REVIEW: Rimmel London ScandalEyes Rockin' Curves Mascara

RIMMEL LONDON SCANDALEYES ROCKIN’ CURVES MASCARA 

**RRP - $16.95**

Be part of the new rock generation! Introducing Rimmel’s first mascara that creates rock doll lashes in one easy stroke: new ScandalEyes Rockin’ Curves Mascara. Forget big hair, it’s time for big, loud lashes!


The fierce retro-rock trend demands a wild-child lash-look. ScandalEyes Rockin’ Curves Mascara has a new broken-heart brush to create a fringe of big, curvy, rockin’ lashes. this cleverly-shaped applicator twists and curves to hug the lash line; the thin tip grabs hard-to-reach inner lashes, while the amplified base pulses lashes with incredible volume and curve. lashes are plumped and lifted in one clean stroke. No clumps! 

The benefits you obtain from this mascara really show, as you can see from my photo below with the mascara on. 

I love mascara as a beauty product and it would honestly be a product I could not live without - If I had to pick to pick only one thing to keep from my make up collection mascara would be it! And honestly if I was to pick 1 mascara to have a life time supply of I would 100% say Rimmel London's ScandalEyes Rockin' Curves Mascara!
I have never been more happier with a product. The product goes on easily without clumps.

The best way to use this mascara is to roll up on your eyelashes to get maximum effect and make sure you wiggle both ways by using the wand applicator both ways - horizon and diagonally onto your lashes. 
With the more strokes you do the thicker and fuller effect you will get.

(R) Without ScandalEyes Rockin' Curves Mascara

The packing is a ‘80s rock-inspired with a textured animal print (snake skin) pattern for maximum stand-out. 
There is so many animal print lovers out there along with myself so this definitely would catch my eye in the stores!
Along with the use of the predominant colors red & black!

The wand applicator was definitely different to other mascaras so I was a bit weirded out by it at first but after using this I couldn't ever go back to the straight wands again with seeing the amazing changes within my lashes with this mascara. 

Rimmel London ScandalEyes Rockin' Curves mascara has found it's new home in my daily makeup case and wears really well throughout the day - staying strong and looking just as good as it did when first applied!

HOT TIP for mascara use: For sanitary reasons only yourself should use the wand applicator, if you intend to share be sure to use disposable wands for all other users. 

Available from Priceline, Priceline Pharmacy, Target, Kmart, BIG W, selected pharmacies and selected Coles and Woolworths stores.
For stockists please call 1800 812 663.

The Kidstore - Autumn 2014 Range + in-store sale haul

As the weather simmers down to welcome cooler days and chilly nights, The Kidstore launches their 2014 autumn collection.

Designed for kids in Australia, but drawn from diverse international inspirations, the new season takes you from old school varsity styling to American grunge, mixing stars and stripes, leopard print, metallic and monster based graphics.

Denim is key for the season and features heavily throughout the range along with other wearable autumn fabrications including cosy knits, fashionable fleece and fun embellishments.

Each individually designed piece in the collection can be layered and mixed together to create individual looks, allowing kids to use their imaginations to create their own unique style.

The new season collection is available in-store now with sizes range from newborn to 12 years. RRPs range from $15 - $60.




















(L) Newborn graphic tee $18, Fleece hoodie $30 and leggings $18
(R) Newborn Instarsia knit $35, Beanie $15 and leggings $18
Boys denim shirt $40, White henley $20 and Chino shorts $35.

As you may know I am a big lover of The Kidstore and my little miss sports alot of The Kidstore clothing! 
We ventured down to check out the autumn collection in person in-store and here is 2 things I really adored:
 (L) Pink puffer jacket $35 RRP
(R) Navy & Red heart printed cardigan $35 RRP









We couldn't go past the beanie with the ears for miss Niah so we came home with it - I can't wait till this chilly weather comes on so she can wear it out! (Her little pomp pomp like ears are a little bit floppy at the moment - she's got some head space to grow into haha)


Whilst there we did a little bit of a haul on the sale items they were clearing out and picked up some MASSIVE bargains:

Zebra top - $9 (originally $13)
Purple striped long sleeve top - $6 (originally $15)
Pink skirt overalls - $15 (originally $30)
Milk bottle long sleeve top - $5 (originally $15)
Fuchsia coat - $18 (originally $50)
Tiger glitter top - $9 (originally $13)
Knitted Beanie with ears - $15 (non sale item)

But then if you buy 2 sale items you get 1 sale item free!!! So we ended up getting the Tiger glitter top & Purple striped long sleeve top for free!! Who doesn't love freebies right?!!

I also have to admit that the Fuchsia coat isn't going to fit Miss Niahbella unfortunately - it's a size 0-3 months but I loved it soooo much that I had to buy it. Dan was telling me to put it back in the shop as we didn't need it but I just had to have it, I convinced him with the 'I'm saving it for the next baby!! haha'.

Ryan Reynolds - Signs as new Face of L'Oreal Paris Men Expert


RYAN REYNOLDS
CHARISMATIC MAN OF ACTION. NEW SPOKESPERSON OF MEN EXPERT.

He’s spirited. He’s rugged. He’s wit-blessed. Ryan Reynolds is becoming Men Expert’s new Spokesperson. The actor’s rare ability to cast action, sci-fi and humorous roles with equal ease has hastened his rise into the ranks of Hollywood’s most-favored. With his bold masculine look and infallible charm, Ryan will represent the iconic franchise Hydra Energetic.

“Ryan Reynolds is the perfect embodiment of the contemporary man: genuine, uninhibited, strong and powerfully charming. Incredibly talented, he strikes as an enthusiastic and generous actor, a perfect match for Men Expert. We’re thrilled to welcome him, especially since 2014 marks the 10th Anniversary this year! What a great way to celebrate.” said Cyril Chapuy, Brand Global President.

“I feel honored and excited to join Men Expert, a brand that represents the essence of modernity, edginess and technology. I love the driving force that leads it to constantly provide the best products for men like me who are always doing 1000 things at the same time.” said Ryan.


The 37-year old Canadian actor and producer Ryan Reynolds officially started his movie career at the age of 14 when he obtained his first role in the Nickelodeon
series Fifteen (1990-91). He then appeared in several TV series including The Odyssey (1992), The Outer Limits (1995 and 1998) and The X-Files (1996). The year 1997 marked a turning point in his career as he was offered the leading role as Berg in Two Guys and a Girl. Although he had initially performed primarily in comedies, Ryan was quickly spotted by film-industry leading figures who recognized him for his potential as a multi-role actor. He was then offered roles in movies including Andrew Douglas’ The Amityville Horror (2005) where he played George Lutz, and crime action film Smokin’ Aces (2006) where he cast a role as an FBI agent. But Ryan is probably best-known for starring in Anne Fletcher’s romantic comedy The Proposal (2009), alongside Sandra Bullock, which was at the top of US box office immediately after its release, Gavin Hood’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009), Rodrigo Cortés’ Buried (2010) or Daniel Espinosa’s action- thriller co-starring Denzel Washington Safe House (2012).

In 2014, Ryan will star in Atom Egoyan’s The Captive, Marjane Satrapi’s The Voices, and he will soon begin filming Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck’s Mississippi Grind.
He is now joining the L’Oréal Paris family, alongside Hugh Laurie, Jennifer Lopez, Julianne Moore, Jane Fonda, Eva Longoria, and Blake Lively.
