Here comes the sun!

Ah sun. I'm not quite sure if it's my friend or foe!

I love the warm weather and the fact that you can leave your jacket at home, but as a very pale person who isn't too fond of extreme heat (although there's no fear of that here in Ireland!!) I'm wary of it!

I prefer to turn to bronzer if I'm going for a slightly tanned look. Except due to my paleness many bronzers look orange/brown/ just dirty looking on me. YUK.

However I may have found my new favourite bronzer. Step forward Rimmel Sunshimmer 3 in 1 shimmering bronzer in 001 Gold Princess.

 As you can see in this pic there's three shades. And they are all quite sheer and light. Perfect for pale skin!

Here they are swatched with the lightest colour to the darkest, left to right.

I had to swatch them quite heavily to even get this amount of colour! If you want a full on bronzer or if you have darker skin this probably isn't for you but for pale skinned girlies like me it's the business! :)

Now where did I leave my sunglasses...

* I'm not sure of the exact price.. around 11 euro I think for 9.9g of product so good enough.  I'll try and find out soon!*

Two out of three ain't bad...

I felt like I was in a lipstick rut.
That's my excuse for this.. lipstick binge is the only thing I think I can call it.

I went up to the counter to pay, with two lipsticks and the girl serving tells me that theres a 3 for 2 on Rimmel.. what do I come back with.. another bloody lipstick.. *Sigh* I am a disaster.

So yeah if you aren't interested in lipstick skip this post!



Here we have Moisture Renew lipsticks in 200 Latino, 600 Soft Coral and 620 Coral Queen

I usually stick with shocking pinks or nudes so this was me choosing something different!! First up is 600 Soft Coral. 7.99 euro each but like I said I got 3 for 2 here.

 I was very alarmed by the fact that this is orangey looking in the bullet. There is nothing I hate more than orange lipstick. Ugh. Thankfully this is NOT orange but more of a peachy colour. Happy out so!

 I actually quite like it on! Nice and subtle but a change from nude.

Next is 200 Latino.

 This is a cool toned deep pink. I didn't expect it to be as pigmented as it was to be honest. It delivers quite a lot of colour and it's quite a dark pink. I'm not sure if this picture exactly does it justice..

Regardless I like it. I think I'll be keeping it for nights out though!

Last and eh least for me anyway is 620 Coral Queen.



Sorry about the blur!



My camera sort of failed me at this point. I just couldn't get it to capture the colour on my lips very well.. Anyway,I really am not liking this colour. It looks like a red-orange to me on my lips. Maybe it's the fact that my skin is paler than pale and the colour just really stands out but I don't think I'll be coming back to this!

But two out of three ain't bad, huh? :)
