The Review: Revlon Scented Parfume 'Mint Gelato'

Not so Minty Fresh....

Have you ever wanted something so badly that when you finally get it, it never lives up to your expectations and you feel let down? Well unfortunately this was the case with one of our more recent purchases...Revlon's 'Mint Gelato' (insert sad face here).



We have wanted this baby in our collection for awhile now and just recently it made the cut, but to mixed reviews....

Why? One of the biggest issues we have with this polish is the scent.  It has more of a sweet, sickly mint scent to it that is just waaaaay to strong and overpowering. Even two days after applying the scent has not calmed down and is almost stomach turning. 

The other issue we have with this polish is the colour. In the bottle the shade looked a lighter, more pastel mint (which we adore) but when dry, the colour changes to a much stronger, primary green...which for us is not a very flattering shade on the nails (unless for Paddy's day of course).


All in all we are a little disappointed with this Minty offering from Revlon which is a shame really as we usually love everything from this brand!! 
This just goes to show that it's all trial and error when testing out products ladies and you never get it right all of the time.

Nevertheless we hope you enjoyed this honest review...

Were off to eat some After Eights to cheer ourselves up YUM!!
