February Task: Blogger's Office & Organization

February's Beauty Blogger Task  is all about blogger organization and office space.

• Where do you blog? I typically blog in my bedroom. I will sometimes sit at my desk. I usually  sit on my bed. I would love to be organized in how I blog eventually when I get my own place, to maybe even have an office/room dedicated to blogging and videos would be amazing! But for now, I have to deal with the space I have been given.
• What do you blog on? I blog on my laptop, which is a MacBook Pro 13". I also use it to edit and upload my YouTube videos.
• Do you have any blogging rituals? I like to have snacks with me if I am working on a long post, otherwise I tend to listen to music in the background.
• How do you keep your blogging ideas organized? I used to keep a journal with blog/video ideas but now if a topic comes to mind, I will just sit down and start blogging.
• Do you have a blogging schedule for the week? Or the month? I don't have a schedule at this point. I blog when I want to and I post as many or as few times as I want to. There may be time periods where I blog three or four times a week and times where I only blog once a week, if that.
• If you review products, how do you keep track of what needs to be reviewed in your collection? 
• What do you do with all your "old" data? For now, everything is stored on my laptop. I would like to invest in an external hard drive because storing all these photos and raw video footage takes up a LOT of space on your computer. I will occasionally deleted old photos and videos but I would like to be able to keep everything in case my blog gets accidentally deleted.
• For fun, what beauty/non-beauty products do you need to have on hand near your blogging station? Honestly, like I said in a different questions, I keep snacks or drinks nearby.

Review: Rimmel Waterproof Sexy Curves Mascara

Last week I took a small road-trip to Northern Vermont for a job interview and stopped in a local drugstore to pick u some snacks for my night at the hotel. I was browsing the makeup section and found this mascara on sale for $3.44 dollars.

First off, I love the packaging, it is very slim and the color is just gorgeous!

This is the part of the mascara I don't like - the wand! As you can see above, the wand has a very odd shape that makes this mascara very difficult to work with!

Here are the before and after pictures:

After applying mascara

As you can see there isn't a huge difference in the appearance of my lashes. My lashes do appear to be slightly longer but they don't have any added volume. The only way I found I could work with this mascara was by moving the wand in a back-and-forth motion up and down my lashes. The "normal" way I apply mascara didn't work. I also don't like how this mascara can be clumpy if you dont comb out your lashes right after applying the mascara.

Final Thoughts: It isn't the greatest mascara in the world and I have tried other drugstore mascaras that have given me better results.

I want to know if you have tried this mascara and had any better luck than I had?
