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.

Apartment Tour + Fall Decor!

It's coming a bit late, because by this point I have Christmas decor up, but why not?  It isn't December yet, and I loved my fall decor and wanted to show it off! Entrance and "Dining Room" We did our best to section off the living room/dining room/kitchen area so it had a house feel that trashy college apartment.  We also tried to add all the things we could to make it feel more bright and homey since only one piece of furniture in here is actually ours!  The rest was provided for us. So for the dining are my roommate who replaced her desk chair with a comfy version brought out her chair so we could have 5 seats.  We then added cute placemats which stay out year round For fall decor I added the glittery leaf centerpiece and a few candles, as well as the wine bottles! I painted these, and though they aren't my best I still liked them!  I used twine on the top, stickers from Target around the sides, and painters tape to make the letters, and th...

Review: Etsy Body Products!

Whipped Up Wonderful Whipped Up Wonderful is a wonderful Etsy company that I have had the opportunity to order from multiple times now, as you all saw in my  Truffle Themed Present  post. In this such oder I chose the Cinnamon Bun Bubble Bar.  First of all, it looks and smells exactly like you could just pop it in your mouth and eat it! It is $7.99, and can be broken apart and used for multiple baths.  As I said, it smells heavenly, makes tons of bubbles, and because the majority of the product is Cocoa butter it makes the water incredibly silky!  She has a fun promotion going, that if you post a picture of your products from her shop and she reposts your picture, you can mention it in you next order and get a free random bath bomb!  That is what I did in this case, and received the Orange Peel Bath Bomb.  I tend to go for warmer food scents, and this is a very herbal scent, but I will definitely still put it to use! One thing I love abou...

Venus Embrace #ItsNotMe Influenster VoxBox

Guys, I finally got another one!  If you weren't around for the first one I got  (here is the link to the first post) then I will explain what this is again. It is a site you sign up for where you take surveys and write reviews on products to earn points, and once you have enough points they will sometimes send you one of these Boxes! So just a little disclaimer, all of these products were sent to me for testing purposes by Influenster, but the opinions are all my own! So here is the box I received this time, It contained the Venus Embrace Sensitive Razor, an extra blade, a holder that suctions to the wall, and this little card explaining it! This is the little suction cup holder that came with the razor. It sticks to the shower wall, and is made to fit any Venus Embrace Razor Handle. This is the packaging of the extra razor blades. The smart person I am it took me forever to get it out! You just click the handle into it and it pops right out, bu...
