Review: Maybelline Colossal Volume Express Mascara

I am always on the outlook for a very good mascara. I did find one that I love but that doesn't stop me from exploring other mascaras that the drugstores has to offer. When it comes to high end brands and drugstore brand, I always prefer drugstore brand mascaras because they are more affordable and that sometimes the high end ones don't always meets my needs. Sorry that I didn't include before and after photos of this mascara, but here is a review for you all. PROS: - It does give my lashes volume and a little bit of length at the same time. - It does not clump for me. To apply a second coat, I apply it before the first coat dries. - The consistency is pretty good to work with, not too wet and not too thick & dry. - The bristles are fine enough to cover most of the lashes - Reasonable price. - Easily accessible at your local drugstore - Comes in waterproof formula as well. 50/50: - It has this odd scent to it that bothers me. Not sure if it's just me but it might not be something that will bother others. CONS: - I just wish the wand would have been more easier for me to use at the corners of my eyes. Well this is my review for this mascara. Keep in mind that just because this mascara works for me it might not work for you. All mascaras works differently for every individual. Have you tried this mascara before? If yes, did you like or dislike it? If no, would you purchase this to try? (All images belongs to me, please do not take or use.

Essie "Play Date"

Essie "Play Date" is from Essie's Go Overboard Collection. This is such a flattering and pretty purple. It is a creme polish and has a nice clean finish to it that is really appealing to the eyes. It isn't too dark or too light and still great to wear for the Spring/Summer. It has a slight pink undertone to it and I love how it looks against my skintone. The application was easy and two coats is enough for it be opaque. I really enjoy this color from this collection. I am glad I picked it up because I love how it looks. It's such a beautiful shade. What's On My Nails: - 1 coat of Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Base Coat - 2 coats of Essie Play Date - 1 coat of INM Out the Door Top Coat What do you think of Essie "Play Date"? Is it a shade you will wear? Do you own this nail polish? Or plan on getting it? (All images belongs to me, please do not take or use. Thank you) Follow, Comment & Rate

Review: Nuance Midnight Blue & Silver Steel Duo Eyeshadow

A long time ago when a new line of cosmetics called Nuance hit the CVS stores I knew I just had to get my hands on some of the products to try. One of the many products I picked up was this duo eyeshadow in Midnight Blue & Silver Steel. I actually promised a review on their eyeshadows a long time ago when I created a look with this eyeshadow duo but I kept forgetting and was being lazy. If you didn't see the look that I created with this, you can do so by Clicking Here. Midnight Blue is a deep navy blue with a lighter shimmery blue in it. Silver Steel is a very pigmented and opaque metallic silver. PROS: - The pigmentation in this duo WOW me. I was shocked at how pigmented it turned out to be. - Little fall outs (I considered it as a pro because it is a drugstore product) - The shadows are blendable and soft. - Can use dry or wet. - Has a nice variety of shades to choose from. - It is part of their permanent line which you can find at your local CVS CONS: - Price. I don't remember the exact price for it but I know it is pretty pricey for only two shadows. I really enjoyed using this duo, the colors came out beautifully and vibrant. My experience with this duo is very good but then another one I have tried was on the "eh" side which I will do a review on as well. What do you think of these two eyeshadows? Have you tried any cosmetics from Nuance yet? (All images belongs to me, please do not take or use. Thank you) Follow, Comment & Rate

Review: Maybelline Master Drama Eyeliner in "Sapphire Strength"

I am always on the outlook for a good pencil eyeliner because I never really found one that works the way I want. The one that I was most pleased with is the Milani Liquif'eye ones but I still like to try something new. When I first saw these new eyeliners being released by Maybelline I decided to pick it up to try. Here will be a review on the Maybelline Master Drama Eyeliner in "Sapphire Strength". The product claims on the packaging that it is a creamy glide bold color that lasts up to 24 hours. PROS: - I do love how the color of the cap matches the shade it is on the inside. - There is a nice variety of shades to choose from and the one I have is a blue with a hint of shimmer. - They do wear well for the 6-8 hours I am outside on a day of normal weather that isn't too hot. - Easily accessible 50/50: - Price, they range about $5-7 depending on your area and local drugstore. - Lacks pigmentation CONS: - Retractable? Not! For some odd reason, once you twist it up it doesn't go back down... - Since it is retractable, it is hard to create thin lines with this eyeliner because it has no sharpener and will be harder to be sharpened. - They do not glide on my eyelids and isn't as creamy as it claims. It tugs on my eyelids and having dry lids these doesn't work too well for me. Overall, I don't think I will purchase these but then they do wear well and if you are looking for something that isn't too expensive and will wear well for a few hours, you can look into these. Have you tried these Maybelline eyeliner? If yes, what are your thoughts on them? If no, do you think it's something you will plan on getting? (All images belongs to me, please do not take or use.

Gift: Clinique All About Eyes

About a week ago, it was my birthday and one of my girls got me this as a birthday gift. I really needed something for my eyes because for some odd reasons, I was getting rashes and dried spots near my eyes which isn't pleasant. Good timing that she got me this because it is just what I need for my eyes currently. On Sephora it says... What it is: A moisturizing eye treatment that helps minimize the look of dark circles, shadows, and puffiness. What it is formulated to do: This brightening eye cream works instantly and over time to diminish the look of undereye circles, shadows, and fine lines. Its botanical ingredients depuff and calm the eye area. It also boosts natural collagen production while strengthening skin's moisture barrier against common irritants. I really hope it will hydrate my eye area the most. Even if it doesn't help me reduce circles and stuff. It retails for almost $50 USD which is on the pricier side but I am thankful my friend got me such a nice gift =) Have you ever tried this product before? If yes, what is your thought on it?
