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! - Taylor Swift 'Wonderstruck'

Photo: HerWorldPlus.com I actually received this as a free sample size (1.2ml), but I decided to do a review anyway, because you get enough of the scent to be able to give it a proper review, like you would a bottle size. * Click here to see what the sample looks like * The bottle design looks very pretty and definitely something I would love to have. The charms around the neck also look lovely, but MissBudgetBeauty bought it in 30ml and it didn’t have the charms, so the charms must be exclusive to the bigger sizes, which is a shame seeing as though I tend to buy 30ml, unless I really love the scent. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Freesia, Green Tea, Blackberry, Raspberry & Apple Blossom Middle Notes: Vanilla, Honeysuckle & Hibiscus Base Notes: Musk, Sandalwood, Amber & Peach It does smell really nice and not as young as you would expect, it reminds me of a fruitier Loverdose by Diesel, without the liquorice. I can smell the peach, raspberry...

Review: Rimmel Wake Me Up

Wake Me Up Foundation I bought this after seeing the advertisement for it on Rimmel’s Facebook, and I thought the description sounded perfect for me. The packaging is made of glass and it has a curved shape, with the Rimmel logo and product name printed in the centre on a bit of plastic tape. The cap is a slanted block shape made of plastic and it is a bright orange colour with glitter sparkle. This product has an orange plastic pump, which dispenses the product. All the relevant information is printed on the back, like most products. It is also packaged in a plastic wrapper, with a security tag. This product is marketed as a foundation that “instantly reawakens skin, with a healthy, radiant glow”. It is also mean’t to be light weight and give a poreless and flawless complexion. It also contains SPF15 for sun protection and illuminating pearls, which is mean’t to give your face a natural glow. It is also mean’t to “bounce your skin back to life” and banish the signs of fat...

Perfume Power! - Avon 'Femme'

I recently started looking at the Avon catalogues again and I saw this perfume had a test circle. Whenever I see the test circles, I just have to rub them! I tested this perfume and I instantly wanted it, plus it was on offer with the matching body spray and lotion. The bottle is clear glass and is inspired by diamonds. The cap is clear plastic and is a squared diamond shape. It has a regular perfume spritzer, which is silver to blend in with the clear cut look. The fragrance notes are:- Top Notes: Pink Grapefruit, Plum & Violet Middle Notes: Jasmine, Wild Orchid & Magnolia Base Notes: Amber, Peach, Wood & Musk I really like the bottle because it is beautifully simple and you can see how much liquid you have left. The cap is not very secure though because it just sits on top of the spritzer, which means it can easy fall off in your bag. The spritzer is very easy to use and it distributes the perfume evenly in a concentrated mist. The scent I would say...
