This one is a bit of a cheat really, because I've really only paid attention to the reviews on the brand, rather than the shades. A couple of weeks back I was aimlessly testing out Dermalogica skincare in my local pharmacy when I noted a whole rack of Essie just hidden behind it. Queue me going politely nuts and scouring the rack for "Watermelon", a shade I've drooled over one too many times in Boots, and bee-lined to the cash-point. I am now a fully self-confessed Essie convert!!
Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer
Next up, I want to talk about Rimmel Apocalips Lip Lacquer. I stumbled across a post one day on The Glamour Nazi, talking about these highly pigmented, glossy offerings from Rimmel. At the time, I glossed over them (haha, geddit?!) and didn't pay them much heed... Until I found myself standing at the makeup section in Boots one day, and it was 3 for 2 across all make-up brands! I swatched one on my hand, and was smitten! I immediately snapped up "Big Bang", the red shade, that I've now miss-placed (stupid redecoration project!!) and yesterday I got the bright fuchsia shade "Apocaliptic". Thanks, Dani, for planting the seed in my head!
So what products have you bought based of blogs and vlogs? Have you ever bought anything based off one of my blogs?? What is your favourite purchase to date, as prompted by an online review?

I wasn't that impressed by Apocalips, but definitely one I bought purely because of blogger hype!
ReplyDeleteI bet if you asked everyone who owns one, at least half of them, if not more would probably say blogger hype was a defining factor in their choice! We're so impressionable!!
DeleteThat's funny - a lot of us taking part in #JuneBBC have included Rimmel Apocalips in this post!! I personally really dislike them, but I think opinions are split 50/50 - to each their own!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit, I hated Big Bang at first, but if you blot it, its fabulous! Apocaliptic is nice both ways, full on high gloss, and blotted.
DeleteI just remember everyone tweeting about apocalips and feeling the need to join... :P Whoo you're wearing your nail wraps, they look good! So handy you have essie in your local pharmacy x
ReplyDeleteI actually removed them late last night, they were lifting and creasing... They're brilliant, but only for one or two days! I adore the Apocalips, even thought I see everyone else hating on them, I'm there like "Hey, they're not all bad!!"
