Nails Inc Paint Can | Review

I always love buying new nail varnish, I definitely own too many! So when I saw the Nails Inc Pain Can (here) I decided I had to get it.  I'd heard about it ages ago and as I'm so impatient when painting my nails I thought this would be perfect for me. 

There are 6 shades to pick from and I went with Porchester Square.  I decided not to get the base and top coat as I have one from Barry M which I love! I was so excited to try this so when I got home I applied my base coat, waited for it to dry and then went ahead and put the nail polish on. 

I hated it, haha.  I have no idea if its just me but it looked awful.  It was uneven and just did not look nice.  When I bought it the lady said it should give me a sort of airbrush effect, but that is definitely not what I got! I waited for the first coat to dry and then put another on in the hope that would fix it.  It didn't. Anyway, I put the top coat on and waited for it all to dry so I could wash off the excess around the nails.  

I thought this would be really easy and the nail varnish would just wash away.  Nope.  I was basically scrubbing my hands for half an hour and there was still some nail varnish left on my skin.

Eventually it all came off but then within about a day, my nails were already chipping so I just decided to take it all off because, well, my nails just looked horrendous really. 

I've never been so disappointed in a product! It is definitely more hassle than its worth.  I'm not sure if its just me that this has happened to, but either way, I won't be purchasing this again.  Its just so messy and takes so much longer than normal nail varnish.

Let me know if any of you have tried the Nails Inc Paint Can and how you found it! 

A Little Update

I'm sitting here typing up this post and, if I'm honest, I'm not sure why I am sharing this with the internet haha.  I don't even know how to make this post make sense!

At the moment, I don't think I have ever felt so low.  I am waking up every day feeling like crap and not wanting to do anything.  I just want to lay in bed and forget that I exist.  Sounds a bit dramatic but its true at the moment and that really sucks.  As you can see, there haven't been many posts on here recently.  I've just lost all motivation with it and if I'm honest, I'm not sure if I even like blogging any more.  I am not happy with my blog one bit.  It makes me upset that I don't enjoy blogging as much any more and I am really hoping that it is just because of how crap my mental health is at the moment.

I've managed to isolate my self from most of my friends which has made me feel even worse.  I do it every time I get down like this and I hate myself for it every time because I know I shouldn't do that. I've probably now lost most of my friends because of that haha.  I miss them though and I miss talking to my friends made from this blog.  I've barely been on my Twitter so I haven't spoken to them!

I could honestly go on and on in this post about the way I'm feeling and how bad my anxiety etc. is but I'll leave it there because I feel like none of you even need to know this but sometimes its just nice to get out how I'm feeling.  I've still been getting views on this blog though which makes me happy so thank you to those that still visit! This isn't the end of my blog, I'm just going to have a break from it to try and get myself back on track with life and hopefully start to enjoy blogging as much as I was before.

Hopefully soon I can look back on this post feeling much more happier :)

Thank you to all of you for sticking with me through this time, I'll be back soon x

Makeup Revolution Palette Iconic 1 Review

I am always hearing people talk about how good the quality of the Makeup Revolution eyeshadow palettes are, but for some reason I have just never picked one up.  So, the other day I popped into Superdrug and I finally bought my first palette from them.  I got the Iconic 1 (here) as I love gold shades and this palette just looked SO pretty.   Also, it was only £4! Can't get much better than that.

I can't believe I've waited this long to pick up a palette from them.  This is the prettiest eye shadow palette I own! The colours are so pigmented and blend like I dream. 

I've included some swatches, but these definitely do not this palette any justice!

I really love this product as you can probably tell! I 100% recommend it so if you are on the hunt for a new eyeshadow palette, definitely look into this one or another from Make up Revolution!

On another note, I'm so sorry I haven't blogged for a long time.  I've been having a really crappy time with my mental health so blogging has been the last thing on my mind, even if I do love it.  Thank you for the people that have still continued reading my blog though, its much appreciated! Hopefully things should start be more regular on here now as I'm starting to feel a bit better :) (making no promises though haha)

Review | Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation

Its no secret, if you read my blog, that Estee Lauder Double Wear is my all time favourite foundation.   However, I am almost running out and I can't actually afford to keep buying it so I have been on the hunt for a new drug store foundation with a full coverage.  I am pretty sure nothing will give me as much coverage as double wear, but being a student without a job leaves me with little money haha.

I've heard lots of good things about the Rimmel Lasting Finish foundation (link) and since I loved the Wake Me Up foundation, I thought that trying a new Rimmel foundation could only be a good thing.

I'm very pale so I have it in the lightest shade, Ivory, and it matches so well.  The foundation blends so lovely and the coverage is amazing.  It covers up my spots and blemishes really well and that makes me very happy! What I love about it as well is that it doesn't feel heavy on my skin.  Sometimes I find that the Estee Lauder does, but this never has.

Surprisingly enough I haven't actually kept it on for 25 hours (who would?! haha) but it has lasted me so well for a days wear.  I find it gives me quite a dewy finish which I really love as my skin is quite dry.  I just use the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder so I'm not really shiny but I'm still left with a finish I love.

I know this a bit of a short review, but I think I've covered all points.  If you are looking for a new full coverage foundation, I definitely recommend this!
