Summer Nail Polish Picks

Summer for me means bold and bright colours, so in summer I tend to stick to neons and creme finish polishes rather than glitters. Here are a selection I plan on getting a lot of use out of this summer!

Revlon Lash Potion Review

I have been trying out both the regular formula and the waterproof formula of the Revlon Lash Potion mascara recently.

NOTD: OPI Life Gave Me Lemons

This is my first foray into the world of yellow nail polish, and a daring one at that. Life Gave Me Lemons is from this year's OPI neon collection, which I currently only have in the mini's but after testing them out, am planning on buying a fair few of them in the full size. This yellow is a bright neon, highlighter yellow, though it does have a slight lime green undertone in certain lights. I was worried this wouldn't suit my skin tone, but I am so happily surprised by how this looks! I'm in love!

For those not in the US or North America where OPI is fairly easy to get your hands on, I would definitely suggest looking on Amazon and ebay, it makes them so much easier (and cheaper) to get your hands on!

Body Shop Vitamin E Cool BB Cream

For a long time, the Body Shop's Vitamin E range has been one of my favourites, and recently I've been trying out the Vitamin E Cool BB cream. This product retails for £10, and is available online and instores.

I've tried it a few times now and can't manage to work into my skin so it looks nice. I find that once applied it sinks in and exaggerates the pores and lines of my skin, and leaves my skin looking patchy. I've tried applying it with my fingers, my real techniques stippling brush, and also the expert face brush, with the same patchy result each time. It also seems to almost ball up along the jaw and hair line instead of blending out. Not a good look!

I've also found the colouring of this BB cream to be off, it appears very orange, even on my currently more tanned skin, and can't be blended out to make it more wearable. 

Overall I was really disappointed my this product. I'm such a huge fan of a lot of the other products in this range, especially the intense moisture cream, so this was such a disappointing product.
