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..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



Disneybound at Disneyland : Minnie Mouse

So last year I came across Disneybounding on tumblr, I don't remember
how I came across it but I'm glad I did
What is Disneybounding you might ask ?

Disneybounding is putting an outfit together inspired by your favorite Disney attractions and Characters by using clothing/accessories that you already have or buy from your local retailer. And that work with your budget. Since adults are not allowed to wear costumes at the Resort (with the exception of Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party) you're dressed up but just not in costume.

I am a huge Disney fan and I love the idea of it. I knew I wanted my first disneybound to be Minnie Mouse but I had nothing in my closet to disneybound as her... a couple of weeks before I found out about disneybounding I ordered a shirt with P.Sherman 42 Wallaby Way, Sydney. So I decided to go with Finding Nemo first. I had the shirt and pants just needed shoes and accessories. I found some starfish earrings and ring at payless shoes, both were on sale. Blue shoes at Target which were $9.99 and an orange handbag at DD's Discount for 12.99. And my mom got me a Finding Nemo ribbon to tie to my handbag..

So the first time I Disneybounded Minnie Mouse was at the Monstrous Summer event last June.

 

                               

                                       And the gentleman can also disneybound,
                                     my husband disneybounded as Mickey Mouse
                                   

 

                                           

                            As we walked by Minnie was about to take a pic with another

                            family she walked out and pointed to me and blew me a kiss.

                            Needless to say I had Disney feels...and teared up a bit.

                           

                            So I had the accessories just not the clothes so I had some shopping to do..

                            Red Polka Dot Top: DD's Discount $8.99

                            Black Pants (Canyon River Blues)Sears: $22.99

                            Shoes: Bongo brand, available at kmart, bought at sears

                            on sale for 9.99 using my associate discount I paid 7.99.

So here are the pictures my husband took on Sunday...

I made one change, I bought black skinny jeans

Walmart (Jordache) 17.88

 

In Minnie's Chair

 

Disneyland Resort Minnie has blue eyeliner

so I added some blue eyeshadow.

 

 

          Lovely Day for Tea outside..

 

 

In comparison of the Monstrous Summer Minnie Disneybound to the recent one, I like the more

recent one better. The first one seems incomplete to me, in the second one with my nails and my lipstick it looks more complete. I decided to change my pants because I wasn't liking that the first pair were a bit baggy..

 

I would love to see some of your disneybounds... follow me on tumblr  to share disneybound pics.

Thanks so much for reading.... Til Next Time...

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate or Sodium Myreth Sulfate.

 

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...
Thankies 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..

Product:*I have a love/hate relationship with all roll-ons in general.

*I want the aloe vera stick but the vitamin shoppe did not have so I
  went with the roll-on.
*It lasts for four hours(my shifts are usually 4 hours long) I wore it
  to work and when I got home I smelled a little musky..lol
*If you're an active person you are going to be reapplying after 4 hours.
