Mini Rimmel London Haul Makeup

Rimmel Mini Haul!!!

           Get the London LOOK!!! 

Ok so apart for my love of music I have started to fall in love with makeup (again), the varieties of looks you can create - fun ones, for work ones, party ones and so on, the colours just all aspects of it!

I have to admit I wasn't a make up makeup person but I guess as I have finished uni and gotten a little older I have become more interested in it.

At uni I just used to where black eye liner (pencil) and a little bit of lip gloss or lip balm and still do but nowadays its the foundation, eye pencil (or gel pot), a little bit of blush and lip gloss. 

So I invested in some more makeup, yes that is right more!!

I have some makeup that I use on daily basis like my foundation and lip stuff (video on my Youtube channel shall be up soon on that), all my old stuff is in the process of being chucked.

I was looking for some new eye shadows, mascara and eye liner pencil.

Looked at majority of the brands available here in Dubai - Rimmel, L'Oreal, Maybelline and some other brands and with the help of my mum and aunty (who better to get make up help from :-) ), we managed to narrow it down to Rimmel London!

I bought two 5 Glam' eyes HD eye shadow palettes; 41DHS each and a mascara and eye liner pencil set 53DHS (offer). The scandal eyes waterproof kohl kajal eye liner came in three colours; dark blue, black and light blue with a black mascara as a box set. I choose black as that is what I was looking for and if I continue to like it then may get the other colours separately (most likely will, want them all in every colour possible hehe).

Eye shadows in No. 22 Brixton Brown and No. 26 Greenwich. 

I really like the richness in colour of the eye pencil as I like to wear the most blackest black possible, the darker and richer in colour the better.

The second point I look out for is the application, is it easy and smooth to apply on my hand when I am testing it out? If yes then that box is ticked!

So I mainly chose these products because of their colour and application.

I did swatch the eye shadows and so far really like the colours so am planning to buy the rest in this collection, I think there is 4-6 in total?!?! Not sure checked the website out and there seems to be quite a few for me to add to my collection

The ones I got are below:

The first shadow matches the location of the first eye shadow in the image above and same with the second eye shadow.

The eye liner & mascara's curved brush which should reach the inner corners of your eyes. ( The tip of the mascara brush has a bit of excess mascara that I didn't manage to wipe off :S )

Up close the eye liner :

A little bonus gift that I got when I purchased the Mascara + eye kohl kajal set :-

A cute little Rimmel London inspired make up bag and a small red bus bag.

So all I am really looking forward to trying these out!

I shall give u guys an update when I do in the next few weeks. :-)

Ear piercing

Unfortunately, I have been unwell just been getting headaches so I think not sleeping well and stress and stuff.

But anyho thought I'd post on my ear piercing I got in October last year, have been wanting it for a while, from the age of 16, but finally got it done with my sis, we both got it done on the outer cartilage of the ear.

The pic above is of my right ear when I had just got it done (sis got it done on left slightly lower than mine).

I'm really happy with it, want to get another one that is a bit above the first one so it would be a double helix. But wanted to make sure I was happy with this first and to see if I still wanted it in a few months time (50/50 about it).

The process/steps:

I went to a place called Hammersmith Tattoo (http://www.hammersmithtattoo.co.uk/) in London.
I did my research first of which places do piercings, cleanliness and how much etc. We didn't need to book an appointment and luckily no one was there before us so we didnt't have to wait.

The ear piercer guy gave us an information sheet about the precautions, terms and stuff which we had to sign kinda like an agreement and paid (£30 each).

Then we went into a smaller room where the piercer put on gloves and took out sterilised disinfectant wipes (sealed packet), sealed needle and sealed sterilzed earring of our choice, my sis and I both chose a stud. 

I went first!

He wore some disposable gloves and first disinfected my ear then took some ink on a toothpick or thin blunt needle like tool and marked the place where I wanted the stud.

I checked in the mirror and was pretty happy, he changed his gloves and then took the needle (I was sitting down) and pierced my ear telling me to breath the whole time. 

It didn't really hurt, there was a popping sound as the needle went in but that was it. 

The needle was changed to the stud slowly and carefully and tightened (the ball is the stopper, that is in the front of the ear).

The same process was done on my sis, she felt more pain and actually swore lol.

Then the piercer just told us the cleaning instructions, to avoid sleeping on that side and to be careful with clothing etc (use saline solution, soak the towel paper something that isn't fibrous and apply to the piercing for 5 mins for a few weeks) and after 2 months we can change the stud.

It hurt for a few days after but not much.

 I still haven't changed the stud as I got an infection in Nov/Dec 2013 (got hair stuck and pulled forgot I had got it pierced).

I had some antibiotics for 2 weeks, used an antiseptic cream and washed it with saline solution even after the infection had gone for a few days. 

Thankfully it healed up nicely!

I bought a few studs to change the earring after 2 months when I was in London, just some simple studs from Claire's Accessories.


And that is pretty much it, I made sure I wanted it done so if you want a cartilage piercing really think about it, especially if you think you may not want to keep it in the future.

I hope this little post helps.

If there are any questions and comments please let me know!

Thanks and see you guys soon.
