FEEL: Out the door topcoat review

Forgive me my last product review was on nail polish, and yes you guessed it, it’s going to be another nail polish review, soon enough I’ll be talking about my nails just as much as my hair posts, but I mean I’m sure you all love doing your nails so this review is going to be a goodie.

Alright so I shop a lot so most of these blogs start off with I went to my beauty supplier, because I literally see her every week because I work near there okay and like I said in my Look at all this stuff blog I’m going to stop spending so much but only on the things I already have.  I can still buy other stuff. Hehehe.

I originally wanted to get some OPI top coat because they sell it for a good enough price I suppose. The thing was she ran out of OPI nail polish well the top coat and I was like but whyyyyyyy (obviously because people bought it) no I mean why as in why when I want to get it, they don’t have it, but she introduced me to this other top coat called…

Out the Door

Out the door topcoat

OMG would it be bad for me to say that it’s almost as good as OPI but maybe even better?

Let me give you guys some reasons..

1. It dries SUPER FAST! Think superman fast when he’s flying or whatever. 45 seconds and it’s dry, second coat? Go for it!
2. Durable like you wouldn’t believe, day 5 showed my friend my nails and she’s like wow did you get them done and I’m like no I did them myself and what a compliment, it looked so good that she thought a professional did it. That and it’s only started chipping on my pointer finger on my left hand.
3. And of course with any top coat there’s that high shine that we all love, and yes it so does that as well.

Will definitely be buying this and rebuying it, it’s that good.  Oh and did I mention it only costed me $7.95.

By the way let me explain the picture, unfortunately she didn't have the actual little bottles to sell, only the massive ones, so she transferred it into an empty nail polish bottle, I mean they are a wholesaler/retailer after all.

Dear diary: Compliments go a long way

I think no matter who you are, compliments go a long way.  You could be the most confident person out there or even the shyest, but we all love receiving that little bit of attention which can make you just feel great about yourself.

It doesn’t matter what they compliment you on, it could be what you’re wearing or your makeup or your new hairdo, it gives you that instant pick me up and makes you feel great about yourself.

So I think ladies, give someone a compliment every day it could just be your mum or sister, a friend, a stranger if you’re working in retail like me, little things like that can really make a difference to somebody.

You never know.

Dedicated to my beautiful friend who’s been dealing with depression. Just know that things will get better.

Look at all this stuff!

Okay that’s it ladies and gents. I officially have too many beauty products. And don’t be like you can never have enough beauty products, but uhh I think you can.

I have no idea what’s gotten into me lately maybe it’s called growing up, but I’ve started to really think about the money I spend and what I spend it on and if I really need something, sooooooooo what I’m trying to say is I need to stop being such an impulse buyer.

Okay yeah so what I work in retail and you would think that you would know the tactics on how they sell a product but I just can’t say no sometimes and just buy something because I really want it and don’t NEED it. I don’t like making people feel sad that they didn’t get a sale out of me. I could be their only sale that day, think about it like that. (not likely the case, but you never know) I’m a you never know kind of person, you know? Alright this is getting confusing even for me and I’m writing this.

So as part of becoming a smart buyer instead of an impulse one, I am going to finish all these beauty products before I invest in another beauty product.

Impulse buyer like me? Let me know what one product you have way too much of.

Alright so, here I have like a million trillion creams and lotions that I currently own (some have been untouched, some are almost finished.)

I am not kidding you these are all mine. This was when it hit me that I had too many products because I had nowhere to store these on my makeup table.

the creams and lotions for soft skin like a baby's bottom.

So here I have:

  - Kenkay skin relief sorbolene cream  (1kg of that, but i don't care best product ever)
- Escada marine groove body lotion

- Sudocrem
- Palmer's cocoa body butter

- Palmer's cocoa butter formula

- nutrimetics botanicals green tea body lotion

- Solace mineral spa body butter
-Solace mineral spa body lotion

- Vaseline intensive care lotion in aloe vera

                                                                                                
  I wasn't kidding when I say I  use A LOT of different brands.

