Rimmel London purchases + Nails :D



Once again I did this free hand using OPI's Absolutely Alice! I honestly need to go and buy some jewels, brushes and nail art polishes so I can decorate it! But, I honestly do not have time for it now... so I'll let post-HSC me do it HAHAHA I feel so full because I just went KFC with Mariam, i love her! I can seriously talk to her about anything.. HI MARIAM WHEN YOU READ THIS :D

I also went Newtown and City yesterday, but I won't blog further about it because I'm waiting for Danny to upload some photos!!! My trials are finished... and damn do I feel so freeeeeeeee !! Life has also been very hectic for the past couple of days but I'll refrain myself from elaborating it here!

Anyways, so I spent $18 on this gorgeous ring from Newtown! The stone is from some land and the man was so nice and even gave me these ribbon string things that he was selling :D (picture below). You just do not find these type of rings anywhere else.

Once again, excuse me for the bad lighting, if you live in Sydney, you would know that it has been having such bad weather for the past couple of weeks... This is what global warming is doing to us!









I also went to purchase two Rimmel products from Priceline. If you didn't realise, for mascara, I tend to just purchase normal brands. It's because I use it a lot, so I don't want to be spending $40-50 on YSL's(I was very close to) when I'm just going to throw it out in two or three months. Anyways, I did not realise the counter person ripped me off until today *ANGRYFACE*. She did not give my 20% discount!!!! LOL But yeah, for you readers, there's a 20% off on Rimmel products ;D I bought a liquid eyeliner because my Australis one was running out. I decided to go and try something new!







One thing I did not like about this was that it does not stay on long when you first apply it. I'll compare it with the australis. First one to the top is the Rimmel London one, whereas the one towards the bottom is the Australis.

Applied(my Australis one was running out, it's as black as the Rimmel London one):


Rubbed once after 5 minutes, for some reason, you can't noticeably see it, but the Rimmel London smudged... the Australis one didn't! :


Rubbed with water once after 5 minutes:


Aggressively rubbed off:


I'm not much of a fan of the "brush" tip of Rimmel's liquid eyeliner because I find it too flexible. I prefer the rigid tips because you actually have a better grasp on it and you can apply it more meticulously.

I then purchased a waterproof mascara because I needed it to help my eyes out cause I know I'll be crying next week because of my trial marks LOL





I really do like how the brush has been set out. This brush is perfect for the eyelashes at the bottom cause there is so much precision.










(You can tell by what I mean about the liquid eyeliner smudging)

I actually really like using this because it just gives me an enough push to my eyelashes. It's not much, but I LOVE IT FOR THE BOTTOM OF MY EYELASHES! HAHA I know it's waterproof, so I went into the shower and about 50% of it came off. I'll just have to purchase more waterproof mascaras to test it all out and get back to you guys :D I'll let you guys know if the mascara still remains when I cry receiving my marks back ;)

I hope everyone has a great weekend! xx

Thanks for visiting and following!

I love your ring! And I'm so amazed that you have YSL lippies and S&B jeans when you're only in YEAR 12 WOW LOL! When I was in year 12 I'm pretty sure I was still wearing Valleygirl clothing. Embarassment, haha.

Yes, weather has been a total bitch lately and its SO COLD TONIGHT. *ok random* LOL

I think Maybelline has the best mascara!! Cover Girl Lash Blast is the HG mascara for most girls but I don't really like the brush cos its too fat =.="

Love the ringgggg <3

Hi!! thanks for visiting my blog and commenting xD
I'm with you on cheap mascaras, there's no point in spending $40 on a high end mascara that you're gonna throw out in 3 months. Besides I still don't see the difference between HE and drugstore mascaras.
A pretty good, non-smudging liquid liner is the L'Oreal Lineur Intense. It's got a felt tip, so it's much easier to use than brush tips.
I hope you got the marks you wanted!
