Review: Cover Girl Flamed Up MEGA CURL

Cover Girl Flamed Up MEGA CURL is part my my WEEKLY REVIEW 3/24/2014 I purchased mine at WALMART for $5.89CAD

This mascara is the second one in the FLAMED UP mascara by Cover Girl 

The BIGGEST difference between the two mascara is the BRUSH

The brush from the MEGA CURL is CURVED

The brush TAPERS down

HERE are my lashes WITHOUT any products

Lashes with ONE COAT of mascara and CURLED

PROS:

• Will add LENGTH

• Does NOT Smudge/Flake

CONS:

• Will NOT keep CURLS

• Will CLUMP

• Did NOT add volume (just clumped my lashes together)

OVERALL: I would ONLY recommend it to someone who is looking JUST for LENGTHENING. I found that the formula CLUMPED and DID not keep my eyelashes CURLED 

(Please REMEMBER that MY LASHES are different from yours...and they will usually NOT stay CURLED unless I use a WATERPROOF formula)

REVIEW: NYC Expert Last Lip Color

This product is part of my WEEKLY REVIEWS

The NYC EXPERT LAST LIP COLOUR line as a total of 20 shades- and is SUPPOSE to last UP TO 6HOURS

I purchased this product as a part of 2 for $3CAD deal at WALMART (I have seen them at other drugstores for around $2CAD)

• The 2 shades I tested are #446(smooch) and #440 (Creamy Caramel)

• I did not prime/use lip balm on my lips before hand, I also did not use gloss on top.

PROS:

• PIGMENTED 

• Very CREAMY

• Light bubble gum scent- that disappeared once it's on your lips

• NOT drying

• Last about 4 hours (I did eat lunch while testing this product, and did lightly blot my lips)

• Has a slight sheen (NOT a MATT finish)

CONS:

• Though this is not drying, it WILL SETTLE INTO your fine lines and dry spots (this was fixed after I used a lip balm under neath)

OVERALL: I would RECOMMEND this product! The formula felt very creamy, it felt like I was putting a lip balm on. Once I put a lip balm on UNDERNEATH, I was able to avoid the problem of the colours going into my fine lines/dry spots. I can't wait to try more colours! 

REVIEW: Rimmel Scandaleyes SHOW OFF mascara

I am REVIEWING this product as a part of my WEEKLY REVIEW

This SHOW OFF mascara is part of the RIMMEL SCANDALEYES collection. The whole series has a total of 5 mascaras. This is my second review from the SCANDALEYES. 

(Here's the review for the RETRO GLAM mascara from this collection)

This product retails for $5.98 CAD at select drugstores in CANADA

 On the tube it states that this mascara is suppose to give you "defined volume, life and length. Flat brush plumps, unique ball brush lifts and defines. Show off with no clumps!"

HERE are my eyes WITHOUT and products

My lashes POINT DOWN and usually WILL NOT hold a curl unless I use WATERPROOF mascara

• The wand has a mace like ball tip. The bristles are plastic 
• The wand is flexible 

PROS:

• Did a OKAY job separating and adding a TINY bit of length to lashes

CONS:

• The mascara SMUDGED and FLAKED throughout the day (I first noticed flaking after about an HOUR)

• Hard to use the mace like ball tip, because you would get GLOPES of products on it 

• Though I only used one coat, I can easily see this product CLUMPING if a second coat were to be applied 

OVERALL: I would NOT RECOMMEND this product. Though it did a OKAY job lengthening and separating, it DID NOT add any volume to my lashes :( 

** Please remember that this review is based on MY OPINION and can vary depending on your preference.**

REVIEW: ELF eyebrow TREAT&TAME

ELF eyebrow TREAT&TAME  $3.00 USA is part of my WEEKLY REVIEW

ELF IS NOT available in CANADA in STORES, BUT is available ONLINE. The SHIPPING is around $14.95CAD to CANADA

Most items on the site vary from $1CAD~$15 CAD I usually order on BLACK FRIDAY where there is EVERYTHING is HALF OFF (UP TO $100 of savings)

THIS one is in the colour DEEP(#81205)

(This product comes in a TOTAL of 5 SHADES)

• The product is DOUBLE ENDED 

• The TOP RIGHT shows the EYEBROW BRUSH/"TAME" end brush has SHORT and SPIRALS DOWN in the SAME LENGTH

• The other end is the "TREAT" end is a STRAIGHT brush, it IS somewhat flexible 

The "TREAT" end is suppose to help with the RE-GROWTH of your eyebrow

PROS:

• The colour is VERY PIGMENTED

• The "TAME" brush has FIBRE like materials attached to it, making it easier for the formula to adhere to your eyebrow (even if you don't have a lot of hair)
• The "TREAT" end acts as a BROW GEL 

• The colour WILL NOT rub off once it is DRY

• DOES NOT dry out/ or make your eyebrows "crispy"

CONS:

• The product can get GOUPY at the END of the "TAME" brush

OVERALL: I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND this product to EVERYONE!!! There is enough colour selection that I think everyone will be able to find their own brow shade. The product WORKS BEST if you BRUSH through your brows AFTER.

