THE SYEDA SISTERS: Mascara

Rimmel's Eid Look Gift Box! ( REVIEW: Exaggerate Eyeliner & Provocalips)

12/13/2017

Assalamalaikum to everyone and a very big SORRY for being super MIA (will do a post about why we've been so away from the blog in a few days!) But for now I need to tell you lovely people about these two wonderful products which have become my favorite since I received them!!!

Over the Summer , we received a bunch of goodies from Rimmel!

Lets start with the packaging which is just super cute, compact and therefore travel friendly.
As for the working its a s wand stick eye liner which we have to start using as soon as we open the packaging. Swipe it on your upper waterline or just above your eye lashes for a precise line as it's quite a thin wand. It is also long lasting as it is waterproof.

You are about to see the reason why I love this product below, the wand!

The Tip! *heart emoticon*

Now, I'm going to talk about my GO-TO liquid lipstick these days because of the beautiful color and how super long lasting it is!

Glides on super smoothly, dries up very soon and with the sealer it stays put literally for the whole day , I used the same lipstick all three days of Eid and with all the chit chatting and eating during the house hopping , it didn't budge , I had to use wipes to remove it when I came back home!

I keep forgetting to take pictures when I use this , therefore I thought why not show you all the true colors of this product by showing it right out of the packaging.

The second awesome part about this product.. the sealer , it was completely white when I got it but one of the days in a rush before waiting for the lipstick to dry I applied the sealer and oh well it got a little tainted but works perfectly fine!

Now, for the third product that was in this lovely Eid Box which we had already reviewed earlier and I was actually running short of it so I'm glad I received another one! all about this awesomeness here on this link - http://thesyedasisters.blogspot.com/2017/01/scandaleyes-mascara-by-rimmel.html

Since, I need to show you all here why I love it so much this brush wand helps give a much darker extended eyelash tried, tested and approved!

Love, love, love!

Till the next post that will be very soon as we have tons to update you all about! Thank you Team Rimmel for sending these over to us!

Lots of Love,

Review: Rimmel ScandalEyes Mascara!

1/14/2017

I'm super excited about this one , we got this top secret package a few weeks ago and I'm hooked on to it and has to share it with you all so read on!

TOP SECRET: London’s most scandalous mascara is back with a breakthrough! Rimmel London reveals new Scandal’Eyes Reloaded Mascara for dangerously bold, lethally full lashes. Every lash and every corner is quickly loaded with extreme, clump-free volume and wear for unstoppable, up to 24-hour impact… that disappears without a trace. Your super-sized killer lashes now have supreme staying power. Scandal’Eyes Reloaded Mascara delivers sweat-proof, smudge-proof, humidity-proof, up to 24-hour wear that can handle every aspect of your non-stop life, from the gym to clubbing. And yet it’s ultra-easy to cleanly remove with just warm water.*

Packaging:
Is super compact and bright fun orange as you can see it's design is very modern and it's really travel friendly I've rushed to events with it and even applied it without a mirror and got the same long lasting results every time!

New Tapered Brush Rimmel’s max-density brush has been redesigned with a new tapered tip to perfectly fit the shape of your eyes. Capturing the full lash fringe, it loads volume from every angle and from corner to corner.*

Bye bye panda eyes. New Extreme Wear Formula for a scandalous dose of Volume Long-lasting lash drama comes courtesy of the new, Formula with First to Market Patented Technology Extreme Wear formula. The new innovative formula gives lashes up to 11 times more volume for a clump-free killer lash look. The unique synergy of waxes and polymers creates an intense, leather-black volumising film that rapidly adheres to lashes, building scandalous volume more quickly and without clumps. Lashes look divinely dark and insanely big. What’s more the formula understands your busy lifestyle by providing extreme wear that lasts up to 24 Hours.

Thanks to a wax grafted polymer complex, your scandalously volumised lashes last all day as formula does not flake or smudge and is humidity and sweat proof. In addition to a lash-plumping formula with collagen and keratin, this mascara contains wax modified polymer for a deep black lacquer effect.*

The Best Part: (Claimed rightly!)
Despite all this the formula is still super easy to remove as it features special flexible polymers that prolong perfect wear whilst still easily ‘breaking’ into particles for mess-free removal. It can even be removed with warm water too! Swatches below, only to prove the awesomeness of this mascara.

In this one look at the right eye's lash length!

Review:
When there are so many claims being made products usually don't live up to the hype but not in this case! I've tried it on for the whole day I can safely say I had no issues with it it was definitely sweat proof, didn't smudge one bit dried almost instantaneously and lasted (stayed on) with the same effects the whole day and by the end of the day I had no issues removing it took me 2 minutes!Now the 11 times more volume part I can't say for sure but it definitely gave me more length and volume than my bare lashes. So, if you'd like a super affordable , easy to use and quick effective mascara then this is for you!

