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

My Eye Primers: The Verdict!

It has taken me a long time to put this altogether, but I have finally done it! I decided I wanted to share my thoughts on eye primers I had tried and it turned out that I had ten, so I thought I would test them and find out which one worked best for me. I have split them into two categories (High End/Low End) and I aim to rank them from #1 to #10 on which is the longest wearing. Let’s look at the primers I will be testing. HIGH END URBAN DECAY PRIMER POTION PRICE: £17.50 SIZE: 10ml SHADES: Original, Anti-ageing, Freebase, Eden, Fix, Minor Sin, Sin and Caffeine APPLICATION: Squeeze tube without a nozzle, but also has a sponge stick applicator PROMISES: Non-creasing, gives you vibrant eyeshadows WHERE TO BUY: UrbanDecay.co.uk (UK) & Sephora (USA) I like to think that this primer is my favourite as I love the packaging (purple is my favourite colour). It is potion bottle inspired and it is the first primer I remember ever seeing and wanting. The packa...

Perfume Power! - Next 'Paradise'

I first smelt this perfume after receiving it in a mini gift set about ten years ago and I have loved it ever since. This 100ml size is my first bottle of it though, other than the tester/sample size. The bottle is quite tall and it is a sort of clutch bag shape if you turn it on its side. The bottle is a simple design and you can easily see how much perfume you have. On mine the spray pump sometimes gets stuck in the band around the neck of the bottle, but the problem is easily solved. I can’t find a specific note list anywhere for this perfume, but on Next’s site it is described as, "a light fruity fragrance with white florals and green notes". To me it smells really fruity and fresh. It is also multifunctional because it is quite strong and sexy, so perfect for a night out, but it is also not too overpowering and smells fresh and fruity enough for day time wear. It is actually an eau de toilette, which means that it is less concentrated, but I find that it is st...
