Julie G For Jessies Girl NOTD.............


Even though its grey outside (And VERY VERY wet!!) I wanted a sunshine colour to brighten up the day.
This is the first of my 3 posts featuring the lovely Julie G's polishes for Jessie's Girl.

Today We have OH ME GEE!




OH ME GEE! is a beautiful coral toned hot pink neon shade. These polishes apply absolutely gorgeously. They are so smooth and dry to a matte finish (because its a neon).
I am so impressed with these polishes, the quality is fantastic and at only $3.99 ( about £2.50) they are a steal. 
You can get hold of the Julie G polishes from Jessie's Girl Cosmetics on line. They offer international shipping at reasonable prices and a very quick service.

I cant wait to share the other two shades with you!!!!

Revlon Colourstay Gel Liner..........


I'm sure you will of all noticed the way the Colour Stay range of cosmetics from Revlon has grown here in the UK over recent months. Or maybe its just me? lol.

Anyway, when Superdrug had there 3 for 2 promotion on last month, I picked up the Colour Stay Gel liner.
I am a massive fan of Revlon, they are probably my favourite Drugstore brand here in the UK, and so I was excited to try the liner out.


The liner cost me £6.99 ( Its now gone up to £8.99, It was on offer) and comes with a handy little brush in the handle. For freshening up through the day the brush is a handy little tool for makeup bags, no mess and fuss free. 


The consistency of this liner isn't to wet, I for one am a fan of this, I find that gel liners that are much harder to work with for some reason.
The colour pay off is excellent, you get a gorgeous deep solid black line that is smudge proof and in my opinion AMAZING!!!!
I really love the formula of this gel, once again Revlon have supplied a fantastic product that lives up way beyond expectations.

However, there's always a however I know, there is a MASSIVE problem with this liner.

The Packaging. Not the handy brush, as you would expect, but the actual jar. 


The opening of the jar to be precise. 
Its TINY!!!
 The size of a 5p or a dime. Totally ridiculous and really annoying. It makes getting the actual product out of the jar far to messy, fiddly and in all honesty, a complete pain in the rear.

Its so frustrating as this is such a great product that the failings in the packaging are even more annoying.

Have you tried this liner?? Does the jar annoy you too??



Have a fab day!!!

Pop from Topshop...............


Having recently fallen in love with Topshop make up, I couldn't resist picking up this cute little powder blush.
Last year I tried out the cream blushes but my love hate relationship ( I love them, they hate me!!!) meant that it was a short lived affair.

Hopefully I will have better luck with Pop from Topshop.


Pop is a peach matte powder blush that doesn't come across chalky at all and has fantastic pigment.
The texture of this blush is soft and silky and feels far more expensive than the £6.00 price tag suggests.


I think this is a shade that will suit all skin tones, it is very buildable giving you everything from a suitable to a bold finish on the cheeks.


I have only used this blush a couple of times and I love it already. It hasn't oxidised on my skin and leaves me with a healthy glow.

Plus its delicious for the summer we will hopefully get?!?!

Some Top Shop Loveliness............


You may remember my recent love affair with the Topshop lip products that I showed you a little while ago.
Today I am sharing with you a few others that I have picked up over the last few weeks, 3 lippys and a polish.


Ice Crush

First up the polish, this is Ice Crush. Its a clear base packed full of halo glitter and larger hex glitter. Its so pretty, I love it. (I actually have this on my nails over Essies Absolutly Shore, love it!! I tweeted a picture if you want to see.)

I now have two of the Topshop glitter polishes and so far I am really impressed with them both.

Next the Lipsticks....

Charmed (Sisters of the new moon collection), Confession and All About Me.

Charmed is a peach shade, leaning towards a soft orange. It has a velvet finish to it. This colour is bang on trend for this summer
Confession  is a hot coral pink, it reminds me of a more sutile Impassioned from MAC, this is another velvet finish lipstick.
All About Me is a fuschia magenta pink. Of the 3 I think its my favourite, I just love this colour. It is a matte finish that I feel is very moisturising.

L To R
Charmed, Confession, All About Me


Have you tried any of the Topshop makeup range? Are you a fan of there lipsticks too?

What colours do you think I should try next?




My Top Lipsticks for Summer 2012.............


This summer I am loving bright & bold Lipsticks.
I decided to do a post and a video on my top 5, in the end I choose 7. As I see it tho, that's one for each day of the week.....


My 7 choices are
  • Maybelline Coloursensation Coral Tonic
  • L'Oreal Caresse Aphrodite Scarlet
  • Topshop Oh La La
  • Topshop All About Me
  • MAC Vegas Volt
  • MAC Impassioned
  • MAC Girl About Town

To see why I chose each colour and see swatches, You can watch my video.



What colours are you loving this summer???

MAC Impassioned in a gloss, Love it.............


When MAC released that there were releasing Impassioned as a limited edition Lip Glass, I knew that it was on my hit list.


Impassioned is one of my favourite lipsticks. I love the Amplified finish that it offers and the long lasting colour. For me it is the perfect hot red pink.

If you don think that you are brave enough for the full on Amplified finish then why not try the gloss.
It has all the power of the colour with a little bit more of a subtle finish. Although opaque, this gloss can be sheared out for a gentle wash of colour.


I personally have been wearing the gloss over the lippy for that extra pow, lol.

This is a definite classic for me.

Have you tried this colour???
Are you Impassioned?????
