July 2014 Favorites

The few things I have been loving this month.

FOTD:Wet N Wild Comfort Zone

Just using my Fave color of the palette (which is the definer on the green side) I created this simple smokey eye. It is this red brown color with this green duo chromem, absolutly gorgeous! The really cool thing about this eyeshadow it can transform into 2 diferrent colors. To get the vibrant duo chrome effect pack on the color with an eyeshadow brush. To get the brown color blend out the eyeshadow with a fluffy blending brush, it will still give you a subtle green shimmer.

Loreal Paris Hairspray Experience

I got this hairspray at Target. I have used it for about a month now and really like it. It left my hair soft and flowy. You can run your fingers through your hair. In a hairspray thats pretty amazing. The best part no matter how much you spray it will not crisp. It kept my hair curly all day. Im very impressed, all in all GREAT hairspray.

Target Haul

The other day I had went to yet another place to register for my baby shower. I think its best to give my friends options ya know. Not all of them live near a babies r us and where I live Target has the best baby stuff. So when I was done registering I realized I had use the last of all my hairspray that day so I went to go buy some. Then just went kinda crazy at the cosmetics aisle. All of these products I have NEVER tried. So I will give each a quick review and swatches once I have tried them. Have you tried any of these products? What did you think of them?

Battle of Mascara's

Im not much for mascaras, I used to just wear them for special occasions. I hate that they clunk and how careful you have to be while putting them on. One blink and you have black liquid all over your lid. But I do think they make your lashes stick out and really bring a dramatic effect to your make-up look. The first mascara that I have ever owned was the CoverGirl Lash Blast.


Everybody raved about it so I tried it. And I was not happy with it. First of all the brush is rubber with rubber bristles. It is also really big. The formula is ok, it doesnt do an incredible job of curling my lashes but it does go on smoothly. I think its ridiculously hard to put it on my lower lashes. I also dont like that the cap is big as well, makes getting into my inner lashes hard. I dont know how many times I have slipped up. I give it a C-.


So after a while of using it I knew it was time for a new mascara. So I chose to try LOREAL Voluminous Original mascara in the color black brown.

So far the product is ok. It does give some volume to my lashes. I like the bristles, its just a regular brush nothing special. The few things I dont like about it is the extra formula that comes out of the brush everytime you take out. Im always scraping the formula off at the top. And I have noticed that it clumps. So I rate this product a B. For it does give me volume and is ok with separation.



Now Im not sure if I will ever repurchase this items again. But until I finish them Im using them both together I find it really makes the perfect combo. I put on LOreal first, for the volume and the Covergirl for separating them and taking out the clumps. Both together I give it a A-. Makes my lashes look like falsies!
