FLASHY LASH-Y?

Hey guys! I know it's been awhile, but I am getting myself settled in after the holidays. I hope everyone had a great new year and are ready to have a kickass 2010! So lets get straight to the point and on with my first post of the year.. I wanted to mention a product that I have been using since August. It is the Shu Uemura Lash Repair. For those that have read my earlier blog posts, you would know that I used Lilash to help boost the growth of my natural lashes so they can be longer. That was a success, however, after enjoying my longer lashes, I stopped using my Lilash everyday. Before I knew it, my eyelashes started to fall out every time I cleaned off my makeup. My eyes were balding and I had to go back on Lilash again for a bunch of weeks until it became long again. SO, the above photo is what my eyelashes currently look like right now with some mascara on (only 1 layer of mascara). I stopped using Lilash again after my lashes grew to my desired length, but this time my lashes have not been falling out for the past 4+ months that I have stopped using Lilash. I believe that the Shu Uemura lash repair is the reason for that. It has helped to keep my eyelashes strong and healthy during this time, which kept my lashes from falling off even after they were at their longest length.



I bought this product for about $25CAD. I saw it on Sephora, but at the time that I wanted it, it wasn't in stock so I ordered it from a website called Kiss and Makeup NY. I have been using it everyday since August and there is still a lot of product left. I put it on before I put mascara on and sometimes before I go to bed. I guess it can be used as a primer, but it does not add much length. My purpose of using this product is to keep my eyelashes strong and healthy. Since I have been using this, I can definitely say that there is rarely any lash fall outs. I totally recommend this and would give it /5

SOMETHING PINK #4

I hope everyone had a safe and awesome Christmas! Things have been a little hectic for me this month with school, work, and events for the holidays. I felt that it was time for me to post a quick blog of something pink and random again.. This is a pink wax heater I have and I think it works really well. It heats up really quick and melts the wax perfectly. Also has different levels of heat. If anyone is interested and wants to know more about this just let me know! Happy holidays guys!!

PS. What did everyone get for Christmas? Any new and cool presents?!

ZIT TIP

Hey guys,
I got a zit on my chin last night, so I slathered on my pimple creams to make it go away. This morning the area was dry and flakey because of the benzoyl peroxide in the cream. Anyways, I remembered a trick I use to help conceal pimples a little better and kept reminding myself to blog about it. A pimple is never attractive and usually noticeable, even more noticeable when it is crusty at the same time lol. So, what I do is after I moisturize my face in the morning before putting on makeup, I pat on some of the Rosebud Salve on the pimply area that is crusty. After that, I conceal it with my Amazing Concealer (CLICK HERE FOR REVIEW) and I'm good to go. It's a little trick I came across ages ago somewhere, I think it was a magazine or something, but it works and it definitely helps. Rosebud Salve is so handy and can be used for so many different things. I also use it on my cuticles. Great product that makes a great tip lol. Hope it helps anyone struggling with those nasty zits!



This product is somewhere around $8-10 for me at Sephora. It's seriously really good. I also use the strawberry lip balm from the Rosebud line as well for my lips everyday for YEARS and I am still in love with it!

BIORE SKIN PRESERVATIONS EYE CREAM REVIEW

One day after wandering the Walmart aisles a few months ago, I came across the Biore Skin Preservations Fortifying Eye Cream. I remember that it was quite cheap for an eye cream.. probably about $6. This product claims to soften and smooth out the skin around your eyes.. Anyways, as you can tell by the picture, it is quite used up. I have probably been using it everyday for about 3 months straight. I was particularly intrigued by the Biore Skin Preservation line because I felt that I fit perfectly into their line, "Too old for acne, too young for wrinkles." This cream is very soft and thin, it is not thick at all and leaves no heavy feeling on the eyes. However, after all these months, I cannot notice any differences in my skin. The fine lines under my eyes don't look any smoother. I can't even tell if it makes the skin around my eyes significantly softer either. I continue to use the product for the heck of it, I guess just to finish off the product, but I will not repurchase it. I would give this product /5 because it doesn't break me out and its silky, but nothing more than that because I don't even think it does anything lol. If I had to say one thing about this product it would probably be "Don't bother!"

PROS: inexpensive, non-scented, smooth and silky
CONS: is this product gonna help me in anyway? don't think so :( booooo..

PS. Sorry about the picture quality. I have been using my cellphone to take all my pictures recently because my camera isn't working properly, sorry folks!

SOMETHING PINK #3

This weeks random pink item is... My pink Ipod Touch cover! I love this and actually have it in 4 different colours :)

RED CHERRY LASHES

Does anybody know where I can buy Red Cherry Lashes online in bulk? Somewhere with all the styles? Because I have had bad experiences with BOTH Iheartredcherry.com and beautyshopOC.com. oh, and not mscuppycakes either because her shipping is pretty crazy for Canadians. If anyone knows, please let me know. Thank you

La Mer Oil Absorbing Lotion Review

Hey guys, so when I bought the Creme de la mer cream, I received a free sample of the La Mer Oil Absorbing Lotion as well. I used it for a little over a week everyday. By the way, I have really oily skin. Yes, I would like to emphasize the REALLY OILY part because it is true. My oil slicks are not just on my T-zone, but they are even on my cheeks at times. Honestly, I have tried just about every oil free mattyifying lotion or primer out there and none of them have worked for me. For the week that I was using the La Mer Oil Absorbing Lotion, I have noticed that my face was matte for a few hours, but gets a little greasy afterward. It usually gets oily when and while I am working because I am moving around a lot and sweating. Point is, my skin is extremely oily and so far this is the best product that has worked for me. It does not keep me completely matte for the entire day, but lasts hours, so if your skin is greasy, but not extremely greasy like mine, I can only imagine how great this product will work for you. It is light, thin, and has not broken me out (which tends to happen with a lot of products). I really wish I had more to use because my sample is all used up. I will most likely purchase the full product soon. I would recommend for anybody who is interested in trying this product to get a sample first, which La Mer does give out. Their products are very luxurious and expensive, so it would be a good idea to get the sample in case you don't like it and waste like $200.

PROS: mattifying for extremely oil skin (for about 5hrs for me), but will probably last the entire day for people with moderate oily skin. very light and silky, no overwhelming scent, feels like nothing on the skin, does not cause breakouts
CONS: very expensive!

SOMETHING PINK #2
