Makeup Review: Kate Moss for Rimmel London

I went into Superdrug the other day, and the new line of Kate Moss lipstick caught my eye. I swiped a few colors on my hand, and instantly fell in love with pretty much all of them. For someone who is normally incredibly picky with lipstick, this was a miracle (it wasn't until later that I found out its the new matte collection and suddenly it made sense why I loved it so much). So of course I splurged a little and bought four of the five from the collection - the last color didn't look that great on me.

From left to right, the shades are 111, 107, 101, and 110. 111 is a gorgeous bright coral red, 107 is more of a berry red, 101 is a nice natural pink, and 110 is a beautiful coral pink. What I love about these shades is that none I them are too bright, which is perfect for someone like me who wants to expand out from just plain natural pink but who isn't ready for something too crazy just yet. And of course because they are part of the matte collection they don't have any shimmer in it, which I love because I hate shimmery things on my lips. The quality of it is smooth, and for the price it's definitely worth it. Be warned though, they will rub off and transfer very easily to clothing or hands. All in all though, a great purchase. 

And as an added bonus, the cases are incredibly cute.

Love,

OPI Nail Polish Collection

I'm a bit of a nail polish fanatic - I paint my nails all the time (honestly its very strange if my toes don't have some sort of color on then hear round) and I love picking up new unique colors. One of my favorite brands is OPI, because of their multitude of colors and fun names. OPI is constantly producing new colors and limited edition collections, so I can always  find something new from them. 

In total, I have 21 various shades of OPI, and I love pretty much every single one of them (there is one exception, which I will elaborate on later).

The first first five nail polishes in this row are very dark, so they don't pick up well on camera. The far left is called "To the Glitter End!" and is a glittery black polish that is a part of the permanent Sephora by OPI collection. The next is called "Siberian Nights" and its a gorgeous deep purple. After that is "Here Today... Aragon Tomorrow" which is a dark green, and two more from the Sephora collection, "Go My Own Way" and "Absinthe Makes the Heart" which are a shimmery blue and olive green respectively.

Next in line is "What Wizardry is This?", a dark sparkly gold liquid sand polish from the OPI Oz the Great and Powerful collection. It's limited edition and still available, so I recommend buying it because it is gorgeous and will not be here for long. Next is "No Spain No Gain", followed by "Cha-Ching Cherry", "I Have a Herring Problem", "Tiffany Case" (another James Bond liquid sand one) and "Mad as a Hatter", a sold out polish from the Alice in Wonderland collection a few years back (and probably my favorite of the bunch).

Continuing with the names, we have "Do You Lilac It?", "Traffic-Stopper Copper", "Second Honeymoon", "I Theodora You", "Gargantuan Green Grape-Matte", and "Stranger Tides". The only OPI that I regret buying is the "I Theodora You" because it is literally the exact same color as "Second Honeymoon". 

Finally, we have "Stranger Tides" (accidentally put it in two photos, sorry!), "Neutral Beauty", "Only Gold for Me", "Cartwheels on the Catwalk", and last but not least "My Boyfriend Scales Walls".

I recommend any and all of these OPI nail polishes, and even all the ones I don't have. The colors and names are fun, and the quality is good, though to be honest most drugstore nail polishes are almost the same quality, but the OPI polishes have a wider brush that doesn't lose hairs the longer you have it.

Happy nail painting!

Love,

Caro
