NOTW: China Glaze Sea Spray

Good morning my lovelies :) Here's a quick NOTW post while I'm having a break with my studies. Since I've been so busy (tomorrow I have my third final exam consisting of Haematology and Transfusion Medicine), I haven't had much time to do nail art but a couple of days ago, my latest China Glaze polish arrived in the mail :D actually my bf bought me this one :)

Sea Spray is a gorgeous greyish, dusty blue with a subtle pearly shimmer and is part of China Glaze's Anchors Away Collection released earlier this spring. I'll leave you to some pictures :)

How's that for colour blocking? ;p

Review: Eyeko London Lips Lipgloss in Knightsbridge

Hello there my lovelies :) I just had my first exam yesterday morning. It was a bit harder than we expected so let's just hope for the best and that the ones to follow are not as hard :s Next up is Microbiology this coming Thursday but it's one of my favourite subjects so I think I will be OK with it :)

So, anyways, on to the review! I got this Eyeko lipgloss for free when someone used my ambassador code for the first time (for reference, it is E10484 and you can use it with purchases of over €18... and by the way, shipping is free worldwide!)

It comes packaged in a thin shrink-wrap plastic and you will notice the sweet smell of it for sure! With regards the colour, I think it is very suitable for my skin tone but it will also look good with any skin tone as it comes on pretty sheer. I don't know if you can actually see it in the pictures but there are little silver shimmer particles going on all through the gloss.


The actual tube is really cute (hence the brand lives up to its name... Eyeko means cute in some oriental language if I'm not mistaken) adorned with symbols that are synonymous with London. It is a squeezy tube and has a slant applicator end... perfect for when you're on the go and don't have a mirror with you.

This gloss is a bit on the sticky side but I overcome the stickiness by applying a thin layer of Vaseline on my bare lips and then proceed with applying the gloss.  Consequently, this has average staying power and you will need to reapply it during the day.


The Eyeko London Lips Lipgloss range is Limited Edition and you can get yours from the Eyeko website for €8 per lipgloss. Remember to use my code E10484 for your free gift with a purchase of €18 or over :)

Review: Rimmel Extra Super Lash Lash Building Mascara in Black Black

Hello lovelies how are you all doing? Finally the sun is up again and shining over here after we had dreadful rainy weather this morning and yesterday! Today I've been up since 6am (!) so I can finish up a couple of subjects of which I have an exam next Monday and Thursday. Soo, since it's been quite a long day, time for a little break and a review for you all!

As you can tell, I will be reviewing a Rimmel mascara which I have been using these last couple of weeks after my elf one dried up (I have actually been using the elf mascara for somewhere round 5 months and I will be repurchasing it soon and do a full review about it. If you want, you can read a mini-review here).

Back to the Rimmel mascara... I quite like the packaging of this one: black, sleek and silver writing.

The wand is your standard mascara wand, no fancy materials or shapes but it starts wide at the base and tapers nicely to a slimmer tip, enabling you to cover all lashes and not miss a single one.  In fact this is the catch of the 'Lash Building' part... this mascara is suitable for both natural and the more built, dramatic looks.  On a personal note, I quite like how it makes my lashes look all defined and long.  The formula is just the right amount of wet and doesn't take long to dry. So far, I have never experienced clumping with this mascara. This mascara is opthalmologically tested and is suitable for people with sensitive eyes.

I'm wearing this mascara in these photos

What is different than other mascaras, is the expiry date of this mascara... 12 months!! I'm very curious to see how long this mascara will actually last!

With regards price, I'm not sure how much it retails for exactly but I think it's around the €4 mark. Pretty affordable since I never got the point of spending €12 or so on a mascara that you will actually throw away after a few months!

Overall, I really like this mascara and I guess my wallet will have the suffer the consequences cos I will definitely repurchase!! 

Have you ever tried this mascara ladies? Thoughts?
