Tiny Drugstore Buys

So while I attempt to do my urban decay naked palette (which is proving difficult because I want to give you a good range of eye 'looks' but I never get the time!) I just want to update you on a couple of little things I've received for my birthday! (on the 18th) and when I say 'couple' I really do mean it. There really isn't much i'm just bored because no one is home and I like posting.

This is the Max Factor trio eyeshadow in the colour I dont even know because it DOESN'T SAY?
the Rimmel lasting finish nail varnish in 'black cherries' and last of all because this is a teeny tiny list- Rimmel lasting finish lipstick in heather shimmer!

so we start with the eyeshadow

I think the colours look just so pretty and adorable inside the case but I don't know, the swatches aren't as visible as I would of hoped and the colours aren't that pigmented- or maybe i'm just comparing them to the Naked palette too much?

I applied this using my fingers because that's what seemed to work best? I actually do like the highlighting colour quite a lot and the fact it has a tint of pink is really nice and a bit more girly. Also I want to mention that somehow the amazing Max Factor has made it have a slightly fruity smell which I think is lovely! (excuse my eyebrows i'm growing them out! believe me they look loads better than they did all little)

so overall its quite a cute little trio and I am quite interested in what other colours they have but its not something I would go out of my way to buy.

then one of my favorite things of recent, Rimmels lasting finish nail varnish!

This is one I took just now- 24 hours after the one on the left

I don't know why i love this colour so much but i really do. Its not a colour I've usually worn and it just matches my skintone so perfectly and feels very sophisticated and dark. although I do have to mention it smells foul which is fairly normal for a nail varnish but I still feel the need to comment on that and it comes off and chips very easily as you can see. So yes that's a down side and can get very annoying but i'm sure you can find this plumy colour in most ranges so it shouldn't be a problem. To summarize, LOVE the colour, HATE the annoying chipping!

and finally the lipstick!

The first thing I have to say about this is how beautiful it smells. It has the most adorable fruity smell its difficult not to just eat it. Onto the normal things you would mention about lipstick, I think the packaging is nice and simple and I have actually fell completely in love with the colour- its so nice!

Tt has a nice little shimmery effect which (when on) makes your lips look very healthy and moisturized but isn't too shiny or over the top. if I suited/could pull of lipstick I would most probably wear this every single day. so yes lipstick lovers- I highly suggest this little lovely!

let me know what you guys think about that and if you like these products yourself!
