Review: Voluminous False Fiber Lashes

I bought this for a dollar off a beauty auction on Instagram.  I am glad I didn't pay any more for it because I HATE IT!  It does not compare to my Younique 3D Fiberlash mascara.  It just is clumpy, and makes my eyelids hurt.  I also hate the design.

Will never buy this!

Cutex One-step Pads

In my Target Beauty Box this month I received the Cutex One-step pad advanced revival nail polish remover.  It just so happened that I had worn lacquer this week in addition to my Jamberry wraps, and it needed to be removed today.

I love the idea of polish remover on the go!  I am the type that if my polish begins to chip, I will pick at it or bite my nails.  So having these is handy to have in a purse!

I was pleasently surprised that these did not dry out my nails like some polish remover.  In fact it made them feel softer after I used them.

The felt that they are made of makes for simple removal of regular lacquers.  Two nails on each hand had a glitter top coat on them.  They required me to add acetone to the pad in order to remove the glitter.

Overeall I was happy with this product, and would consider re-buying them.  I do not recommend them on any polish with glitter.

Beauty Counter

There are many direct sales companies out there.  Many I have never heard of!  Through my experience with Jamberry I am being introduced to many different brands.  I participate in a Consultant of the Month group on Facebook, and it has given me a lot of exposure to different companies.  As well as helping me make friends in other companies.  It's great because we are all supportive of one another!

This week I tried Beauty Counter.  I had never heard of it before.  I lost a raffle, so I had to buy some product from the rep.  I chose to buy the touch-up skin concealer touch up pen.  I have a port-wine birthmark on my face, so I didn't have high hopes for it.  Yet, I was willing to try it.  I also bought the brown sugar scrub (yet to try it, so expect a blog post to come).

 My consultant was Brette Space.  She seems very knowledgeable, and nice.  If you are interested in Beauty Counter I recommend you go to her!

Here are the before and after photos.  Keep in mind, that I HATE taking pictures of myself, and I HATE drawing attention to my birthmark.

I honestly didn't have high hopes for this product.  Most concealers don't do much of anything when it comes to covering my birthmark.  This one did a fairly good job.  My favorite is still dermablend, but I am looking for other options that may be cheaper.  This is definitely in the running.

Review of Younique 3D Fiberlash Mascara

So I have been hearing a lot about Younique's 3D Fiberlash Mascara.  I was invited to tons of online parties, but lets be real.  I'm a stay-at-home mom.  Why would I spend $29 on a mascara?  I barely wear makeup as it is!  So....I ignored every single party.  Didn't even wait to see what all they hype was about.  I just left the group, and was done.

Fast forward to me becoming a Jamberry Rep meeting other vendors.  At one event there was a Younique presenter.  My up-line convinced me that I had to try this mascara.  So.....I caved.  My husband had been trying to get me to spend money on myself, so I bought some mascara.  Erin (the presenter) took me into the bathroom, and showed me how to apply it.

I didn't think that there was much of a difference between my regular mascara (that my son had just thrown in the toilet that morning) and the 3D Fiberlash Mascara, BUT everyone else did!  It has been a long time since I have received this many compliments!  Most of the time I am just wearing mascara, and nothing else.
So I decided to show you some pictures showing the progression of lashes.  Please ignore my awful lighting and eyebrows.  Like I said.....stay-at-home mom......with new baby.

No mascara

One coat of Unique 3D Fiberlash Mascara 

Two coats 3D Fiberlash Mascara

I can't even imagine what they would look like if I did more than two coats!  One is enough for every day for me!  Needless to say, I love this mascara.  I was a huge skeptic, but now I am sold!

For those of you with sensitive eyes:  My eyelids swell up with most mascaras, but it doesn't with this.

I love that it comes off with just water!  

I love that my eyelashes are super hard like a lot of mascaras make them.    

I highly recommend this product!

Something that I have noticed about Younique presenters are that they seem to be extremely pushy and narcissistic.  Erin is not like that at all.  She is super nice, and listens to questions without getting annoyed.  I highly recommend that you go to her site to shop, and try their products!  https://www.youniqueproducts.com/ErinEdwards/party/1564922/view