I would this RECOMMEND this EVEN to BEGINNERS. I would probably say that it will WORK BETTER if you already have some eyebrow hairs to work with, as the formula sticks to HAIR better. It still DOES FILL in the areas where you LACK HAIR.

This is a PERFECT product for those days when you don't want to take the time (in my case I just lack the skills) to DRAW your brow and FILL them in neatly with a powder product. 

I have the Benefit Gimme Brow ($26CAD) AND the SEVERAL ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS (anywhere from $20~60CAD) and I REACH for this product A LOT more often. It is sooo much easier to use and you CAN NOT BEAT the price ($3)

REVIEW: Essence METAL GLAM BLUSH 01 GLAM-ME

Essence METAL GLAM BLUSH in 01 GLAM -ME is part of my WEEKLY REVIEW

This blush was a part of the METAL GLAM display from ESSENCE COSMETICS and is APPROXIMATELY $3.25 CAD

**I realize I SHOULD NOT have done a review on this product as this the METAL GLAM display is no longer available at the MAJORITY of the Shopper's Drug Marts(I was just lucky enough to find displays that were still up at SOME Shopper's Drug Marts)**

L: The product RIGHT OUT OF THE TUBER: The product BLENDED OUT, HAS a HIGH SHEEN and CONTAINS FINE SHIMMER

PROS:

• VERY pigmented

• The FORMULA is VERY CREAMY and ESAY to BLEND

• You can BUILD UP the product to your liking

• Although there is SHIMMER in the product it is VER FINE

CONS:

• MUST BLEND FAST, Once it dries it is harder to blend.

OVERALL: I WOULD RECOMMEND this product to anyone who likes a blush with a SHEEN and SHIMMER. You only need a TINY bit of the product EACH TIME and for under $5 CAD you can't beat it!

REVIEW: L'Oreal REVITALIFT MIRACLE BLUR -Instant Skin Smoother Finishing Cream

L'Oreal REVITALIFT MIRACLE BLUR- Instant Skin Smoother Finishing Cream is part of my WEEKLY REVIEW

I found mine at WALMART for $21.96 CAD (This seems to be the cheapest REGULAR PRICE)

The purpose of this product is to act UNDER MAKEUP as a PRIMER or act ALONE as a SKIN SMOOTHER

I have the ORIGINAL formula (there is also a OIL FREE formula):

• As seen from the ABOVE picture, it comes out as a THICK consistency 

• Once it is BLENDED it will leave NO VISIBLE FILM 

• LET DRY before applying MAKEUP to stop the makeup from SLIDING

PROS:

• NON SCENTED

• Very smooth finish- DEFINITELY smooths out skin (Blurs out fine lines/pores)

• You can see a SIGNIFICANT difference even if you DO NOT put makeup on 

CONS:

• Will STICK TO DRY SPOTS 

OVERALL: I WOULD RECOMMEND this product:

• Though it is on the pricier side a LITTLE DOT will go a LONG WAY

• The product GOES ON SMOOTHLY and smoothes out your skin, BUT DOES NOT FEEL GREASY

• Can be used both UNDER and OVER makeup

This is a GREAT alternative and for me WORKS BETTER than the MAKEUP FOREVER primers that easily go from $30~$50 (I have used both the MICROPERFECTING primer and the ALL MATT primers). Let me know how this WORKED FOR YOU!!!

REVIEW: Essence ALL ABOUT MATT- fixing compact powder

This product is part of my WEEKLY REVIEW series 

The ESSENCE ALL ABOUT MATT fixing compact powder is a NEW (BUT PERMANENT)product recently (at least in my region) introduced by ESSENCE cosmetics.

