Recent Empties Vol. 2

Hey guys!

I can't believe it's already the end of November and just one more month, the end of the year. Time sure flies! Anyways, for the past month I've tried not to splurge and be more conscious of my purchases so that lead me to use up these products and it kind of made me feel accomplished. For the past year, I have been so caught up with growing my makeup collection that I've definitely accumulated more than what I need so finishing a product gives me a sense of achievement. So let's take a look!

Rimmel ScandalEyes Mascara Review

Hey guys!

Today I would like to share my thoughts on Rimmel ScandalEyes Mascara in Extreme Black. I was attracted to this mascara because of the brush, as I have always used mascaras with skinny brush so I thought to give this a try.  

Company Description: Introducing ScandalEyes, our first big brush mascara that quickly reveals even shy, unnoticeable lashes in one simple stroke! So big, so fast! Supersize formula! Triple collagen + keratin formula plumps even the thinnest lashes. Lash Out Loud! 12x more volume and scandalous eye opening impact! No clumps. Lashes so big, volume so fast! Volume so loud your lashes will scream!

Here are pictures of my curled bare lashes vs my curled lashes with mascara

Honestly, I didn't see any of these claims happen on my lashes! This mascara didn't plump my lashes, didn't give them volume and didn't supersize them. The formula is very wet so it's a bit messy to apply, I had to wait for some time before I could even blink. And I have to say, I poked my eyes at least three times with the big obnoxious brush that this mascara came with!

Look at that brush!

I saw that Rimmel has launched a few other mascaras from the ScandalEyes line and I don't think that I will try them based on the original one.

Price: $4.99 CAD (I bought it on sale)

Place to buy: Walmart, Rexall, Shopper's Drug Mart

Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipsticks in #08 and #14 by Kate Moss Review and Swatch

Hey guys!

Rimmel has recently launched a lipstick collection wherein they had collaborated with Kate herself for limited release. These lipsticks come in a sleek black tube with their signature crown on top and Kate's name printed across.

I have two out of the five that they have launched and I have to say that I quite like the colour payoff of the ones I have. I have shade numbers 08 and 14 and they are the nude-y, MLBB (my lips but better) shades. I think it's boring that they only gave numbers and no specific names for their shades but I can get pass that.

Shade # 08

This shade is a plum-y colour with somewhat of a pink hint to it. It has a matte creamy finish but its quite drying and not that moisturizing to the lips. You surely need to apply lip balm first before wearing this lipstick.

For the swatch

Shade # 14

This shade is definitely lighter that shade #08 with a brown undertone. This also has a matte creamy finish but its not as drying as shade #08 on my lips.

For the swatch

Rimmel claims that these lipsticks will wear for 8 hours but they only lasted me about 3 - 4 hours and needed to be re-applied again. Also, I have to note that both lipsticks have a strong plastic scent that can be overpowering that will last for about 10 minutes after applying them.

 I hope you enjoyed this post!
