Rimmel ScandalEyes Lycra Flex Mascara


HELLO again! This post is going to be about Rimmel's New, but not really new ScandalEyes Mascara. 
It's pretty much a new type of the previous ScandalEyes mascara except this time, it has LYCRA FLEX!
And apparently the Lycra keeps the lashes flexible and not all stiff.
It's a volumizing mascara that is SUPPOSED to NOT clump on the lashes, but I beg to differ.
But we will get into that LATER!


The packaging is JUST as bulky as the ScandalEyes regular mascara and with a large opening to support the ENORMOUS wand. OMG! For me, it is the BIGGEST wand that I have ever used in my mascara using life!


For someone like me, it is a bit awkward to maneuver the wand around my lashes, that's why I mainly just use it on my top lashes. It does get a little messy, with product gathering on the lid itself.


My bare lashes =]


My lashes with TWO coats of the mascara =]

BOTTOM LINE: I really like this mascara, don't love it, but I REALLY like it. It gives me my volume, it doesn't smudge, but it DOES get clumpy after a second coat and even a little before >< , so BE careful!
My lashes are already curly, so I can't speak on its ability to hold a curl.
All in all, I think this is a GOOD mascara to try for people who want volume. I say, just BEWARE product on the lid and some clumping. 

Thanks for stopping by and reading! =]

China Glaze On Safari Fall 2012 Collection


HELLO everyone! LONG time no blog! My only excuse is LAZINESS!
Anyway, this post is about China Glaze's On Safari Collection for this fall.
There are 12 colors in total, a good mix of glitter and creme finishes, but I only purchased 5 of them because I thought they would look the best against my skintone =]

The 5 colors I purchased are Exotic Encounters, Adventure Red-y, Jungle Queen, Purr-fect Plum, & Prey Tell.


This first color is Exotic Encounters which is a creme deep teal color. On my skin, it seems to come off more BLUE. Also, BEWARE this color STAINS the nail after removal >.<


Adventure Red-y is EXACTLY what it looks like! It's a WONDERFUL bold, red creme polish!


Purr-fect Plum comes off more BERRY against my skin, but it is BY FAR my FAVORITE color that I purchased.  I love it because it dark enough for fall, but not so much to make my hands look older...if that makes sense :/


Jungle Queen is a smokey gray purple color. It reminds me of Hunger Game's Foie Gras, but Foie Gras is more GRAY than Jungle Queen =]


Prey Tell is going to look INTERESTING on the nail, I think. In the bottle is looks dark reddish purple, but on my nail wheel, it comes off more RED. 


PURR-FECT PLUM on my nails =]


EXOTIC ENCOUNTER on my nails, but NOT the ring finger.


Here's the video I made on these colors! =]



Thanks for reading!
