Ruby Hammer Nail Polishes Review

Friday, 19 April 2013
I received a set of the Ruby Hammer Nail polishes as a present a while back and was really looking forward to using them as I'd seen Ruby Hammer a lot on T.V and had always thought she was a great make up artist, so i was expecting good quality nail varnishes. I was wrong (dramatic!) 
Shit quality i know, I'm sorry!

The set comes with 6 polishes with a really nice colour range (another reason to feel growing expectation) which also included a glittery top coat. However this is where the positivity ends...First of all i found that none of the colours had any intensity, probably down to the watery consistency, and you had to do a number of coats for it to look anything like what it does in the bottle. As their drying, the polishes have a nice finish, quite shiny and glossy but once they dries it loses this and just looks really unattractive, though its really hard to put into words the finish of it. Even with my favourite top coat on it doesn't look glossy, which normally works a treat!

The next problem is with how long it lasts. After barely any time, a day or so the nail varnish either peels all the way off in one go or chips a hell of a lot. This is one thing i find extremely annoying and frustrating! The glittery nail polish, however, was one i did like as i loved to glam up any colour with a sparkly finish. After forgetting about having this for a couple of months i rediscovered it and was excited to use it again, until i opened it and was shocked about how gloopy and totally unusable it was. Now, a month or so after that it has completely dried up and i don't know whether its because its glittery its dried up that much but I've never known a varnish become unusable so soon.

I really don't want to dislike these as i love the colours but every time i use them i get the same sense of annoyment, sorry Ruby Hammer! :(

Avon Extra Lasting Mascara and Liquid Eyeliner Pen- Disappointing Products

Sunday, 24 February 2013
 This is my first negative blog post and although i don't want to bring the gloom and doom, i really dislike these two products and was extremely disappointed with them. The two products are part of the extra lasting range from avon; the mascara and liquid eyeliner pen. I decided to buy the extra lasting products due to having quite oily eyelids and eye makeup often doesn't last too well.
The mascara applies reasonably well and lengthens the lashes however after only an hour or so my lashes start to clump together so they're not seperated at all and by the end of the day all my lashes are clumped together into around 3 clumps. (overuse of the word clump!) This really is not what you want your eyelashes to look like. It is also extremely difficult to remove and i would often find that in trying to remove it, several lashes would come out. I kept on reusing the mascara, hoping that it would have just been a one off occurrance but it kept on happening no matter what the weather. 

With the eyeliner, it applies a light grey line thats barely noticable rather than the black that its supposed to be. It's also very watery which means it slips and slides after barely anytime and isn't 'extra lasting' at all. Sometimes i think that maybe i have a broken one as surely an eyeliner can't be that bad. 
The 'black' liquid eyeliner 
 I am normally reasonably pleased with avon products but both these products are very disappointing and i wouldn't recommend anyone buying them.
