REVIEW Segment: Not Too Pleased With..

so i think i'm gonna start doing this as a segment/series once i've accumulated a couple of products that i did or did not like &share my thoughts w/ you here on my blog. (=

1. Maybelline XXL Extensions Mascara in Very Black

i thought this mascara was really going to extent my eyelashes but sadly.. it did not &the primer side didn't seem to make a difference either.. it was most likely b/c i have been so use to using covergirl LashBlast that switching over to this mascara once my 3 month time period was over was such a disappointment for me b/c it doesn't not come close to the results that lashblast gives me! /=

2. Covergirl LashBlast Luxe in Black Platinum

this may sound &look weird but i wasn't too pleased w/ the luxe version of lashblast for one reason only.. other than this reason it works just as good as the regular &a lot better than the mascara above so i am currently going to use up this mascara for the next 3 months until it's time to change again BUT the thing is.. it is very hard to remove &i use mandom makeup remover &like a lot of you all know it's one of the BEST removers out there but i guess b/c of the shimmer that is in the luxe's formula i have to put some extra effort to remove it which is kinda of annoying AND i didn't really notice the shimmer to it!?

personally i think sticking to the regular lashblast would be my best advice as this was a waste &there was no big WOO to it. why mess w/ sucess.. right!?

3. Naris Up Cosmetics Japanese Egg Shell and Collagen Facial Mask

so i know a lot of the beauty bloggers out there liked this stuff but it didn't seem to do anything for my face &i'm not really a mask person so i guess my face just wasn't responding to it! /=

if any of you would like to take this off my hands i only used it 2x &will sell it for $7.00. please let me know if you are interested! (=

REVIEW: Mandom Lucido-L Designing Aqua Hair Curl Lotion

so i finally got the chance to try this out which i should have done sooner b/c i must say it is quite difficult to curl short hair especially for the very first time since i got my haircut. there's gonna be some getting use to before i can really enjoy using this product as i even burnt my forehead in the process of curling my hair! /=

OVERALL:
it was quite difficult for me since curling short hair isn't that easy but i like this product b/c normally i don't use anything for my hair when i curl it b/c i don't like the sticky-ness that comes along w/ hairspray. so with this product it holds the curl w/o the sticky-ness which is what i like about this product.
