Product Review: Wet N Wild Mega Plump Mascara

Plump up the volume! Get 5 times the volume with this mascara that amplifies 

and plumps for plush, dramatic lashes. This volumizing formula delivers thicker lashes

in an instant. The voluminous brush wraps around the entire lash line for full
impact without the clumping.

*This Review is for the Waterproof formula only.*

Packaging
I remember the old packaging of all of the wet n wild mascaras, and this one
was my least favorite, it was very weird to hold. Within recent years they

have changed the look of a lot of their makeup, and not only that but they
stepped up as far as the quality of the products.
I love this new packaging, it's much more sleek and easy to handle.

Product

 I'm going to start off with the wand, its a plastic wand,
I have no preference when it comes to wands, this one is a larger,
perfect for creating more voluminous lashes.
The formula of this mascara is a little bit dry.
There is a little bit of clumping but it's not a lot.
Does it give me 5x the volume ? No
It does give me noticeably more voluminous lashes
but I do not agree with the claim of 5x the volume.
The packaging claims 5x the volume, and the website claims 3x
the volume, which I completely agree with.

Quality control issue
I have purchased this mascara numerous times, on one occasion I bought
it and there wasn't enough product in the tube. I have only
experienced this once since I've started buying this mascara,
and it hasn't happened since.


Waterproof
As far as it's waterproof qualities, it gets the job done,
I like to layer my mascara and I always end with this one.
It's safe to say that there is a good chance that I'll cry whenever
we go to Disneyland, and every time I have my lashes still look good.

Would I recommend this product ?
Yes. It's a great waterproof mascara that gives
you noticeably fuller lashes.

Here are some pics of my lashes before/after using this mascara

If you have this mascara let me know in the comments how
it's worked out for you...

Product Review: Wet N Wild Mega Length Mascara

This award winning mascara delivers up to 80% longer looking lashes. One sweep of this
amazing lengthening formula creates lavishly long lashes with perfect definition. A special
blend of waxes provides maximum length with amazing staying power. The          specially-
designed brush visibly lift each and every lash for lash-by-lash separation.This is a review
of the non-waterproof mascara.

  

Available in: Very Black

 And Waterproof

 Cruelty-free
.27 fl oz.
Packaging:
the older packaging was a dark blue tube with silver writing that would
come off easily. I would put tape on it so the lettering wouldn't come off
 I love the color, and it makes it stand out a bit more than
the previous packaging did. And the lettering hasn't fade away.

Product:
I love the thin wand, it's easy for me to get the outer lashes and give them
that wispy look, and perfect to get into the bottom lashes.
I know there are some that don't like plastic wands, but I personally don't mind
them.I feel each different wand type will give your lashes a different look.
And to me this one separates your lashes.
Has a more wet formula like the Mega Protein Mascara, but I don't
mind, I usually layer my mascaras, so while this is drying I apply the last
mascara.
It doesn't clump, or flake, and gives my lashes a natural but lengthened look.
Now as far as giving my lashes any volume, it does but it's not a lot
and it takes some work to get it.
As far as the lasting power it does last a good amount of time, I've have worn this alone
for a seven hour shift at work and it still looked good and the end of my shift.

If you have used this mascara let me know down below in the comments what you think of it..

Nail art designs: Nude & Black

for this nail art I used to colors,
Wet N Wild's private viewing
&
Jordanna's black & Nail Art pop nail polish.

I started by applying my basecoat,
I love jordanna's garlic growth basecoat.

I applied wet n wild's megalast nail color in
Private Viewing. It's my favorite nude color
there is a slight shimmer to it, I noticed the shimmer
after I first tried it and fell in love.

I used ice water to dry them. 

I started using jordanna's black nail polish
and mixed it with their Pop art nail polish.

For the polka dots, I used two different sized dotting tools.
I started with bigger dots at the tip and left some open space
to apply the smaller size dots.

I decided to do the same design on my right hand, and it came out
good, I have to practice on two things, the first is just drawing designs
on my right hand and the second is drawing a good straight line
with my left hand.

