Rimmel THRILL SEEKER Glassy Gloss Review

Rimmel THRILL SEEKER Glassy Gloss Review

Hi Divas

Lip gloss is usually one of the first cosmetic products a young girl will own when introduced to cosmetics. For me, lip gloss brings back such nostalgic memories of when I was a young teen. Whipping out a lip gloss from my bag or pocket made me feel pretty, girlish and confident. Rimmel brought back all these wonderful nostalgic and sentimental feelings for me when I tried their new Thrill Seeker Glassy Gloss. Instead this time I have evolved from those pre-teen giddy feelings to confident girl boss energy. These lip glosses are fun yet exude a bold panache. The glosses promise plump, hydrated lips all day with a glassy shine. I am usually a matte girl but I love a good glossy shine occasionally to pizzazz my makeup looks.

Rimmel's Thrill Seeker Glassy Gloss has a caring vegan formula, infused with hyaluronic acid and antioxidants. These boost moisture for instant hydration. Some gloss products can be drying throughout the day, but Rimmel has secured our lips with moisturised ingredients for a soft pout. There are 13 shades to choose from depending on availability in your country. I tested 3 new shades in 100 Coco Suga, 500 Pine To The Apple and 600 Berry Glace. Each lip gloss has its own unique juicy scent. It's a mixture of fresh summer fruits with the sweetness of sugar. It smells like a fruity Popsicle on a hot Summers day. The scent is playful and makes it a joy to apply and wear throughout the day.

The lip gloss comes in an amazing 10 ml size. This is almost double than most competitive brands on the shelf. The doe foot applicator is huge and plush for a seamless application. I love that I can cover my lips in product with one swipe without double dipping. The plush applicator picks up a lot of product in one go. This is super convenient if you are in a hurry and want a quick touch-up with minimal effort. The texture of these lip glosses is a 10/10. The formula is non-sticky and feels so comfortable on the lips. It is definitely hydrating and delivers a glossy shine. The pigmentation of the shades is pretty and subtle. They are not too overpowering which makes them perfect to wear on their own or as a topper.

My favourite lip gloss from this glassy line is 500 Pine To The Apple. The scent is warm and inviting. It smells like sweet candy apples on your lips. The milky pink shade is perfect to pair with a pink lip liner or as a glass topper on your favourite pink lipstick. I love this one as my everyday gloss to look put together and chic with little effort. The lip glosses wear wonderfully through the day and I only need to reapply after I eat. My lips feel moisturised, and look volumised and plump. If you are an avid lip gloss girly or want to try something new, do give these a try. You won't be dissappointed.

Thank you so much for reading!

Wet N Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Megalast Incognito Concealer Megalast Lock N Shine Review

Wet N' Wild

Color Icon Eyeshadow, Megalast Incognito Concealer, Megalast Lock N' Shine Review

Hi Divas

The Festive Season is here and I have 3 amazing products from Wet n' Wild to help you create the perfect party looks. Whether hosting a Christmas dinner, getting ready for a New Year's party or enjoying a festival concert out of town, these products will glam up your holiday style. Wet n' Wild is a wonderful brand that should not be slept on. Their cosmetics come in an array of colours, shades and innovative trendy designs. There is always something for everybody when it comes to their makeup range. A woman can never go wrong with a little sparkle on the eyes or a pop of colour on the lips to add extra glamour. You cannot forget a touch of concealer to obscure those unwanted blemishes too.

Wet n' Wild Color Icon 5- Pan Eyeshadow Palette

These nifty eyeshadow palettes are the perfect size to pop in a cosmetics travel bag and do a quick makeup look on the go. It has all the colours and texture combinations to create a versatile look. I have the palette Camo Flaunt which has warm-toned shades of matte camel brown, rose gold satin, reddish-toned pressed glitter, metallic silver sparkle and a deep matte brown for depth. As you can see in the swatches below, the shades are pigmented and have a great formula. They are not chalky at all and they blend really well. The glitters and sparkles do need a sticky base to adhere to. I suggest using a concealer or eyeshadow primer as your base and pressing the glitters onto your lid with a finger for precise application.

