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.

Beauty Must-Have: Pop Beauty’s Lid Neon

With neon and bright colors being popular this season Pop Beauty’s Lid Neon couldn’t be more perfect to give your eyelids a bright POP of color. Available at Sephora Lid Neon is a eyeshadow palette with six different matte shades including Pretty Pink, Ripe Orange, Juicy Yellow, Bright Blue, Pastel Turquoise, and Apple Green. As soon as I saw the pretty palette on the shelf I figured I’d give it a try. It cost a decent $22; not exactly bad for a palette at Sephora in my own opinion.

One thing I really like about Lid Neon is it includes tips and tricks on how to apply it. Now, I haven’t got to play around with the colors much, but the other day I tried out two of the colors and wanted to show my results…

Try it: stila illuminating tinted moisturizer

With the hot sticky summer weather around the corner I have been on the hunt for a nice tinted moisturizer. I usually wear foundation but it tends to feel gross on my skin in the hot humid Florida weather. I think tinted moisturizer is good for hot weather because it provides coverage, makes skin softer, doesn’t feel too heavy, and some products provide sun protection. Recently, I purchased stila illuminating tinted moisturizer spf 15, it’s not exactly what I have been looking for in a tinted moisturizer because I crave more coverage, but it’s still a nice product. The moisturizer goes on smooth and makes my face feel nice and soft. It only provides a hint of sheer coverage, but if I want more coverage I just mix it with my choice foundation. I like the subtle shimmer it has because it makes my face glow, which I think is a nice look for the summer. Another thing I like is it’s spf 15 and protecting your skin against sun damage is always a good thing. Especially for someone like me who is fair complected and gets moles very easily. Overall, this product does exactly what it claims to; it delivers a hint of sheer coverage, subtle shimmer, SPF 15 and added moisture in one effortless application. Perfect for everyday use, the silky formula blends beautifully for a pretty, luminous look.
