Rimmel Glam Eyes Mascara Review

Hii~ ♥


The weather has been so weird recently in California~ It was around 80-90°F (27-32°C) last week & today was around 60°F (15°C)! I have such a hard time picking clothes in the morning because I hate wearing jeans and if i wear leggings, it might be too cold/hot~ ):


Anyways~ ^^ I will be reviewing the Rimmel Glam Eyes Mascara today! Again, I was struck by the packaging. hehe~ I was shopping at Target for mascara and I saw this for around $5.99 on sale and I just bought it! The mascara states that it is "Ultra Volume, high definition mascara" but from my experience when using it, I think it is more lengthening than volumizing.




Pictures!

Packaging always gets me~ ><

So princess♥like~ ^^

Defining brush~

More like super lengthening~

Uncurled natural lashes~

Curled~

After applying mascara~ Notice how some eyelashes clump?

If your mascara clumps together, use the left side of this (lash comb) to brush out the clumps for a more natural look~ (I bought this at Ulta for $1.29)

All brushed out! My lashes look super long o__o

Comparison~

1. Natural/Uncurled

2. Curled

3. Applied mascara

4. Combed out the mascara

Glam Eyes is non-waterproof. Although I have taken a 2 hour nap with my mascara on and there was little to no flaking~ Just don't cry! ><

My everyday school face~

Conclusion: This mascara is great for lengthening lashes, but does minimal in volumizing. The mascara holds your curl pretty well and is definitely worth it for the price. Rimmel has $2 off coupons on their Facebook page and in the weekly Sunday Los Angeles Times, so you can save even more! (:

Thank you for reading! & have a great week~ It's almost Friday >< 

Sincerely, mimi ♥

PS: I really need a volumizing mascara right now because my lashes look like spider legs when they are too long~ >< Any suggestions? 

Japonesque Go Curl Pocket Curler Review

Hii~ ♥

I am doing a review on the Japonesque Go Curl Pocket Curler~ I recently bought this cute little eyelash curler at Ulta. It was $10 & I had a $3.50 off $10 purchase so this it was technically $6.50 ^^ I LOVE this curler. I have to admit, the only other curler I have used was my roommate's scissor-type Revlon curler & it pinched the sides of my eyes! Attempting to curl my eyelashes would cause me to cry ): I decided I needed to get one and I saw this online at Ulta.com.

The curler received rave reviews from Asian girls who had straight lashes and would get pinched by other eyelash curlers, so I decided to try it (the pink and the cuteness factor also influenced me hehe~). It is pretty pricey for an eyelash curler, but it does the job really well. It makes my lashes stick straight up (like 90 degree angles if I wanted to) or a soft angle, depending on how hard I clamp the lever. The lever also flips down flat so the eyelash curler is about the thickness of a ring finger, so it helps for traveling.

FREE EYELASH CURLER PADS FOR LIFE!! Just go online to Japonesque's website and there is a small form you can fill out (Address, type of curler, etc.) to receive your free eyelash curler pads. There is also a phone number on the back you can call too. 1 Curler pad can be stored on the bottom of the eyelash curler. So handy!

Pink Pink Pink~ ^^


Free Refills for Life!!


So cute & handy~


I did not put on mascara so my eyelashes are a little messy. Buy you can see how high you can curl your eyelashes! You can press more softly on the lever for a less severe curl~


1 extra eyelash curler pad stored on the bottom~


The back flips down and you push down on the lever to clamp the curler~


Pretty packaging~


"Open cage prevents pinched lashes"
YES!!

Etude House Lovely Cookie Blusher Review + Swatch

Hi~ ♪

I am doing a review on the Etude House Lovely Cookie Blush in the No.1 Pink color. When I first saw this blush, I thought it was the cutest blush I have ever seen~ & I am a packaging freak, I love the color pink and I love bows, so I had to get this. Etude House is a brand in South Korea that is an equivalent to a drugstore brand in America. Their makeup/skincare is relatively cheap, but their packaging and stores are so cute~ Why can't there be inexpensive makeup like this in the United States ): But anyways, back to the blush~

The blush is a matte light pink blush that is perfect for a natural look. It is not too bold, but this color may be a little too light for darker skin, but there are other colors to choose from~ You can also layer the blush to achieve the look you want. I have to admit, the blush is a little chalky, but that is because makeup in Asia caters to oily Asian skin so chalky formulas keep the oil to a minimum.

Pictures!~

The packaging is so pretty~

The puffball is so cute!

You can use the puffball to apply to blush on the apples of your cheeks, or you can use a blush brush~

Swatch~ 

Left: Without primer     Right: With Primer

Notice how the right side is more white with the primer?~

Color No. 1~

I applied the blush with the powderpuff because I don't have a blush brush~ ): 

But the powderpuff works just fine (: Just tap the powderpuff onto the blush and then tap it onto your cheeks & repeat for a stronger color. In the picture, I did it maybe 2-3 times.

Some people say the color doesn't show up, but in real life, the color showed up as a faint pink! Just what I wanted (: In pictures with bright light, it may blend into your skin, so if you are going to take pictures, apply more blush~ I am a NC 25-30 so if you are around there, it will show up in real life~ 

I really like this blush! It is a natural color for me (:


NOTE: I purchased this blush with my own money

Thank you for reading!
