Review - Scandaleyes Retro Glam by Rimmel

here's my fab find - Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara by Rimmel

We all know that there are plenty of mascaras out there that promise great things and tempt us to purchase them only to be disappointed in the end. But this one, my friends, does the job. It's an excellent everyday use mascara that will make your lashes appear fuller and longer in an instant and as it says will give you that 60's wide eyed look

However, if you do try and coat it twice or thrice, it might get clumpy but the solution is to scape the excess product off the wand before use

I say it's an excellent everyday use mascara because, A, it gives you false-lash look without much trouble, B, it's pocket friendly and C, it's NOT waterproof so you can wash it off easily at the end of the day

For some the brush might be too big or hefty to use, in that case, you can use the tip of the wand to coat your lashes individually

I have been wearing it to work everyday and have not witnessed it to smudge or smear

So feel free to pick it up at your next drug store visit!

Review - Boi-ing by Benefit

writing my review after a year! ugh.. I know.. It's a shame..! But here's my take on the much talked about concealer Boi-ing by Benefit cosmetics

my guinea pig for the trial was my colleague/friend with medium-tan skin tone so for her I used the following shade

The before and after application:

My take:

Boi-ing delivers what it promises. It gives you full coverage that lasts upto 6-8 hours. If you're looking for a heavy duty concealer; you've found one!

The texture is creamy and a little dry so I will not recommend it to people with dry or aged skin as it may look cakey or crease

I would advise you to go easy when applying as a little goes a long way. Coating too much will only cause it to cake up or crease after some time

When applying with your finger, always dab the concealer onto your skin. Rubbing motion will cause lines. To make it (or any other concealer) stay longer and to avoid creasing finish off with a face powder

With the extended range it is now available in 5 shades and costs $20 (AED 89)
