Rimmel Scandaleyes Liner in Nude

Everyone loves these, and I have seen them on a number of my favorite blogs, so I had to pick it up!

 
 

This is Rimmel's Scandaleyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal liner in Nude. They came out along with the Scandaleyes shadow sticks and for about $5 they are a great deal and sooo long lasting!
 
 
I have never had a nude liner before, but it has changed my life. Use it by your tear duct to look instantly but not artificially awake, fix small imperfections, highlight above brows, line inner eye...do a million things with it! It lasts all day too!
 
 
 
So creamy, so versatile, and so cheap. What is not to love here?

Price: 10/10
Performance: 10/10
Color/Wearability: 10/10
Packaging: 10/10
Overall Quality: 10/10
 
Total: 50/50 = A+ = Pandamonium!
 
Go out and get one! Go!

Clinique Chubby Stick in Big Blue

I know I am a little late to the game on these...but I finally got one!
 

 

These are the new for Spring 2013 Clinique Chubby Stick Shadow Tint for Eyes. This lovely light blue is called Big Blue and is a sparkly grey/blue. They retail for $16, are long wearing, and smooth right on the eye without a brush.
 
 
The packaging comes in the same color as the shadow, making it easy to find in your makeup drawer and the actual stick is rounded, making it comfy to rub on your eye. It also twists up!
 
 
Chubby Sticks are for anyone that is a fan of easy to apply, travel with, and blend eyeshadow in a hurry. I think this is one of the better twist up shadow stick offerings on the market for a reasonable price. This particular shade is for someone who wants to experiment with blues but not something too dark or heavy. It is a light wash of color and can be blended out even more.
 
 
Here is one quick (and I mean two strokes) of the chubby stick across my eye. I sheered it out with my finger a bit. Such a pretty wash of color!
 
 
With a good primer these last about 8 hours without creasing. For more staying power, layer translucent powder in between layers of color and add two or more to increase the vibrancy. I really love Clinique Chubby Sticks for eyes!
 
Price: 9/10
Performance: 9/10
Color/Wearability: 9/10
Packaging: 10/10
Overall Quality: 10/10
 
Total: 47/50 = A = Pretty Panda!

Franken Tuesday! Lion Hearted Girl

Hello everyone, I am back with another installment of Franken Tuesdays! Can you guess who today's franken was inspired by?
 

 
 
 
If you guessed the gorgeous, fierce, loyal, brave Gryffindor from the Harry Potter series, you are absolutely right. Hermione is an awesome character that possesses both femininity and strength at the same time, so I wanted to create a polish that embodied that as well as paid homage to her house.
 
 
Lion Hearted Girl is a mix of big red hex glitter, big gold hex glitter, gold bar glitter, fine iridescent white glitter and fine red glitter in a clear base. From mixing and slight bleeding (which I hoped for) I got a red jelly base. Yay!
 
 
This is two coats of Lion Hearted Girl on bare nails (my index and ring fingers). I love how it is bold, girly, and fun at the same time. And of course, very Gryffindor!
 
 
It is even more amazing in real life and I can't help staring at my nails and feeling like Hermione myself! Besides the colors being distinctly Gryffindor, they also remind me of the pretty red dress she wears to Bill and Fleur's wedding in the films and her pretty golden brown curls.
 
 
Here is the full mani. Lion Hearted Girl on bare nails. Two coats of Goldeneye by O.P.I on my middle finger and two coats of The Spy Who Loved Me by O.P.I on my thumb and pinkie. Both polishes are from the James Bond collection.
 
What do you think of today's franken? Want to get your hands on your own? Next week I will be announcing my franken contest, so stay tuned!

Revlon Colorstay Overtime Mascara

Again...my mascara hunt continues...
 
I think I am getting closer to what I want in the drugstore realm though. Check it out!
 
 

Revlon Colorstay Overtime Lengthening Mascara in Blackest Black. For about $8, this mascara claims to last 24 hours, and be tear, sweat, and humidity proof. It needs dual phased makeup remover at the end of the day.
 

 
 
This is for someone who wants length and a tiny bit of volume. What I like about this mascara is that the formula is dry, drier than most I have tried so it is easy to layer and you get no smudges with very little wait time. The con to that is it makes your lashes look a little unhealthy. I like the very long packaging and the thin brush, you can really get the small little lashes.
 
 
Here it is with two coats on my eye. I like the color and the lengthening. This is a good everyday mascara without a lot of drama. It looks natural and is easy to apply. I did not test it for 24 hours because I do not sleep in my mascara, but I have been having terrible allergies and it did not run or smear, so it is tear proof. Good staying power.
 
 
The formula is very different and that makes it easy for me to do my mascara and eyeshadow without waiting around forever. I do wish it did more for my lashes though.
 
Price: 8/10
Performance: 9/10
Color/Wearability: 9/10
Packaging: 10/10
Overall Quality: 8/10

Total: 44/50 = B+ = Pleased Panda
 
Have you tried this? Any drugstore mascara faves?
