EYES: Line eyes with Revlon Bedroom Eyes Powder Liner in Smokin, blending more on top lid for a subtle smoky eye. Finish with a couple coats of Revlon Fabulash Mascara in Blackest Black.
CHEEKS: Blend Revlon Cream Blush in Rosy Glow onto the apples of your cheeks.
LIPS: Apply Revlon ColorStay Overtime Lipcolor in Keep Blushing for a soft pink lip and sheer top coat that lasts for hours.
Rimmel Volume Booster plumping lip gloss boasts “up to 40% fuller lips with a collagen effect” and “starts to work when the tingling begins.” (emphasis mine).
I picked this up on a whim because of the sparkles and pretty color (I chose Volume Booster in “Attract”). The wand has a brush tip and the formula goes on smooth and creamy. I liken the look and texture to MAC Lustreglass. It left my lips looking full, glimmering, and shiny. The formula did begin to tingle my lips, which feels pretty cool. Whether or not this gloss actually “plumps” I will not say… What I will say is that any gloss with this much shine and sparkle will make your lips appear fuller.
Verdict: I like Rimmel Volume Booster gloss for the look, feel, and pleasant smell. The shine gives your lips a fuller look, and for the price ($5) you get what you pay for. Great gloss!
Today I went out – blindly – to pick up a last-minute box of contact lenses as I lost my last pair. My blogger bud J asked me if I had backup eyeglasses to wear in case my contacts are ever lost or expired – and nope, I do not! So, I’ve made a point to purchase a pair (or two!) of chic, trendy eyeglasses to match my style. Designer labels do not matter, as I am on a budget and know that you can be frugal and look cute at the same time!
That’s where Zenni Optical comes in… They’ve got great styles of chic eyeglasses at amazingly affordable prices. Plus, their Holiday frames are too adorable! I myself have a thing for mint and olive green tones so the glasses I’ve pictured in this post are the ones I’d get. However, Zenni Optical features eyeglasses in a variety of colors and frame styles (including full-rim, half-rim, rimless, and stainless steel), so anyone is bound to find a pair that matches their personality. If you’re shopping for your man or child, Zenni’s got styles for them as well.
Zenni Optimal eyeglasses start at only $8, so make your selection for a chic new pair of eye glasses today!