In CANADA they are available from SHOPPER's DRUG MART. I purchased mine for $3.99 CAD

**THERE IS ONLY ONE SHADE**

As you can see from the RIGHT side picture 

• The VERY TOP shows a ONE SWIPE SWATCH of the product

• The MIDDLE picture show the product on my skin WITHOUT it being BLENDED

• The last picture is a picture of the product once it is BLENDED 

PROS:

• WILL ABSORB oil (I used the product to FIX the my SHINY T-zone throughout the day)

• Will blend out quit nicely 

• Smooth powder

CONS:

• IF you apply TOO MUCH product or DO NOT blend it properly you WILL have a WHITE CASTE (WITH or WITHOUT FLASH photography)- ALSO remember I HAVE A YELLOW UNDERTONE 

• DOES NOT have a mirror 

OVERALL: Though this product has a VERY reasonable price tag, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND this product. Here are the reasons:

• It's really hard to TOUCH UP with this product, because IT DOES NOT have a mirror and that makes it hard for you to check if you BLENDED the product properly(I know this could be where they are saving COST- but I HAVE ELF products that HAVE MIRRORS and cost about the same)

• I DO NOT carry a blending brush with me, so I used a COMPACT SPONGE....which is REALLY NOT a great tool to use when it came to blending in the product

• WILL SETTLE into your FINE LINES/DRY SPOTS

If you have VERY OILY SKIN and perhaps a LIGHTER skin tone, you COULD TRY this product out. I definitely WILL NOT REPURCHASE.

REVIEW: Wet n' Wild H2O Proof Liquid Eyeliner

I'm review this product as a part of my WEEKLY REVIEW series. 

I'm always on the lookout for WATERPROOF eyeliners. My HOLY GRAIL waterproof eyeliner is the ESSENCE WATERPROOF LIQUID EYELINER(<- CLICK for the REVIEW)

BUT that doesn't mean I've STOPPED looking...it's always nice to have MORE THAN ONE holy grail products! I remember reading/watching review on the WET n' WILD H2O PROOF LIQUID EYELINER a long time ago...and decided to pick one up! They range from $5.96 CAD-$6.89CAD each.

The applicator is VERY POINTY

The applicator IS NOT FLEXIBLE 

The formula is VERY THICK

Takes a while to DRY

*It's hard to tell in the picture, but it actually has a GLOSSY finish**

I wore the eyeliner for about 6 hours, it DID LAST and was WATERPROOF (I washed my face with WATER) BUT THIS happened after an hour (do remember that I have OILY eyelids)

And it KEPT happening throughout the day. (I had to wipe the transfer about 3 TIMES)

** Please remember that I AM A BEGINNER at applying eyeliner/ I HAVE OILY eyelids and these are just MY EXPERIENCE with the product**

PROS:

• The formula IS waterproof. If you don't have oily eyelids it MAY not transfer like it did on my eyelids.

CONS:

• VERY POINTY TIP/NOT FLEXIBLE- the tip is SO POINTY and not flexible that it felt like I was POKING myself while I was applying this product

• The formula of the product is REALLY THICK and DOES NOT apply smoothly NOR does it distribute the product evenly (I had to go over parts of my eyes several times to MATCH the darkness/thickness)

• IF you have OILY eyelids, it will SMUDGE many times 

• I could FEEL (almost a drying feeling) the product on my lids throughout the day

OVERALL:  There are MANY MANY products that I LOVE from Wet n' Wild, but this one IS NOT one that I would recommend.

I do realize that sometimes product formula is up to PERSONAL PREFERENCE...but I really felt UNCOMFORTABLE APPLYING the product. Even though it is somewhat inexpensive I would still say SKIP IT!

IF the product worked for you PLEASE comment below on how/why you like it!

REVIEW: ESSENCE Silky Touch Blush- $2.99CAD

I have a weakness for the word "NEW" ...AND that is why I bought the ESSENCE SILKY TOUCH BLUSH  (60 LIFE's A CHERRY)

1- Swatched ONCE
2- Swatched TWICE

• The blush is VERY PIGMENTED 

• Has a sheen

• Is BUILD ABLE 

PROS:

• DOES NOT fade throughout the day (I wore it for about 6 hours)

• The colour is VERY PIGMENTED

• VERY soft - "SILKY"

• It is ALSO BUILD ABLE 

• ONLY $2.99 CAD

CONS:  NON

OVERALL: I would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND this to EVERYONE!!! The blush comes in 4 different shades, and for $2.99CAD each I can't wait to try more!

Thanks for Reading! JC

REVIEW: RIMMELSHOW OFF LIP LACQURER

RIMMEL SHOW OFF LIP LACQUER

THESE first came out in the UK as the RIMMEL Apocalips. There are a total of 13 SHADES.

