Review: China Glaze Aubrey

I really like this nail polish. The consistency is quiet nice. It is not too thick or runny, to work with. It applies on really smooth. I applied a base and top coat to this. It lasts my about 5 days until my nails started chipping. I love this color, it is so bright, colorful and happy!



Review: Daiso Volume Cross Lashes

I got this at Daiso in Canada. They were 5 pairs for $6.50.





These lashes are pretty sturdy and it keeps it's shape well.

It isn't as flexible as human hair lashes, but for a beginner like me these are much easier to maneuver onto my lash line. The ends where the lashes meet are thick. To hide this I just used pencil or liquid liner on top of it, and ta-da it's gone!




I think these are nice for a dramatic look. It definitely makes my eyes look bigger.  They are great for the price.

Since these were too long for me I cut them into two pieces. I used the remaining piece on my lower outer  lash line.

Left Side: No Lashes                         Right Side: Lashes
                                     


   Lashes on both eyes.

EOS Lip Blam Review

This review is for the EOS (the Evolution Of Smooth) lip balm. It is 95% organic and 100% Natural ingredients.  It comes in 4 flavors: lemon drop spf 15, honeysuckle honeydew, summer fruit, and sweet mint. The one I bought and will be reviewing is honeysuckle honeydew.



The Ingredients for this product is:
Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil*, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil*, Beeswax  (Cire D’abeille)*, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil*, Flavor,  Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter)*, Stevia Rebaudiana Leaf/Stem  Extract*, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil*, Tocopherol, Cucumis  Melo (Melon) Seed Extract*, Lonicera Japonica (Honeysuckle) Flower  Extract*, Limonene, Linalool. *Organic. Certified Organic





 The construction of this lip balm is definitely fun and unique. It's spherical shape is not only striking but very sturdy. It is made of hard plastic. You can carry this around in your bag and not have to worry if it will come apart or unscrew.

 

It has a very a refreshing melon  flavor, that is subtle and not overpowering. It lasts a couple of seconds before it fades away, but the sweet smell lasts a little longer.  At first, the lip balm is not as moisturizing, this is because you have to break through the top layer to get to the goodies. It only takes 1 or 2 uses.  And you won't regret it. It is really moisturizing and am addicted to smooshing this on my lips. As you can see below, the damage I did in just using this for about 2 weeks. This is due to the fact that I constantly  am putting this on my lips.

I got this at my local Rite Aid store. They are also sold at Walgreens and CVS.
