TAG - Colours Of The Rainbow

Today I am going to do a TAG to change things up a bit. I have seen this TAG floating around on YouTube and thought it would be interesting to do, plus it really gets you thinking and whilst you’re searching for colours, you may come across a product you forgot you had! You basically go through the colours of the rainbow and pick products you like that are the corresponding colour, to make it easier and more varied, the colour of the packaging also counts.

RED
Essie Nail Polish in Olé Caliente - This nail polish is described as being a red/orange shade with pink undertones, but I would say it is more of a bold scarlet red with fuchsia undertones and it is one of my favourites from my collection and the brand Essie overall. It was part of the Spring 2012 collection and I have it swatched here.

ORANGE
MUA Power Pout in Justify - I don’t know if this really counts, but it is the only remotely orange product I had other than nail polish. The actual stick of product and packaging is orange, but it looks coral when swatched but appears a light coral pink on my lips. It is a really nice product and very inexpensive.

YELLOW
Maybelline Volum’ Express The Colossal Cat Eyes Mascara - I finished this mascara a while ago but for some reason I still have the tube and a good job too. The only other yellow product I could find was a nail polish and I’ve already mentioned one. I did really enjoy using this mascara, it gave volume, length, definition and it wasn’t clumpy. It also made your eyes look kind of cat eye because of the effects it gave to your lashes.

GREEN
NYX Slide On Eye Pencil in Esmeralda - This is an emerald green shade eyeliner and it is very creamy and one of my favourites. I really like the slide on pencils from NYX in general and this particular shade is beautiful. I have it swatched here.

BLUE
Purity Plus+ Deep Pore Cleansing 2 in 1 Cleansing & Toning Lotion - This is my current morning cleanser and it definitely makes a difference, because if you saw the debris on the cotton pad, you would be surprised. I originally bought this because my Morrisons one was out of stock, but this one is just as good and it is also a toner and very inexpensive. I found it for 99p in a discount shop. The only bad thing is that where I got it from, stock changes regularly, so it will be pot luck whether I manage to find it again when I need to re-purchase.

INDIGO
Impulse Body Spray in Into Glamour - This was the only product I could find close to an indigo shade. It is not my favourite Impulse scent but it is very nice and strong, but not overpowering and I would class it as more of a night time scent. I have already reviewed it here.

VIOLET
Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion in Original - This is my most used eye primer and I love it! It is quite expensive and I am going to do a test soon against other cheaper ones to see which is better. Mine is actually in the old packaging and it has lasted me quite a long time.

PINK
Soap & Glory Peaches and Clean Deep Cleansing Milk - I use this as my everyday face wash/cleanser and it definitely does the job. It leaves your face feeling clean and refreshed and the only problem I have is that if I miss a day using it, my skin breaks out, so I use it every night in the shower unless I am using a face scrub or mask.

MULTI-COLOURED
Urban Decay Oz: The Great and Powerful Theodora Palette - This product isn’t rainbow coloured, but I have been using it a lot lately and it does have some colour in it. It comes with eight eyeshadow shades, a black eyeliner and red lip crayon. Every product is very pigmented and the tin is lovely and the biggest reason I purchased it! It was limited edition, but I think you can still get hold of it if you look hard enough.

I hope you enjoyed my written version of this TAG and please leave me suggestions below for more TAG’s.

Thank you for reading J

Perfume Power! - Avril Lavigne 'Black Star'

This is my third bottle of this perfume and in the 30ml too. The bottle is designed as a star, which has a black star shaped studded cap. Around the neck of the bottle is a studded metal choker ring, which is removable and wearable for your finger. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Blackcurrant, Mango, Pear & Black Plum Middle Notes: Jasmine, Lotus & Pink Hibiscus Base Notes: Musk, Sandalwood, Vanilla & Dark Mexican Chocolate To me it smells really light, fruity, floral and incredibly feminine. The floral notes stand out to me the most, as well as the musk. All of the notes complement each other very well and it is one of my all-time favourite perfumes. My only criticism is  after a while I cannot smell it on me, but people have said they can still smell it, so it must last longer than your nose leads you to believe! I just personally like to be able to still smell the perfume on me, because it is GORGEOUS! I will definitely keep on re-purchasi...

Colourpop Limoncello Palette

I first saw the tease of this palette on Trendmood’s Instagram and it instantly attracted me. I love the packaging and colour story, it just reminds me of summer. The design on the palette would also make a lovely and classy wallpaper pattern. This palette is part of the Limoncello Collection. THE PACKAGING The packaging is made out of cardboard, which is wrapped with a white, blue and yellow flowery and lemon design. The palette name and branding is printed in gold and the shade names are printed on the back of the palette. It has a magnetic closing, which you lift up to reveal the inside of the palette. The circle eyeshadow pans are arranged on a pale yellow, lemon skin textured base with the shade names printed above them at an angle in blue font. There is also a mirror on the underside of the lid. The mirror is inside a yellow cardboard base and it has a corner flower and lemon design on it. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get twelve 1g eyeshadows in Matte (M) and Metallic (ME) f...
