Dior Addict It Lash Mascara review

Hi everyone!
So today I am going to talk about the New and Exciting mascara from Dior! 

This mascara is said to deliver "Extreme Volume and Length fo total lash metamorphosis". This line also have three limited-edition colors which are purple, blue and pink!

I got this sample from sephora and I was so excited to receive it!







However, from what I saw in the results of this mascara, I am neither pleased nor in love with it.
I didn't really see any 'Wow-ness' and that was disappointing especially that it's a high end product!

When I applied the first coat on my left eyelashes, it didn't even look like I'm wearing anything! Yes, it did define and lengthen ever so slightly...I'm talkin' microscopically! Now, I normally don't apply second coat whenever I use mascara because I usually am satisfied from just one application. But when I applied the second coat, that's the time I saw volume and length. Did i mention that it flaked while I was applying the second coat? Does that usually happen to other mascaras? Typically Not.

The formulation is a bit dry on my opinion. When you apply it, it does not look flawless and smooth looking. It also feels rough to touch.

I even compared it to my Lancome's hypnose drama mascara and I only applied one coat and it looked even better than the It-lash mascara side which had second coat on. So I wouldn't exactly recommend this Dior's it lash mascara since there are great ones out there. This comes off easily with soap and water.

RIGHT SIDE: NO MASCARA
LEFT SIDE: WITH MASCARA

RIGHT SIDE: NO MASCARA
LEFT SIDE: WITH  1 COAT OF MASCARA

RIGHT SIDE: NO MASCARA
LEFT SIDE: WITH  2ND COAT  OF MASCARA

RIGHT SIDE: NO MASCARA
LEFT SIDE: WITH  2ND COAT  OF MASCARA

Comparison:
RIGHT SIDE: WITH LANCOME HYPNOSE DRAMA MASCARA(ONE COAT)
LEFT SIDE: WITH  DIOR IT LASH MASCARA(2 COATS)
Overall, it's really up to you if you want to get it or not. No one's stopping you! :) Perhaps you'll have a better experience than I did so goodluck! :)

The Balm Instain Blush in Toile swatch

Hi ladies!
I don't know why I didn't blog about this blush as early as it should've! Perhaps I love it so much that my mind shut down! Lol. Toile is a pretty coral shade and it is great for spring, summer. (Or even all year round!!!) I originally bought this on Hautelook.com for only 11 dollars I believe instead of 22 dollars from TheBalm's website! So definitely checkout hautelook's website more often since there are plenty of brands on sale there! Plus, you'll totally save some money. This has 6.5 grams which is a generous amount of product for a blush. So it seems that for 11 dollars, it is soo worth it! This is so pigmented so you do need to be careful because a little goes a long way!







Now, for the "staining" part, I think it holds up the claim. It lasts the whole day of school for me and I don't find it patchy as the day goes by. Also, as many of you don't know, I touch my face a lot and this does not budge!

Physician's Formula Happy Booster Blush in Natural Swatch

Hi ladies!
Here are the swatches of the physician's formula happy booster blush in natural. I got this off of Ulta when they were having 40% off sale on all of the Physician's Formula makeup products! This usually cost about $11.99 alone. Now this blush has three color ranges from natural, rose, and peach. This natural shade that I have is perfect fro me! It just gives you a natural(hence, the name..lol) flush of color to your cheeks! This is amazing because I don't even have to highlight! Now don't be scared with all those shimmers since it is not that harsh at all. It's like, whenever I dip my brush on it, it gives a perfect shine ad color effortlessly! I can't even! =D





       Light swatch on the left and heavier swatch on the right.

Overall this is a nice blush especially for the ones who are new to makeup because even if you pick up a lot of product, it'll still look "natural" and won't look cakey. It also blends pretty well! :)

Super Easy Nail Art

Hi guys!
So today I'll show you a super easy nail art that only used three(more like two) nail polish colors!


This literally took for only 5 minutes! I only used white to create some highlights on the feather.
It is really easy and simple so if you want to "vamp it up", go ahead! My intention was to only use linear elements for this nail art and I think this turned out to look cute! Now, for the nailpolishes, I used China Glaze's Bahamian Escape and two stripping nail art polishes from Kiss. So, feel free to try this nail art and tell me or comment down below if you did! 

See ya later!
Lovelots!
