Review: Rimmel London ScandalEyes Mascara.

*Disclaimer: I was not contacted by any company to give a review on this product so these my honest thoughts and review.*

Recently, I ordered a free sample of mascara from a relatively new site called PinchMe.com, and if you haven't heard of it and you wouldn't mind trying something out before you commit to buying it, then I definitely recommend you checking out this site.

The sample that I decided I wanted to try was Rimmel London's ScandalEyes mascara. This is one of those brands that I've actually seen a lot of commericals for and have seen products in the drugstores but for so reason I've never tried out any of their products, but after trying out their mascara I think I might just start trying out more of their products.

I actually really like this mascara a lot.
And because the mascara arrived without any packaging just the tube I don't know exactly what it's "claims' are besides from what is on the side of the tube.

When I first applied it, I only applied it to one eye so that I would be able to compare the difference.
But right of the bat I was able to notice things that I liked.

The first thing that I was able to notice how smoothly it was able to coat each lash, usually I have to use to the brush to tug on my lashes a bit so that they all get evenly coated.

Another thing that I really like is that the formula isn't as clumpy as other mascara's I have tried.
Yes, the label so say "No Clumps !" but let's face it there's so many mascaras that claim they don't clump but even those clump just a little.

Something else that I like about this mascara is that my lashes still look really natural. It doesn't look fake or like I put mascara on at all. Which is nice for when you want to go for a more natural look or if you have to run out really quick but want just something on your face.
I also love that this mascara leaves your eye lashes touchable. It wasn't something I particularly look for it mascaras but it's nice to be able to touch my eyelashes without them feeling "crunchy". And because you don't get that "crunchy" feel after putting on a coat of mascara, you can put on more than one coat without getting that weighed down feeling on your eyelashes.

The only thing I didn't like too much about the mascara is the brush. I just wish that the tip of the brush was just a little bit small to make it easier to coat the lashes in the inner and outer corner or the eyelid.

Other than that I really like this mascara, the formula's really good. 
When I reach for mascara I think I'm gonna start reaching for this one a bit more over the other ones that I have currently been using, and I definitely think that before this tube runs out I will be purchasing a new one.

If you have tried any Rimmel London mascara's or any other brand of mascara, which one is your favorite ?

My Top 8 Fall Nail Colors.

These are my Top 8 polishes that will be on nails at one point or another this Fall.

Starting with a color that I'm currently wearing,


- Avon Nailwear Pro in the color Midnight Plum


 Midnight Plum is a very dark and deep plum color. This color is a couple shades away from black and depending what lighting your in it can look just like that. This is one of my go-to colors when I want to wear a dark polish but not black. It is also one of those colors that looks fine no matter the color of your outfit.

- Sinful Colors in the color Over Easy





Over Easy from Sinful Colors is a dusky rose color and to me it had a nudish feel to it. And because it has a nudish feel to it, this is also one of those polishes that looks good with any outfit. Over Easy is a perfect nail color for Fall if your one who isn't a fan of dark polishes.

- China Glaze in the colors Stella and Drive In



Stella, to me, is a lighter version of Midnight Plum with a lighter purple and pinkish shimmer. It also has a goldish tint to it. The color is more on the darker side, but it's perfect when you want a darker color without wearing black.

 Drive In is a bright ruby red with a shimmery orange and gold tint to it. I love this color and think it's perfect for Fall. Red, to me, is such a Fall shade and then with the orange and gold gives me a summery feel. Because this polish is so bright it's perfect if your not a fan of the dark shades.

- Nicole by OPI in the color Khloe Had A Little Lam-Lam



Khloe Had A Little Lam-Lam is a dark bluish, greenish color. Again it's another color that's dark without being too dark. This is definitely one of my favorite Fall colors and the color that I've been reaching for the most.

- Essie in the colors Jazz, Merino Cool (both of which I previously talked about here), and Licorice.

 
Jazz is a neutral, creamy beige color. This is usually the color I reach for when I, 
1. Want a very natural, close to nude shade on my nails, 
2. I just want to lighten it up,
or
3. I don't know what color I don't want on my nails.


 

Merino Cool is a purplish, grey color. This is another color that I will reach for when I want to lighten up my nails or when I want a purplish color without the darkness of Midnight Plum or Stella and when I want a color darker than Jazz.




Licorice, one of my favorite colors ever, is just your typical black nail polish. When I wear darker polishes I just feel that my nails look clean. So I tend to always reach for this color no matter what season it is.

What are some other nail polishes that are perfect for Fall, or 
perfect for wearing year round?
