Let me tell you some craziness that has been going on. The weather! I am sure we are not the only ones experiencing this intense weirdness right? Let's see we've had snow....then we had an ice storm, then on Feb 15th we had an earth quake...YES an earth quake. Also, I have been sick along with my daughter. Big absence from the blog. We're better, for now. Lots of other things have been playing a long in my absence too but those are still pretty personal.
So, let me get moving along with that review I promised over a month ago on the Influenster Mega VoxBox I won. It came with a whole different variety of the Rimmel scandal collection.
There is the pretty purple box in all its glory!
Here is everything in the box I received. I also just wanted to say I realized I did not take a pic of everything in the box. My apologies! So, I will just find them on the Rimmel website and post it here.
1.This is the Stay Matte Primer...as you can see it states. This is a pretty good primer and does well at smoothing out your skin without a oily type slick on your skin. I just know that you don't have to use a lot and make sure you put it on either patting or rubbing in completely, because if not it can leave white marks. I still use my other "primer" The Monistat Chaffing relief gel powder...yes...I do and it works just as good as any primer I've used if not better. It is in a big tube for not a lot of money. Win/Win!
2. Stay Matte Blush! I got my color I believe in Peach Flush. I am personally a little stand offish when it comes to a cream or liquid type of blush because I am afraid I will go too over board with it. I haven't used this but maybe once. I liked it and you MUST blend! As I always say a little goes a LONG way.
3. Rimmel Scandal Eyes Retro Glam Black Mascara Volume. I do like this Mascara a lot. It does give pretty good volume and I like that it isn't clumpy. I hate clumps. I have tried it a few times but I am still stuck on my Benefit's They're Real mascara that I got as a free gift. Its amazing!
4. Rimmel's Glam Eye shadow in 5 shades. The color I got was called "Brick Lane" I absolutely LOVE this eyeshadow. I do however suggest using an eye primer so you will be able to have a beautiful all day look with no creasing. The shades compliment brown eyes and hazel eyes wonderfully. The shadow is smooth and goes on easily, the colors are also rich.
5. Rimmel Scandal Eyes Eye shadow stick. I believe the color I got was BulletProof Beige. I like these type of eye shadows because I take them and use them as a base. Meaning after putting on my eye primer, I next put on the eyeshadow stick as a base color then take a powder eye shadow like above #4 and take a similar color to add a bit of a POP to it! A nice layering effect. I have a few different shades in the NYX brand of eye shadow sticks I do the same thing with.
6. Rimmel Scandal Eyes Waterproof Eyeliner. I must say I have fallen in love with this and it is now the ONLY eyeliner I will use. It goes on super smooth and has a deep, dark, rich black color. Like, REALLY black. Perfection in a stick! If you're like me and line your water line then this is definitely the eyeliner you need.
7. Rimmel Moisture Renew Lipstick in the shade Coral Shimmer I believe. I personally am not a big fan of lipsticks. I hate the way they feel on my lips and just...no. This one however though does give the moisture I look for in a gloss that comes in a rich color. I just take a light swipe of those over my lips and top it with a complimentary gloss shade and voila! Pretty! (Sorry this pic is terrible isn't it?)
Well, that was the Rimmel VoxBox I got with awesome goodies in it. I hope you enjoyed the reviews and post. If there is anything you'd like to suggest that I review or even try by all means please leave a comment below and I will definitely consider doing a post about it.
