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..

Product Review: Jason Naturals Aloe Vera Pure Natural Deodorant Roll-On

 

Our Pure Natural Deodorant Roll-On effectively controls odor

Natural Aloe Vera and nourishing Vitamin E soothe and soften your

**This Review is for the Roll on only**

 

Packaging:*Slim bottle, I prefer a slim bottle vs. a wider one becasue the wider
  ones are just awkward for me to handle...
*twist off cap

Scent:*it has a light pleasant Aloe Vera scent.
*if you are sensitve to scents I would recommend
  smelling this before purchasing.

Product:*I have a love/hate relationship with all roll-ons in general.
*I put it on shirtless, because I want it on my underarm not my shirt.
*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.
*I love using this when I'm just lounging around at home.
 ( I have a non-cruelty free one for work/more active days)
*I am excited to try their deodorant stick to see if it will be stronger for work.

Hope you found this review helpful, thankies for reading...

Scent:
*I usually like to start with packaging but
  for this product I am starting with the scent.
*The first time I smelled this I thought it was
  different scent I never smelled before, I looked at
  the description and I've smelled Aloe Vera and Jojoba Oil, but never the gera
  nium the more I smelled it, I could pick up the sweetness of the geranium.So if
  you are sensitive to scents I would recommend smelling this in store before purchasing.

Product:
*Bought this product to replace my previous non-cruelty free
  moisturizer.
*Like any new product I did a test spot on my neck to see how
  my skin would react to it.
*The moisturizer is thick so a little bit goes a long way.
*When I first purchased I was not using this consistently and never
  noticed a change.
*So with the second jar I have been using it consistently
 and my face has gotten smoother and my makeup looks
 so much better.
*I like to use this twice a day once in the morning and the second before bed.

Packaging:

*Squeeze tube bottle

*Color of outside packaging mimicks product.

 

Scent:

*Pleasant smell, I personally love the smell of this.

*It does linger for a bit and fades after a bit.

 

Product:

*Has a liquid consistency

*small white beads (color beads)

*Works best when fingers used to apply it to the face.
   I have tried it with a beauty sponge, but I feel I can break down the color beads
   better with my hands then with the beauty sponge or a stippling brush..

*Light coverage

*Can also be used just as a primer.

*I apply it in sections, I start with my neck and work my way up.

                                     (I'll explain in the cons why)

 

Cons:

*Product dries, I don't want to say it dries to fast, but between this and
  New York Color's Skin Matching Foundation, New York Colors foundation
  dries faster than this.

*If you have some on your hands that has dried and you apply it to your face

  it will clump up.

 

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)

I hope you found this review helpful...thanks so much for reading....and watching...

St. Patrick's Day Nail Designs

 

My second favorite holiday is St.Patrick's Day

it's my birthday holiday. I cannot draw for the life

of me, so I try to stick with designs that are

easy to do for me.

 

Here is what did...

 

Step 1: Apply basecoat..

I use Jordana's Nails be Stronger..

       The second is my Topcoat New York Color

                                                         Minute Quick Dry Nail Polish..

 ♦♦♦♦

 

Step 2: Apply Background Colors

 

For the light blue color on my thumb design I mixed
Sally Hansen's Brisk Blue

&

Sinful Colors in Snow Me White

 

For the flag of Ireland on my index finger I used

New York Color Minute Quick Dry in Pumpkin

Sinful Colors in Snow Me White

Sally Hansen Xtreme wear in Going Green

I did this applying each color and waiting for it to dry

before I applied the next color.

 

I used Sally Hansen's Xtreme wear in Going Green

for my ring finger..

I used Sally Hansen's Spring Green for

both my Middle Finger and Pinky.

 

After you have applied all of the background colors

wait an hour before applying anymore colors.

I used my blow drier on the cool setting

to help speed up the process, using the

cool setting will lessen the chances of

chipping.

 

♦♦♦♦

 

Step 3 Apply Designs

For my thumb I used

Rainbow Colors

Sally Hansen in Rapid Red

NYC Minute Quick Dry in Pumpkin

Jordana Pop Art Nail Design in Express In Yellow

Jordana Pop Art Nail Design in Define Green

 

For the Pot Of Gold I used Nicole by OPI in Disco Dolls

&

NYC Minute Quick Dry Nail Polish in Blackula

 

For My Middle Finger:

 I used Disco Dolls and

applied it using a dotting tool, if you dont have one

a bobby pin will work as well, or a paper q-tip cut in half.

 

Ring Finger:

Using Disco Dolls I appllied this color first for

the gold buckle let it dry and used the Art Deco

Nail color in black for the ribbon..

 

For My Pinky:

Using the Nicole by Opi in Disco Dolls for the french tip.

And the Pop Art Nail Color in Express in Yellow...

if you are drawing challenged hahaha you can also

use a four leaf clover nail decal.

 

Here is the finished look

 

Wanna see the video for this look...
