Kruidvat deal - 29.11. - 4.12. on Rimmel

News at Di drogstore - Rimmel, MaxFactor, Essie

Di has launched a campaign to promote the fact that they now offer or will offer soon, Rimmel, MaxFactor and Essie. Is this exciting news? Yes, to a degree, but I have to say, hail Kruidvat :-)))) Are Astor, Miss Sporty, Manhattan up for consideration?

Rimmel PRO in 323 RIVIERA RED

If you are looking for a nail polish with maximum wear, why don't you try Rimmel PRO collection. I applied it before I went on holiday to sunny Mallorca and it lasted for the entire trip and it survived the sea, sand and the sun and honestly, you can't ask for more from a nail polish :-). And a tip, buy them in Germany, if possible, there they cost 3,50 EUR, here they are 6,99 EUR (Kruidvat).

Rimmel London Stay Glossy

This was a gift and I am very happy with it. This lipgloss is sheer, non-sticky, with hardly any shimmer and it smells nice, what more can you ask for in a lipgloss? :-) Love it! 5,5 ml.

Catrice 030 Meet Me At Coral Island vs Essence 067 Just Shout!

Apparently, I am on the coral wave at the moment, so after a coral lipgloss and a lipstick, the most natural complement a coral nail polish. I knew Catrice had one called 030 Meet Me AT Coral Island (2,49 EUR, 10 ml, Kruidvat). However, once I saw it in real life I found it a bit too rosy to be really called coral. (the best coral colour for me is by Rimmel 430 Coralicious, 8 ml, cca 5 EUR, Kruidvat).

It is good to have friends and Zuzka found a super shade within Essence multi dimension XXXL shine range (67 just shout!, 8 ml, 1,75 EUR, Kruidvat). I love this one, it is a very vivid coral colour, it needs really only one layer (but I always put two anyway). It takes a short time to dry and it lasts up to 3-4 days.

Rimmel long-lasting lipstick 070 airy fairy

Having watched hundreads of YouTube makeup videos, I kept on hearing about a certain perfect shade of neutral pink that is suitable for everyone. I managed to buy it in January in New York, I think it was Walgreen's for cca 5 USD (4 gr). It is however also available around Brussels, just find your nearest Kruidvat.

Pros: the neutral pink, wearable colour that finishes any makeup, the colour intensity
Cons: sweet-plasticky smell, golden shimmer in the colour, lip-drying formula

Honestly, I do not see the reason behind all the hype around this lipstick, it is like your any other cheap lipstick...hence I would not repurchase it.
