Happy Monday Loves! I am totally loving today's Mani Monday, OPI's "Big Apple Red". Let's take a look at this gorgeous polish down below!
Big Apple Red is a ultra classic red polish. It's not too blue & not too orange, just the perfect red!
It is a creme polish with a bold, vibrant, pigmented and rich color. It gets fully opaque in 2 coats with a glossy finish. Formula was not too thick or thin & made applying it very easy. No pooling, bubbling or streaking involved! Thank goodness for that because red polish can be very tricky to apply.
OPI's Big Apple Red will definitely suit any skin tone & will look great on long or short nails. This is truly a beautiful, classic red polish that could be worn for any occasion. Everyone needs this one in their collection!
Hi Loves! Wet N Wild has improved their iconic "Silk Finish" lipsticks. Both the formula & packaging has changed, for the better! The packaging of these are very similar to their mega last lipsticks but just a tad bit better, IMO. I purchased these at my local Superstore for $1.99 each, super affordable!!
I picked up the shades 503C Will you be with me?, 537A Blind date. 517C 15 minutes aflame & 515D What's up, doc?
Swatches on my hands below are with 3 layers each & 2 on my lips!
"503C Will you be with me?" is a nude cool toned, dusty rose. With this one, definitely make sure your lips are well exfoliated before applying or else you will see all the dry areas on your lips. All these lipsticks are quite pigmented for what you are paying for.
"537A Blind date" is a light/med. berry shade. It swatched & applied lighter than the actual lipstick bullet. This one felt the most moisturizing out of all 4.
"517C 15 minutes aflame" is a bright Spring/Summer hot pink shade, this picture doesn't do it justice!
"515D What's up, doc?" is a bright hot coral orange-y shade.
My most favourites out of the 4 would have to be 517C 15 minutes aflame & 515D What's up, doc?. I love how bright & fun these lippies are. 537A Blind date wasn't bad as well, but I just wished it applied like how the color looked like in the lipstick bullet. Although, it makes it less of a statement berry lip & more everyday wear. I found that 503C Will you be with me? is just a bit too cool toned for my liking but if you love shades with that undertone, this would be a good one!
Overall, for $1.99 each I think these new (Reformulated & Repackaged) Wet N Wild Silk Finish Lipsticks are a fantastic deal! They felt lightweight on the lips, pigmentation was great (I'd say apply 2 coats for full opacity), did not bleed, was very comfortable & hydrating on my lips. Plus, they lasted for a decent 4 hours before fading/before you need to reapply. So if you are on a budget and want a great basic lipstick that won't disappoint, pick these up!
I hope this review was helpful to you, as always thank you so much for reading. Have a great day Darlings!
Hello my beautiful darlings! For today's Trial & Thoughts Review we are testing out Dr. Morita's Sakura Cleansing Oil. I purchased it from TNT Supermarket which is a local Asian supermarket here in Vancouver. This 200ml bottle was $8 on sale & regular price is $12.
I've never tried anything with sakura in it before & when I tried this cleansing oil, the scent was a very faint/light sweet floral- nothing too bothersome. The consistency of this was not too thick & not too watery, which I enjoyed.
The packaging is made out of a cute pink plastic material & it comes with a pump dispenser.
I love how the pump reaches all the way to the bottom of the bottle so that when you are nearing the end of the product, it can easily still be pumped out. The bottle also comes with this plastic stopper which you can take on & off when in use. I think that is great especially if you plan on travelling with it.
In my demo (which you can see in the video below) I used 4 pumps for my face make up & an additional 2 for my eye make up. I wore my Maybelline color tattoo eye shadow, Majolica Majorca mascara, some eye liner, Tarte waterproof bronzer & some liquid foundation. Most of my make up was waterproof & very tough to get off.
1st step: Pump out enough cleansing oil onto palm of your hands
2nd: Massage the product in both hands
3rd: Apply the cleansing oil to your face, gently massaging the facial areas
4th: After make up has dissolved, take some warm water in your hands & massage your face. The more you massage, the softer your skin will feel.
5th: White milky consistency will appear, rinse entire face with warm water.
6th: Dry face with towel & you should look and feel clean, make up free & super soft & non drying!
My final thoughts on this Dr. Morita Sakura Cleansing Oil is that I think it is a wonderful product for removing even the toughest of make up! Especially for the price, it works beautifully & I am totally impressed. It left my skin feeling & looking soft & hydrated while really cleaning my waterproof make up off my face. It was so gentle on my skin and super easy to use & I will definitely continue to use it. Really glad I decided to try it out! ^___^
I hope this trial & thoughts review on Dr. Morita's Sakura Cleansing Oil was helpful to you. Let me know if you have any questions or comments! Thanks so much for reading!! Have a awesome day, mmmuah.
Love, Linda
