Nails Inc in Bluebell for InStyle

Oh, I love free products so much! Thank you InStyle for this gorgeous gift!
Bluebell is beautiful pastel-ish blue with a tiny bit of purple undertones. Love it. I think it is lovely! The packaging is fine; with silver top, which is big and rounded – typical for nails inc products.

The nail polish is quite easy to apply; the texture is very creamy although on the thick side. Two coats is more than enough to achieve opaque finish. The brush is okay, it is not the best one I used but it is not the worst one either.
The finish is shiny and very smooth. It does not take ages to dry. It started chipping after 3 days, but remember I do chip my nails quite easily so you might get better result, especially with a top coat.

L’Oreal Color Riche Nail in Ingenuous Rose


L'Oreal Ingenuous Rose (2 coats)
Ingenuous Rose is a sheer pastel dusty shade of pink. The packaging is quite cute, as it is small and handy. And I love the golden top I think it makes it look more elegant.
Ingenuous Rose is easy to apply, the texture is great and this shade is not streaky at all although it is quite sheer but it is very buildable so you can achieve an opaque finish with two or three coats depending on how much product you apply. The brush itself is great. It’s wide, nicely rounded and it fits the nails just perfect (meaning that you don’t have to put a lot of effort to apply to every corner of you nails).

The finish is very shiny and creamy although it took quite a while to dry completely (maybe because is gel based?). The lasting power is about 3 days with a topcoat but bare in mind I do chip my nails quite easily so some people might get better results.

Urban Decay Super-Saturated High Gloss Lip Color In Punch Drunk



Punch Drunk is one of seven available shades of High Gloss Lip Color from Urban Decay. I must say I first fell in love with the brand when I bought some of their eye shadows. And now I love it even more for their beautiful Super-Saturated High Gloss Lip Colors. 
Urban Decay Super-Saturated High Gloss Lip Color in Punch Drunk

I chose Punch Drunk as I thought it was a great colour for the summer and it especially would go well with a bit of tan – what we all wish for during the summer months! I would describe it as spicy orange – an orange shade with a hint of red. Punch Drunk is a very bright, completely opaque and shiny lip color with a bit of shimmer in the formula. It’s not as shiny as the title suggests (high gloss) but it’s definitely on the shiner side (more like a shiny lipstick than a lipgloss). It’s very soft and feels creamy when applying to the lips. It’s not as enjoyable as new Revlon Lip Butters (look below – I totally fell for them) but it still feels lovely. The colour pay off is absolutely great (same when it comes to their eye shadows!) and it stays on for quite a while – about 4-6 hours.
I think the closest high-street match I own is Collection 2000 Lasting Colour Lipstick in Orange Punch except the fact that it’s slightly lighter and less red. It also isn’t shimmery.

Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter in Candy Apple, Tutti Frutti and Sweet Tart

 From left to right: Candy Apple, Tutti Frutti and Sweet Tart


I was really excited about these Lip Butters, I sooo couldn't wait for them to show up on the shelves and finally, they are here! Yeey!
The packaging looks very summery: it’s colourful and stylish. It’s easily recognisable as it features the Revlon trademark, which is quilted design on the outser case. It also matches the shade of each lipstick. I decided to pick three shades:
Candy Apple is a very, deep shade of red in the bullet but it slightly more orange-y when swatched. Not to say it’s orange red but it is definitely not as deep as in the bullet.
Tutti Frutti is a bright shade of orange in the bullet but when applied it’s less orange and more coral. A beautiful shade for the summer – will look great with a bit of tan!
Sweet Tart is a bright, candy like pink that comes out to be slightly less bright and less pink when applied to your lips. Still, the colour pay off is great! Another great shade for the summer, which I will definitely be wearing!

The texture of Revlon Colorburst Lip Butter is very silky and creamy (like the lip butters should be) so they are very comfortable to wear. Honestly, these are the most comfortable lip butters/balms I’ve ever had. Can’t stop wearing them! The colour intensity is very much like a lipstick with a creamy formula. It’s not massively pigmented like an average lipstick would be but it's definitely not sheer and I absolutely love this! They look totally beautiful on lips, very shiny and healthy. The lasting power is about 2 – 3 hours and I am more than happy to re-apply the lip butter after that time because they are so comfy to wear!