THEY are around $7.99-$9.99 CAD (I have seen them on SALE at various DRUGSTORE for $3.99)

HERE are the 5 shades I will review

            FROM TOP:

1. 101 CELESTIAL
2. 102 NOVA
3. 401 AURORA
4. 303 APOCALIPTIC
5. 400 BIG BANG

TOP LEFT: 101 CELESTIAL 

TOP RIGHT:102 NOVA

CENTER: 400 BIG BANG

BOTTOM LEFT:401 AURORA

BOTTOM RIGHT:303 APOCALIPTIC

The APPLICATOR has a DENT, which stores a deposit of the product, allowing ONE simple application (no need to re-dip your applicator for application)

The applicator is VERY SOFT

These lip lacquers are EXTREMELY PIGMENTED. Here is 400 BIG BANG swatched on my lips.

• I DID NOT put lip balms on before hand
• I DID NOT use a lip liner
• I DID NOT RE-APPLY
• No LIP GLOSS/BALM
• I DID NOT APPLY LIP BALM throughout the day

ONCE you GENTLY PAT your lips, THERE WILL BE BARELY ANY transfers. 

DRIES to a MATT finish, DOES NOT feel overly drying

DOES NOT feather 

The COLOR DID NOT fade at all throughout the day (around 6 hours) and transfer was minimal.

PROS:

• PIGMENTED
• Many shades
• DOES NOT dry lips
• Minimal Scent- IS NOT SWEET

CONS:

• If you DO NOT put on a lip balm beforehand, the color will remain in the wrinkles of your lips

• Certain colors will stain a little  (THE BRIGHT COLORS)

OVERALL:  I would 100% recommend this product. I found it felt better on my lips, if I PUT LIP BALMS BEFORE I applied the product. I like the product without any gloss, but adding LIP BALM throughout the day does help- Especially if you are NOT used to drier lip products.

I can't wait to hoard buy the other shades!!! TELL ME if this product worked for you?

REVIEW: STAYS no matter what- Waterproof eye (pencil 02 stunning brown)-$1.99

I purchased ESSENCE STAY no matter what- Waterproof eye pencil NOT to use as a eye pencil...but for my eye brows. 

The WATERPROOF part really caught my eyes. 

• I wore this in my eyebrow (I did not include a picture...as my eyebrows were pretty UNTAMED) for about 6 hours, it did not FADE

• You DO have to brush through it, as it will ball up a tiny tiny tiny bit

• DOES NOT have a RED undertone

• PERFECT for my BLACK eyebrows- NOT TOO DARK

PROS:

• Very creamy - would be a good eye liner 

• DOES NOT smudge

• I wore it to the gym, and the sweat DID NOT make it run

• ONLY $1.99 CAD

CONS:

• IS NOT a TWIST UP- You will have to SHARPEN- This could be a hassle- The surrounding is HARD PLASTIC

• If NOT careful (REMEMBER I WENT over the same SPOT OVER AND OVER) it will ball up a tiny tiny tiny bit.

OVERALL: I would HIGHLY recommend this product, both as a eye liner OR alternatively as a EYE BROW PENCIL. I have both the Anastasia Brow pencil AS well as the Benifit Brow Pencil-THIS ONE is just as good- especially the PRICE!!! JUST REMEMBER to BRUSH through your brows!

I hope you TRY IT for yourselves!

REVIEW: ESSENCE GET BIG! lashes mascara- $3.99 (NEW IN TOWN collection)

ESSENCE GET BIG! lashes mascara is the second mascara I hauled from ESSENCE. This mascara is also a part of the NEW TOWN COLLECTION.

• NOT WATERPROOF

• BIG wand- it's hard to see in the picture but the wand has a TINY BED in the middle

• It looks as though it MAY have FIBERS attached to the bristles

Here are my lashes BEFORE applying the mascara/curling

HERE are my lashes AFTER ONE coat of the mascara and CURLING it 

• I DID NOT feel like the bristles really grabbed my lashes

• The brush was also very big, making it hard to maneuver

• The formula did grab the tips of my lashes, but did NOT help increase VOLUME in my opinion 

• Did not weigh my lashes down too much, DID NOT need to curl my lashes throughout the day 

• The FORMULA is on the drier side 

PROS:

• Does not smudge

• Will keep eye lashes curled through the day

• Does add length to the lashes

• Only $3.99 CAD

CONS:

• The brush is too big (personal preference)

• The formula DOES NOT grab onto lashes

• HARD to get the TINY lashes.

OVERALL: First, remember that mascaras are really UP TO PERSONAL PREFERENCE and LASH TYPES, with that in mind. I WOULD NOT repurchase this particular mascara BUT I do think it is worth a try,  ESPECIALLY if you are looking more for LENGTH than volume, and DO NOT mind the BIG brush. 

