In My Bag: Rimmel’s Glam’Eyes Mascara

While on a recent visit at Walgreen’s, I started browsing those three aisles that they always have in front of the cosmetics department - the ones with shelves loaded with displays of all the new beauty products. I wasn’t looking for anything particular, but rather hoping something would catch my eye - and it did. It was Rimmel’s Glam’Eyes Mascara, which is ones of Rimmel London’s newest mascara available in the United States.

What really jumped out at me was the cute packaging; the tube is black with pink lettering, and a crown on the lid - very girly. It also had a sticker guaranteeing 80% longer lashes, but don’t all mascaras promise something along those lines…? Then, I saw a sticker that read “All Rimmel Cosmetics 50% off.” OK! I was sold on it and purchased the mascara to add to my collection.

I’m actually very satisfied and happy with this mascara that cost me $3. I’m wearing it in the picture above, and that’s without using an eyelash curler. Not only does it do good at adding volume and length to my lashes, it works a whole lot better than the last two high end brand mascaras I’ve purchased. I’ve found it works best applying it with long fast strokes; then using a mascara comb - it prevents the lashes from grouping together.

I don’t believe Glam’Eyes is my perfect mascara (I’ll never find that), but it’s still a great product and I highly recommend it.

Hard Candy Cosmetics Summer Sale!

(This is not a paid post)

Hard Candy Cosmetics has been one of my favorite makeup brands since they first debuted in 1995 with their Vintage nail polish. The brand is mostly geared towards teenagers, but my kooky and girly self just can’t get enough of their pretty shades and fun packaging.

Today, while checking my email inbox I received a message from the brand stating that all the products on their website are 50% off. At first I thought to myself “is this message fake?” It was in my junk folder, so to be positive I pointed my browser toward hardcandy.com and sure enough their having a summer sale with EVERYTHING 50% off. I’m so happy, I already purchased three things and only spent $20 dollars with shipping. If I could spend more money I would probably buy the whole damn website! I hope the sale last for a little bit because I really want to get their perfume - it smells a lot like Aquolina Pink Sugar, but with a spicy kick to it, and $21 isn’t very much for a 1.7 oz bottle of perfume.

I seriously love this brand, and although every thing’s on sale I hope their not going out of business or anything. Yet, I can’t see happening since their a division of Urban Decay Cosmetics, but who knows…
