Rimmel London Wonder' Swipe Voxbox

Straight from the source, the Wonder Swipe Eyeliner's claim's are as follows: 

"SWIPE TO TRANSFORM! Breakthrough formula you can transform with the stroke of a finger..
  • 2-in-1 formula: a bold metallic liner that can be transformed into a sparkly shadow with one swipe
  • 16 ultra pigmented shades
  • Layer and combine the formula to create unique, show-stopping looks
  • Up to 10 hours wear
  • Smudge-proof, transfer-proof, touch-proof"

I received mine in the color 006 My Bae (fourth from the left), which is very... pink.  I love pink toned eyeshadows, but you've got to be careful!  It is sometimes difficult to walk that line between sunset eyeshadow look and child who broke into their mom's makeup.  Using this as a standalone eyeliner almost takes it a step further to, my child stole used my makeup and the gave me pink eye.
Sorry, extended metaphor, moving on.
It is like a paintbrush style applicator, but it is hard like a silicone tip instead of brush hairs.  It makes application fairly clean and easy for eyeliner, but not as much so for shadow.  You also have to be sure not to get too much product on the applicator at one time or it will be everywhere!
This is like Barbie sparkly pink.  It is just a bit too much for an eyeliner on its own!  It isn't bright enough to stand out as a bold choice,  but definitely isn't subtle enough to be everyday. If used as a color pop over a black winged liner it is pretty, but otherwise I don't see myself getting a lot of use out of this.


Once again, from their website the Wow Wings Mascara's claim's are:

"Instant WOW volume & flared out corner lashes for a perfect winged out look!
  • Unique 2-sided brush: Load up with the winged side, flare out with the curved side
  • Instant bold, volumized lashes - up to 11 times the volume
  • Lifts and flares out each of your lashes
  • Long lasting, smudge-proof, flake-proof, easy to remove
  • Dermatologist & ophthalmologist tested"

This product I was significantly more impressed with!  I had tried Rimmel Mascara in the past, and to say it was a flop was an understatement... In ten minutes it was smudged and flaked so badly that it was unwearable.  This product however, is slowly making its way into my regular rotation.  It is dark, has a nice effect on my lashes, and doesn't smudge!  By the end of the day I have noticed a few flakes, but nothing horrible.  
The brush on this is a bit odd... As it says in the description, it is two sided, but I can't exactly figure out which side to use or how it is intended to be used.  But that could very well be user error.

Overall, both of these products were very nice!  I preferred the mascara to the eyeliner, but I can see liking the eyeliner better if it was a different color.  However, you can create a nice going out eye look using them!

I did receive these products free from Influenster, but all opinions are honest and my own.

VoxBox: Tressemé Beauty-Full Volume

I know I don't usually post at 9 o'clock on Monday nights, but I wanted to go ahead and get this out to you all while I had time, because... I got another VoxBox! This one was the Tresemmé Reverse Your Routine box with a full sized shampoo and conditioner. This is a Volumizing system, and is reffered to as "Reverse Your Routine" because you conditioner before you shampoo... Weird right?  I have to say I was a little confused and skeptical at first. The concept is that when you put conditioner in your hair and rinse then residue is left on weighing down your hair.  My thoughts were that the residue left were the moisturizing properties and that you wouldn't want to rid yourself of all of them... It just seemed a little pointless. I have been using this combination periodically for a few weeks now, and surprisingly I actually really like it!  When I get out of the shower my hair does feel much lighter than usual.  Though it is hard to tell if I have...

Summer Essentials: Makeup Bags

This is the first of a new series called the "Summer Essentials"!  Enjoy! :) So... when you are going somewhere on vacation you can't just carry all of your makeup around in your hands, I mean who does that! We've got to pack in style! I found quite a few different makeup bag, case, and organizer options, and most are at relatively cheap prices! Check them out and find the one that is perfect for you!! :) 1. This is a small sequined cloth bag with a zipper top. Cloth is less structured and is more apt to absorb spills, but you can also just toss it into the washing machine when it gets dirty.  This would be a bag I would stick into my purse for the day or for an overnight trip. It's dimensions are   7" High x 10" Wide x 2" Deep It comes in Blue and White, Black and White, and Pink and Black. $5.80 at  www.forever21.com/beauty_acc 2.

Ipsy: June

So guys... I resubscribed to Ipsy!  Since I was back to having a summer job I figured I could spare $10 a month!  And so far, this bag wasn't the best, but I updated my profile so it will take a minute for them to readapt. The bag this month though... It is on my swap site on MySubscriptionAddiction if you want it!  Needless to say, I wasn't impressed. This is the Kokie nail polish in the color Gone Rio.  I hadn't ever heard of this brand before, but the packaging is adorable!  Apparently you can buy it at Walmart for around $5.  The color is a really nice orange-y coral and it has a decent lasting power considering how rough I am on my nails!  Overall I liked it and I would buy from this brand again. This is the City Color Shimmer Shadow in the color Cheers to Life.  It is a pretty basic sandy brown with a ton of shimmer, obviously!  City Color isn't my favorite brand to get because it is fairly cheap and the products are ki...