Practice means more nail designs which is always fun.

I once again used ice water to dry my nails.
I noticed less streaking with my nail art
after using ice water to dry my nails.

my left hand 

 

my right hand

I'm very happy with the way they came out,

I've gotten some compliments on them too..

Do you have a favorite nude nail polish, if so leave me a comment

below, I'm always on the lookout for more nude nail polishes..

thanks for reading...

adds shine.

Jojoba and Coconut Extracts help nourish brittle hair and condition
dry scalp restoring moisture.

Panthenol or Provitamin B5 penetrates and seals hair surface to protect
it from styling damage.

$9.99

8.5 fl.oz
100% Vegan
Wheat, Glutten and Silicone Free.

Scent:
*I personally love the scent of this, I'm a sucker for anything Pineapple or Coconut scented.
*It is a bit strong at first, and the scent does fade but it's a muted scent, and it does linger for a
  bit, and it does fade away.
*If you are sensitive to smells I would smell this first.

Product:I'm dividing this in two parts since its a hair defrizzer and heat protector.
Heat Protector:*As a heat protector it works great, I saw less split ends, I wasn't curling/straightening my hair
  as often and I wasn't using a blow dryer at all.
*It doubles as a natural leave in hair conditioner with its natural coconut, jojoba oils.
*as far as heat protectant, I feel it does work, it does help protect against split ends,
  but I don't believe it can repair them, I've always believed that there is no repairing them.
 *When used consistently your hair's natural shine does come through.
Defrizzer:
*As a defrizzer I do feel it works, if you are looking for something to completely get rid of
  frizzy hair then and there this isn't it.
*If you use this product over time, and consistently,now I'm not saying straighten your hair
  everyday but even just using it as a leave-in conditioner after you get out of the shower.
*My hair can be pretty unruly, and using this along with other products has helped.
*Using this alone will help you but when its used in combination of other products to help
   tame the unruly frizzies, I believe it does help.

On days that I don't use any heat on my hair I spray this after I get out of the shower and let my
hair air dry, once in a while I'll give myself a blow out, I'm trying not to use my curling iron as much.
this gives my hair a shine, which is what really drew me to this product, well that and it's cruelty free. 

 

Product Review: Wet N Wild Mega Impact Mascara

Make an impact. This revolutionary mascara formula provides extreme volume and length

with a silicon complex that provides elasticity and flexibility. Proven to enhance the natural

lash up to 8x, this all-in-one formula is enriched with Kernel Oil to permeate and condition

each lash to promote healthy, strong hairs while adding color and shine.

 

I love the design on the top portion of the tube..

Available in: Very Black
Cruelty Free

Packaging: *Bright orange tube, and this color to me just screams 80s.
*One I have one cons with this product and the first being the lettering on
this does come off after a while so I put some tape on the lettering to keep
it from coming off.
*It reminds me of the covergirl lashblast at least I think that's what it's called

Product:
*This mascara is a drier formula but it's not too dry. and it does dry quickly.
*On it's own I do see difference in my lashes, they do look volumized,
  I'll have to try two coats and post pics of both, and with layering
*Now layering this mascara with other mascaras and it works
  really well, I use the wet n wild mega protein mascara first since
  the formula of that one is more wet. Followed by the mega impact
  mascara and ending it with the mega length mascara.
*As far as clumping I haven't experienced any but clumping happens
 when you re-apply mascara to already dried mascara.
*there is no weird or unpleasant smell.
*The brush is a big size but it's not too big and there is a slight layering
  in the brush. 

Final thoughts:
I love this product, honestly the reason I picked this up was purely because
of the color, if I see something that just screams 80s and I Need this in my
life!!! wooot wooot for all the babies born in the 80s..
Thanks so much for reading...Til Next Time lovelies..

