30 days comes to an end, but my lashes don't
And so, my thirty day trial period of Rimmel's Lash Accelerator has come to an end.
My eyelashes, on the other hand, just keep going and going (THEY'LL NEVER END)
See for yourself

AFTER:
And here's the product that did it all.

unorganized scatter brain (who happens to be obsessed with a mascara)
Okay- the secret is out- I've gone MIA because I'm massively obsessed with a mascara that Rimmel sent me - Lash Accelerator. That's right- it actually makes your lashes grow! So move over Latisse, a reasonably priced product is on the market (I think it's around $24 which is nothing compared to the almost $100 bucks that Latisse costs)!
This mascara actually works (RIDICULOUS). It's super dark and my lashes are on the move (going through a total growth spurt) Granted- it's only been 22 days... but the product only needs 30 days to insanely change your lashes! That's right.... it's absurd.
Another awesome thing- the face of the product - Zooey Deschanel who is pretty much just the cutest darn lady in the whole world... not to mention- awesome sense of style. Check out the ad here:
Well, an ad only says so much, right?
So shall we examine some real evidence?
BEFORE
NOW
Yeah, that's right, ladies and gents, IT WORKS. Are you stunned? Are you sitting with your mouth wide open? Slack-jawed much?
That's what I thought-- TOTAL DISBELIEF (don't worry... you're not alone)
Anyway- our challenge was to wear the mascara for a month. I'm on week three... and I'll be posting a super, creative, funky, fun, exciting, wild, out-there, CUHRAZAY review of the product by October 9th (Probably up maybe October 7th).
Who knows what it's going to be? Video? Creative writing? Song? Review? Magazine ad? Mood board?
Well who knows? NOT YOU! (I barely know myself), but do check back to see!
[I also have tons of photos from fashion week to put up, but applying to college has got me SWAMPED with work... and I'm lazy. More on that later]
P.S. Take our facebook quiz: Which Rimmel 10 Girl Are You? (If you're me- I'll give you a special shout out on here and maybe even a little gift....!)

Lost in the Summer
Hello Hello Hello!
I have been drowning in the ecstasy that is summer! But I'm back and will be blogging from London in 5 days where I will be for two weeks!
Anyway, new Rimmel challenge below - how-to on how to create a look (mine is called Colder Than Fargo)
Also- check out the "Which Rimmel 10 Girl Are You?" app on Facebook - hilarious!
London people: tell me places to go, things to see, things to buy, where to eat, etc. I've got two weeks to roam and have a ball.

it's been a while... challenge three part 1
Hello Hello Hello!
Challenge here.
The mission: find London in New York... well... it's everywhere.
1. So So Glos
The So So Glos are a favorite Brooklyn-based band and good friends of mine. They've also got quite a London thing going on. Listen and judge for yourself!
(watch out for me in the video-- pre-blonde)
2. Urban Jungle Vintage
Urban Jungle is a gem hidden amongst the large warehouses of Bushwick, Brooklyn. It is one of many vintage stores on Knickerbocker Ave, but by far the best. Everything is cheap as hell and the variety ranges from long floral dresses to neon construction pants. The clientele is just as diverse... at any given point, there are people from all walks of life in there.
(SO MANY ROWS- SO MANY JEWELS!)
It's really just the best. And afterwards-- dinner at Roberta's.
3. Loading Dock
Sort of a weird thing to write on, but the Loading Dock is a Mexican restaurant in downtown Brooklyn that is one of the cutest places I've ever been. It's run by a bunch of hipsters and doubles as an art gallery too. Bonus: They make their own tortillas.
It's also just incredibly chill.
And yes, their kitchen is a taco truck pulled up to the building!
5. The Hotel Chelsea
Haunted by ghosts of famous musicians, artists, and writers, The Hotel Chelsea has a vibe that is New York but London. It's dark with glimmers of art (once traded for renting a room). Patti Smith once floated from room to room and I mean, who doesn't love Patti Smith?
How about Bob Dylan? Janis Joplin? Leonard Cohen? Dylan Thomas? Sid Vicious? Robert Mapplethorpe?
Although the hotel doesn't take long-term stays, you can stay up to 24 days!
6. Silent Barn
House and music venue extraordinaire, the Silent Barn sort of pushes the boundaries of Brooklyn. (Technically in Queens)... but whatever. Joe Ahearn cranks out great DIY shows and the legendary Showpaper here!

a little taste for monday
Iris Apfel -- interior designer and fashion superstar -- could brighten anyone's Monday. (She's like an added bonus to the lovely weather we've been having in NYC).
Additionally: I just wanted to share that I will be attending Rimmel London's blogger event on Wednesday and am super excited to meet the bloggers and all the other Rimmel 10 girls who will all be in the big apple!
