Revlon Nail Polish Collection ♡

Hi everyone, my name's Rhin and I'm a nail polish-aholic. 
I have a lot of nail polishes, and I have to say that one of my favourite nail polish brands is Revlon. I feel like they last a good amount of time on my nails, they dry quite quicky, they're super glossy and very opaque and there are heaps of super pretty colours. I feel like they're just an overall amazing range so over the past year I've collected a fair few to say the least.

I'm gonna show you guys my collection so that if you're looking for a specific colour or want to see how these nail polishes look when they're actually on nails, this might help you :) 

Just as a side note, I messed the order of them up so the order I wrote the names down is the order of the actual nail polish bottles from right to left :)

Huge Drugstore Makeup Haul ♡


Surprise surprise, it's another haul. This is quite a biggun so bear with me here haha. This was not purchased all in one go, this is everything I've bought since my last makeup haul ... yeah, I know I know, I just ... I need help.

 face 

♥ I'll start with BB creams. I got this one from Garnier which I also featured in my July favourites*. I loooove this so much haha.

♥ I also picked up another Collection concealer in Warm-medium 3 which is also in my July favourites.* 
♥ I also got the Rimmel stay matte powder. This is perfect for keeping your makeup on your face all day. I highly highly recommend this, I have mine in 001 transparent so it's perfect for all skin tones.
♥ Next is foundations. I wanted something that would be very light on my skin that would just make my skin look a little bit better without being heavy so I picked up the Revlon Nearly Naked. Once again, I have two because the first one I bought in 150 Nude was WAY too dark and made my face look orange. So I went back and got the one in 120 Vanilla which is perfect for my skintone. They're amazing foundations if you want something that's very light.

eyes 

♥ I picked up a Nyx jumbo eye pencil in 614 Lavender. These fade a bit on me, but the colours are gorgeous and for the price they're quite good. And they have a maaaassive range of colours :)
♥ I got two Revlon eyeshadow palettes. First one is 010 Sweet innocence and I really freaking love this! It's nicely pigmented and lasts a long time on my lids and doesn't crease. It has six different colours which are all fairly neutral except for one dark purple and I've just found this very very handy. The other one I got was 585 Sea mist. They're both super good quality :)
♥ I also finally hopped onto the band wagon and got a Wet n Wild trio palette. I got the one called Walking on Eggshells in 380 and oh my goodness, this is SOOO GOOD! It's so pigmented and buttery and extremely velvety and easy to blend and lasts ages and doesn't fade or crease and wow. It's so incredible, and it's also really really cheap! If you haven't tried these yet then what are you waiting for!
♥ I also got a Revlon Lash potion mascara. I got this mostly because I was attracted to the packaging haha, it's a decent mascara, there's not much to say about it. It does the job and makes my eyelashes black :)

lips 



♥ I got two of the Revlon matte balms (never one to miss a trend), one in 205 Elusive which is a beautiful slightly medium pinky shade, and one in 230 Complex which is a browny- orangy nude. I really like these chubby stick things, they last a decent amount of time and the colour payoff from these is soooo good! They're also super creamy and not drying at all considering they're a matte balm. I really highly recommend these :)
From left : Revlon 205 Elusive, Revlon 230 Elusive, Nyx Pure
Red, Revlon Juicy Papaya, Revlon 820 Pink Cognito
♥ I also got two more lipsticks from Revlon (whoops). I got the Revlon lip butter in 027 Juicy papaya which is a gorgeous coral orangey peachy pink colour. These are so super moisturising and they're quite sheer, I'd say they're halfway between a lipstick and a lipbalm but I've just really been liking it and their colour selection is huge and you have to go and try one haha :)
♥ I also got a Revlon super lustrous lipstick in 820 Pink cognito. It's a pink with slight golden shimmer in it, but it's very very sheer.
♥ Last but not least I got a Nyx matte lipstick in Pure red. It's a beautiful cherry red colour and they have heaaaps of different colours to choose from. The pigmentation in these is INSANE. They last super long on my lips and like the Revlon matte balms are not drying in the slightest even though they're matte. I just really really like this and I have to look into getting more of them :) 

I hope you guys enjoyed this haul and
hope I've helped in some way and that I didn't buy too much ... I'm sure I'm not the only one that buys a ridiculous amount of makeup. Right? *nervous giggle*

Ciao xx

July Favourites ♡

July has gone sooo quickly that I almost can't believe it! August promises heaps of awesome new memories, but it also promises a monthly favourite. I've never done one of these before, but I've been thinking about doing one and I've loved so many things this month I just couldn't help myself. So here goes nothing.

Batiste original dry shampoo 90g, Collection Lasting
Perfection concealer in 3, Garnier BB cream in Light
I've been loving the dry shampoo from Batiste, I'm quite lazy when it comes to washing hair, so I spray this onto two or three day old hair and it does wonders. I have the original and the scent is quite strong, but if you don't mind the smell this is a great product to have and it makes managing your hair a whole lot simpler :) If you're from New Zealand, you can get this from most places but it's cheapest at Warehouse. 


I've also been loving the pink-a-dot BH brush set, I got them earlier this month and they're very soft and I've just been reaching for them a lot. If you want to see photos I did a whole a blog review post on them :)

I've also really been loving the BB cream from Garnier. It's dewy, and lasts a long time on my skin and has decent coverage for a BB cream. It also smells good, is very moisturising and easy to blend into my face and I've just really been enjoying using it. 

I've also been loving the original chapstick from Blistex. It has saved my lips this month and it's the most amazing thing I've ever put on my lips. I've been using it for two or three weeks and my lips have never ever been this hydrated. I did have it, but I've lost it so I'll insert another photo of it instead haha.

And possibly my favourite thing this month has been the Collection Lasting Perfection concealer. If you watch youtube, basically ever beauty guru has raved about this concealer and for good reason too. It's incredible. It has high coverage and it lasts all day and it just .. ah. It's so amazing I cannot say enough good things about it.

Last favourite is a TV show. It's not a new series or anything it's actually quite old. It's Frasier. I've been binge watching it over the past few weeks and I'm not ashamed to admit that I own all 11 seasons and that I've watched most of them twice now. It's funny, extremely well written and witty and I've just really really been enjoying watching this haha :) If you're looking for a new tv show I highly recommend this one. My favourite seasons are the fifth, sixth and tenth. 

I hope you guys have enjoyed this post and let me know in the comments what your favourites this month have been :) x 
Ciao xx