A shot that is oh so smooth.
For a shower erupting with skin-softening Polynesian pleasure, look for this exfoliating
cocktail. Tiny natural loofah scrubbles, fruit extracts and sugar can extract, our secret
rum loving ingredient, scrub, smooth and soften to reveal your skin's hidden beauty.
To escape the everyday, let this cocktail wash away your cares. The only thing missing
is a mini umbrella. Okole Maluna.

This body wash is part of their Hawaiian Body care collection, there
are two others in the collection, Creamy Pina Colada and Revitalizing
Mai Tai. All of which have yummy names in my book.

Scent:
* Scent has always been a deal breaker for me, if it smells good I'm buying it.
   And this smells so good.
*I can pick up different fruit scents such as mango, strawberry and pineapple,
   there is also papaya in this as well.
*The scent is strong but as you begin to use it the smells lessens.
*If you are sensitive to scents smell this in store before purchasing.
*I love using this in the morning, the smell helps me wake up..
*The scent does linger for a bit, but fades away.
*If you have perfumes with any of the above mentioned fruits
  this would definitely help with layering your scent and helping
  the scent of your perfume last longer.
 

Product:
*Not only does it smell yummy, it works really well.
*It's a happy medium between a thick and thin consistency.
*The scrub isn't harsh like some others are, it's a softer scrub
   that definitely gets the job done.

*It leaves my skin smooth, and smelling great.
*A little of this goes a long way, I've had this since February of
  this year and I still have a lot left.

I bought this to replace my non cruelty-free body wash, and I
was happily surprised, with the holidays coming around I know
I will be taking advantage of any sales they might have to stock up...

Packaging:
White tube, flip lid.
 

Product:OH MY CHEESECAKES!!! where do I begin, ok so I spotted this at
walmart on clearance for 7.99 and I still had not found a good cruelty free
replacement for my St. Ives Apricot Scrub, so I knew that Alba Botanica was
leaping Bunny approved so I bought it.

Scent:
Smelling products for me is a must so I smelled this in store and the
first thing I thought of was henna tattoo( henna paste) and orange and
sandalwood, so after reading the ingredients on the website there is
orange peel oil, and bergamot, the latter being one of my favorite notes
in perfumes. I absolutely love the way this smells, and if you are sensitive
to smells, I would definitely smell this before purchasing.

*The product has a thinner consistency then the St. Ives scrub,
   this scrub serves a dual purpose for those bacne and facial acne as well.
*My main problem is the occasional pimples from stress, bad eating habits
  or mother nature paying me a visit lol.
*So the first time using this was the day of purchase didn't use it the second day,
  so the third day I noticed the pimple was smaller so I rubbed the scrub into
  the pimple a bit more, and the fifth day the pimple was just about gone which
  was awesome.
*It does tingle which is the peppermint oil working, I like to put this on after
  I apply my conditioner, and leave it on no longer than 10 minutes,( if you have
  sensitive skin no longer than 5) I like to leave it on a bit longer so the product has
  time to get in there and do what it's got to do lol.
*I use this 3 times a week and I use it daily whenever I get a pimple and it gets
  rid of pimples with in 3-4 days.
*I moisturize more when I use it daily, this is all natural and doesn't contain harsh
  chemicals like the St. Ives scrub does, what sold me on this was the maximum
  strength part of the product.
*It lathers, but not a lot, which is a good thing.
*My husband loves this, he has bacne and it helps keep it under control, and uses
  it 3 times a week.
 

Overall this product is amazing, if you have allergies to walnuts I would stay away, since the scrub part of this is crushed walnut shells, and do a test spot on your hand, I have nothing but the best things to say about this product, Thankies to Alba Botanica for making not only an awesome product but a cruelty free product as well...

I love the size of it, perfect for traveling...

Close up of the wand..
 

Packaging:

Bright 80s Green
And to be honest I picked up this
The Mega Impact Mascara and
The Mega Length Mascara soley
because of the Color of the packaging,
yeah I'm a sucker for color packaging
and especially packaging that just says 80s colors.
 

Product:

*The Formula is a bit wet, but it doesn't

take forever to dry, if the formula is still to wet

you can let it dry out a bit, and it will be easier to work with.

