Rimmel Provocalips
I gave this product a try last weekend and I have to say I was really amazed. I have the shade I'll Call You and it's beautiful.
The application was a little off for me, it seemed to take a while to dry on my lips, but I did really like the second step it left a really soft matte finish.
Not 16 hours but it was a solid 7 before I noticed fading and that was after a couple cups of coffee and a full dinner.
Did not transfer, I gave it some kiss tests and wore it through a few drinks and a meal and there was no colour transfer.
I completely recommed these to everyone, there is a nice array of colours and shades, from pale nude to rich red, and the price point is great. I picked mine up from Walmart for $8.94
Here's what Rimmel has to say about there product:
Up to 16 Hours of lip liberation. Wild without a trace!
• Kiss proof, transfer proof, trouble proof high impact endless colour.
• No tight feeling or dry lips. Lips feel smooth and moisturized all day long.
• Easy removal with Oil based makeup remover
STEP 1: Apply colour and keep lips apart for 60 seconds until the product sets.
STEP 2: Apply topcoat to lock the colour, moisture and add shine.
Let me know what you thought of this product.

Rimmel Wonder'lash with Argan Oil Review
Rimmel Wonder'Lash Mascara with Argan Oil
I purchased this a month or so ago on a whim. I think purely on the mention of Argan Oil and once I got home I thought "wow that was a impulse purchase and I probably will be disappointed". Was I ever wrong!
Pro's this has really lovely packaging. I love a bigger tube for mascara, not huge but I find them more interesting and easier to handle as compared to the traditional tubes.
The formula is really nice, it glides on and is somewhat buildable, it seperates nicely and gives a nice natural volume with a touch of length. No flaking through out the day leaves me with a really nice opinion on this product.
Con's nothing to noteable. If however you are looking for really dramatic lashes this will not do the trick. It gives a really nice natural volumized look, great for summer of casual day looks. Thy also have a waterproof formula that I haven't tried but if it performes as this one, it would be a great beach choice.
I can't recall the price I think it was around $8.00 Canadian from Walmart.
This is the company blurb below. Let me know what you guys thought of this product.
Definition & Clump-Free Volumizing Mascara

Glitz, Glamour, Cocktails!
Glitz, Glamour, Cocktails!
So many upcoming events this month. You need something festive, appropriate, and unique for each. Weither it's a company Christmas dinner, cocktails with close friends, or a full day of casual family fun. There are plenty of options and fun ways to spice it up for the holiday season.
Holidays are about excess and richness. Rich foods, decedent desserts, and the same goes for your look. Evening parties are the time for dark colours, sequins, lace and intricate patterns are what we reach for first. Smokey eyes in deep plums, navy, jewel tones, and black framed with soooo long lashes and touched with sparkle. Rich shimmery stained lips. Elegant up dos and a ton of jewelry complete this evening look.
Not all holiday events call for all out glam. Afternoon coffee get togethers, tree trimming parties or a cookie exchange with the girls. I love big soft curls this time of year. It's pretty and with the wind and the static from car heat it's just easier then a smooth poker straight do. Natural make up with glossy lips lots of lashes and well highlighted skin gives a kind of heavenly glow. Match up with comfy sweaters and your all set for good company good laughed and maybe a good cuddle by the fire!
For all the events in between. Say family dinners where you want to look elegant and festive but still be comfortable and able to tumble about on the floor playing with the kids or just hanging out on the couch catching up with loved ones. I like to take the approach of mixing the two looks above, glam the make up but do a comfy outfit. Wearing jeans? Stick to dark washes and play it up with a beautiful top and lots of accessories. For all day events you can even consider bringing a change of clothing and some extra make up to dress it up for dinner.
Whatever you wear and whatever you do, have fun this holiday season take chances, and take a moment to reflect and really enjoy it.

12 Days of Blogging Day 12
12 Days of Blogging Day 12
It's here! We did it, the end of the twelve days has arrived. Today's topic is "whatever I want". So I think I am just going to sit here and ramble out whatever comes to mind. :)
I am really enjoying writing in here more oftern. Even if this isn't something grand, or days when it's just something really quick. It gives a feeling of connection and really being involved in the communtity here. More so then just reading everyone elses posts. I really intended to put more time into this in the coming weeks and months and really focus on my channel as well. I am finding I get a lot of fulfillment out of filming and hope to improve my skills at it, and start dabbling in editing and perhaps a new camera or lighting in the new year. I think I want to try to get to around 2-3 vids a week and start really focusing on tutorials and full looks and info instead of manily unboxing/reviews. Just to broaden my space a bit.
Completely random but the worst most complicated thing in the world. At least for me, today lol Is trying to teach my father how to do a E-transfer! OMG thats all I really need to say about that. If you have a parent who is over 60 and not really that computer savy you understand this. You get it, right? Right. I thought it would be easier then going to the bank and then to his place to hand over cash. Apparently that would have taken like all day but would have saved so much stress.
Just a quick thank you to everyone who took part in this challenge, created and shared this challenge, and to those who read them all!
Till next time!

12 Days of Blogging Day 11
12 Days of Blogging Day 11
Day 11 is here! The topic is "tell us 3 things you are loving" I love a lot of things but these are my latest absolute crazes.
Tv Shows I just finished watching Masters of Sex and I loved it! I could not stop watching it, I love binge watching tv series. Anyway I don't want to say much about this cause I don't want to be a spoiler, but I really enjoyed this one, and the characters in it.
My second love is the Glam Glow Supermud Clearing Treatment. I frickin' love this. I have used it twice and have noticed probably a 60% change in my skin. Over almost the last year my skin has been going crazy and I have been breaking out and having A LOT of texturearound my jawline and forhead. I have used a lot of different creams some medicated and I was taking pills for a few months and nothing was making any improvements. I am so pleased with this. I feel like my forhead and around the eyes is nearly clear, my nose is perfect as can be, and my jawline and lower cheeks have cleared up markably. I can't wait to see if this continues over a few more uses.
Add a seasonal love, Starbucks White Peppermint Mocha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't really need to give reasons why this is such a wonderful thing right, like it just is!!
What are you guys loving right now?
