Rimmel Scandaleyes Extreme Black Mascara

I love indulging in so many makeup products, but for me mascara is a staple, a necessity. Something I don't ever want to be without! What I do try and stick to now is only having one mascara opened at a time. Mascara goes bad fairly quick compared to most other products, I really don't want any drying out because I have no order of use.

 I've had Rimmel Scandaleyes Extreme Black mascara in my stash for a while. I bought it back when the Scandaleyes range was new. Of course, I could have waited, but no I HAD to have it, even though it wouldn't be opened until months later!

 Taken from Rimmel London Australia- "For lashes so big, it's almost criminal! High impact colour thanks to extreme black pigments, MaxDensity brush: Our biggest brush ever. Captures and plumps every lash, Supersize formula with collagen and keratin."
I love the tapered tube. The orange is striking, especially with that black background behind the lettering.

 The brush is quite large.

Of course, I had to get the Extreme Black version. I love me some blackest black mascara. I do find the pigment to be indeed a true black.

What I am not a fan of is the brush. I just find the circumference too big, especially for those inner lashes. 

This product does provide volume and length, the 2 things I want from a mascara. Unfortunately what comes with that, in this case is clumpy lashes. I do wonder that over time, when the mascara has dried out a little, the formula might be easier to work with. Because I've only just opened it, it is very wet. Instead of just scraping off product as I pull the wand out of the bottle, I've actually had to also  dab the brush onto a face wipe to remove the excess.

You know what, though? I don't hate this mascara, or even dislike it. I'm happy to continue using, now that I've found a technique that helps avoid a lot of the clumping. Needing to brush through my lashes more than I normally would, does take a little time, but the results are worth it. I'll let the photo do the talking :)

 What a difference this mascara makes to my lashes!

What's your current fave mascara?

    Your eyes look perdy, with and without it! My fave is an all natural indie brand, Crush Cosmetics- they sell on ETSY. Its one of the few mascaras I can use without getting dermatitis! No drugstore mascaras for me unfortunately...

      Christina, you are too kind! I have some eye shadows from Crush Cosmetics, but am yet to try the mascara. Thankfully you've found a mascara that works for you. I just can't imagine a mascara-less world, lol xx

BYS Berries Palette

Image
I have bought from the brand BYS in the past, but I can't say I've actually sought out anything from them. Well, that was until I saw swatches popping up on my Instagram feed of the Berries palette.  It's a 12 pan palette and has a similar vibe going on to the much loved and raved about ABH Modern Renaissance palette. Of course, I do not own the pricier ABH palette, but I just had to have the Berries palette. Taken from BYS - "BYS Berries Eye Shadow Palette features an array of 12 expertly chosen, highly pigmented matte and metallic eye shadows. The 12 piece palette comes housed in a modern, embossed tin. featuring a mirror and 2 dual end applicators." The tin packaging of this palette is really cute, it reminds me of the Naked 2 and 3 palettes. It is a little bulky, but I like it. Let's take a peek inside Oh yes, I'm all about those warm orange and plum tones. There are 3 shimmery shades and the rest are matte. Here's the sw

BH Cosmetics Carli Bybel Deluxe Palette and Giveaway

Image
When BH Cosmetics released the original Carli Bybel palette I was tossing up whether I was going to purchase it or not. Sure, it was pretty with lovely neutral shades, but I was trying to cut down my eye shadow palette buying to only palettes that I really, really had to have and I wasn't convinced that was the case. When the Carli Bybel Deluxe version was released containing 15 shadows and 6 highlighters as opposed to the original which had 10 eye shadows and 3 highlighters, I had to have it. I went as far as pre-ordering the palette before it was even released. The sneak peek swatches had won me over! Taken from BH Cosmetics - "This palette features 11 original shades plus 10 chic new shadows and highlighters in buttery blendable formulas with staying power." The palette is a large square with magnet closure and complete with a cardboard sleeve. The palette is so pretty, I love the rose gold writing on the quilted pintuck background design.
