eBay Matte Liquid Lipgloss Lipstick MeNow - Swatch & Review ♥

Hey guys!
So today I am going to be doing a small swatch and review on these eBay Matte Liquid Lipgloss Lipstick. There are 36 in the pack I brought and at the time I picked them all up for £28 but I have has seen a few seller sell them for anything from £18-£36 for the set.


These are them anyways in my lipstick holder. They look super cute like little mini test tubes! The name that is written on the product is MeNow and they are classed as a Long Lasting Lip Gloss.
First of all these lipsticks don't have names at all they just have numbers which in a way is a shame as im a sucker for a good product name but I personally think these are better off with just numbers since there are so many!
They are advertised on eBay as lipgloss and they couldn't be further away from the truth haha!
They dry fully matte and some are very drying which I don't mind but with those certain ones you have to be careful not to rub your lips together else they flack and become patchy.
Its difficult for me to say which one of mine are patchy and not as good quality as other reviews I have looked at have said their shade in that colour is fine and works a dream. I guess like with ever batch produced product there are always a few duds.
If i'm being honest I wouldn't rush and purchase all of these. I would have looked more at swatches online and ordered a few to try first.
Its also a shame that there are no unusual colours in this bunch and they are all mainly a variation of pink, red or purple.
Anyways the real reason you're all ready this is for the swatches so here you go!

MAC Ruby Woo Dupe?! ♥

Hey guys!
My last MAC lipstick dupe is one of my highest viewed posts so I thought if you guys enjoy them I would find another which is what I have done! WOO!
If you haven't seen my last dupe post it on was MAC Rebel you can read it here.
Okay, so the amazing thing about this dupe it that it's not a lipstick.
I needed a new red lip liner and to my surprise it was the same colour, texture and finish as MAC Ruby woo!
The lipliner is Rimmel 1000 kisses Lasting Finish lip liner pencil is 021 red dynamite!

This product retails for £2.99 at Superdrug and Boots!

This is MAC Ruby woo and retails for £15.50

I know MAC have recently brought out a lip liner matching this lipstick which costs £12.50 but that is still a £9.51 saving buying the Rimmel dupe!
This is the part you have all been wanting to see. The colour comparison!

As you can see from the swatches above they both look the same on the lips and in swatches!
Yes, Ruby woo is easier to apply and does show on the lips more red but with a couple of layers of the lip pencil you will get the same pigmentation.
The lip liner in my eyes is better for if you were going to go out and eat or drink with this product on due to it lasting and staining power on the lips.
If you have always wanted to try Ruby Woo but didn't want to spend the £15.50 for the lipstick then this is the perfect way to test it out and for £2.99 you're not breaking the bank on a lipstick that you may not like!
I hope you guys liked this post!
Let me know what you think!

Essence Nail Art - Glow in the night Top Coat ♥


Hey Guys!
Hope you are all doing well!
Today's post is going to be on a top coat i brought a couple of months back.

I had been looking for a glow in the dark topcoat or nail polish for my nail before me and Jess went to fusion. I wanted something that would glow and look amazing on the night time.
I had been looking at some of the DIY Glow in the dark nail polish tutorials on YouTube and was going to give them ago before i saw this nail polish in Wilkos.

This topcoat is from a brand called Essence. I have heard a lot of good things about this brand so i thought why not give it a go and at the small price of £1.00-£2.00 I couldn't pass it up!



I hadn't read any reviews about this product before trying or buying it but i wish i had. This nail polish is honestly terrible. It doesn't give a glow even a little one. Nothing. Its just like a semi-milky topcoat...
I know you don't really expect much for the price but i thought you would have a little of something as you can buy a simple cheap glow stick for £1 from poundland. 



You can't really tell how cloudy the polish is from this picture.
I did try and take a picture of this polish in the dark but you couldn't see anything.
After going through the experience myself i looked at reviews online. I wasn't the only one that it wasn't working for.
Many people said they has to put their polish or hand to a light source like a bulb to bring out the tiny specs of fluorescent-ness (I have no idea what they are called)
I did try what they suggested and it work for about a minute before it faded into nothing again. It was that short i didn't have enough time to grab my phone and attempted to take a picture.
Let me know what you guys think of this product if you have it and if you know of any good glow in the dark nail polishes or topcoats on the market!
Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed it!
