Two Lipsticks..

Took these lipsticks from my mums makeup bag
Shhhh

- Mac's lipstick in Touch (a lustre finish)
- Estee Lauder pure colour long lasting lipstick in Fig

Top: Estee Lauder
Bottom: Mac
I love these two colours.
They're completely different from the ones i own
Especially the mac one. If you dont know by now, i L O V E lustre finishes.

Anyways i just thought i'd share.
I'd never seen someone talking about 'Touch' so you know i was curious when i saw this.
I would defo recommend!
even just go to a mac counter store and swatch it. 
i think it would look nice on any skin complexion :)

NOTM + a dip ;p

OMG MY NAIL BROKE! 
but you can hardly tell (well thats what people have been telling me)

*random thought: why cant this blog be my report?. i can so do 2000 words on beauty related products. hufffff

Anyways what i currently have on my nails is.. Rimmels 60 seconds polish is '619 pulsating'



And i like it. I think im going to buy more colours from Rimmel now. :)
Oh excuse the messy application, i fixed that up after i took the pictures cos i know if i left it i would've forgotten


Oh + after college today i took a peak inside lush and got one of their lip scrubs. 
(For one of our modules at college, we have to adapt a product or come up with a totally new product, and we decided that ours would be a lip scrub, so you can call this research! lol)

I would defo recommend this product.
Yes its £4.50 but you only, well i only need, like the tiniest amount to put onto my lips for a good scrub.
And i am certainly liking this flavour! something about lemon just appeals to me!
I defo want to try the mint one though, cos i heard it gives that plumping effect.
I know i said that you'll only need the tiniest amount, but the expiry date for mine is Jan2011. and that seems close!
So new year, new scrub :)
WATCH THIS SPACE lol

HELP


My trusty seche vite is nearly gone!
Like i have to literally tip the bottle upside down to get the brush like dipped?
i aint good at explaining! lol. but you get the idea. right?

Ive tried many topcoats, even got the sally hansen diamond shine one, but it doesnt compare to seche vite, now the point of this posst.. 

cheaper alternative? pleaseeee
in the back of my mind, im thinking i cant go back. not after my trusty seche vite is there a topcoat just as good as seche vite but without the hefty price tag?
com'on UKers. i need one desperately
