Catrice Cosmetics - ICONails Gel Lacquer - 05 It's All About That Red - Nail Polish



A nail polish from the June Glossybox!

This is a high-shine, fire-engine red which requires more than one coat to be opaque.



It claims to last 7 days  without a top coat... I'm going to give it a big test and wear it under my dish gloves for 9 hours of work (with the heat from an industrial dish-washer)!



And it was destroyed immediately!

Price: 5/5 ($4.39 for 10.5mL)
Scent: 1/5 (don't sniff it, normal nail polish smell)
Effectiveness: 2/5

Revlon - Ultra HD - Matte Lipcolour - Love


This is my go-to colour to wear at work. 
(It may seem a bit bold for work, but trust me, it really works)

This is a true fire-engine red, not too blue or orange.
It isn't what I would call a true matte as it keeps some shine.
I'd call it a satin.

Science Fiction, Double Feature!

It has a really good colour intensity, lasts at least 6 hours (with eating), isn't drying, and does stain a little. 
(Which I like, I always want to hide my blue lips. I don't have anaemia, my lips are just often blue)

A swatch!

Just know that the container is a bit frosted, so the shade that goes on your lips doesn't look like it does from the bottle.

It also has a faint vanilla cake smell, which is nice!

Price: 3/5 ($23.95 for 5.9mL)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5
