Rimmel Natural Bronzer





NARS Laguna has always been my go-to bronzer, however it's quite a splurge to me. So I have also been eyeing for some drugstore bronzer alternatives. This Rimmel Natural Bronzer - Sun Bronze is the medium dark shade from the collection. It doesn't have shimmer like Laguna. I can't say it's an ultimate alternative of Laguna, but it works very well on bronzing my cheek bone. It's not very dark, giving a more natural sun tanned look. Bronzer can be tricky if I choose the wrong shade, so I have been going online to check on the actual shade of the product. I prefer to use this one in the day time since I am not so tanned in this summer. Save my Laguna for night time out or some occasions.
                      


Rimmel Natural Bronzer in Sun Bronze, £5.59 from Boots. ASOS also arrives it for free worldwide shipping

Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer: Luna






Rimmel released the new collection of Apocalips Lip Lacquer this summer. I have been eyeing them for weeks. Since I have quite sensitive lips which are sometimes allergy to fragrance lip product. I have been very careful to every lip products I used, try not to irritate my lips. I am so happy to announce Rimme lip product is an official NON ALLERGY to me.  





Luna is the first shade I love, a creamy peachy shade. It still has s hint of watermelon smell, I bet it's a signature smell of Rimmel lip products. It covers my lip colour very well with 2 light sweeps.It gives a good moisture to the lips, also a natural peachy lips. If you want a good bright lip colour, 2 good sweeps will do the job. It's good for both day time and night time, depends on how you want to carry it on. It isn't a so dramatic colour, so it's good for work too. I'd love to try Bigbang too, like to try some red lips lately. :) 

This lip gloss was bought in Boots for£5.99, and also available in ASOS. I have to admit I really really like Rimmel lately, can't wait to try out some of their products.

Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick







This is my first attempt to try Rimmel lipstick. It's not easy to get my hand of Rimmel in Hong Kong. This is Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in shade 107, a deep burgundy  colour. To me, I rarely wear red lipstick. I know I am quite conservative, since I stepped out of my peachy comfort zone. This is my very first burgundy  lipstick. It has a hint of watermelon smell. to those who likes some fruity smell like me, it definitely a plus. I got quite a lot of compliment when I wore it to a night out. I do recommend it to my friends. It looks quite flattering for a night out.






This lipstick was bought in Boots for £5.49. For those who doesn't live nearby Boots, Rimmel is also available in ASOS for worldwide free shipping. It sometimes has a great deal on multiple makeup brands in ASOS. Do keep an eye on them!

Summer Nail Polish Essential






The most often nail polish I used in last month are China Glaze and BarryM. China Glaze is always my favourite nail polish, but lately I added BarryM to my collection.

China Glaze - Lemon Fizz
I have been eyeing for a good pastel yellow nail polish until i find this baby. Don't have to worry the coat would be too thin. Two layers would be good to go! Give a fresh daisy look to your nails.

BarryM Hi Shine Gelly Effect Nail Polish - Papaya
I know I know... There are many raving review about the Gelly Nail Polish and this special colour Papaya. Peachy colour is a popular recently, both in fashion and beauty. The Gelly Nail Polish gives a jelly texture, don't require of top coat. No clipping to me. It stays good for 5 days. This peach colour is one of my favourite.

China Glaze - Pool Party
My Pool Party has been my summer favourite for two years. The down side may be the matte finish which require a top coat. The colour is hard to put on at first, I tried to put 3 coats for fist couple times. After few times of practices, two thick coats are good for me. While its neon collection is such a rave lately. But I may not repurchase this again, if I can find an alternative one. This shocking pink is still adored.

BarryM Hi Shine Gelly Effect Nail Polish - Green Berry
Green is always my favourite colour. How can I miss out my Green Berry in this summer. I always look for any good green-blue nail polish. This colour reminds me of green apple. It looks good on any skin tone. :)

It's time to enjoy my precious nail polis time. ;)

China Glaze is available in Cher2 Nail Polish Shop in Hong Kong for HKD$70 each. I got my BarryM in  Boots for£3.99 each.
