Review: Laura Mercier Full Blown Volume Mascara in Black

Note: Please click on images for a larger view!

This is one of my favourite mascaras for my upper lashes. It is able to hold up my lashes without drooping down by midday. The reason why I only use this on my upper lashes is because this is NOT a waterproof formula. For a non-waterproof formula, it is quite strong and impressive. The only bad experience was when it rained.

Quality: Moderate-high
Durability/longevity: Long lasting (without humid/rain)
Ease of Application: Easy to apply
Brush: Great size
Waterproof: No
Packaging: Decent
Price paid: N/A (sample)

PROS
J Long lasting
J Easy to apply
J Holds curl
J Great brush

CONS

L Not waterproof

OVERALL

Like! I give this a 4/5.

WOULD I REPURCHASE/PURCHASE FULL SIZE/PURCHASE MORE?

I would definitely purchase the full size in a waterproof formula (if it exists). 

Review: Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil in 0L, 7L and 14L

Note: Please click on images for a larger view!

These are my favourite pencil liners! I usually prefer liquid liners and do not line my lower or upper waterline. However, if I had to choose a pencil liner, it would be these. They are long lasting, waterproof and are not difficult to sharpen.

Color: The black and white are generic for everyday use. The turquoise is perfect for the summer!
Quality: Very pigmented and bold!
Durability/longevity: Lasts for the majority of the day
Ease of Application: A little difficult to apply on my upper lids, but easy to apply on waterline.
Packaging: Decent
Price paid: N/A

PROS
J Waterproof (I even tested it out in the shower LOL)
J Great quality
J Does not break when sharpening
J Great colors
J Long lasting

CONS

L A little difficult to remove due to the intense waterproof ability
L Pricey
L Difficult to apply on upper lids

OVERALL

 Great liners! I give this a 4/5.

WOULD I REPURCHASE/PURCHASE FULL SIZE/PURCHASE MORE?

I would definitely purchase more colors if they release more bright and bold ones. 

Review: B. Kamins laboratories Acne Wash

Note: Please click on images for a larger view!

As I have mentioned in prior posts, I have very acne prone skin. I try my best to use cleansers that have some sort of acne fighting ingredient. As I was at Sephora, I noticed this product when I was lining up for the cashiers and I decided to try it out because this company is quite well-known for acne products.

Fragrance: Smells awful..kinda like feet L
Ease of application: Very thin texture
Target: Acne
Key Ingredients: Salicylic acid
Packaging: Easy to use pump
Price paid: $10.00 CAD (+13% HST)

PROS
J Cleans skin very well
J Great for those with acne

CONS

L Smells bad...
L A little difficult to apply due to the thin formula

OVERALL

 I give this a 3.75/5.

WOULD I REPURCHASE/PURCHASE FULL SIZE/PURCHASE MORE?

I would repurchase this in the future.

This is going to be a brief review post simply because I have reviewed this product before. However, I would like to share my opinion on the change in terms of packaging. There are several PROS and CONS to the change, but to make this post brief, they will be summarized below.

PROS
J More product is given
J Decrease in the chance of wasting product at the bottom

CONS

L Packaging is less unique
L Application is a little more difficult without the “wand” as I used to depend on it to determine the amount of product to use

Review: Sally Hansen Hard as Nails Hardener in 2106 Natural Tint

Note: Please click on images for a larger view!

I’ve always had weak nails that were thin, chipped and broke easily. I find them hideous on their own and try to cover them with more nail polish. I understand that it is definitely not helping my nails get better but it’s the best I can do! It wasn’t until recently that I was ALMOST fed up with my nails. I was so annoyed that I decided to simply try something out, ANYTHING! I picked this to try because many people online have been recommending this.

After using this a few times, I’ve noticed that it DOES make my nails stronger AS LONG AS the “hardener” does not chip off (like any nail polish). If my bare nails are exposed, they will simply be how they usually are.

Color: Sheer peachy color
Quality: Pretty good as a strong base coat
Durability/longevity: Lasts for about a week
Brush: Glides product smoothly on to nails
Packaging: Decent
Price paid: N/A (Sorry I forgot!)

PROS
J Makes nails stronger/thicker
J Easy application

CONS

L Its more like a GOOD base coat rather than something that TREATS your nails

OVERALL

 I give this a 3.50/5.

WOULD I REPURCHASE/PURCHASE FULL SIZE/PURCHASE MORE?

I would repurchase this product.
