Rimmel scandal eyes mascara

I originally got it because a friend of mine kept telling me how pleased she was with it and told me that I would really like the rimmel scandal eyes mascara so I was sold and bought myself one, I wasn't overly thrilled by the big bright chunky packaging and thought it looked a bit childish like it was a big colouring pen or something but I tried it anyway expecting great things but I was very much disappointed, the applicator seemed too big and every time I tried to put it on I would end up getting black marks near my eyes from the wand, the formula seemed very thick and made my eye lashes clump together and weigh down a lot and overall I was disappointed with it but recently another friend was telling me how great it was so I dug mine out from the back of a draw and tried it again, the formula still seems overly thick and clumpy but if I spend a bit of time removing the excess off the applicator it works quite well and makes my lashes really thick with little black under my eyes thought the day, lots of other people seem to really enjoy this mascara so I'm not sure if it was just the one that I picked up that wasn't right I'm not sure but it does seem like quite a good mascara, I wouldn't purchase it again though.

Soap and glory 'glow better' self tan

So I'm really pale and I never seem to tan so in the summer I do like to put a bit of self tan on to add a bit of colour back to my skin, I have tried so many different types of self tanning lotions and I came across soap and glory's sun powder spray so I decided to give it a go because it sounded a bit different, once I sprayed it I thought it would end up far too dark from the colour that came out but once it's rubbed in using hands (or if you don't want it on your hands you can use a mitt but it washes off anyway) it blended in really nicely and didn't look too dark on me which many do and because it blends so well it suits a really big range of skin tones, I've had mine for a good few months now and it doesn't seem to be anywhere near finishing since I only use a small amount and a little bit can go quite a way with this. So if you're like me and can't find a good self tan anywhere or if you aren't very good at putting it on I'd definitely recommend this!
