Rimmel Traffic Stopping Shadow Review

The other day I picked up the Rimmel Traffic Stopping Shadow in '006 Sharp Turn' - the reason for this was because it was reduced, since then I have used these colours a lot, my fav of them all being the lightest one for the highlight. I have to say that I was not keen on the black, although it is very pigmented it is very hard to apply and blend, does not have the best lasting time and is also not a great colour for my eyes, I prefer a brown. The middle colour which is meant to be used as the base is not very pigmented at all which was a shame as I was looking forward to this colour, although it could be used as a highlight. The last pinky colour for the highlight is the best colour in this small palette its very easy to apply, not noticeable if you mess up the application and also that is the perfect highlight colour for my complexion. 

The little applicator that comes with this product if of course again silly and useless, I really wish they wouldn't include these in palette as a brush is so much better as well as these making the palette look ugly and this one just flys around the palette and is very annoying.




These are them swatched however I had to apply a lot to make the second two noticeable, which might not be the best option to quickly apply on the eyes, for a day look. However if you are wanting to spent a while building them up on your eyes, I am sure this palette would be fine.
That is all I have for today, the weather is still amazing so it is giving me the opportunity to take a lot more pictures and to post more at this blog, I have got my benefit lipsticks ready to post as well as some shoe posts maybe. We shall see as I have a lot of products I would like the review on here, I hope everyone is having a nice summer! See you soon!!

sunny days are fun!

Wanting to get back into blogging again! The sun has been in the sky with his hat on the last couple of days, which makes me have a rather large smile on my face. Today has been spent relaxing and making chocolate chip muffins with my mum. Yesterday was spent with my brother going to the tramlines festival as well as the cinema to see 'Dark Knight Rises' which I have to say was an amazing film. I suggest you see it if you have the time.

I am wanting to get into reviewing more products as well as making sure I post the review here on the blog, so far I have had this blog quiet a while and yet I still think anyone knows that it exists.  That being said it's nice to have a little place to escape from and express my feelings, without having lots of people judging me and writing anonymous comments that are rather rude.


Weather that you have to wear sunglasses is always a good sign, as well as getting a little tan on my pale skin, which of course doesn't hurt (unless I got burnt eeek :/) saying that though my mum always makes me wear sun cream and stay protected!


Tomorrow I start my new work experience placement and on saturday I have a full day of work to do as well as I need to do a lot of work for my last year at sixth form. Which I have to say I am exited to finish and move on and go to university, meet some new people and see what else is out there.

Looking forward to going shopping this holiday and seeing a lot of friends, not going to any place special but I am sure to have a relaxing time in England. Hope everyone else has a nice holiday! See you all soon!