*So if you want to buy this mascara thinking that it will instantly

give you longer, fuller looking lashes this isn't the mascara for you.

*it will give you fuller longer looking lashes overtime.

*So if you have naturally long lashes this will coat your lashes.

*If you have short lashes and still want to use this product try layering

this mascara with others, I have been doing this since I've purchased

this and it works amazingly well.

 

Here are some pictures of my lashes before and after applying the mascara.
 

My lashes uncurled...

 

Lashes curled

 

2 coats of Mega protein mascara

before using this mascara, I used Wet N Wild's
Clinical Mascara and that definitely helped my lashes grow
and the mega protein mascara has helped my lashes grow even more..
I don't have a before picture of my lashes but I do have a picture of
a couple of months ago..
 

 

 

I like to layer my mascara
I put on the mega protein first,
followed by the Mega Impact mascara,
followed by the Mega Length mascara
and ending with the Mega Plump mascara.

 

 

So I hope you enjoyed this review thanks so much for reading...

So since I decided to go cruelty free I started looking for substitutes for the products
I used on a daily basis, and I started with my moisturizer. Now I previously used
St. Ives Timeless Skin Collagen Elastin Moisturizer, and although it is a good product,
I don't like that it is not cruelty free. So after I bought my moisturizer at
The Vitamin Shoppe (wooot wooot to the vitamin shoppe carrying cruelty free products)
we stopped at Target and as I was checking out the Clearance end caps(I love me some target clearance) I saw this product and honestly I only saw that it was a moisturizer w/ spf 15,
leaping bunny certified and was on clearance for 5.98, and I was sold.....And I am so glad
I bought this, sorry for this little mini-story lol...

Packaging:
* So I love that Alba Botanica's line of products have different color packaging for different skin
   types/collections, and since this has sea moss and the packaging is light green, I see what you
   did there Alba Botanica and I like it..
* Tube with a twist off cap, and it's a good size to travel with..
Product:
*As a moisturizer it works amazeeng, sets into my skin very nicely
*I touch my face and it feels and looks moisturized, doesn't feel greasy after using it.
*It's not a harsh sunscreen, it's natural.
*It evened up my skin tones, one of my co-workers was the first to notice the even skin tone.
*I love the  sunscreen helps prevent uneven skin tone.
*My only Con to this product is it does leave a little bit of shine.
* Makeup doesn't look weird when applied on top of this, and doesn't sit heavy like regular sunscreen.
*A little bit of this goes a long way.
*Miss moisturizer and Mister Sunscreen had a baby, It's not a heavy cream and it's not a runny sunscreen it's a good balance of the two...lol
Scent:
*For many the scent of the product is determines if they will buy any product, for me it's a pleasant
  scent, it's not too overpowering and it does fade away after application.
*Doesn't have a heavy sunscreen smell..
*If you are sensitive to smells I would say smell this in store before buying.

 

I would recommend this for everyone, I absolutely love this product, and I know I will be stocking up on this for the summer....

Thankies so much for reading..

Would I recommend this:

* yes I would recommend this, if you have a sensitive face

   (Before I bought this I researched it and some had a burning sensation,

    so air on the side of caution)

*For some the light coverage is a con.

  (I have some acne scarring and I use a concealer before hand)

Product:
It's a thick gel, so a little bit goes a long way...

I love the way it leaves my skin feeling soft, cleansed, and leaves my skin with a nice glow after.

Does a great job of removing makeup.
Does not leave my face feeling dry, and no flimy residue after it's rinsed off.
Great for all skin types, And has helped clear up little blemishes that I had.

Natural product without the harmful chemicals..

 

Scent:
The Scent is not overpowering.
The orange scent does lessen during use..

 

How I use it:

I prefer to use it at night only before bed.
I have Combination oily skin, if I wash over wash my face, my skin reacts to the dryness by    producing more oils to compensate.
A small pump of this goes along way and lathers well.
If Im wearing liquid eyeliner I use one pump for my eyes alone and another for the rest of my face.

