Maybelline’s The Colossal Volum’ Express Mascara Review

From the title I think you can tell what it is was but I’l tell you anyways, it was Maybelline’s The Colossal Volum’ Express. It was pretty cheap (7.49) so I thought what the hay, extra bonus was the super cute bottle!


After getting home and I putting it on, and the first thing I noticed was that this mascara was BLACK. Like midnight no stars or moon black. So it’s definitely a night mascara. Second thing I noticed was how full and long my lashes were looking, they were huge! The last thing I noticed? The flakes on my lashes and the rub off. At the end of the day I came home to find big smudges under my eyes, so not cool.

Pros-

• Dramatic, perfect for night.
• Adds so much volume and length.
• Smells like… nothing.
• Cute bottle

Cons-

• Dramatic, too black for day.
• Leaves flakes on my lashes.
• Rubs off easily.
• Difficult to take off.

**** 4 out of 5 stars.

Should you buy this product- If you want drama, the Yes.

Nicole Kidman Powder Malfunction!

Nicole Kidman seems to have had a little makeup malfuntion recently.

Nice hair, nice earings, crazy face powder problem! Looks like some makeup artist is getting fired!

Great deal alert! 10 dollar cozy sweaters.

I love a good deal, especcially around the holidays. But black friday just scares me to death! But everybody expects a good gift, and now I have the perfect gift for any girl you know!

Next time your down at the mall, stop at Old navy. This saturday (and probably the next few days too, their one day sales are always more then one day) , they have cozy wool sweaters, just $10! I’m going to get one later today, so why don’t you get one too?
So be cozy this holiday, and still have money left over!

Lady gaga, before and after fame.

Lady Gaga, she seems to be the only thing the media can talk about now a days. But, was she always so, I don’t know, crazy? The answer may surprise you.
Truthfully, she was always sort of crazy in her music and dress. Here’s an old picture of her before she was really actually famous.

Back before she was famous and her name was Joanne Stefani Germanotta, she did still dress very sparingly, but nothing compared to how she dresses now. With her blond cropped hair and her almost pantless wardrobe, she is majorly differnt from the way she dressed back then.
And here’s a more recent pic of Lady Gaga.

Wow. Just plain wow. You see the difference? Bra and panties with chains goes to exploding bra and studded swimsuit ( Is it even a swimsuit? I don’t know what it’s called!).
So know your Lady Gaga, before and after she was famous.

The new lipstick I'm in love with.

I know my last post had to do with another makeup (Cargo Essential Eyeshadow Palette) but I’m really in love with this one too! It’s called Botanical Lipstick by Cargo.
It’s all natural and $2 out of each sale will go to St.Jude Children’s Research Hospital. But that’s not the only thing awesome about it. It gives great shine and sparkle and great moister. My lips are like the desert, but this lipstick made my lips like the rain forest (I know bad analogy but still… the lipstick is very moisturizing!) The shade I got was ‘Sarah’ (or ’shimmering pink pearl’) and I think it is universaly hot on everyone, so if you wanted to to try a color, I suggest that one. There are 17 shades to choose from though, so if you don’t like that one don’t worry. The final price is $2o. But, if your willing to find a Sephora masterclass called, ‘7 in 7′ you can get it for free. I was casualy browsing Sephora when I stumbled across the class and got a sampler bag with the lipstick in it. But even if your not as lucky as me and need to pay full price, I think it is an investment you won’t regret.

DIY- rice water toner.

Rice water as a toner, sounds crazy right? But a couple weeks ago I saw this video on youtube, and have been hooked ever since. It makes my skin smoother, softer, reduces redness, evens out my skin tone, and even helps get rid of pimples and black heads. Want to make your own magical rice water? Read more below.

How to make it

1.Take a small handful of natural or organic rice, and put it in a small bowl.
Next add hot water, so they’re is around half an inch of water above the rice.

2. Stir the water and rice with a straw until the water is cloudy

How to use it as a toner.

1.After the water is cloudy you can pour it out in to a small container, or leave it in the bowl.

2.Take the water and put a little on a cotton ball or any other applier of choice, and then apply like any other toner.

How to use it as a face mask.

1.Take a paper napkin and cut it till it’s the size or your face. Add eye, mouth, and nose holes.

2.Fold it up and soak it in the rice water.

3.Take it out of the water and squeeze out any extra liquid.

4.Place on face and go lie down some where for 10-15 mins.

I dare you to try it, and soon you’ll love it to!
