Rimmel Glam'eyes Quad Eyeshadow - 002 Smokey Brun + EOTD

This is the second palette I am reviewing from my No Lancome Eyeshadow Challenge.  I don't have too many browns so when I saw that the Rimmel quads came with a $1 off coupon, Smokey Brun was an easy choice.

St. Moriz Dark Tanning Mousse Review


I have had mixed reviews with fan tanners in the past.  My first experience was in the 7th grade when my mum thought I was too pale and bought me one from the gym we went to. Ever since that, I have never tanned naturally :/ Just burned.  I am also super pale and my skin is very reactive with strange yellow/pink undertones.  I have tried Jurgen's gradual tanner which I felt didn't do much for me, Hawaiian Tropic's old tanning mousse which did wonders for my arms but for some reason would never tan my chest o.o, and St. Tropez tanning lotion while in college. I quickly became obsessed with St. Tropez but sadly my mini bottle quickly ran out and I wasn't all too keen on spending $40/bottle.  Then I got pointed in the direction of St. Moriz! It is the same awkward brown/green colour as St. Tropez (I do not have a sample of this anymore so I can't tell you if they are identical in colour but they are the same colour type) and for $11 including shipping from the UK, it was an easy buy!

Life @.@

Life has been crazy but now, after almost a month of working at my new job, I think I finally got my body under control as well as my skin! :DD This coming week there shall be two more eyeshadow reviews, a wig review, and I should be receiving another shipment from Cosmetic Love.

Revlon ColorStay 16 Hour Quad - 535 Goddess + EOTD

For about the last year now, I have been pretty much using the same eye shadows daily. Those eye shadows being Almay's old green eye palette and the two purple palettes I own from Lancome. My friend Rachael did my makeup the other day with her new Naked palette and I decided that I needed to experiment with eyeshadow again! I'm going to try to not use any Lancome palettes or my Almay one for one month. Which meant I obviously needed to go pick up some new eye shadows. I have seen some awesome reviews of Revlon's ColorStay 16 Hour quads and went to Target set on buying two or three of them. Sadly, they only had 5 palettes in stock: Goddess, Luscious, Adventurous, Brazen, and Seductive. Goddess was luckily on the top of my wish list, but I will have to go back another day for Attitude and Precocious.
