Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara Product Review

I have been waiting for one of the trees in our front yard to transition into a beautiful fall tree with crisp orange and red leaves. Well guess what? I missed it, the leaves are now on the ground and an ugly brown. At least it's been a beautiful fall weekend and I took my first morning walk around our neighborhood. Anyway, I have finally found a makeup routine that I am loving right now. Remember when I posted about the BB cream I have been using. I am still using and loving this cream every morning! I wish I could just go around to all the women in my office and tell them to start using it but that would be a little strange.

In addition to the BB cream, I also am loving the Rimmel Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara. I received a complimentary bottle as part of the Influenster Program. At first, the mascara went on very heavy, but I am almost positive it was the method of application. I am used to using a very small brush with a light application. The Retro Glam Mascara has a bigger brush and heavier application to get that Retro effect! After that first attempt, I discovered that this mascara is so easy to apply.

Here are my steps to proper application for the Rimmel Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara.

1. Remove the excess mascara from the wand.
2. Place mascara wand as close to the bottom of your lashes.
3. Slowly move the wand toward the tip of your eyelashes. (Do not make the back and forth motion form side to side.)
4. Apply again to your other eyelashes. 
5. Let dry for a minute or two.
6. Retro!

The Rimmel Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara is now available 

Time for a New Makeup Routine

Recently with all the changes in my life, becoming a homeowner and such, I feel like I need to update my look. To start, I've decluttered my wardrobe of tops that I am just never going to wear again. This is actually an ongoing process each morning as I am getting ready for work and debating my outfit choice. I purchased a couple of pairs of heels from DSW, okay maybe five, but it was during their clearance sale and I saved more than I spent.

Next on my list is makeup. I posted last week about how I started using a BB Cream. Well I wore lipstick TWICE last week! This is big for me since I am a chap-stick kind of girl. This is the lipstick I have been wearing by Mary Kay called Whipped Berries. It's a great color for the fall. It comes in about twenty other shades.

Besides those two sporatic days, I honestly think I have been using the same makeup palette since high school. EEK! I've always wanted to be a little more bold and daring when it comes to makeup, but I appreciate the natural look.

I've been contemplating heading to MAC to have one of their artists help me out with new colors and to teach me a couple more application methods, but I figured I should start by finding looks I like and trying to replicate them myself. Here is the first look I am going to try. I know it's simple, but I can not line my eyelids, so if I accomplish this then I will be extremely proud of myself.
