Lively Lilac // Rimmel Lasting Finish NOTD

Lately I have been loving lilac in all of its forms, and most of all adorning the tips of my fingers! I bought a few of the Lasting Finish shades when I hauled polish a while ago, and my favourite from the lot is definitely this one. Lively Lilac is a creme two coater that goes on easily and is the perfect spring or summer shade to brighten up fingers without being a neon. For some reason I adore lilac or periwinkle shades right now, and think they flatter most skin tones from pale (like me!) to deeper complexions.

What nail shades are you loving right now?

Do you wear lilac on your nails?

For someone who isn't really 'into' nail polish, I sure have a shed load of the stuff!

Target had $4 off Rimmel products, and I realised that it brought their I <3 Lasting Finish shades down to $1.95AUD. I snapped up 5 colours that I adore, and can see myself getting a lot of wear from.

Lively Lilac, Disco Ball

Misty Jade, Hot & Spicy, Strawberry Fizz

So many beautiful shades for less than $10!

I am a huge Essie fan, and was elated to see the Resort Collection mini cube on sale for $5 at my discount chemist. China Glaze were also on offer, and I was good and only chose two shades.

I love the Essie formulation and they seem to have shades that I find really wearable. They are fast becoming my very favourite nail brand!

Your Hut Or Mine, Fair Game, Lion Around, Da Bush

Snow Globe, Secret Peri-winkle

These two shades are right up my alley, I have a few blues like this and adore them all, so was happy with my choice. Snow Globe is one that I have always loved the look of, and I never regret buying glittery top coat sort of shades as you can practically wear them with everything!

Let me know which shade stands out to you most, and what swatches you would like to see and I will be sure to fast track them.

*These were purchased by me. Honesty, always.

this past week

This week I've been rocking OPI From A to Z-urich on my nails, playing matchy-matchy (without realising it!) with my new wine coloured scarf. I'm about to paint my nails with some new Rimmel goodies, Lively Lilac with an accent of Disco Ball! My lips have been rocking Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Boy at work as I'm trying to say sayonara to the shade, but I've also been loving the new Chanel Rouge Allure Extrait De Gloss in Troublant.

 I've been spraying Urban Rituelle's Cotton Candy fragrance all week long, my boss and my mother have tried to nick it so far, it's such an addictive scent! I'm excited to be almost at the end of my Rimmel Match Perfection gel-cream foundation and my NYX blush in Peach, I've already arranged the blush replacement but am not letting myself touch it until Peach is all gone! My beauty issue this week has definitely been my flaky forehead, it makes it hard to wear foundation and hydrating masks aren't helping. Does anyone have a solution? And finally, the beauty product that has been giving me butterflies all week is my Kiehls Midnight Recovery eye cream, which is just so lovely I could cry.

Now please, make my day and tell me YOUR 'this past week' in the comments below!
