NEW Rimmel Scandaleyes Rockin' Curves Mascara Review


Hi Loves! You guys all probably know by now that I am OBSESSED with mascaras. I was quite intrigued when I saw the "broken heart brush" on this mascara so I had to try & review it for you all!


I purchased mine for $4.99 CAD at Superstore.




The bottom half of the mascara tube has a very unique snakeskin texture feel & is quite chunky. Definitely gives it that rocker-cool factor!




The brush is a broken heart or "s-shape" type & it has hard bristles w/ a bendy metal center (if you wanted to twist the shape a bit). The formula is in between a wet & dry.


When I first tried this mascara, I really had to get use to the shape of it. Shortly after using it a few times, I quickly discovered the best way to use it. Basically, if you want a non-clumpy finish than use the almond side of the brush against your eyes. I find that it fits perfectly to your eye shape much better than using the other side. 

So what do I think of this mascara?? It was a pretty average, okay one! Yes, the pointed tip made it easier to apply to the inner corners of the eyes & hard to reach lashes. It did provide a good amount of volume but not something for me to get excited about. Using it properly, my lashes separated nicely & no clumps. This mascara didn't give me any length to my lashes or hold my curl. However, it did not flake on me (did smudge a bit on lower lashes) & was a breeze to remove at the end of the day. 

Overall, I don't think it's a mascara you need to run out & buy but if your interested in unique & new mascaras than go for it!

I hope this review was helpful to you. As always, thank you so much for reading!

Love, Linda

Vampy Ombre Red Lips Tutorial


Hi Loves! This vampy, dark ombre  red lip is perfect for Fall/Winter! It looks ultra sexy & mysterious. It will also go perfectly with sweater weather as well!


To create this lip look, all you need is 2 items: a black creamy eye liner & a red lipstick of your choice. Use a lighter shade of red if you want the ombre effect to be more noticeable. I chose to use a darker red to have more of a vampy look.

1st step- line your lips with the black eye liner
2nd- shade the outer corners of your lips, make a triangle shape at each of the 4 corners
3rd- shade the center of your bottom lined lips
4th- apply your red lipstick
5th- TADA! You should have beautiful "Vampy Ombre Red Lips"

Hope you enjoy this simple & easy tutorial! Thank you so much for reading!! MMMUAH.

Love, Linda

NEW Rimmel Stay Blushed Liquid Cheek Tint Review & Swatch


Hi Loves! I recently posted a video on a review of Rimmel's NEW Stay Blushed Liquid Cheek Tint (I am reviewing 003 Peach Flush).

There are 5 shades in the line: 001 Pop Of Pink, 002 Touch Of Berry, 003 Peach Flush, 004 Sunkissed Cherry, 005 Apricot Glow.





003 Peach Flush is a warm matte peach/coral shade


When you first squeeze the product out of the tube, the texture is more like a mousse.


Once you blend it out with your fingers, it turns more into a liquid texture. SO SMOOTH & PIGMENTED!

Overall, I absolutely love this blush!
-Felt very lightweight on the cheeks
-Blended effortlessly
-Looked super natural, like my cheeks were blushing from within
-It lasted all day, did not fade
-A little goes a long way, get your money's worth
-Very smooth formula & not blotchy
-Easy to use

Watch the full video below. What do you think of this new blush?


Thank you so much for reading & watching. Have an amazing day my loves!

Love, Linda
