Victoria's Secret Liquid Glitter Liner

I have been buying makup from Victoria's Secret for years and never plan to stop. It is surprisingly high-quality for the price. One gem in particular is the Liquid Glitter Liner.

It is super-shimmery and comes in ther perfect array of colors for any occassion. The fine tip on the applicator is ideal for a thin line above the upper lash line, although it can be applied anywhere for a fun sparkly look. I think it is a perfect cheaper alternative of Urban Decay's Heavy Metal Liquid Glitter Liner.
I will definatly repurchase this product!

Final thoughts:
Likes: formula, applicator, colors, price.
Dislikes: nothing!
Rating: 10/10

If you are interested in purchasing this product it is avaliable at Victoria's Secret for $7
For a limited time, any Beauty Rush product is on sale 2/$12  or 4/$20. Don't pass up this fantastic deal!

Tarte MultiplEYE Clinically-Proven Natural Lash Enhancing Mascara

My first impression of Tarte MultiplEYE Clinically-Proven Natural Lash Enhancing Mascara was positive. I liked the brush, which was thick and had more bristles than average. With the promises that this mascara was good for my eyelashes and was approved for not contain harmful chemicals that are present in most mascaras, I had high hopes for this product.

After using it for several days, I noticed my lashes looked fuller and more voluminous. (Bonus: it wasn't messy when applying it to those baby undereye lashes!) However, I realized the formula was not long lasting at all. In fact, the mascara lasted about four hours before wearing off, even when I applied two or three coats at a time.
I would not repurchase this product.


Final thoughts:Likes: brush
Dislikes: formula, lack of staying power

Lush Cosmetics' Too Drunk Emotibomb Review

When I woke up this morning, I felt like death. No, I wasn't battling a wicked New Year's hangover, but I was impossibly sick with a head cold that seemed to have spring up from no where. I was debating a Lush bath verses a regular shower when I remembered I had this little guy to test out.
Too Drunk was the first emotibomb I had used and was not disappointed. It was like a bath bomb, but for the shower. It reacted in the same way bath bombs do, except this was shaped differently, was scented and was extremely clarifying.
If you're a person who wants to enjoy Lush's bath products but doesn't have time for soak in the tub, the emotibomb is for you.

As Too Drunk disintegrated in the water, my shower was filled with the scent of peppermint, which shook me from my fog. The only bit that didn't wash down the drain was the eye. It was made of some sort of gel with a hard shell. After I broke the seal, the scented gel filled the shower before washing away.
After getting out of the shower, I felt like a new person. my congestion had completely cleared and my sore throat was lessened. The steam from the shower was a factor but I believe it was the emotibomb that helped out tremendously.
I would repurchase this product again.
Final thoughts:
Likes: scent, can be used in shower, may or may not have magical healing powers.
Dislikes: Nothing.
Rating: 9/10
