it has a slight shimmer but it gives more of a glow than a glittery finish. 

Isn't this gorgeous?!

This bronzer has a nice powdery feel without feeling chalky and it blends beautifully into the skin. It leaves my skin glowing and it looks like I came back from a week vacation in the Bahamas!




Underneath the bronzer comes with a little brush which most Physicians Formula blushes and bronzers contain. The brush isn't the best quality and it sheds like crazy! 
Swatch isn't this pigmented?!


I would say that this bronzing product is a must have for any gal who loves to add a glow to their face. I would say however to get it on a sale since paying $15.95 is a little ridic...

Where you can get this product: At any drugstore or online
Cost of this product: $15.95
Overall Grade: A-

Hope you all enjoyed this post!

Review! Le Vernis Nail Colour in Bel-Argus 667 From Chanel's Summer 2013 Collection!


Isn't this color beautiful?

I am not a huge nail polish gal but when I first got a glance of the Chanel Summer 2013 Collection I immediately told my self "Yup this baby is coming home with moi!" 

I am a huge fan of blue whether it be the deepest of navy or a baby blue I think it is such a beautiful color. Chanel has three different nail polishes in the collection. The other two are also beautiful as well but paying $27 per polish is (Yikes!) not friendly to my wallet. 




If you have been watching my videos for awhile (http://www.youtube.com/user/BasicBeauty88My Channel) I really never wear nail polish on my fingers because I have short nails and nail polish usually chips pretty quickly on me even with a top coat. But I really was interested in getting a Chanel polish because I have heard pretty good things about the quality and and wear time.



I have worn this polish for a few days now and have gotten so many questions and compliments on my nails.




As you can see in the picture I am not the best at applying nail polish to my hand (HA) but I have tried to make an effort this year to add more colors to my fingertips!

Hope you guys enjoyed my first nail post! And the start to many more in the future! WOO!

Where you can get this product: At any Chanel counter or chanel.com
Cost: $27 (ouch)
Overall Grade: A- (Because of the price)
