Clinque High Impact Curling Mascara

So I’m a long-term Clinique fan and very open about it.  Every time they launch a new product, I’m always surprised that they can actually impress me even more.  It’s kind of ridiculous actually.  I tried out the new High Impact Curling Mascara and my mouth literally dropped.  Not only does the wand have a fun shaped brush (it’s crooked) but it really does make a “high impact,” making the name uber appropriate. The verdict?  No smudging, flaking and came off pretty easy with warm water.  Approved.

OBSESSED: OPI “A good man-darin is hard to find”

So I recently tried out some of the amazing shades from OPI’s Hong Kong collection and I am obsessed.  I don’t know why but whenever I wear any kind of coraly/orange shade on my nails, I get tons of compliments!  I’ve been using a few different corals but this one definitely takes the cake and, I especially love the name – “a good MAN-darin is hard to find.”   Adorbale.  The whole collection is absolutely gorgeous but I seriously can’t stop staring at my nails right now so I’ve gotta stop typing.

Check out Temptalia.com for full, amazing swatches of the Hong Kong collection…Christine is brilliant.

Splurge vs. Steal: makeup removing wipes

So I’m really lazy most of the time and I definitely dread taking off my makeup before going to sleep at night.  Ah, to be 16 again when I didn’t even wash my face!  I recently tried out two new versions that I never tried out before – Biore Makeup Removing Towelettes with Green Tea and Rodial Glam Balm Wipes.  Both definitely did the trick and have their own pluses.  The verdict?

Biore bonus points for:

  • Being infused with the purifying power of green tea
  • Towelettes are made from 100% renewable resources
  • Dermatologist tested, hypo-allergenic, non-comedogenic, opthalmologist tested and alochol-free
  • The bargain price of around $7

 

Rodial bonus points for:

  • Being infused with skin-calming chamomile extract Vitamin B and Vitamin E
  • Each towelette is made from super soft cotton and feels like velvet
  • Great for delicate skin
  • Paraben-free
  • They just look…so glamorous