Wet n' Wild Megalast Incognito Concealer

The Incognito concealer comes in a variety of shades and has medium to full coverage. The matte formula has built-in moisturising ingredients such as Shea Butter and Mango Seed Butter. The texture is lightweight and blends out seamlessly giving a natural finish. It is an excellent everyday concealer that covers under-eye circles and blemishes well. Even though it states that it is matte, the formula is not drying at all. It is a perfect combination of durable coverage and creamy consistency. The product is a true hidden gem as most consumers spend a fortune on this type of coverage. I love to use it on my eyelids to even out my skin tone and provide a tacky base for eyeshadows to adhere to.

Wet n' Wild Megalast Lock n' Shine Lip Color

This is a dual-ended lip colour with a pigmented colour on one end and a high shine gloss at the rear. Ingredients include Vitamin E, Jojoba Oil and rich antioxidant Passionfruit Seed Oil. The two in one lip combo has a radiant colour and comes in many shades. I have the shade LA Pink. The product has a built-in brush applicator on both sides making for easy and mess-free application. The formula is buildable, long-lasting and very comfortable to wear on the lips. It has a non-sticky texture and feels hydrating throughout the day. I generally only touch up after I eat. This is a budget friendly lip duo that gives great pigmentation and a glossy shine.

I absolutely love the look I created with these Wet n' Wild products. This is glam on a budget but gives luxury results. My absolute favourite product used was the eyeshadow pan. The shades are versatile and fun to use. All the products are great on the wallet and have excellent coverage and pigmentation. Quick and easy makeup looks are now within reach. Let me know what your favourite products are from the brand down below.

Elie Saab

Elie Saab Girl of Now Forever Perfume Review

Elie Saab Girl of Now Forever Review

Hi Divas

My favourite perfume designer of all time is Elie Saab. If I could own every perfume he produced I would be in absolute euphoria. There is an essence of the Elie Saab perfume collection that resonates with me. The Girl of Now range has had me in a chockhold since its inception in 2017. Unfortunately my favourite from the line, Girl of Now Shine has been discontinued, but I hold onto that bottle like it is my prized possession. I have never received so many compliments on my scent as when I wear the Elie Saab Girl of Now range. People always stop me to say I smell good, or insist on asking me what fragrance I am wearing. It's a hidden gem that I am not gate-keeping any more. There is a specific DNA of the Girl of Now range consisting of sweet, fruity, vanilla, woody and nutty notes. The perfumes are not light but have a weight to them that encapsulates their alluring power and longevity. Elie Saab Girl of Now Forever is a fun sweet and fruity version compared to its charming predecessor.

The main accords in Girl of Now Forever are fruity, sweet, citrus, vanilla and almond. This burst of sweet sugar along with the zesty fruity scent reminds me of classic summer mocktails on a warm afternoon. Picture yourself in a pretty floral dress, at an all-girls garden party with a sparkling punch in your hand, and the warm breeze of Summer blowing through your hair. That is exactly what this fragrance epitomizes. Top notes consist of Rasberry and Lemon Peel. Middle notes are Almond, Blackcurrant, Rose and Orange Peel. Lastly, base notes consist of Vanilla, Patchouli, Musk and Cashmeran. It is a blend of warm sunshine and citrus delights.

The bottle is in the classic Girl Of Now design to distinguish it as part of the line. The pretty flower petals iconic to the bottles are now in a fun shade of pink, with the rest engraved in gold including the cap. The bottle has some weight to it as it is made of glass, but it is easy to handle and fits snugly in the hand. The perfume juice is clearly visible in a pinkish-orange hue. The packaging is playful yet luxurious at the same time. It would truly give your vanity a pop of glam when displayed there. The spritzer provides a fine mist that distributes evenly across the body. It does not squirt too much perfume, and the quantity can be easily controlled.

The longevity of the fragrance is a solid 6 to 8 hours on the skin. It starts with a strong burst of Rasberry and Lemon accords. Later the sweetness starts peaking through and it settles into a beautiful feminine and fruity scent with a hint of vanilla and almond at the bases. The scent wears wonderfully throughout the day and the smell still lingers after 6 hours. The perfume's longevity wears much better on fabric as your clothes still have a lovely whiff after a few days. I absolutely adore this fragrance in Summer as it is the perfect blend of sweet, fruity and almond in a bottle. It's delicious, bright and feminine.

Have you tried this fragrance or any of the Girl of Now additions? Let me know below.
