Rimmel haul

Image
 Products: Rimmel the only one matte lipstick 'The matte factor'                  Rimmel Scandal Eyes waterproof kohl kajal (001 black)                  Rimmel soft kohl (011 sable brown) The lipstick in encased in an attractive red tube. There is a band around the tube to indicate the color of the lipstick inside. The slanted lipstick bullet makes it easier to apply. The lipstick has a fruity smell of water melon but it just goes away once you have applied the lipstick. This is one lippie which although being matte, does not dry the lips. It is also highly pigmented and I didn't have to reapply for a good 5 hours. The lipstick can settle into the fine lines of the lips at the end of the day but it isn't so bad either [just rub the lips together and you are ok]. The lipstick costs 4 KD. So this is one lipstick which is affordable,pigmented, nondrying and long las...

Maybelline master ink liquid eyeliner

Image
When Boots has a buy 2 get one free offer ; and you end up wondering what is the third product to buy to avail this offer, the sales assistant leads me to this liquid eyeliner. Now my favourite eyeliner is from Bourjois (click here to read review). I thought, why not! Let me try a new one.  The Maybelline master ink liquid eyeliner comes in a black and white packaging. The cap is long and slender and body is black. It is available in satin and matte finishes. I bought the satin one in luminous black.  The product does have a chemical smell.  The brush is sturdy and pointy. You can get a thin line close to the eyelashes with this brush (now that requires a bit of practice). The product is very pigmented and gives a satiny finish (a bit shiny;not too much). The eyeliner stays put on the eyes without smudging till I take it off.  I prefer a matte finish when it comes to eyeliner and a flexible brush rather than a sturdy one; that is just a personal...

The Body Shop coconut oil hair shine

Image
This was one of those impulse buy product. I am always on the look out for cures to tame my frizzy hair. Sigh..It has a mind of it's own. Even after a generous application of conditioner post shampooing, it still frizzes out. grrrr. Ok...ahem...back to my post. TBS does have a Rainforest range of coconut oil but it isn't like 100% coconut oil. I spotted this while browsing the TBS. It caught my immediate attention because of two things printed on the tub: a) coconut oil  b) ALL HAIR TYPES Coconut oil is the best; whether it is for hair, body or for cooking. Well, i t is not entirely 100% coconut oil but has beeswax and other stuff added to it.  Price: 2.5KD The packaging is a small round tin tub - similar to a shoe polish tub.Its compact and travel friendly. The product has to be used up within 12 months of opening. It claims to smooth, add shine, condition and repair hair. The product is to be used on dry hair. The prod...
