Rimmel Vinyl Max Lip Gloss in Glorious 711 - Review,Photos & Lipswatch

I recently  got to try the new Rimmel Vinyl Max Lipgloss. If you havent noticed my blog name  has"gloss"in it. There was a time when i swore by lip glosses. I wore them religiously when i was in college and at the work. But couple of years ago lipsticks took over. But Rimmel london was one brand which went to whenever i needed a gloss since at that ime not many brands were available and i liked their glosses. So when i got the rimmel vinyl max lipgloss in 711 in glorious , i was excited. You will soon know what made me excited. Keep reading ;)



Rimmel introduces its new Vinyl Max Lipgloss for the most voluptuous pout ever!
Rimmel has given its cult gloss classic a supersize volume makeover. With its revolutionary volumizing complex and clever new one swipe wand, lips are plump for a huge impact! MAXimum shine, MAXimum comfort, MAXimum colour!

Glorious (711):  is described as Fresh fun for Hyde Park frisbee. Its a hot pink with gold sparkles. 


First thing you will notice about this gloss is its humongous wand. When i say humongous i mean HUGE  . The large doe foot application made application made fun for me since i have fuller lips but i maybe inconvenient for someone with thin lips. It was possibly the easiest, quickest application. I will post a comparison photos of wand at the end of this post.








I loved the promo images of the gloss and how there is an embossed crown on top of the packaging.In my opinion packaging is cute and classy. I wish the shade name wasnt written on a label since they tend to rub off and in the end you are left confused that which shade is which.



If you are regular reader of glossicious , you will know that i am a fan of minty flavor/smelling lip products. I dont need any plumping effect but i like the feeling of that. When i first applied the gloss i was pleased because Rimmel Vinyl Max Lip Gloss has slightly minty taste.The plumping formula also leaves a tingly feeling on your lips but not as strong as some of other lip products I've tried ( I am looking at you elf lipprimer/plumper). Most of rimmel glosses i have tried are on the sheer side and it does come up quite sheer too but still it manages to leave some color on the lips. It does have a slight vanilla-ish smell. But nothing too strong.

First pic was taken indoor with flash , rest natural indoor light.



Over all i like Rimmel Vinyl Max Lip Gloss since My lips looked oh so shiny,sparkly and plump .  It's a hot pink with gold sparkles. If you want juicy ,full lips this gloss is for you. The sparkles in this gloss looks lovely when light hits the lips. 


Availability : all Rimmel retailers.
Price : $8.08 


Now the wand comparison with another rimmel lipgloss

Liz Earle Foot Scrub - Summer Must Have -[ Review ]

Summer is all about mangoes , watermelons, and flip flops for me. Since i usually wear open shoes in summer , it mean taking an extra step to take care of my feet, I mostly use a pumice stone, a rich moisturizer but couple of months ago i was given a chance to test the Liz Earle foot scrub.



This hard-working scrub gently exfoliates hard, rough skin on heels and soles, leaving feet ultra-soft and buffed to perfection.

Naturally active ingredients include natural pumice to remove dead skin cells, softening avocado and wheatgerm oils rich in vitamin E, and the invigorating aromas of peppermint and rosemary essential oils.
Liz Earle foot scrub comes in a long squeezable slim tube . I personally like tube compared to tubs/jars since they allow you to have better control on the amount of the product you want . But ofcourse it has a draw back that once you are near the end it might be little hard to get the product out. 


 First thing first ,I simply love , adore the smell of the Liz Earle foot cream, Its a refreshing blend of  minty - rosemary herbal scent which wakes up senses. I LOVE it. I have used the foot scrub in two different method from last couple of months. First i soaked my feet in a luke warm water with salt in it for 10-15 mins , then i would take a foot file and use it along with the scrub. Finishing with a moisturizer. Second, one i am in hurry i will just use it to my feet right aftr taking a shower/ bath ,since skin is still damp and soft.It will be more effective this way.  I just massage it into damp skin, concentrating on dry areas such as heels, toes and balls of feet.and rinse off.

Liz Earle foot scrub is gentle & effective. Since it has natural pumice in the scrub , you can see little black grains. The pumice particles are gentle enough but they exfoliate skin well, and they dont irritate the feet.It is really moisturizing , i mean you will notice the how soft and creamy it feels when you start washing off the scrub. The texture is thick , so a little goes long way. 
Over all i really like the foot scrub since it leaves my feet smooth and soft.The foot scrub is perfect both in consistency and aroma for me.  

Available at: uk.lizearle.com  for  £10.45 e sample size 15ml £4.60.