Hope you enjoyed the review! Comment below if you have a FAVORITE ESSENCE mascara!

REVIEW: ESSENCE LASH MANIA RELOADED mascara

I recently HAULED some ESSENCE cosmetics . A NEW item from that haul is the ESSENCE LASH MANIA RELOADED MASCARA. I hauled this from the NEW IN TOWN collection from Essence. 

• It IS NOT a waterproof mascara. It has PLASTIC SPIKY bristles (DOES NOT HURT).

• As you can see from the picture, it has 6 SEPARATE columns of bristles.

• The bristles TAPER DOWN (shorter on the ENDS), which ALLOWS you to get the shorter lashes.

HERE is a picture of my lashes BEFORE the mascara/ or curling 

My lashes POINT DOWN, and WILL NOT HOLD a curl on their own. They are quit SHORT as well.

HERE are my LASHES AFTER ONE COAT of the mascara (I CURLED my lashes BEFORE applying the MASCARA)

• The FORMULA is VERY WET (I PREFER THIS over DRY)

• I wore it for about 6 HOURS and there were NO SMUDGING UNDERNEATH my eyes

• IF you do NOT wait for it to dry and CURL your lashes, it MAY transfer a TINY bit on your eyelids

• KEPT my CURLS- DID NOT use eyelash curler throughout the day

PROS:

• DOES NOT smudge

• KEEPS eye lashes CURLED - I was VERY IMPRESSED- MOST mascara that ARE NOT waterproof DO NOT KEEP my lashes curled. SOME WATERPROOF mascaras WEIGH my lashes down. THIS DID NEITHER. 

• Easy to take off

• Provided adequate LENGTH and VOLUME (I would say MORE LENGTH than volume)

• ONLY $4.99 CAD

CONS:

• Has a VERY WET formula

OVERALL: I would STRONGLY recommend this MASCARA, even if you do not like the wet formula, you could wait for it to dry up a bit. The price is GREAT at $4.99 CAD, AND it LENGTHENS AND VOLUMES as well as HOLDS CURLS. 

I HOPE they decide to keep this in the permanent collection as I would REPURCHASE this product in a heart beat!

REVIEW: KIRKLAND (COSTCO) PRE-MOISTENED TOWELETTES

http://www.costco.com/Kirkland-Signature%E2%84%A2-Daily-Facial-Wipes-2-x-150ct-Cleansing-Towelettes.product.100043581.html

I HAVE been LOOKING for MAKEUP REMOVER wipes that DO NOT leave a residue OR dry out my skin....when I stumbled onto these.

I have seen a few people on Youtube review them...but HERE is MINE!

WHERE TO PURCHASE: I found mine at my local COSTCO, KIRKLAND is COSTCO's own brand. They are around $12~$13 CAD. OR According to COSTCO US they are $37.99 USD (this includes SHIPPING and HANDLING- I could NOT find them on the COSTCO CANADA SITE)

The wipes comes in a box with a TOTAL of 300 WIPES. The TRAVEL SIZE contains 15 wipes, while the REGULAR SIZE contains 30.

PROS:

• Good price. (300 wipes for $13CAD equals to about 4.3CENT a wipe)

• Great SIZE- I have a big face...and these wipes covers my face!
  

• VERY moistened 

• VERY durable (they are quilted) but quit soft

• You can use BOTH sides of the wipe

• When using it to take off swatches, it will not dry up easily.

CONS:

• I DO NOT consider my self to have a sensitive nose...but these wipes are VERY scented. It's NOT an entirely UNPLEASANT scent...but it DOES linger

• I have NORMAL-COMBO skin during the winter months (Where my T-Zone will get oily through out the day) these wipes DRIED MY SKIN- to the point where I COULD SEE my skin flaking (I DID think of the possibility of not exfoliating- but I tried exfoliating regularly, moisturizing and it STILL DRIED my skin!)

• Can ONLY be found at COSTCO

OVERALL: Keeping in mind I have NORMAL-COMBO skin AND I live in a REALLY cold town, I WOULD NOT recommend this to anyone who may be ALREADY experiencing dry skin. I also WOULD NOT recommend this to anyone with SENSITIVE skin, as I am quit sure the perfume in this product WILL IRRITATE your skin :(

I really wish I HAD READ more reviews before buying....I bought 2 boxes as they were on sale (I believe $3 off original price) So I'm stuck with 600 WIPES...I have been rinsing them out and using them...OR using them to wipe swatches off of my hands #_#

PLEASE COMMENT BELOW if you have any good makeup remover wipe SUGGESTIONS!
