Rimmel brows

Big things are happening over at Rimmel. This time with their brow products. 
I have a few brow products today to share with you, and a couple primers. 
I'll also throw in this amazing mascara that I have been falling in love with.
Sit back and enjoy the post.

I was very impressed with the color. The powder alone is fairly light but all in all I don't think that is a bad thing. The cream with powder over top to set would be the way I prefer to use this little fella.
It stayed in place from what I gathered. I also only wore it for shorter periods of time. Comes complete with a tiny double sided angle brush and and separate tiny spoolie.
This retails for around $5

I really was impressed with the gels. I think they stayed in place for a good amount of time. I had them on for a full work day and didn't have any flaking or smudging. My brows didn't feel crunchy and hard, that is a huge deal to me. The brush is just the perfect size, not too big and not tiny, and skinny either! The coverage in the brown gel was just right for my brows. I think someone that is a little more shy with color would love the clear. It's a great option for my 16 y/o daughter as well.
These retail for around $5


Volume Colourist mascara
in black 
HOLY YES!!!! This mascara is AMAZING! I love the natural bristle tapered brush, it makes the mascara apply heavenly. No clumps, lumps or smudging. My lashes felt soft all day. I had tons of length and a good amount of volume. Best part... this mascara actually tints your lashes over time. And it REALLY does. I can already see the difference in mine! This has been my 'go to' mascara for the last week and a half! If anything I am super picky about my mascaras, so this is a huge deal to me.
This retails for around $9


Lasting Finish Primer & Fix and Perfect Primer
So far both of these primers have been ok. I have used primer I like better and I have used primer I like a ton less too. They are definitely not bad primers at all, and great to have on hand, or to have on a budget. They both do what they claim to do. Both also have a little thicker than lotion feel and resemblance. They apply and blend in to the skin nicely. 
Lasting Finish Primer: said to minimize pores and even skin tone for a longer lasting wear on your foundation. Up to 8 hrs of extended wear, Ultra lightweight feel. I really feel that this lives up to its claim. This primer retails for around $8.
Fix & Perfect Primer: said to prime, and prefect by smoothing skin canvas with brightening shield for an easier makeup application. Also helps with mattifiying oily prone skin! This definitely does the job it says it does! All in all this one I did like a pinch better. I'm a sucker for anything that mattifies this oily skin of mine. This primer retails for around $8.


Needless to say these have been under the radar I think, and it's time the come out of hiding! I am super stoked. What's on your wish list?

NYC eyeshadows, some Rimmel and Sally Hansen

Today I have some fun things in store for you today. I have some goodies from NYC in the form of Eyeshadow quads. A cute contour palette from Rimmel, and a good ol' nail treatment from none other that Sally Hansen. 
So let's get this thing going......

 first off the nail treatment from Sally Hansen 
This retails for about $13 wherever Sally Hansen is sold. 
Sally Hansen Complete Care 7-in-1

This treatment did as it claims.... A clear polish treatment that goes on clean nails to help with brittle, dry unhealthy nails. The treatment brightens, moisturizers, strengthen, and helps promotes growth, with visible results in as little as 3 days. 


Rimmel London has new contour palettes out. I have one to show you here. This little cutie retails for around $6-$7 wherever Rimmel is sold in your area.

Coral Glow 

Coral Glow palette (L to R) 
Blush, Bronze & Highlight 

Here I am wearing the Coral Glow palette. 
I really really like this palette. The colors wear very beautifully. They are all easily blendable. The blush is a gorgeous matte coral, the bronzer is a matte cool toned brown, and the highlight is a subtle off white shimmer. 


NYC came out with some new quads! These are toooo dang cute and the color selections are great. Each Nudes quad comes with a cream primer, a brown gel eyeliner, and a cream highlight. 
These cute little quads will retail around $5 wherever you can find NYC cosmetics.

Pink Nudes, Beige Nudes & Bronze Nudes

All in all I was pretty impressed with these quads. They were super blendable, and didn't blend away. For the price point that is amazing, and well worth it. The brown gel liner was ok. It didn't ever really  'dry' but it was smooth and creamy, and went on great. The primer was awesome and I think really helped the shadows stick and stay. The cream highlighter did its job, and is very pretty. I think as an inner corner highlight it works best. I'm not real keen on a super shiny shimmery under brow highlight. 
So my only qualm would be I never have liked when packaging mixes powder and cream products because without fail I get a dark powder fallout in a light colored cream product, and it irks the bejesus out of me! Lol! 


I can't wait to see what the come up with next!
These are all definitely worth picking up and the prices are just right.

Rimmel Kate nudes

Boy have I got a post for you today! 
Have you seen these amazing little gems from Rimmel. The nudes by Kate are incredible! Holy cow, I am in love! I have wanted these since I first saw them last summer. Oh the glory of these! Just wait until you see these babies! 
These lipsticks retail for around $8
I will just start off by saying that all of these were opaque, and creamy. They wore for quite awhile and I'd say they're long lasting like they claim.
They felt comfortable, not sticky or slippery. 
They have a candy like smell to them. 
Just fab!
