Holy Grail Beautyy . . .

Storytime

I came across this mascara at Target in a new display stand along with a eyeliner I believe.  Always on the lookout for new products to review for you all and myself!

This mascara is supposed to semi - permanent tint with daily use of two weeks plus.  I have tried it twice not in consecutive days.  I bought it for review purposes because I am not personally interested in tinting my eyelashes as I need more than a tint to make my eyelashes look wonderful and I would rather just use a great mascara that also lengthens, defines, gives a rich deep colour and volume.






This is also supposed to volumise your lashes, but I feel it may not be what people want.  The colour is not very pigmented, the lashes are lengthened and separated, if it did a job of it like Maybelline Lash Sensational than I would be more interested in the gimmick of tinting my eyelashes.


It still works but not to the effect I am personally wanting.  It can start bunching your lashes together with repeated applications. This also might be perfect for you so depending on what you need/want from your mascara then by all means try it out! I am going to test out the tinting ability its supposed to do after daily use after 14 days.  I am going to test it on my right eye only which is why you have a photo of my face sans makeup *sorry! hope its not too scary!!!
So I will be back with an update for this product review.  Who knows I might grow to love the mascara too!

UPDATE!!: After wearing this faithfully for just over two weeks on one of my eyes only (see above photo) and I guess you could say it darkened them perhaps one shade.  The tint is a novel idea, but I need/want to wear mascara because tint or no tint, I want to have volume, length, thickening and pigment when I use mascara.  Now, I actually do like the volume, length and separation by this mascara formula and the wand. I also noticed after a full eight hours if you have been sweaty or exercising, it starts to stain under your bottom lashes because of the sweat and it is a little bit hard to remove.  I feel it stains because of the fact that it is a tint formula so rather than getting spots of mascara it stains and spreads.  I also have residue the next morning underneath my lower lash line. 

I absolutely will recommend this because I do like what it gave my lashes as explained above.  However do not expect any huge change in your lashes tint wise.

I saw a YouTube video this morning with Lauren Curtis and she was using this product on her face and I went to Target and lo and behold they had the product in stock! It was fate, it was meant to be, it was destiny!

There is three colour combinations with this product, however Target thus far has only 002 Coral Glow in stock.  I really love this colour combination so once again its fate!

Kate Moss has created this and two other products I believe, a tinted glowing primer in two colours one for light/medium skin tones and a dark tone so that's awesome and a clear conditioning lip balm with SPF.

All three of these products are effortless to use.  Blending is a dream for the contour, I only use a light hand with any contour as I am very fair and it just does not look right on me.  The blush is lovely and gives a lovely lit look especially with the highlighter both being applied to the cheekbones, blush should really be applied to the cheekbone not the apples of the cheek, however it is a personal preference of course and how you apply your makeup especially based on your face shape. I also agree with Matt Goss Make Up Artist that coral can look orange on the face so just be mindful of how much you apply.  Beauty is fun and if you want to rock a certain look or product make it your own!  This is just what works for me.

Rimmel was not joking that this double ended eyeshadow and eyeliner kajal is long lasting.  It does not come off like powder or cream shadows, you need to rub quite hard to remove it.  The pigment though is AMAZING.  The kajal part is brown and goes on smooth and easy.

There is another three colour combinations along with this one.

• A brown and cream version called Queens of a Bronzed Age
• A blue and black version called Dark side of Blue
• A black and grey version called Back to Blacks

 I have just put the shadow all over my eyes with no primer or anything else under neath.  The time is now 3:06pm, I am going to aerobics this afternoon so will be interesting to see how it lasts through that.
Well that was a full on aerobic step class with heaps of sweating Yuk! But the product is still there, you can ever so slightly feel it on your skin.  The class was at 4:30pm for an hour.  I ended up removing it from my eyes at around 9pm and it was still in full effect until I did that.

• Long wearing
• Crease proof
• Transfer proof
• Sweat proof
• Stand out color
• Soft yet sturdy kajal pencil 
• No sharpening

Now you cannot blend this just incase you are wondering, it goes where you put it and that's it.  The brown kajal liner is more friendly for smudging though.  The shadow part of this product is good for pops of color on the eye adjacent to your regular liner.  Or the full eye lid, just to the crease. I would like to try it in conjuction with one of the other colors and see what that is like.  Though it is a very stand out look with these there is no hiding with this sort of sheen.



This was taken after a high intensity step aerobics class, you can see that my eyeliner has melted slightly and transferred above.  The eyeliner I am using here is the E.L.F. cosmetics and its a gel liner.

Definitely would recommend this, as it does everything it purports to do and I like the colour.  I want to learn how to do more with this type of product because there is other great brands that produce a very similar product.  I think Nars is one and people love them.

I have been using this eyebrow pencil by Rimmel for so long I actually don't know how long!
I use Hazel 002 as I am fair with blonde hair and my eyebrows are naturally platinum blonde.  This is the perfect color for blondes, redheads and light brunettes.  This is a holy grail product for me.

Its the perfect consistency not too hard where it drags the skin, and not too soft that its messy.
One thing I learned was that it applies far better when the skin is dry of any moisture.  I have to do my eyebrows first and then apply moisturiser, primer, sunscreen and any powder afterwards as it will not apply with moisturiser etc on your eyebrow.

• Very cheap
• Perfect consistency
• Easy to use
• Need to sharpen
• Three colors to choose from Black/Brown, Hazel, Dark Brown
