Rimmel London Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara Review and how to

If you haven't heard already Rimmel London has released a new mascara this month called Scandaleyes Retro Glam.
I received my mascara complimentary from Influenster in my Rose VoxBox it retails for 5.99. What a great price right!!

Okay so Ive been using this mascara for almost a month now and I'm really loving it. Most drug store mascaras have heavy,flaky,clumpy formulas I cannot tell you how many bottles of mascara I have thrown away not to mention I paid well about 5.99 for them also.

Rimmel Londons Scandaleyes Retro Glam doesn't weight my lashes down and it has a BIG wand which I love! The bigger the mascara bottle and wand the better for me! I always find that a big wand really lifts my lashes up high and Rimmel Londons hour glass shaped wand is perfect! It reaches the middle of my lashes perfectly which is a trouble spot for my lashes and it doesn't clump which is a big thing that i look for in my mascaras.

okay so i am going to tell you how i achieved my 

own eye-conic 60s look inspired by Georgia May Jagger.
First i primed my eyes and put a little on my eyebrows then placed tape on the sides of both of my eyes.

I started off with a black matte eyeshadow in the middle and cut my crease first then i added a grayish sort of shimmery shadow to my lid  and high lighted my brow bone.For the bottom of my eyes i used a flat brush and swiped that black matte shadow and smudged it.  For the lashes (my favorite!) i curled my lashes and applied Rimmel Londons Scanadaleyes Mascara. I used the middle to lengthen the middle of my lashes which are my trouble spot. I kind of wiggle the wand at the base of my lashes then comb them with the mascara wand until they reach the desired length. I was so excited because i didn't have to curl my lashes again after applying my mascara.
I finished off with a soft pink blush and a nude lip
Of course my look doesn't compare to Georgia May Jaggers but it was fun trying to recreate it.

I hope you enjoyed this blog because i have had so much fun testing this mascara  and don't forget to check it out for yourself it hit shelves this November! Make sure you have long sultry lashes for the holidays or give them as stocking stuffers.

Happy Holidays! 
XOXO,

November Glam Bag

Hello and Happy December! :)
I know this blog is long over due but unfortunately, I have been sick for the past few months. I'm sure you have read in my previous posts that I've been sick. All of these allergies and colds have finally turned into Bronchitis and Ive been miserable but now I'm getting better WOOOHOO :)
Anyways...
Here is the November Glam Bag I received from www.ipsy.com



In the November bag I received meet matt(e) eyeshadow in matt batali from the BALM,  Benefit they're real mascara,Starlet cosmetics eye pencil (in black), BareMinerals Marvelous Moxie lip gloss in Dare Devil and Nailtini nail lacquer in Millionaire

This was my first time subscribing and I really love all the products I received. At first i didn't like the eyeshadow but i found a good use for it. Now I like to use it for my eyebrows and as a liner under my eyes.

This picture i only have the meet matt(e) on my eyebrows


This picture I'm wearing the lip gloss and meet matt(e) eyebrows and eyelids.

I really love the nail polish and the eyeliner goes on so smooth. For only 10.00 a month it is truly a great deal. I have to say that I am very excited to see what they have planned for the December bag.

What are your must have beauty products this holiday season?

Thanks for reading
XoXo, Phelicia :)

My First Beauty Swap

Hello everyone!!
Its been crazy over here the past few weeks so that is why i haven't blogged everyday like i planned.

So, last week i received my first beauty swap box from a friend i made here on blogger, her name is Maria. I had so much fun just emailing and texting her that at one point i forgot we were doing a beauty swap.

What is a beauty swap? It is when you and another blogger (or person) get to know each other and find out your likes and dislikes. You set a budget and shop for items they would like or want to try.

It was so funny when we were chatting we both have the same skin tone,skin problems and like the same colors and items. (well, she knows more about make up then me) So i actually gained more than beauty products with this swap, i also made a really cool friend too :)



Here is my box (we also recycled our beauty items we no longed used or never used but that's a separate blog)

 

This is how everything looked once i unloaded my box.

 

We set a budget of 50.00 but we both went over so i think we spent around 60-70 not including the shipping which was 20.00 for us both.

 

 

This is what i received in my box:

I love the urban decay set! i havent tried the elf one yet. 

 

All three of these are great! I really love the whipes they smell great adn the makeup remover works so good. 

 

 

 

 

First two lipsticks are elf brand and the last is nyc. Ill update the colors later when i get my lipsticks

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I LOVE LOVE LOVE these bronzers!  The translucent powder is great also

 

The brushes are great!!

 

 

 

 

 

These colors look so fun i cant wait to try them

 

I also received some fun candies and snacks but i didn't take any pictures of them.

 

Here is a preview of some of the gifts i sent her but you will have to read her blog to see what she  received.
