Zoya Flair

Today I have the Zoya Flair collection for fall 2015. The second part Zoya's amazingness! These metallic beauties are sure to win over your heart.
I have 2 coats of each of these polishes on in the photos below.
The formula on these were a little faster drying in my opinion. I was very pleased with them all.
These retail for $9 on Zoya's website. (<--- click here for a direct link to their site) 

Are you ready for some photos.....

The rest of the fall collection from Zoya is just as gorgeous as it's 'cream' counterparts.
I am just in awe of these gorgeous colors.
Please let me know if you grab the entire collection, which ones your favorite ones are. Or let me know which colors you pick up, if you don't grab them all!
I think my absolute fave is Giada.

Zoya Focus

I have the Zoya Focus collection for you today, for fall 2015!
OMG!!! Look at these! Zoya ahhhhhh! I'm speechless! 

These 6 polishes applied like a dream and were so amazingly pigmented! ALL of them were easy 'one coat' polishes!
Okay I will quit screaming at you now lol.
Seriously though, the formula on these are so silky and creamy. The coverage was fantastic. I think the color variety was good too.
These retail for $9 on Zoya's website (<---- click there for a direct link to the site)
Let's get into the good stuff... the swatches of the polish......

Lidia

A rich eggplant cream polish with a blackened purple base and just a hint of red to make it wearable for all skin tones.

 It is suggested that a base coat be used with this polish due to its high pigmentation.

Again Zoya hit it out of the park with this collection. I am in the with the fall collections. I am so impressed with all of them. I have been really enjoying my cream polishes for awhile now. It's safe to say that these collections from Zoya this season are my favorite.
Let me know which ones you pick up!

Rimmel Gel Liners

Today I have 2 gel eye liners from Rimmel. Rimmel is really hitting it out of the park with a lot of their makeup! I found some great gel liners that are definitely worth their price tag! These retail for around $5.99 wherever Rimmel is sold. 

Purple and Black scandaleyes gel liners w/brush 

Purple gel liner

Comes with a cute little brush 

Black gel liner

With cute little brush

Pretty good pigmentation 

These were super creamy and applied very nicely! 

They lasted throughout my full day with no smudges! 

I have to say they really hold true to the waterproof claim! I don't know about the 24hr claim..... I don't want to have to wear my makeup that long lol!!

These are really nice liners and I'm glad I have them in my collection!

Rimmel Think & Thin liner and Accelerator Mascara

Good morning! Today I have Rimmel Thick & Thin felt tip eyeliner, and Accelerator Mascara in black to show you. These can be found at mass retailers. The liner is retailing for around $5.99 and the mascara around $7.99. 

Keep reading to see what I thought! 

Rimmel Thick Thin felt tip eye liner in black

Waterproof 24hr wear!! Yes please!!

Loving the felt tip

Close up. It's shaped more like a chisel

The black is very pigmented. 

I found that the liner was very black, it did last my whole work day without any real smudging. I had a little issue with the control when applying, I just need more practice with the shape. I'm not used to it but found it pretty darn decent. I would recommend this liner! I really like it. 

Rimmel Lash Accelerator in black

OMG this stuff is amazing! I love it, and it's my new lower lash mascara love! 

No clumps, no flakes! It makes my lashes look super long!! This will for sure stay in my makeup collection forever! This mascara is a MUST!!!

Plastic brush with long separated plastic bristles. 

Love!!!

If your in the market for a new mascara, or liner I would definitely give these two a try. With a little practice I think I'm gonna fall in love with the liner!!

Rimmel Lasting Finish Primer

I have a fun little post today. I have Rimmel's Lasting Finish Primer to talk about. I was very intrigued by this product. I love primers and so I knew I just had to try this one. This retails for around $6.99.
The claims: Increases foundation wear for up to 8 hours, ultra light weight formula, minimizes he appearance of pores, evens skin tone, and it can be worn alone, under or over makeup.
Keep reading to see what I thought about this primer.

Stay Matte Foundation in Porcelain, & Lasting Finish Primer 

Lasting Finish Primer

The primer has a  white lotion formula feel, but as you rub it in, it kinda has a gel feel to it. I would say it is a light weight feel, especially after it dries. 

Stay Matte Foundation in Porcelain 

Unfortunately this was WAY WAY too light for me. If I wanted to look like a child's porcelain doll then it would be a perfect fit. So all you fair ladies (and gents) out there, this would be perfect for you. I think it did dry down to a very matte feel. I definitely will be getting my hands on the right shade for me to try this out a little more. I didn't wear mine long, only because of such a huge contrast in color with my skin.

So the bottom line on the PRIMER...

I think this is a MUST! I really do love this. I love the consistency, and feel. It did make my pores look smaller. I didn't wear mine alone so as far as the claim of evening out my skin tone, I can't say 100% but it did look a bit better before foundation application. So that's a plus. I felt like my foundation did last an extended amount of time. There are times that I wear my makeup, upwards of 14 hrs a day! So when I look in the mirror at night and see that it still looks good, that makes me super stoked! I only wore this under my makeup, I'm not quite sure how it would do, OVER my makeup, guess I am not the gutsy! 

So if you see this primer..... GRAB IT!!!