Next up we have the day and night creams:

The day and night creams

- Nivea creme

- Nivea soft

- Aveeno positively radiant daily moisturiser

- Aveenooooooo positively radiant tinted moisturiser

- Garnier miracle skin perfector BB creme

Then over here we have my facial cleansers, yes I use more than one,  I want to give every beauty product out there a chance

The daily cleansers

- Formula 10.0.6 Best face forward daily foaming cleanser

- Clean & Clear essentials self-foaming facial wash

-  Shiseido The skincare rinse off cleansing gel

- QV gentle wash

Lip care, who doesn't own some sort of lip balm, no matter how tom boyish you are.

And because our lips need some loving too, I stocked up on more than a couple of these

- Vaseline white petroleum jelly style

- Ultraceuticals professional ultra lip protect

- Nivea lip care in cherry (my favourite of all time and it's almost finished)

- Blistex silk & shine

- Lip smacker in gum ball galaxy ( taking it back old school to when these were the coolest)

- Chapstick ( I just love the name for this brand) I have a slogan for it, want to hear it?  Chapped lips? Have no fear chapstick is here.

I vow that I will do my very best at using up all these products before I purchase any new ones, but no promises.

And don't even get me started on the makeup products.

Beg to differ: Lipstick vs Lipgloss

Lipstick is a powerful thing.

That is all. Thanks for reading my blog post today. =)

I’m just kidding I wish I could only say a few words and post that up, never going to happen.

So first of all YAYYY, you're reading my first post for one of my many ideas that have been on my wall waiting to be used, BEG TO DIFFER, which will be about looks that sort of, kind of work, but maybe don't and also products that you prefer but maybe others won't.

So let's get down to business, LIPSTICK vs LIPGLOSS

Which one do you prefer?

I personally hate lip gloss only because it’s sticky and when the wind blows your hair sticks to the gloss and then your hair gets sticky and it’s just a sticky mess.

So overall, sticky.

Lipstick on the other hand I LOVE! I love how the colours are matte and the different shades there are and even just wearing a statement lip can completely transform the way you present yourself and give you those instant beauty points.

Pros and Cons time.

Let’s start off with lipgloss.

LIPGLOSS

THE GLOSS

Here are the pros..

•  It gives your lips that plumper, fuller look
•  They make your lips look so kissable, but that’s bad too because who wants to kiss with lip gloss on. Gross. They should put a label on all lip glosses. Caution: Not good for kissing, illusion only.
•  Some glosses contain sunscreen so they give your lips that added protection from the sun
•  Adds a little colour to your natural lip.
• Perfect for anybody who’s not ready for the bold statement of a lipstick, seriously. You can work your way up.

With that said, here are the Cons..

•  IT BLEEDS!!!! So the gloss will just go all over your mouth and not stay where it’s meant to be.
• Doesn’t last that long on your lips. Reapplying is a necessity when it comes to wearing lip gloss
• Did I mention it was sticky? And sticks to your hair and just it’s sticky?
• Hard to make a statement with lip gloss, most glosses have a light sheer colour
• Not great if you already have fuller lips, the shine adds illusion and makes them look twice as plump.

LIPSTICK

THE STICK

The Pros...

• There are so many shades out there! Shades for daytime and shades for the night.
• Sometimes a bold colour lipstick is all you need to transform your day makeup to an awesome night out
• Colour stays on much longer than a gloss especially if you’ve prepped them properly
• Looks crazy sophisticated
• It’s very daring and I think it brings out a new found confidence

To be honest with you, I thought I would have more pros when I started typing this, but I just love lipstick and the feeling it gives you when you put it on.

The cons..

• It dries your lips so wear lip balm before you apply
• This hasn’t happened to me ever but maybe it gets on your teeth sometimes. Whoops.

And that’s all really, I can’t think of too many cons for lipsticks, maybe I’m just bias or maybe it’s true. =)

P.s. I love blogging and my wireless keyboard is spazzing out on me, so if there are any mistakes, I apologise.
