Urban Decay Supercurl Curling Mascara review

I'm waiting at the nail salon for Claudia to be done, so I'm going to do a few reviews :)

First up is the Urban Decay Supercurl Curling Mascara (I got it in black).
It retails for about $17 at Sephora.

I like the packaging, it's cute without being super feminine or edgy.

The formula is nice and thick, doesn't clump, and there's no weird smell. It goes on smoothly and builds up a little bit. It darkens my lashes nicely.

The brush is that kind that has spikes to prevent clumping, and this kind of brush typically makes my eyes itch. The curled shape makes it easier to apply to all my lashes.

My only issue is that it doesn't curl my lashes at all without a curler. So, it's just a regular mascara.

Rating: 6/10, too expensive for a regular mascara, doesn't do anything special.

Pixi Lash Booster Mascara review

I got this in my August Glambag from Ipsy, and I was pretty excited. I love mascara! Yay! And I've never tried anything by Pixi but I did want to try it. This is the Pixi Lash Booster Mascara.

This is the sample size, so I don't know if it comes any bigger, but the brush was teeny tiny. It came in Blackest Black.

I don't like this. The brush seemed to have almost no bristles, so it smoothed over my lashes instead of brushing through them. No separation, nothing. I might as well have used a cotton swab. And the mascara itself? Very, very liquid. It was so watery that, after 20 flicks of the brush, my lashes still looked exactly the same. I don't know, maybe I got a bad one or it melted in the summer, but this is such crap. Did nothing.

I'm sure you can buy Pixi at Target for maybe 7-15 bucks?

I'm Back!!

Hey guys!! I'm back!! It's been what? 2 months?! Sorry guys, it's been crazy busy.

So today, I've got the Maybelline Falsies Big Eyes and the Cailyn Line-fix Gel Eyeliner.

First up, Cailyn. I got this in my June ipsy Glam Bag, and I love it!! This is my first ever gel liner and it was so easy to use. The color is in Iron, a kinda gray color. Not too dark, not too light. I don't like using brown eyeliner because I like it a bit darker than that, but black is way too dark for me to handle. This color is perfect.

The gel liner goes on so smoothly, and I love that the brush clicks into the top of the container, it's one less thing to worry about losing and it keeps the brush clean inside my purse. Yay! I give it a 9/10.

Now the mascara. I love Maybelline mascaras, especially the Falsies series. My favorite is the Winged Falsies. Anyway, the commercials for this mascara promises two sets of mascara brushes, one each for your upper and lower lashes. Used together, it's supposed to make your eyes pop.

I'm not sure if I like this mascara. It doesn't make my eyelashes as long or as thick as the original Falsies mascara unless I do maybe 20 strokes per eye. The mini brush for the bottom lashes works well, although I don't usually use mascara on those. I find this mascara also tends to smudge onto my skin, giving me a shadow-y raccoon look. Yuck. As a mascara, though, it seems to be ok but it doesn't make my eyes any bigger. I have chinky eyes, I need the boost. I give it a 6/10.

Clinique Lash Building Primer review

Hey guys!! Claudia and I ordered some stuff off Clinique and got some free stuff :D

One of the things I ordered was this lash primer. On the website, I got it for $15.00.

Sorry about the bad quality pic, it's from my phone.


So, you put it on before your mascara and it coats your eyelashes with this white stuff that is supposed to make them look fuller and longer.


I honestly didn't see much of a difference. It glided on smoothly. But the primer actually seemed to make my eyelashes even more spider-y. 
With just Clinique's High Impact Mascara

With Clinique Lash Building Primer + Clinique High Impact Mascara

They look a bit longer, but not any fuller and definitely spider-y. Maybe I don't have enough eyelashes??

Anyway, if any of you guys wants to take this and try it out for yourself, you can have mine. Wasn't worth it and I'm not likely to use it again. Waste of a $15.

My rating: 5/10

Clinique High Impact Mascara review

I've tried this before, but it's been a while. I forgot how much I love this!!! It makes my invisible eyelashes come to life :) I got it in black. It goes on smoothly, and eventhough the brush is small-ish, it makes an impact. It lets you keep building length and volume for a while without clumping. Tell me that's not awesome. :) No smudging, which is a big factor for me. It retails for between 17 and 24 bucks.

My rating: 10/10