Price: 49 AED / BHD 4.900

Availability: Lifestyle, Max, Boots, Carrefour

I totally recommend everyone to try it and you're welcome! Let us know if you have any questions about it or if you've used it and what you thought about it , we'd love to know!

Review: Liquid Define Liner & & Mascara by Eye of Horus!

10/12/2016

Okay girls, in today's post which we should have done way long ago because we bragged about it on all of our social media , well finally penning down a proper blog post all about the details you'll need to know about it.We'll be talking about two of their awesome products- Eyeliner & Mascara,

Packaging?
First off the packaging which is sturdy and black , love the contrast with the golden makes it so much more appealing don't you think? So the box contains all the ingredient details as well as the instructions about how to use the product.

The mascara weighs 8 grams with the box and the eye liner just 2 grams!

Review: As you'll see when you scroll below the eye liner- namely Liquid Define as it's rightly called comes in a sturdy and travel friendly packaging easy to close the lid and feels and even looks just like a marker pen. It most definitely is waterproof and does not budge you can squiggle your eyes all you want and cry too without worrying about your eyeliner smudging or budging!

Another awesome point to mention is that they were the first of mostly all of the brands to produce a felt tip liner , we think all the other brands jumped the bandwagon way later because we got this beginning of last year.

I've used it a lot thus the slight bend, rest assured it comes with a perfectly pointed tip. It has a great tip that allows has a good controlled flow and easy application.

Review: As for the mascara, it's true to all the claims about it , it's a celebrity used best seller and it has reason to be! As you'll see in the swatches below it gave me a perfect tint of black as well as volume and curls what more do I need from an awesome mascara it's waterproof too, dries in minutes so you don't have to worry about slowing down the fluttering of your lashes. Did not cause any sort of irritation to my eyes.

So Pretty!

Swatches:

Loved the color pay off it's dark and just the way I wanted it to be , the eye images sadly don't do justice.

Price & Availability:

The Liquid Define Eye Liner is priced at $30 and available online with worldwide shipping on this link: http://www.eyeofhoruscosmetics.com/collections/eyeliner/products/liquid-define-eye-liner

The Goddess Mascara is priced at $34.95 and is available at http://www.eyeofhoruscosmetics.com/collections/mascara/products/mascara-black-goddess

Review: Rimmel Wonder’full Volume Colourist Mascara

8/07/2016

Hey guys! How are you all doing? So we got this really AMAZING MASCARA for Team Rimmel London Arabia a while back and finally got the pictures and review ready for you guys to check out!

We got "Rimmel Wonder’full Volume Colourist Mascara" (wooah, that's a pretty long name!) which claims to overtime tint lashes and add volume, so that your eye lashes looker fuller and darker even without mascara, now this is a revolution in the mascara industry I must say!

What they say about it?

Rimmel Wonder'full Volume Colourist Mascara comes with a Lash-Tint Complex - for Over Time Lash Tinting and Instant Volume. Rimmel’s revolutionary new mascara reveals more lashes… even when you’re NOT wearing it! New Volume Colourist Mascara is Rimmel’s first-ever mascara that, gradually over time, makes bare lashes darker and in an instant, the volumising formula loads lashes with jet-black impact. Open your eyes to darker, sexier, more noticeable lashes!

It's semi-permanent lash-tint complex progressively blackens bare lashes every time you wear it so that, from 2 weeks onwards of regular usage, your naked lashes look DARKER FROM ROOT TO TIP! Unique combination of creamy, ultra-black lash volumizing formula and Last-Tint Complex with natural colorant, gives 24/7 impact. The more you use, the more natural tinting colourants are delivered to the surface of your lashes. BUT the non-permanent tint will wear off gradually after the last usage.

Packaging:

Comes in tapered brush with a average wand length. It is presented in an edgy twisted pack with a graduated color .The Black variant has a lacquered gun-metal pink cap that fades into a black bottle decorated with pink hot foil lettering.

Review:

Okay so i really haven't tried this mascara as much as I should to test its eye lash tinting ability, but since they say it's a non-permanent tinting mascara I doubt if I will be able to notice much If I do and Alhamdulillah I have dark enough lashes so I won't notice the difference will tell mum to try it and notice her. Other than that I've used it casually when going out and it does its job as you can see it darkens the eyelashes as well as give them length I won't call it curling because for me it just lengthened and dark ended them. Loved it! Rating it 4/5 for doing what mascara is supposed to and just knowing that it has lash tinting complex that just adds more points to it!

