Good Evening Makeup Mavericks!
Welcome to our first Testing Tuesday and today on the list is Rimmel's ScandalEyes Precision Micro Eyeliner and Oh My Gloss. I was sent these products from Influenster and I must say they pleasantly surprised me. For information regarding my testing and standards please check out this post. Let's get into the breakdown of each product.
Oh My Gloss
A gloss is a staple in everyone's collection. Oh My Gloss! Oil Tint is a bit more than just a gloss, though. While it feels and looks like a traditional lip gloss, it does so much more. This gloss has "four precious oils" which provides your lips with nourishment. They come in six shades that range from baby pink to fuchsia to orange and at this point, it is only available at Wal-Mart for $6Product Details:
- Packed with a harmonious blend of four precious oils, for unprecedented nourishing care and comfort with an ultra-glossy finish
- Ultra-light, non-greasy, non-sticky and non-drying
- Innovative tint-in-oil system fuses pure colour pigments into lips for a refreshing juicy pop of colour

This lip gloss is nice and the pigment is superb. I could see it working for a pop of color in the spring and summer. But expect to reapply because it is a lightweight formula so it won't get sticky or thick on lips. Ultimately this boils down to preferences if you don't care about reapplying every hour or so then you will probably love this gloss.
Pros:
- Moisturizing
- Excellent color pay off
- No feathering
- Not sticky
Cons:
- Frequent reapplication due to thin formula
ScandalEyes Precision Micro Eyeliner

Back in the day (college) I rocked a liquid, winged liner every chance I could. During those times the it-liner was MAC's liquid eyeliner. In recent years I have upgraded to Kat Von D's tattoo liquid eye liner (KVD). KVD's formula is budge proof and not to mention it matches the black of the deepest and darkest crevices in Hell. However, my use of liquid liner is limited these days, whether it is due to maturity (doubtful) or realization that liquid liner and hooded eyes is a tricky combo. My history with liquid liner is a long one and most of the time I have been let down by products promising 24 hours of wear and smudge proof.
Product Details:
- Dense black pigments for color intensity
- Ultra fine tip for artistic looks and creates a flawless fine line
- Waterproof, smudge-proof, tear-proof, sweat-proof, heat-proof, humidity-proof
- Up to 24 hours of wear

This product surpassed my expectations to be perfectly honest. I am super critical of eyeliner for several reasons. First being that I don't think it is too much to ask for a brand to create a permanent marker type product (haha) that last throughout the day and still comes off (I know I am not asking for much right?). Another reason I am critical of eyeliners, in general, is because the corner of my eye could be caked in liner and if I don't set it or touch it up later in the day, my watery and oily eyes will break down the product.
While testing this product I also tested it on my hand against both MAC and KVD liquid liners. It held up better than MAC and was the same consistency after 8 hours as KVD. KVD's black liner was the darker of the two. In a controlled environment, ScandalEyes eyeliner performed beautifully and my only complaint is that the black is not a true black. When I went out for cocktails while it was raining, I did experience some transfer to the bottom inner corner of my eyes.
With all that being said here are the pros and cons:

With all that being said here are the pros and cons:
Pros:
- 8 hours of wear without touch ups or breakdown from sweat, water, or oils
- Extremely user-friendly, my roommate (who is not a makeup enthusiast) was able to line her eye easily
- No feathering or fading
Cons:
- The black is not a true black, it looks like more of a charcoal color when compared to MAC and KVD liquid eyeliner
- Minor transfer on the inner corners on my eyes
If you have tried these products and had similar or different experiences, I would love to hear about them.
