Review: Revlon Fantasy Lengths Eyelashes....

*sigh*

I wish I had a review for the Revlon Fantasy Lengths Eye Lashes that were sent to me by Janet from Revlon( thanks!!) but...alas....

I CAN NOT APPLY FALSE LASHES....or I ALMOST KNOW HOW TO APPLY FALSE LASHES...

EITHER WAY...I CAN'T GET THEM ON

I actually received five boxes from Janet and Revlon but I messed up two pair trying to get them on my already curly, long lashes. I've watched ENDLESS amounts of You Tube beauty gurus and still can't get them on.

But they are beautiful...right? lol! They look like lashes I've seen applied at MAC counters....

I'll save them for when I get application down packed. :)

Review:China Glaze Matte Magic...

True Story:

A couple weeks ago, I was in Sally's and saw a 'jar' full of bottles China Glaze Matte Magic for '$3.49' sign on top. I thought 'What a freaking deal!',' considering they were retail $6.50. The SA rings it up and the total is $6.81. 'That's wrong', I said pointing to the bucket of ChG Matte Magic. So she fixes my price to $3.65 (plus tax), I pay, she bags it and I'm out the door.

I look back to see her SNATCH that bucket off the counter.:)

Here's a before of Revlon Black Lingerie ( best black polish period).....
Here's an after of Revlon Black Lingerie+China Glaze Matte Magic....

Pros:

-I love the way it made Black Lingerie look...I've lemming KO polish in Black, but the price($19.00) outrageous for a bottle of matte black polish. This looks just like it...cheaper

-I can used this on top of any polish. I like the fact that Zoya, OPI and others have done matte collections, but this was way smarter choice of product for such a trendy look, make a matte top coat for any polish. When I get the Essie Mint Candy Apple...oh....its going to be on!!!

Cons:

-Bottle's super small... .325oz to be exact. But marketing and business genius on the part of China Glaze again. Why invest in regular size bottles when this trend will be a thing the past in a matter of months?

-The brush is small but it picks up alot of product. You have to eyeball just enough for each nail...

-It was create streaks if you don't do the painting right. Check out the 2nd photo...you can see bits of gloss from parts I didn't hit with MM. I left it like that so ya'll can see the streaks.

Overall:

Buy it if into the Matte nail trend. I love Matte Magic so far!!

Review: YSL Parisienne....

I dream of Paris... going there....just to shop at Parisian pharmacies, eat crepes, sight see, listen to French R&B and jazz....

I'll get there one day. I remember one of my good friends went to Paris on her honeymoon....I'm still 'wow'd' by her pictures and words when I think of it.

Last week, Total Beauty sent me YSL Parisienne ( pronounced Pa'ree' see' enne...I heard it pronounced a 'different' way so I wanted to see how its pronounced, I took Spanish not French:))

Parisenne's notes are blackberry, damask rose, and sandalwood. I totally agree with Mischo Beauty and that I smell the damask rose and blackberry but even after it dries down and wears a bit, there is no trace of sandalwood. I'm a woodsy scent kinda girl and I didn't catch the sandalwood. But I did noticed that it smells like another YSL fragrance....Baby Doll.

I wore Baby Doll for a year...2005. So I'm pretty familiar with the notes. Parisienne smells exactly like it. Even Baby Doll claims to have a cedarwood base...but it doesn't!!! lol!

But, overall, I enjoy wearing it. Its a light, day time scent( agreeing with Mischo Beauty again;))...perfect for work wear when want to smell good but not offensive. I think I lot of guys would like it on the ladies, too!

Just Like the Real Thing: Be Fabulous....

Bullet Point...because I really can't get my thoughts together...blame it on rain and my monthly "shift"....

-I was cleaning out my wallet looking for gas money ***looks around for reaction*** and came across a Cato gift card...with 7.54 on it. After I got some gas :), I went to Cato's to spend it and found "An Impression" of DKNY Be Delicious Night...the fragrance I have been literally coveting for a YEAR. It was 4.99. And compared to my mini-itty-bitty sample that I had been squeezing out of the real thing at home...it smells EXACTLY like it.

***They also had "Impressions" of Gucci,Jessica Simpson Fancy, and others..***

***PS***I bought it. Just my FTC ruling on...:)

NOTD: Essie Angora Cardi...

Okay...let me see if I can type this NOTD...just had to kick some kids out of the room so I can focus!

It's Essie Angora Cardi...sent to me by Miss Kim( thanks Diva)...It was sold out at two Trade Secrets in the area and I wasn't driving all the way to Greenville to Ulta to see it sold out again.

The big surprise about Angora Cardi is that ONE COAT is really all you need. One coat was opaque as three coats might have been. I was 'wow'd' on that...especially from Essie. A year ago, they were still pumping out the same color of nude just with different names now they are on the come up!! Go Essie!
