Rimmel Oh My Gloss

Hi lovelies! Today I have a few of the Rimmel Oh My Gloss lipglosses.
I really had a blast with these. The lipgloss states it has up to a 6hr. staying power and I have to say that's pretty gosh darn true. I was very pleased with these and can't wait to get some more. The color selection is great. The glosses have a bit of a light perfume smell, but disappears very quick. These weren't terribly sticky. They do have some stick to them but that comes with any long wearing lipgloss. These retail for around $5.50 at Target! 

Stay My Rose, All Night Long & Go Gloss or Go Home

So tell me what you think! I really like these and can't wait to get my hands on more!

.....a little Rimmel

I have a handful of Rimmel products to share with you today. From foundation to eyeshadow sticks. 
I tried out the Rimmel Lasting Finish 25hr. foundation and paired it up with the Stay Matte pressed powder for a nice all day matte look.
I really was impressed with the foundation. I know lots of people were raving about it and now I understand why. I surely didn't test it for 25hrs straight (there's no way I could stay awake that long if I tried) but I did get about 16hrs in and I will say that it held up amazingly. It has a great semi-matte finish by itself. I didn't see any breaking down. Didn't feel cakey but had awesome coverage. I did blot just once but I think I did it because it's routine and don't think I needed to. Lol. The foundation retails for around $7 wherever you find Rimmel products. 
The powder is a matte finish and does exactly what it says. It keeps you with a soft matte finish. The pressed powder retails for around $4.
Together these two are an amazing combination.

c.Booth Brazil Nut Rum lotion

Hello beauties! I have a fun, quick little post for you today. I received a coupon voucher to choose a free product complimentary by Influenster for a c.Booth product of my choice. 
After much debate and a pretty good amount of time in Ulta smelling everything I could possibly get my hands on, I chose the 4-in-1 Brazil Nut Rum lotion! 
I have to say this is the most amazing smelling lotion in the world! Hands down the absolute best smell I have ever smelt! I would love to have an entire line of body wash, shampoo, conditioner, candles, body spray, air fresheners..... Well you get the point! 
The lotion itself is very lightweight and absorbs into my skin pretty fast. I felt very moisturized and my skin felt smooth afterward! I would definitely repurchase this lotion in a heartbeat! Trust me I will as soon as this bottle runs out! It's a great buy. 
I got mine from Ulta and I hear Rite Aid sells c.Booth as well. It was $9.99 from Ulta. Next time your there don't hesitate to pick up a bottle or two!

Zoya MatteVelvet

Today I have Zoya Matte Velvet collection for winter 2015.
This collection is such a fun, colorful collection. It's just a breath of fresh air, and really makes me get in the holiday mood.
I wanted to post this before Halloween because of how great these colors are, but then I decided not to. I wanted to save all of their glory and show them after so they didn't get passed up for not being "fall" colors!
The formula on these are a great matte velvet that requires NO topcoat.
The coverage was really good. I have 2 coats of each polish on, in the photos below.
I did add a topcoat to my pointer and pinky nail so you could see how amazing they look shiny as well!
Hope you enjoy!
