rimmel vinyl gloss

Ive been meaning to blog about this for probably over a year. Ive never been a huge lipgloss fan, but last year I went through a lip faze and wanted to try everything. I had never heard anything about the Rimmel Vinyl Glosses, but the colours looked really nice so I went on a whim and tried this one. The shade is Be Famous and is a beautiful coral. 

The formula of these are lovely- not sticky, not frosty, just lovely. The colour is kind of sheer, enabling you to build up a bright lip or have it for dimmed down if your not. The past few months ive been really loving coraly pink colours, so this is perfect.
As someone who doesnt wear much gloss, these are probably my favourite of the surprisingly big collection that I have, this colour in particular. I recommend this colour to fellow coral lovers, perfect for summer time. I otherwise definitely recommend the line as they have many other beautiful colours to choose from and are only around the $6 mark.

May Glossybox

This months Glossybox is all about summer prep. I was quite impressed with my box actually, receiving a little something from every category. Hair, skin, body and makeup-whats not to like about that! Now lets see what I got in my box.

Sebastian Professional Volupt Shampoo  Full Size ($15.78)
Volupt shampoo contains cushioning particles to provide a volume boost and soft touch, with natural bamboo extract. Shampoo is safe for colour treated hair, which is a must for me in a shampoo. Honestly, this shampoo couldnt have come at a better time. I had just ran out of my Joico shampoo, so ive gotten a few uses out of this and so far im liking it. Even though I have thin, fine hair, volume is not something I target towards in a shampoo. As I said before, I aim towards something thats going to help retain my colour. This does however smell really nice and leave my hair soft, as well as give some volume which is a nice added bonus.

 Curel Foot Cream  ($3.99)
Curel says this will significantly improve the look and feel of even the driest heels and feet in just two nights. Infused with shea butter, coconut milk and vitamin e, this cream absorbs quickly and has a nice light scent. As a lover of shea, I instantly loved this for the scent. 

Simple Refreshing Facial Gel ($9.99)
Simple is a UK brand that has been brought over recently. I was quite excited to receive some of their products in my box as I had been wanting to try some of them out. Their products are targeted towards sensitive skin. This cleansing gel leaves your skin thoroughly cleansed and revived, containing some of purest skin-loving ingredients.
I was pleasantly surprised with how much I liked this cleanser. Ive never really found anything that actually made me want to wash my face. This cleans my face without leaving it feeling tight or dry, but instead smooth and refreshed. I will definitely be buying a full size of the when ive finished my sample.
 
Simple Eye makeup remover ($9.99) 
Another Simple product. I was intrigued  to try this, even though I already have an eye makeupremover that I love and have no intentions of switching from. As I said in my empties post, I have sensitive eyes- oils and remover wipes make them burn like crazy and made me hate removing my eye makeup. As this istargeted towards sensitive skin, I thought I might enjoy this one. It is said to effectively remove even waterproof mascara. The other day I went away for the weekend and brought this instead of my usual remover to give it a try. I dont know if it was because I didnt have any cotton pads and had to use tissue, or the fact that this stuff just doesnt work well, but I spent probably about five minutes trying to remove my mascara and eyeliner- not even waterproof. I was left with bits of black around my bottom lash line and extremely dry under eyes. I was very disappointed in this, and dont know if I will even finish the sample.

Iman Lipstick Full Size($16.00)
I received the shade red, which is said to be suitable for everyone. Its supposed to be a long lasting lipstick, while conditioning and moisturizing for the lips. I havent tried this out other than on my hand, so I cant really tell you much about this. It does seem like a luxury product retailing at sixteen bucks, so I do have high hopes for this.
 

Zoo!

Last weekend I went to the Toronto zoo with my boyfriend, his brother and his girlfriend. It was scorching out which made the day feel really long and uncomfortable, but overall it was quite fun. I snapped a few photos of the animals. A lot of them didnt turn out too well as they were taken through glass, but I thought I would share a few with you!

Empties #2

Joico Colour Endure ShampooIve been using this for a few months, and this is my second bottle ive been through. It has a nice scent, something I cant describe, and is designed for colour treated hair. I really only used this because I use Joico colour on my hair as well, and while it seems to help with fading slower, I feel like there's probably something out there that's better. I recommend if you dont have a difficult colour such as red, like myself.

Arbonne Clear Advantage Acne Wash
Ive had this stuff forever. I dont really have bad skin in general, let alone acne, so im not really sure why I had this in the first place. On a mission to finally use it up, I left it in my shower so I could use it on my back. Tmi on the body acne maybe, but there are lots of people that have the same problems and ive never seen anyone talk about it. There wasnt a whole lot left so I cant really give my two-cents on this, but it doesnt dry the skin out and has a nice mild minty scent.

Blistex lipbalmThis is another ive had for a long time, but love. Im weird about products I like, never wanting to use them up. Which is odd, because obviously once I use it I can just buy a new one, but I dont do that. But anyways, this is probably my favourite lip balm ever. It moisturizes the lips really well and has a scent that I love. I have no idea what this is called because ive had it for so long hat it rubbed off, but you should be able to tell by the packaging.

Avon Moisture Effect Eye Makeup Remover
This is my holy grail eye makeup remover. I seem to have sensitive eyes, because any wipes and oil removers burn the hell outta my eyes and leave a film on my skin. Not pleasant. Ive been using this stuff for probably five years and have never once thought about trying something else. I wear a lot of mascara and dark eye makeup,and have no problems at all removing it, quickly and with no pain. I recommend this to everyone. Avon also has them on sale for $.99 quite often so you cant really go wrong!

May Favourites

Vichy Thermal Water
I use this as a refreshing spray after ive applied my foundaion. It helps with my makeups appearance, as its been very dry lately, keeping it from looking cakey and clinging to dry areas.

Mac Strobe Cream
 I only have a sample of this right now, but plan on buying a full size soon. I use this as a highlight along my cheekbone and down the nose. I like it because it isnt as noticeable as most highlighters are, which means youll only see it when light hits it.

Taylor Swift Wonderstruck Perfume
Ive done a post on this earlier in the year, you can see that here if you havent already. ive been wearing it pretty well everyday since I got it for xmas, bt have been loving it more lately as I feel its a nice scent for this time of the year. In my opinion its a warm fruity scent, nothing sickly sweet. My boyfriend also loves it, which is always a plus!

Revlon Lip Butter in Creme Brulee I've been enjoying using this because it moisturizes the lips and gives a nice nude colour at the same time. The colour works well on my fair skin tone, and has been my go to lip colour.
