Loreal Voluminous Butterfly Mascara

 L’Oréal Voluminous Butterfly™ Mascara




I just had to pick up this mascara because I have loved L’Oréal Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara for so long. I saw this new mascara, read what it promised and knew I had to have it because L’Oréal always delivers! I love mascara's they spread out your lashes, lengthen and get into the corners. When you get into the corners, it can make a world of difference of how your lashes appear! It can not only make your lashes appear fuller, but make your eyes appear bigger and who doesn't want that! It has been scientifically proven that people are drawn to "Bigger Eyes" and they are one of the body's most attractive features! So work those eyes!

Here is the Skinny on the Voluminous Butterfly™ Mascara From L’Oréal:

Introducing Dramatic Fanned Out Volume:From L’Oréal Paris, a breakthrough mascara innovation to deliver a bold lash effect. The breakthrough wing tip brush catches lashes and extends to the outer corners of the eye. The new fiber infused formula delivers lashes with up to 6x more volume.
The Result: Every lash extended for a dramatic lash fringe that flutters.
How To Use:Place brush at base of lashes and gently sweep up to tip—no need to pump the wand. Removes easily with soap and water.


The Asymmetrical Wing Tip Brush!  Coats Corner to Corner

I love this mascara for so many reasons. The primary reasons are because it does not clump, it does not irritate my eyes and it is so easy to remove. This mascara leaves my lashes lengthened and separated with a silky black like finish. It is so easy to use and I love how the brush wand is curved to really help lift the lashes while applying the mascara to keep them separated. Seperation is key in getting your mascara not to clump! This mascara truly leaves your lashes with a Butterfly looking effect, winged out while beautiful lengthened and separated! I sweep the brush about three different times on each eye to make sure I get my entire lashes. I sweep it once in the middle, than once on each corner. I do not have to re-dip the brush for more product, it works so well. You might not have to do my method (3 different times), I have too because my eyes are large and there is a lot of area to cover!

Final Thoughts:

I am so happy that I bought this mascara. I have been obsessed with L’Oréal 's Voluminous Million Lashes for ages and this new one just takes it to a whole new level. I know that this is going to be a new favorite mascara of mine! I hope you enjoyed this post and I hope this helped anyone that is looking for a new mascara that lifts and separates while still coating every single lash! Leaving you looking wide eyed and ready to go!

Revlon Parfumerie Scented Nail Enamel

REVLON
NEW PARFUMERIE™
Scented Nail Enamel



Considering Revlon is one of my Favorite Nail Brands since forever, I could not pass up trying out their new Parfumerie™ Scented Nail Enamel for many reasons. The most obvious reason being that Revlon has always been by "go-to" Nail Brand choice and has never let me done. The second most important reason why I had to try it, was that I am always looking for products with a slight fragrance to it. I rarely get to wear perfume due to the chance of getting a migraine, so I am always looking for ways to wear scents without wearing a heavy perfume.

Here is the Skinny on the Nail Enamel from Revlon:

Vibrant, shiny shades go on smoothly for flawless color and than dry to light, irresistible fragrances.

I chose the shade "Beachy" because it's Golden Brown Shimmery tone will be perfect for F/W, yet it's beachy scent will be uplifting for the cold harsh months to come. It will be remind me of what is to come, winter beach holidays and than finally the end of winter!

I love the Packaging of this Nail Enamel, just like a Perfume!
This nail polish went on perfect, I did not had to redo one nail! I love how it has a shorter handle, it actually made it easier for me to paint my nails. The brush was also a tiny bit smaller than the normal Revlon brushes, I think this this also made it easier for me to get into the sides of my of my nails and do a better job. The nail polish dried quickly and left the most beautiful shade, exactly as pictured in the bottle.

I believe there are 24 shades (scents) to pick from and they all looked gorgeous. They range in a variety of beautiful colors and scents. You will definitely be able to find what you are looking for and they will look so beautiful on your vanity. This is most definitely a nail polish to display!

"110 Beachy"  is such a Beautiful Golden Brown with a Slight Shimmer!
Other Scents and Colors: Autumn Spice

Update: I wore this polish for a full 7 days before it started to wear and chip. I believe this to be outstanding considering the polish does not claim to be long lasting. My nails are not the strongest, so I was very impressed and will definitely be buying more!

Final Thoughts:

I am so happy that I bought this nail enamel. It does not have an overwhelming scent at all. I am not sure how long it is going to last because I have only had it on for a day (I will update). It just leaves a very light subtle scent. It is not like wearing a perfume, wear people are going to smell it when you pass by or when you leave the room. It is just perfect, if you are looking for a light subtle scent. I am very sensitive to scents and it does not bother me at all! I hope that you enjoyed this post and it helped you, if you are looking for a new and unique nail polish. Don't be thrown off by the scent because it is really quite subtle. I am more in love with the bottle, how well it went on, and how beautiful the shades are.

Thanks,

Cargo Activating Face Primer

Cargo blu_ray
High Definition Make-Up
Activating Face Primer





Cargo makes some Amazing products and one of my Stand Out Favorites of many is the Activating Face Primer.

Here is the Skinny on the Activating Face Primer from Cargo:

A light-weight and comfortable oil-free and silicone-free primer. Does not leave a heavy, oily or 'mask' type feeling that most primers do.
All the glow, none of the shine! CARGO's blu_ray Activating Face Primer reduces shine, refines pores and visibly reduces wrinkles. This revolutionary formula is silicone-free and paraben-free. See results in an instant. See better looking skin in 30 days. Clinically proven.
Clinically Proven Results:
95% of subjects reported smoother looking skin.
Fine lines, blemishes and imperfections are immediately less visible.

I have been using this Primer on and off for months and I really like it how it works as a primer under my Cargo Liquid Foundation (Blog Coming) and any other foundation I have. It really helped during the summer to keep the shine off my face and to make my foundation look even better. I recently started to use it more often because I was reading about all of the benefits that it provides. I had been wanting to find a primer that had anti aging benefits and here I had one all the time. I thought it only made since to start using it more often to obtain it's benefits quicker. So I have been trying to use it every time I wear a foundation. The problem is that I do not wear foundation everyday, so I decided to try to apply it over my skin care even on some days when I am not wearing a full face. This is working out great because it leaves my skin with a subtle yet radiant glow. I am really beginning to see a overall improvement to my skin. I have to admit that I do not have the worst skin, but I will take any help I can get. I truly believe that taking these extra steps like finding a primer that not only makes your foundation look and stay on better but improves you skin's overall appearance is very beneficial and can only help. Why not use a primer that has built in benefits to improve your skin?!

The Primer On My Skin and what it looks like.
It goes on so smoothly and feels so refreshing!


Final Thoughts:

I think this is a very good primer for anyone, especially anyone looking for a primer that is Silicone Free! Silicone in primers are NOT GOOD for people with Acne Prone skin. Oily Skin and silicone products are not a good combination. I think this Primer would be excellent for anyone that is prone to acne or oily skin. I really hoped you enjoyed this post and I hope it helped out anyone looking for an anti-aging primer, silicone free primer, or just a new really good primer to try out!

Thanks,
