Mascara is one of those makeup products that can either make or break a look. In my latest mascara adventures I decided to try the new Rimmel Wonder'lash Mascara. Before we get started, a bit about my mascara needs:

Facts about my eyes:

Shape: Almond
Color: Brown
Type: Hooded (and I mean hooooded)
Lashes: Medium length, straight

The Instagram brow - if you don't know what this is, check out what they look like here, or a video all about them here. I'm more of an every day brow kinda girl because 
1. I can't be bothered to draw on brows every day - that's a 10 minute affair
2. Clowns scare me, and well some Instagram brows look like clown brows to me

I've only recently been into brows - really it was only just a few years ago that I had my makeup done, and had my brows filled in. I was shocked that my brows needed to be filled in because my brows were out of control of years! Filling them in was the last of my worries.

About my brows:
Hair Color: Dark Brown/Black
Texture: coarse, and straight as can be, usually pointing down
Thickness: Quite thick, but sparingly at the ends

Yes - it took me a long time to accept it, the fear of snow and cold, cold days kept me in denial. But finding a few beauty items for the fall has helped me embrace the season! Here are a few of my beauty picks for Fall.

I don't know about you, but sometimes mascara can make or break a makeup look. It can add that final touch that pulls a look together, or conversely you can end up with raccoon eyes and a makeup-wipe. Or better yet, you can end up in a public washroom trying to wipe away raccoon eyes with toilet paper and water.

Living such an experience leads me to bring you Mascara week! This week, I'll be posting my thoughts on 4 mascaras - a sneak peak below.  Will I end up with raccoon eyes? Join me this week, on my mascara adventures to find out!