Like your lashes intensely inky? Volume Colourist Mascara comes in 1 powerful shade: Black.

Price & Availability:
It is priced at AED 51 and it's available in outlets of Lifestyle, Max, Boots, Carrefour in the Middle East.

Essence: Winter Collection Reviews!

1/22/2016

Asalamualaikum ladies!

A few weeks ago when I was leaving for my final theory paper, I received a surprise package from Essence Cosmetics Pakistan with 3 of their newly released products (woot woot). Sadly I had to leave immediately for the exam and so I got the time today to review their amazing stuff!

We've been in love with Essence Cosmetics after discovering them recently. Top Quality and yet so Affordable surprised us! So we're so excited to review their new products:

Essence Liquid Lipstick: (Shade: 04 Showoff)

What it claims to do:

"2 in 1. The innovative formula of the liquid lipstick unites the best of two lip pros by combining the coverage of a lipstick with the shine of a gloss. the packaging also underlines its duo-characteristics: the cool packaging of the lipgloss with a practical applicator has the appearance of a lipstick. absolutely awesome!"

Review:

Ok, so I almost mistook it for a lipstick because of its packaging, don't get me wrong, I actually loved the idea of a liquid lipstick that's been given a shape of actual lipstick. The only difference is it with lipgloss wand. I literally went "ooooohh" while playing with it because I was just so fascinated by its packaging, Super cute!

Packaging

I love the shade . It wasn't too bright and gave a glossy touch unlike other liquid lipstick that give a matte touch, but i liked that about it! The big question how long did it stay on for? I'd say if your eating out this can stay on for a good 4 hours and otherwise it can stay on for longer. The amount of material in this type of packaging is just right. I don't know how many of you would agree but I believe any makeup product should have just enough material, nobody likes applying makeup they bought a year ago, you know what I mean?

Swatches.

Rating: There's nothing I didn't like about Essence liquid lipstick so I give it 5 out of 5 Stars.

Essence Sheer and Shine lipstick: (Shade 01 "My First Love)

What it does:

"the super soft formula of the sheer & shine lipsticks feels pleasantly light on your lips and provides them with gorgeous, subtle colour with a fantastic shine in the wanna-have shades nude, brown and pink. the translucent cap is the same colour as the lipstick inside so it’s easy to reach for your favorite shade. sheer, shine and oh so stylish."

Packaging!

Review:

I love love love this nude shade. I've never actually used such a natural nude shade before so I was very curious to know how it'd look on me. Little did I know, I had to rub it on my lips a good 4 to 5 times so I could notice it on my lips. It's such a good nude to be honest you can see in the swatches how I marked the area on my wrist where I swatched it cuz my camera couldn't focus it. It matched my skin Color! Literally!

Swatched

How long did it stay on? Honestly I can't tell that! I mean I could hardly notice it on my lips when I applied it. But my lips did taste like I still had it on after like an hour or so, and my family members kept asking me why my lips look like that.

Anywho! It's so creamy and light and I love the 'e' embossed on the lipstick. I do feel that there could be a better packaging for the container. I will however use this product because if you know me personally you'd know I'm NOT really a "dark/bright attention catching lip colour" type of a person (Omaimah here, btw)! So if this lip stick makes my lips almost unnoticeable with a hint of shine, I'm keeping it!

Rating: I'll give it 3 out of 5 stars!

Essence "I like long lashes" Volume and Length Mascara:

What it does:

"long lashes! this mascara delivers what every girl wants: long, defined lashes without clumping. the I like long lashes! volume & length mascara contains lengthening synthetic fibers that cover the lashes to make them look longer. the small elastomer brush with a wow-effect ensures perfect definition for a breathtaking look – also suitable for use on your lower lashes."

Review:

Ok , I was very excited to review this one! I'm a mascara lover, the only makeup product I love applying is a mascara, so hassle free and you can never over do it and look horrible (hehe, I'm a low maintenance girl, can't help it). The wand was pretty long I think. The bristles are overall short and the same size circumferential unlike the common trend, but it worked just fine with me.

As you can see In the images, I noticed that it did add volume and darken my lashes but I'm not sure about the length part!

It clumped my lashes a little like expected from every mascara so that's no biggie and it didn't really curl my lashes to give length.

Rating: Overall, I'm giving it a 4 out of 5 stars.

Big shout out to Anam (Essence Pakistan) for sending over this surprise package, it really made my day!

Hope you girls liked the review, please let us know if you have any questions about any of the above products we'd be more than happy to tell you! :) As for now, we're currently verifying the entries of our Mega Giveaway right now hope you'll participated!
Winners will be announced on 3rd January, 2016 so stay tuned to our social media by following us on GFC , Instagram & our Facebook Page!
