Rimmel Scandaleyes Show Off Mascara | Review ♥

Hey beaut's!

It's no secret that I'm abit of a mascara addict, I literally have two empty Glossy boxes full of mascaras, I just love them! So when I noticed that there was a mascara in Rimmels Scandaleyes collection that I didn't own I knew I just had to try it, so say hello to Rimmels Show Off Mascara*.

 The main defining factor of this mascara is the wand! It's a uniquely shaped, plastic bristle wand which Rimmel claim that the flat side of the brush plumps lashes with show-stopping volume without a clump in sight, whilst the ball side/end lifts and curls your lashes for eyes that truly show-off. The mascara also has a flake-proof, smudge-proof formula which claims to last morning through too the night with scandalous volume and lift, for lashes that really show off! Sounds pretty amazing right and definitely everything I want from a mascara!

So does this mascara live up to it's claims... Well kind of... The formula of the mascara is very dry in the tube so it does take some work to apply but then dryer mascara are better for reducing the risk of clumps as you aren't slicking mascara all over the place and the Show Off Mascara rarely clumped during application which is a bonus. As far as volume and length go I am abit disappointed, when I saw the name Show Off in the mascara title I was honestly expecting super long lashes with volume in abundance but it really didn't do much for my lashes in that regard, don't get me wrong my lashes are slightly longer than my natural lashes and they do have a nice amount of lift and curve to them but I was expecting alot more. I do however love the fact this mascara is smudge-proof without being waterproof, it honestly stays on very well and doesn't budge all day and I never experienced any flaking or transferring at all which is great. As I said before the wand is one of those plastic, spiky bristle jobbies which I'm not a huge fan of as I they are so hard and spiky when you wriggle the brush at the root of your lashes and it can be quite a painful experience, however the show off wand is very easy to use and combs through my eyelashes lovely and the little rounded end makes getting to any hard to reach lashes a breeze.  

Overall I'd say this is a pretty average mascara for volume and length but its great if your looking for a long lasting, smudge-proof, flake-proof mascara that gives your lashes a slight lift and curve. I also love the fuchsia packaging, it's just so girly and fun!

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in Light | Review ♥

Hey beaut's!

A while back Maybelline launched a new base makeup collection called Fit Me. The Fit Me Collection consists of a Foundation, Pressed Powder, Concealer and a Foundation Stick which all feature the exclusive Maybelline Skin Merge technology. The technology is designed to deliver ultimate blendability, breathable skin and a seamless match to skin tone, thanks to it's homogenized pigments, sounds pretty good right? As I've been road testing the Fit Me Concealer in shade 10 Light (£5.29) for a while now I thought Id review it for you all today.

The Maybelline Fit Me Concealer* is available in six shades Light, Fair, Sand, Medium, Cafe and Deep and comes in pretty standard plastic packaging that holds 6.8mls of product and has an unscrewable lid with a doe foot applicator attached, I do really like doe foot applicator as I find them nice and precise and you can get to all the nooks a crannies with it ha ha. As this is a gel based concealer I did wonder if the consistency would be on the thicker side but actually its not, its quite a thin, slick feeling consistency which is nice as it blends out beautifully. The finish of the Fit Me Concealer is lovely, it honestly feels like a second skin, its so weightless, non cakey and it docent cling to any of my dry patches that I'm prone to getting which is a major plus, I also feel like it has some kind of dewy look too it as well which is something that Ive never really experienced with a concealer. Now onto the main defining factor, is this concealer great for coverage... I'd say it provides a medium amount of coverage and certainly does a good job of making my under my eyes appear brighter whilst successfully covering any darkness and imperfections. The lasting power of the Fit Me Concealer Id label as just OK, I've not been using powder much recently as I've been going for a more dewy look to my skin and I find after about 4 hours I could use a touch up, that being said over the past week I've used a powder to set the concealer into place just to see how long the concealer lasted and it actually stays in place a good 8 hours when its set, so if your going for a more dewy look be prepared to pop the concealer in your hand bag for touch ups.

Overall I really do like this concealer and it was the finish that really blew me away, it's literally like silk, arrhhh I love it!

You can find the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer along with the rest of the Fit Me Collection on the Chemist Direct website, its the UK’s largest online health care and pharmacy business, providing quick and affordable delivery of tens of thousands of health and beauty products, whats best is you can save a few pennies on there too he he.
