Review: Revlon Colorstay Gel Envy Nailpolish

It's rare and cherished occasion when I get to do my nails. To be honest, I loathe spending time on my nails only for it to be chipped a few days later. Needless to say, when I heard about Revlon's ColorStay Gel Envy nail polish, I was intrigued. Not only was the colour selection something that caught my attention; the diamond top coat stood out for me as well.

I recently bought two of the colours and the top coat. They retail for about R110 each but, trust me when I say it is worth it. I chose colour number 410 (Up the ante) which is a beautiful purple hue and number 240 (Dealer's Choice ) which is an amazing turquoise colour.

Both colours are so vivid and the colour pay off is stunning. For me, two coats of nail polish and a coat of the daimond top coat usually works well. After a week the colour still remains bright which is important to me.

This nail polish and top coat are really hard-working and it took me a while before I noticed any chips. It's safe to say I will definitely be purchasing a few more colours. If amazing colour payoff and longevity is your thing, I suggest you invest as well.

Number 420 (Up the ante ) on my nails.

Have you used this nail polish?  I would love to hear from you.

TILL LATER, LAUREN!

Review: Maybelline's Define -A-Lash mascara

Happy Friday everyone!

I have spent the whole week trying to adjust to and survive the cold. As much as I love the idea of winter; the reality of it seems less ideal to me. Nevertheless, I did discover a new favourite mascara this week and I am extremely keen to share a short review with you.

After purchasing Maybelline's Define-A-Lash mascara quite a while ago, I decided to give it a try this week. I have to admit, this mascara ticks all the boxes for me. From the packaging  to the texture: and most importantly the brush.

Since my lashes are on the short side, I prefer a shorter brush. The thin, flexible brush is perfect. The bristles grab even the shortest lashes and lengthen it to the point where they look like false lashes (I have been asked). The non clump texture makes for an easy application. Even the packaging gets my vote. The green tube looks modern. Overall, I am delighted by this mascara. I'm definitely repurchasing.

What about you? What is your favourite mascara at the moment?

TILL LATER, LAUREN!
