L to R: Maybelline color tattoo barely banded, rimmel shadow stick bulletproof beige, NYX jumbo pencil sparkle nude

What I think:
I am really impressed of Rimmel ScandalEyes line, already tried the eyeliners also the shadow stick, they are amazing quality. I have here the eye shadow stick color bulletproof beige, which is a shimmery beige/gold color. The texture is really smooth and silky, glides on easily, the feel of it reminds me of the Pixi Silky Eye Pencil. It doesn't dry very fast so allows time to blend if wanted, and it blends very nice. Once it's dry it will stay in place for the whole day without creasing. 
The packaging of the shadow stick reminds me of the NYX jumbo eye pencil, and this color in particular is very similar to the jumbo pencil Sparkle Nude, which is darker, more peachy tone. However, the quality is way different, NYX jumbo pencil won't set so crease horrible on me, it has tons of color choices but between the two, I will definitely choose Rimmel.  Besides the packaging, the Rimmel shadow stick is very similar to Maybelline Color Tattoo Eye Shadows, the formula, how it performs are identical, the difference is they come in the stick form. 

There aren't lot of color to choose from, or should I say nothing so far really catch my eyes. This color bulletproof beige is just an usual color to wear, nothing interesting or stands out, it blends very closely to my skin tone. I wish Rimmel can come out with more colors, otherwise I'm not interested buying more, especially I already own a lot similar products.  

Have you try these yet? How do you like them?

Rimmel Lipstick: Pink Blush

This is the Rimmel lipstick color: Pink Blush. I pick this one up because it looks very pretty in the packaging and I swatch on my hand, it looks not bad either. (Picture below: the one on the right)  Same line as the Airy Fairy, (love the formula of this line)very creamy texture and the color just looks so good by looking at it, its on the brighter side and I figured it will be good for the warm weather.

After I put it on my lips, the color turns different, still beautiful color but not the color that I want to wear. This is obviously a bright pink color that is not wearable for my everyday makeup look. I think this will be a perfect match with a fun, bright makeup look, it will be the perfect lip color for teenage girls, maybe someone with different skin tone, just not for me. 

I guess because of my natural lip color, certain lipstick just show differently, those looks good in the packaging not always turns out to be good on actual lips. I have couple of lip products that belongs to these category. Do you have the same issue as I do?

Thanks for reading and have a good one!

Review: Rimmel Fix&Perfect Primer 002

Rimmel Fix&Perfect Primer 002

Features:

Skin-perfecting formula for 5-in-1 results: smoothes, resurfaces, brightens, mattifies and protects. Prolongs foundation wear.Wear alone or under foundation.

❤ What I think ❤

This is not the primer that I was looking for because I didn't do enough of research before I purchase this, so I end up getting the wrong one. What I want to get is the Fix&Perfect Foundation Primer 001. Since I got it, I thought I can try it and do a review.

This is a primer which suppose to work as a base of foundation, it claims that this product can help smooth, resurfaces, brighten, mattify and protect skin. The formula is a lotion-gel type, and works like a lotion on skin, goes on smoothly, colorless, and doesn't feel heavy or anything. My foundation stick to it well at first but hours later I found my foundation is fading, is like the base is eating my foundation, at the end of the day I got totally no coverage left on my face. I have no idea why but I didn't change anything in my routine so I guess this is the problem.  I think I will return it since it did not work for me.

( What's interesting is on camera this has that brightening effects and give a little bit of glow to skin. )

Overall:

☆☆☆★★

Pros:

Smooth 

foundation will stick on

Nice on Camera

Cons:

Foundation won't last on it

❤ What I think ❤

This mascara gives length and holds the curl! I was really surprised because the formula isn't too wet, since I have weak lashes it's hard to find mascara that doesn't weigh my lashes down. I have one coat on and it does lengthening very well. If applying too much it can weigh  my lashes down and also clumps. It doesn't feel heavy and it stays put for the most part. I don't think it gave me the definition and volume it claims though. 

It has a really unique wand unlike most mascaras. It does have that awkward glop of product at the end of the wand. Because of the bristles, the result looks better when you rotate the wand as you applying it.

Overall, I like it but I don't think this is as good as my other Mascara.

Overall:

☆☆★★★

Pros:

Formula, not too wet

Lengthening

dark

Easy to take off

Cons:

Clumps if applying too much 

Won't holds curl if applying too much

smudges after long wear

Rimmel London Kate Moss Collection Lipstick

Rimmel Kate Moss Collection Lipstick Color: 08（Left), 14 (Right)

❤What I think❤

I am so excited when I saw these at my local drugstore because I know these lipsticks are great. Nice opaque color, super smooth and hydrating. I pick up two of them number 08 and 14 because they are so similar to my favorite lip colors. 08 is very close to Rimmel Airy Fairy, only a little darker. 14 is very similar to Revlon Soft Nude, more of pink undertone. Both lipsticks feel great on lips, super creamy and soft.

Overall:

★★★★★

Pros:

Great color selection

Opaque

smooth and soft

hydrating

Price

So lucky that I found them because only a few on the shelf, just cheer me up today! Happy Monday.

Review: Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara, Wet n wild Brow Kit

Product:

Rimmel Sexy Curves Mascara

Review:

I have high hope of this mascara since so many people like it.

Does lengthening without a lot of work

  Separates 

Doesn't clump 

Doesn't smudge

 Can reach small and short lashes 

but it can't hope my curl which is very disappointed. 

My lashes are tough(^^), they always point straight down.

 Before and after

Product:

Wet n wild Brow Kit 963 Ash Brown

Review:

I would say this is the best purchase recently, I love it. Perfect color for me, match my eye color, my hair.

 I use both color in the kit to get my shade, very pigmented( be careful not to apply too much). 

Not sure of the wax, it seems to get my color off when I apply it.