 

Would I recommend this Product ?

Yes, it works for all skin types.
If you are sensitive to smells I would air on the side of caution...


Hope you found this review helpful....

Renpure Originals Argan Oil Shampoo & Conditioner Review

What is Argan Oil ?

 

1. Argan oil hydrates the hair in a natural way.It stops the curliness and
     roughness of the hair in an effecient way.
2. Argan oil penetrates into the hair pores or shafts and enhances the elasticity
     of hair. It also proves to be very nourishing for the growth of the hair.

3. Argan oil is very good for uncontrollable and unmanageable hair. It restores
     smoothness of hair and makes them managable again.
4. Natural antioxidants present in Argan oil strengthen the hair by repairing
     the damaged cellular membrane of the hair.
5.  Presence of Vitamin E in Argan oil makes it a tremendous afent for hair
     treatment. Many external and internal agents overheat, over styling and oxidation
     damage the hair. Vitamin E is very useful in restoring the natural hair and renewing
     and repairing the damage caused by destructive agents.
6. Researchers believe that non greasy Argan Oil locks the moisture in and adds to
     and restores the luster and shine of hair.
7. Color treatment of hair causes certain damage to hair, makes them brittle and
     takes away the smoothness. It is an additional benefit of Argan oil that it cures the
     brittle hair and increases the life of color treated hair. In this job it even surpasses
     in competitiveness from Jojoba oil.

8. It is believed by hair stylists that Argan oil may finally be the right choice to heal and
    restore the damaged, dry and weak hair from environmental extremes, excessive styling
    practices and perms.
9. Rich contents of unsaturated fatty acids like Omega 3 and Omega 9 in Argan oil are a
    direct source of essential nutritional components for hair pores and roots. These unsaturated
    fatty acids strengthen the protein bonding structures in hair thereby improving strength of
    hair and healing the split ends of hair.

Packaging:

*I like the packaging.

      *Different color for each collection, easier to shop just a matter of looking for your color.

      *Lettering has peeled off of mine (I keep mine in the shower I'm assuming its the steam
        from the hot water)

Smell:

I find the scent pleasant its not OMG!! this smells amazing, but its not gah!! this is awful either. The conditioner definitely smells the best out of the two.

Does it live up to its claims ?

* I used to use Garnier Fructis (avocado, shea and ? ) And it really helped with my dry scalp

* Other shampoos & conditioners (suave, vo5,dove, pantene) left my scalp dry and itchy.

* Does it get rid of the frizz completely ? No
  But it does calm the frizzies down significantly. And I don't have to blow dry my hair
  anymore since the frizzies are under control.

*Does it protect from heat damage ?

  Not applicable. I cut my hair September of 2012 and I have significantly cut back on
  using a blow dryer, straightener & curler.

* Doesn't lather a lot, (shampoos that lather a lot are not good for your hair)
  it does take some getting used to. After I finish putting the shampoo in my hair I add a

  little water and it gives me a little bit of a lather.

 

 

My Hair after using this :

 * My waves & curls are more defined vs. one big puff lol.

 *Leaves my hair feeling clean without the greasy feeling. 

 *I have noticed the longer I have left the conditioner in the shinier it is.

  *I started using this shampoo & conditioner because I wanted more shine

  to my lackluster hair, cruelty free shampoo and conditioner. Plus it's made

  in the USA.

 

Would I recommend this :

 

*Yes, for me the product lived up to all of it's claims (with the exception of one that was not

  applicable in this case).

*I would recommend this more for those with dry scalp problems like I do, even cutting back

on using heat styling I still have dry scalp.

*Please remember that yes I can recommend this but everyone's hair responds differently to

  products.

*I had been wanting to try something new but I was afraid it wouldn't work for me, trying

  new products always has some chance/risk to it...and I'm glad I took a chance on this...( I

  thought of Abba as I wrote that last line..lol).

I hope you enjoyed this review....
