Merry Christmas Eve! For whatever reason, possibly because there is no snow in Cleveland, it does not feel like Christmas time. But what better way is there to get in the holiday spirit other than getting glammed up and throwing on your best party dress? The new holiday collection from Rimmel London will help me do just that. The collection includes foundation, blush/highlighter, eye shadow, mascara and lipgloss. The products are all perfect for going all glam or for day time as well! I was sent a few of the Stay Glossy Lip Glosses and a few of Glam’Eyes Mono Eye Shadows to review for the holidays.From the Stay Glossy line, I tried Stay My Rose, Fabulous!, Timeless Allure and Jewel in the Crown. The glosses are a nice size and retail around $4.99 each. The Soft Extend lip-sculpting wand is a nice size that makes application easy because it helps you to evenly coat your lips instead of a blob of gloss just bursting out. The colors are all shimmery and pretty, and have just enough sparkle to provide a playful look. The shimmer does not overwhelm and the gloss is smooth and remains in place, without drying or being sticky. Out of the four I was sent, my favorite was Timeless Allure, which is a rich berry color that actually looked nice with my fair skin, without overwhelming my face. The Stay Glossy Lipgloss comes in 13 different shades and range from soft and light, to dramatic and bold. If you are looking for a gloss that is sleek and pretty for the holidays, I highly reccomend you go out and give Stay Glossy a try. 

I was also sent a few of the Glam’Eyes Eye Shadow Collection to try as well. The shadows are smooth and rich and most importantly FUN. I tried Posh Peacock, Spicy Bronze and Jet Black. The colors stayed put, did not crease or turn oily. The pigment is crisp and just thick enough that a light application is noticeable. Apply more if you want a bolder look, like with Posh Peacock for example. Each shadow retails for around $3.49 at major retailers nation-wide.

I have a 12-page paper standing in the way of the end of my semester. Completing this paper signifies the last actual class assignment of my graduate school career and my mind is BLANK. Naturally, this paper has no assigned topic, but can be on anything of my choice relating to the class, which I actually feel is harder than pumping something out with an assigned topic. I am so close I can taste it and I can’t even muster the energy to put my name on the damn thing to get it going. Whenever this thing actually gets finished, I will be happy.Then I can actually maybe do some Christmas shopping….

Hope everyone has a great week!

xoxo

Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips are one product that I have never strayed away from. Not only were the pore strips one of the first products I remember purchasing as a teenager when I had NO CLUE what was going on with my skin, they have consistently remained part of my beauty routine. There are no comparable products on the market, and if there are, I am willing to bet that they do not work as effectively or fall in the same affordable price range that Biore does. Can we get back to the whole teenage skin issue? Those days were terrible. Biore helped me get through those days when all I knew was that I had to fix the pores on my face or else. Little did I know in teenage drama days, that I was actually prepping myself for a good skincare routine. Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips are something that you will find with casual, weekly use, can actually improve the look and feel of your skin. It’s gross to honestly stop and think about what actually hits your face in a day: your oily hands, dirt, polluted air, grime, etc. Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips can help you combat all those factors. And now with face strips, as well as the classic nose strips, your face has no reason to not be pleased. And don’t lie, you know you look at the strip the moment you pull it off.

BIore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips Can be found at major retailers nationwide.
