June 19, 2017 By in Beauty, Product Reviews Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 42 Comments

I am a huge Rimmel London fan, right from my days at the University. I find Rimmel London makeup affordable and perfect for what I need them for. My friend and I were Rimmel London junkies in uni, that was one of the major makeup brands we used back then, and we still love it.

I had the golden opportunity to try out the new Rimmel London Insta Collection, I was blown away by how amazing the products.

These makeup products have filled a massive hole in my makeup bag. I have never had a duo contour stick or a concealer palette for EVERYTHING, and now I do! This Insta Collection is the TRUTH!

Product Review – Jimmy Choo Illicit Perfume*

May 24, 2016 By in Beauty, Product Reviews Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , 29 Comments

If you have been reading Fashion and Style Police for a while, you will know how much I love perfumes. I use to be a perfume hoarder freak, with over 10 bottles at a time, until I went into recovery, lol. I am a lot better now, and quite happy with only 5 bottles at a time.

Jimmy Choo wowed me with the previous Jimmy Choo perfume. So I was very happy to receive this Illicit perfume by Jimmy Choo as a gift last Christmas.

The Jimmy Choo Illicit perfume was released August 2015. It comes in a 40, 60 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum. I have a bit to say about it, but before I dive into the review, here is what Jimmy Choo has to say about this perfume:

The Illicit perfume is designed for women who are tempting, seductive, risk-taking and totally in control. This fragrance embodies the daring spirit of a woman who is hypnotic, attractive and living life to the fullest. It is a modern floral, created by the perfumer; Anne Filpo. It starts with frizzy notes leading to the floral heart and the warm, honey-amber base. Ginger and bitter orange open the composition. The heart consists of rose and jasmine sambac, laid on the base of honey-amber accord and sandalwood.

“ILLICIT embodies the daring spirit of the Jimmy Choo woman. She is alluring, hypnotic and lives her life to the full.”
– Sandra Choi, Creative Director Jimmy Choo.

Here are my thoughts on this perfume:

PROS

  1. It is a light, feminine, sensual fragrance, which I love. It is soft enough for day time wear, and great to rock in the summer season.
  2. It is long-lasting. It stays on for a few hours.
  3. I love the design of the bottle. It is simple but so chic.
  4. I like the fact that it comes in various sizes – 40, 60 & 100ml, hence various prices. A 40ml bottle goes for £42, 60ml goes for £54 and a 100ml goes for £78.
  5. This fragrance is readily available online and in many other departmental stores.

CONS

  1. I wish the fragrance stays on longer. It disappears after a couple of hours.

Overall, I love this fragrance. I think it is fab, and I will definitely use it again. I recommend it to any perfume lover looking for a light fragrance to use this summer.

Thanks for reading. Have a lovely day.

 

 

Product Review: Dolled Up Hair Extensions

December 3, 2015 By in Beauty, Product Reviews Tags: , , , , , , , , 40 Comments

Dolled Up Hair Revew FSP

I recently received this 18″ Dip Dye Deluxe Remy Weave Hair Extensions 140g by Dolled Up Hair, some weeks ago, and I finally got around to installing it last week. I wanted a bright new look, so I went for a jet black, golden sands and copper-red combination, and I got exactly what I wanted. Before I dive into the review, here is what Dolled Up Hair has to say about this hair extensions:

Get a more exotic and flamboyant look with Dolled Up’s Deluxe dip dye weave hair extensions.

Designed to be weaved/woven/braided or glued into your hair, they are shiny, soft and perfect to add length, thickness and luxuriousness to your hairstyle.

“Dip-dye” means they are multicoloured (not single-coloured), featuring either 2 or 3 colours so you can create vibrant colour combinations.

Made from 100% Remy (also known as “Remi”) real human Brazilian hair, they can be washed, curled, straightened and blow-dried.

Double-drawn means the weaves are thick to the ends, for a fuller, more natural look. Each weft has been hand-selected to ensure the cuticle has been kept intact, so they stay tangle-free for longer.

Weight is 140g.

Total width of the weft is 78 inches (almost 2 metres!), which can be cut into smaller strips for flexible application.

Hair Review

So I installed the weave, and had it curled with my good old bendy rollers, and here are my thoughts:

PROS

  1. It is very thick; it added a lot of volume to my hair.
  2. There has been no shredding whatsoever with this hair.
  3. I found this weave so easy to comb through.
  4. It is soft and shiny, which is fab.
  5. I love the multi coloured design a lot. It is very unique; I have never seen anything like it. There are 7 “dip-dyed” colour combinations;

Jet Black / Golden Sands / Copper Red

Natural Black / Golden Sands / Copper Red

Natural Black / Dark Ash Blonde / Pink

Jet Black / Strawberry Blonde

Jet Black / Bright Red

Jet Black / Dark Red

Jet Black / Purple, so there should be a combination for every woman.

6. It is 100%, real human Brazilian hair, so it can be reused, washed, curled, straightened, dyed and blow-dried.

7. The weave is so versatile; they can be either woven, sewn, clipped-in or even glued into your hair.

 

Fashion and Style Police Reviews

 

CONS

  1. I received one pack to review, but I needed more than a pack, because I like my weaves full. I added a bit of my old Brazilian weave, to achieve the volume I wanted, so have that in mind. If you want yours as full, you will need to get at least 2 packs.
  2. A pack of the 18″ Dip Dye Deluxe Remy Weave Hair Extensions 140g currently goes for £100, some may find this pricey, but when it comes to hair extensions, quality is everything and I usually find I get what I pay for, so £100 for this is quite OK.

Dolled Up Hair Review

 

Overall, I recommend this hair extension to any woman looking for quality weaves, the multi-coloured hair is so vogue, great for the party season, and it looks amazing. Do you agree? What are your thoughts on this weave? Drop me a comment, let’s chat
